Kanazawa Tomoko, who I discovered today, is the second coming of Maeda Yuuka

I read that as Yuki Maeda and read the next three posts that way until Mizura's post reminded me who the heck Yuuka Maeda is.

Sayumi's grandfather passed away.
 
It sounds like he had been in a coma for about a year.

Already translated thanks to Yuki.

I teared up reading that. She already has a very beautiful heart.

Has anyone heard of this S/mileage event:
S/mileage 2nd Original Album "(2) Smile Sensation" Hatsubai Kinen Event
 
Described on CDJapan as:
"Live DVD from S/mileage features their event held at Laforet Museum Roppongi on May 26, 2013 (60 min. approx.)"
 
 
I looked for a thread but couldn't find one. It's now available from CDJapan as a one-hour DVD:

Anyone know what it is? Is it any good? Worth buying?
 
Thanks.

I was trying so hard to fight back my tears while reading this  May he rest in peace and I know Sayu will be stong as always :)
 
Thank you for the translation :)

Sayu's post almost made me shed some boyish tears, because I know exactly how she feels. She truly does have such a kind and gentle heart.
 
But yay! Go, go, Juice=Juice!

Wow. Sayumi is...someone special, isn't she? How lucky to have a grandchild like that. How lucky to have a grandpa like that. 

[smtmissin]

 I bawled my eyes out half way through and had to stop reading.  Sayumi had never been my favorite but she is such an admirable lady.

Captain's Birthday Setlist:
1) 22sai no Watashi

First Event Dance: C/C Cinderella Complex

Second Event Dance: Dakishimete Dakishimete

[Farrah]

It's kind of amazing to think that Sayumi had been going through all of that over the past year and it didn't for one moment show in her work. Her blog post was very touching, she seems like such a wonderful girl, inside and out.

Morning Musume were on Mechaike, let's all cheer for some TV time! Watch it!

That Renai Revolution section was awesome.
 
The new dance is really boring, but it's kind of fun with the old one.

[cadmonkey]

Good appearance.  I started to cringe when Erina started doing her magic trick, but they played it well.  Then she completely redeemed herself with her answer to that question about Miki's parents.
 
Off topic, but is there a reason why Okamura is in that costume?  Is that a regular thing on this now?

[AurA]

Fantastic.

[pandapanda]

Best MM tv appearrance in forever.
 
And they looked boss doing the new RR dance.

Morning Musume will appear on Billboard Japan Music Awards 2013 ceremony

Ignore the fan-made videos, they make no sense. Instead, check out the new BABYMETAL thread in the Music Chat.

[Haru]

I was praying I'd get to hear this.

I wondered if they'd gotten a new member since I last checked but then I remembered that whenever there's one I don't recognize, it's invariably Sakura.
 
And what was Clark Kent doing among the four suits in the studio? (Second from left when they stand together.)
 
I ordered the 2003 edition of Mechaike because it's got the fake parents skit that I love so much (excerpted here when we see the shot of Miki's yakuza dad). But now, after seeing the bit from "Renai Revolution," I realize I have to order the 2001 edition also.
 
What's the full name of the guy that hosts Mechaike?

[Shoujo Q]

The show is hosted by Ninety-Nine, Takashi Okamura and Hiroyuki Yabe. 

Takashi was in the character costume. And Hioyuki was the host. 
 
Speaking of Sakura, the MM Channel updated with her performance of Dearest from her solo fanclub event. [Watch]

[Vikitty]

Goose House's cover of LOVE Machine is amazing.

Hyadin has a chat with Tsunku. H!O translated it.

[AurA]

Great read, it must have been particularly difficult to translate with all the lingo.

Best line of the interview: "Hyadain: Michishige-san's voice carries well on Auto-Tune."
 
LMAO
 
Also, Tsunku is a great interview. I don't know if he's really as genuinely and enthusiastically open as he seems, but he's always interesting.

[Shoujo Q]

Morning Musume were briefly on Mechaike again. Like really brief. But at least they were on! ;D Thank Mechaike for releasing these Musume episodes onto DVD so it gives them a reason to be on.

[kira]

Morning Musume will be on the Hey! Hey! Hey! 20th anniversary special along with Arashi, Kanjani8, and other currently unannounced artists. It will air on the 13th of January.

[Anderei]

It was announced today at their House tour that S/mileage are doing a Spring tour next year. They've never done one before.
1/23 to 5/25, 20 locations with 28 performances. 
 
 

[Shoujo Q]

They will continue to do live house tours, no real concert venues. UF blew the budget on all those Budokan concerts. ;D
