Hello!Station :: Tag Team Edition

[DonJuan]

Another aquarium.

[MejraThea]

A lion cage.

[aine]

An annoying puppet.

[Derby]

A big, gold Momocchi statue to have behind the hosts for the eternity.

[TicTacAnyone]

Did.... Did H!S just make an even worse opening? What in the holy hell.... That was like video editing 101. I'm having flashbacks to 2009 AMVs. That's bad.

So does anyone know what exactly Country Girls was recording in the recent episode?

[Solarblade]

From Mr. A of jplop
 
- 5-nin Country Girls announcement : Country Girls will perform a special new song "Idol Sotsugyou Chuui Jikou!" (アイドル卒業注意事項) at their Spring Concert Tour ~Momochi-ism~ @ Nakano Plaza on 5/4. A graduation song dedicated to Momochi. There are a lot of dialogue lines they will say to Momochi in the song. no release date announced.

[TicTacAnyone]

Here is the subtitled version of the renewal episode, #214!
 
There was a really interesting Ogata and Haga therapy session in there.

[momoirosaya]

On this weeks H!S for Documentary of HelloPro, they featured Chisaki. I'm sure it was a direct result of everyone being worried during the announcement video. She still looks not thrilled about the situation though.

[Anderei]

She's more of the serious type and what's happening to her group is nonsense so I can't say I blame her.

[Meikochi]

It seems next H!S (on 1/10) will undergo a renewal (likely a new corner ?). Reaaally hope it will be something if not fun at least a bit interesting like the quiz segments they had last year (if I recall well) because I don't even bother watching H!S since August or so.

[DonJuan]

Same. I think I have not even watched MV previews. They did a great job at making all their YouTube shows incredibly boring.

[Anderei]

Nothing is more boring than tiny tiny. It's so bad I can't believe they thought those segments were a good idea. He latest has Maasa showing you how to turn a hanger into a paper towel roll.

[DonJuan]

I totally forgot about that one. They got rid of the most interesting parts in H!S (solo corner, quiz, full MV previews). Do they even show the recording process on Upcoming anymore? (Music+ was also superior to this.)
 
Just checked and realized that tiny tiny replaced Girls Night Out. And I thought that show was boring.

[Meikochi]

Pretty sure they still show some recordings and (sure about that) lives on Upcoming.


Edit : and today's tiny tiny featured Maasa cutting a pile of tissues to double the number of it. Miya customising keys and hair pins wasn't that bad afterall.

[Anderei]

Today's Upcoming featured Mao showing us how to fold t-shirts in a pretty way. It's also being renewed and will have a new corner when it returns.
 
Fuck all these shows.

[Meikochi]

Just in case you missed the same awesome corner by Maimi (on tiny tiny) .. Really Up-Front ?

[Anderei]

That was DIFFERENT. She showed us how to fold towels!
 
Edit: Wait no lol no she didn't! She did also show how to fold t-shirts!

[momoirosaya]

New Harosute started. They’re back to one girl hosting (which is more boring imo) and they have live footage again.

[Anderei]

Is the live footage the new corner?

No it’s something where the girls learn something, like the cooking they did. This time Ayano K and Rikako did calligraphy, although I don’t know if it will be calligraphy everytime.

[Anderei]

They should have had Take-chan do it. That's her major.

They had them learning as first timers. Or are you saying Take-chan should teach them?

[Meikochi]

Ruru sang a little bit of Memory Seishun no Hikari before Oshiete!○○Sensei.


Mizuki was hosting this week and answered 2 questions from fans. She was asked to choose her favorite MM B-side : she answered choosing one was very difficult but she mentionned her duo with Ayumi as Wakuteka, she likes this very cute song + their duo cover even if it was only for a B-side. 2nd question was about her personnal goal this year, which she said will be to have more hobbies. She also mentionned later (after the calligraphy corner) that she is left-handed and was forced as a kid to do calligraphy with her right hand so she was very bad at it, felt really bad because she couldn't do it properly, which is kind of a trauma for her. (How can Japan be so late on things like this ? It stopped more than 40 years ago over here. She isn't even a countryside girl.)


First corner is new, it's a dictionnary relay between all MM members to give a keyword for all 50 sounds (mores) of the Japanese (the 51th being "n" but it can't be the first syllable of a word).


Second one was a footage of H!P Dance club rehearsal and Manakan rehearsing alone for 2 hours, with explanations of what she was doing.


Third corner is a live footage, Hello! No Theme performed on 1/2 at Nakano Sun Plaza.


Forth corner was presented as new : every week a teacher will teach two H!P members, this time being Rikako and Ayano K. about calligraphy. Teacher's tips are written in small boxes on screen so it may actually teach something ? But it is not really entertaining.


Last, new corner as well, following hairstyle corner, we will now have a "styling corner". This week, Sakura showing us how she does her usual eyemakeup (+ what she does for concerts). From Mizuki's comments + hers, it seems she really likes makeup.


Next week's host loves Buono! (and talked with them), dogs and has beautiful black hair.

Spoiler: [+]

I convinced myself watching this from start to end would be good for my oral examination tomorrow haha. I don't think I will do it for girls not in my ranking's top.

[Anderei]

None of these girls really do the kind of makeup worth watching a video for. Looking forward to 20 tutorials for the same look.

[momoirosaya]

Harosute has become so boring now. I think the last time I watched one in full was when I was in bed with a cold, which was like 2 weeks ago, but before that like at least a year. I only scan for the good parts.
