10. What is your favorite group/singer?
Morning Musume is my favourite group and Tomoko Kawase is my favourite singer~ (she's tommy february6 and heavenly6I've heard all sorts of crap about how people don't like Resonant Blue, or they love Resonant Blue, or Manoeri should sing Resonant Blue, or Eri's graduating because of the "Scandal." And here's what I have to say to everyone:
SHUT UP.
I will be the first to admit that Mikan was amazing. I loved it. It brought me back to the Koko ni Iruzee days, when the members were just skipping around singing about happiness and the importance of love and stuff, not the stuff they sung about in the MoMusu 'dry spell' that I refer to as the period between Ambitious! and Onna ni Sachi Are. I really hated Kanashimi Twilight and Aruiteru. Egao was good, but it reminds me of the color grey. Those three singles were just fuzzy and kind of a small coffee stain on on the pages of Morning Musume, to me at least. That was 'sexy Morning Musume,' which, if I'm not mistaken, hasn't really worked for them in the past. Tanpopo was 'classy' in it's sexiness for the first generation, but it slowly evolved into a cute but mature sound for Kago, Niigaki and Konno. v-u-den tried the 'sexy' look and their sales plummeted after their third single. Goto Maki has just been a bad memory for Hello! Project, as of late. So I would like to say to everyone who's heard the radio rip for Resonant Blue:
CALM DOWN.
WAIT FOR THE PV.
IT'LL ALL BE OKAY. HELLO! PROJECT WON'T COLLAPSE.
Right now, Wonderful Hearts are all that Hello! Project has. I desperately hope they get a new soloist or group in the near future to liven up Wonderful Hearts, or even a cheerful soloist to slap the Elder Club in the face and make them see that life doesn't stop at 22.
And as a special treat, I'll give you an AKB48 PV.
It's that time of the. . . day or whatever, for me to make a new blog post. And this one is action packed!
First, I'd like to complain about my sickness for the last three days or so. I'm still sick, so yeah D: Anyway, what happened was I stayed home sick 2 days last week of an upset stomach. Nothing bad happened, but I still stayed home and was back in school on Friday. Then, on Monday when I went to school at about 10 (we had a 2 hour delay) I felt sick, but my mom didn't let me stay home. I went to school and took a test (ugh) and then during 4th period I couldn't handle anything. xD I went to the nurse (at my strictest teacher's recommendation) and when my mom took me into her car I threw up out the window D: Then I went home and was sick some more, then laid around on the couch for 2 days and today I can move again.
Anyway, yeah. So today was an exciting day when I logged on and checked Some Boys! and Totally H!P and even Hello! Online (which I don't like anymore D< ) I checked it out and saw the top story: MIKI FUJIMOTO HAS A RELEASE AHEAD! I'm exited xD I don't remember what it's called >.> but it's not a j-poppy song like her regular songs, and it's more of a children's type song. It's part of a competition thing with this guy who's been on Uta Doki a few times. They're both releasing their own version of the song and then I guess the winner gets something or something >.>;;
And now onto the Wonderful Hearts Poll. I found it on Totally H!P and did it, but forgot about it xD
My Berryz results weren't that on par as I forget their faces sometimes D: But here's my results~
Morning Musume:
1 Junjun is just too adorable xD I wish she'd gotten more lines in Mikan, but I'm sure that she'll be a big part of Morning Musume in the future!
2 Sayumin is the perfect idol, except for her singing. She's funny, weird, cute and a really good dancer xD
3 NiiNii~ She's grown on me because of Wendy, basically. Plus she's not as scary as she was when she was young.
4 Mittsi's grown on me recently. And she looks much better with short hair xD
5 Eririn is awesome xD Tsunku just doesn't use her enough D< She sounded better than Reina in the auditions for 6th gen., if you ask me
6 Aichan is awesome xD She's just not as cool as everyone else D:
7 Reina gets on my nerves sometimes, but I like her more than LinLin and Koharu
8 LinLin is just there for me xD She's got the weirdest voice too D:
9 Koharu is so annoying D< She's growing on me, but she's Tsunku's favourite for no good reason D<
Berryz Koubou:
1 Momochi~ She's epic xD She's got a strange voice, but she's still good at singing. xD
2 Kumai Yurina: >.>;; I dunno xD
3 Risako: She's pretty cool xD Plus she's got lead vocals in VERY BEAUTY and that song is epic xD
4 Tokunaga Chinami: She's hilarious xD and she's weird looking, but in an endearing way
5 Natsuyaki Miyabi: She's got a LOOOOONG face, but she can sing xD *bases decisions on looks too*
6 Saki Shimizu: She's just weird xD
7 Sudou Maasa: She just gets on my nerves when I look at her xD
C-ute:
1 KANNANAAAA! She's just epic xD She never gets solo lines, but she's adorable~
2 Okai: ^same situation as above
3 MaiMai is kewl But she kinda seems like 'D<' cause she became famous so young, so it pushes her down a notch.
4 Erika has an annoying voice xD But she's really pretty~~
5 Saki's ugly D: That's why she's down there >.>;;
6 Maimi's got an annoying voice but she STILL gets lyrics D:
7 Suzuki always gets 90% of all lines. Sometimes she requires 92%. And occasionally, THE ENTIRE SONG.
Recently my blog posts have been mostly about H!P kids and their groups, I've noticed, or even just H!P as a whole (Sure, I'm still in single digit blog posts, but hey. Gimme a break D:) So this one is being given to Morning Musume, H!P's flagship.
Their 36th single was announced in mid January, I think, and was untitled, then pushed back to April from its release date in late March, now, about a month later, it's been named. It's called Resonant Blue. I've got the feeling that it'll be a ballad, and that lyrics will be distributed fairly (I'm thinking that NiiNii might have more than one rushed line. And Junjun too!) And I feel like it'll sell better.
I really can't wait for the radio rip, at least. Then the PV. Then the download, of course. But, I feel like it's going to be good. Like, epic. Not necessarily a LOVE Machine or anything to start the golden age, but maybe enough to get them out of a slump.
It's Feb 10 over in Japan right now. So Haromoni@ will start in about an hour (it's 10:00a.m. over there). And this episode is going to be epic for fans everywhere. Because AmerikaJinMusume, a dancer on Youtube who specializes in H!P songs, will be appearing as a part of the Moutube series that they have going on right now. They filmed her specifically for Haromoni@. So that's pretty epic xD I'm really looking forward to seeing that episode, even raw! With subs would be even better~
So that's all I have to say.
And, it was 10 in Japan when I started writing this, but I had to leave for dinner, and then i finished it now D: So don't yell at me xD
