42 songs♪♪~, three discs, and a 100 page all photo booklet come housed in a sturdy outer slip case and everything is *wonderfully* decorated with all Momusu members....past and present to make up one of the most impressively packaged releases that H!P has yet released~.
While this LE is sold out at Cdjapan, happily it's still available to order at YesAsia~...koko ni click~! to order. ^ ^
While the lyrics booklet contains only one photo (scanned above), the LE's 100 page red booklet is completely filled with color photos all playfully combining the current lineup w/ all members of the past~ through solo photo shoots...group shots....a very cool and impressive time line of when each member joined as well as a complete single cover discography~. And the best part is that the LE's photo booklet is a hard cover edition~!....very much like how H!P's "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL" LE first pressing single's hard cover booklet was designed~!...making this LE I think a must have for this reason alone!!
I love how UFI decided to use one of the earliest photos available for each member's picture on the outer slip case...while the lyrics booklet does the complete opposite showing each member in their latter or current appearance which is quite a *sweet* touch~.
And talk about *natsukashii~* o(*´∀`)o゛♥~。。。as listening♪♪~ to each of these three discs in succession brings back so many memories~ and it puts a great twist on just listening to the main title tracks as one perhaps may tend to do?
B-sides have always somehow had a very special place in my heart♥~...in that it just seems that so often I find myself loving these coupling with songs either equally or at times even more than their title tracks~....
...so while it would be painfully odd for you to want to read them all, I've just listed my most favorite♥ coupling with songs♪♪~ here...."ai no tane", "Happy Night", "Never Forget", "Inspiration!", "Dekkai uchuu ni ai ga aru", "Popcorn Love!", "Jun Lover", "Never Forget (Rock Ver.), "Koi ING", "Fine Emotion!", "Love & Peace! HERO ga yatte kita", "Watashi ga tsuiteru" and "Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai Jan!" Um...I could keep listing them but those are just the very top for me in Momusu b-sides~. ^ ^
I apologize so much for my poor scanning as some of these aren't quite straight (ノロ≦。)!as I was so trying not to harm the booklet's spine and adhesives for the pages~.......but somehow I did manage to scan the entire hard cover booklet just below ↓↓↓。。。just to give you a clear idea of what to expect if you do decide to order this complete coupling with collection~....very highly recommended!! \(^o^)/☆ Love all of these photos so much!!....
The initial details mention modeling as Kohachan's possible post H!P career of choice but with this announcement's abruptness coupled with the fact that Kohachan is no where near to be a so called "next in line" to graduate member with her time in the group not being very long just yet and with numerous fellow members ahead of her in this regard, this really gives me a feeling that she's being in a sense forced out? Further there have been sources saying that her mood as of late hasn't been much of her genki self~ (;_;).
However much like Erikachan's recent decision to pursue modeling as her career choice and thus leave H!P perhaps this is much in the same....I'm just feeling a bit uneasy about this announcement though....and while Erikachan's decision was clearly of her own doing, this has much more the feeling of an offiicial UFI decision and just the manner in which it was announced by Tsunku seems so different. Surely Kohachan could pursue modeling outside of H!P while still being in it I would think?...but more importantly and regardless of what may have brought about this decision, it's truly much more about what will be missed and lost when Kohachan♥ departs from H!P on December 6th~.
Being labeled right from the very beginning by Tsunku as the *miracle* girl~ surely has caused rifts amongst fans and really during this past now decade + of me growing up along with Momusu I've just never witnessed any other member in H!P being on such opposite ends of the spectrum as viewed through H!P fans eyes. In large there seems to be an either overwhelming love of Kohachan or overwhelming dislike of Kohachan but very little middle of the fence sentiments. Truly every individual has every right to be very passionate about groups/artists they love and one such passion surely could lead to there being much *adored* artists and that those members that fans just don't connect to for various reasons....and in that light Kohachan has spent so much of her time in Momusu/H!P being deeply scrutinized. Again I think Tsunku's labeling of Kohachan with such a title as the "miracle" girl really set a flame to create such disparity and I think even a few personal conceptions may have been different had she just been Gen. 7~ as this surely set expectations so much higher for Kohachan.
During these past four years in Hello! Project Kohachan really did live up to much of Tsunku's hype though with her being at one point H!P's youngest soloist to debut, all of her accomplishments as a seiyuu♥ as well as her much busy schedule as I can only imagine must have been so hectic with Kohachan being active in so many other group releases outside of her work in Momusu~. Through it all I think Kohachan *shined* so much and while she may not have been one of H!P's stronger vocalists.....I don't think anyone can question her 110% effort which is always evident whether it be in live performances, her in studio seiyuu work, appearances on variety programs or fan events~. And in the end that's all one really can do if they're dedicated enough....is to give it their all~ and Kohachan always did just that....give it her all~. I think back to being able to watch Momusu appearing at her school for the special announcement...that she had just won the Gen.7 audition as was was now the new sole member of that generation.....how *amazing* it was to see her expression and reaction o(*´∀`)o゛ on that day~ and to have it occur in front of her fellow classmates just so heartwarming♥~. How Tsunku personally visited her home and met with her parents and followed up with a personal tutoring in voice lessons all done to Momusu's *beloved* classic "Furusato".....time goes by so quickly~(´⌒`。)....I think now I'll rewatch some of this....just to remember the beginnings of what she brought to Momusu and H!P.
And what will be missed?....and lost?..when Kohachan does leave on December 6th? An irreplaceable uniqueness, energy and genkiness♥ that's truly unmatched in the whole of H!P at this moment.....which leads to group dynamics and how Momusu will be weaker for this in her absence~. Kohachan always brought a higher level of joy to whatever the occassion and it never really mattered, it's just her natural glow and *personality* which always beams so much that you can't but help notice her always~. And this is just the surface of what will be lost on that day. (;_;).
I just try to imagine what it would be like to have such a *wonderful* opportunity to be an idol..a member of such an amazing group! (*´∀`*)♪♪~ And think of how you would be there while so nervous and full of butterflies and yet always trying to do your very best...wanting to be *endeared* by fans and wanting to accomplish so much~. I imagine that anyone in this very opportunity would be so subceptible to outside criticism or worse...words that can be hurtful. It may be that with how the world's ability to instantly communicate...through various avenues like twitter...facebook somehow we've become much too desensitized with our words at just how easy it is to reach anyone~. But truly words can and always will have the ability to be so very hurtful (;´□`) no matter the means in which they're presented and in this sense I feel Kohachan has endured so much over these four years spent in the spotlight with so many awful comments aimed at her from what I've seen.....and in a sense sometimes when there's nothing nice to say about a person maybe it would be nicer for those words to be left unsaid...at least not in a public forum as we're all human and capable of one thing for sure, and that is hurt. And you just never know who may be reading ( ┰_┰).
(.....now watching Momusu's "Aruiteru" pv...I've just always thought that Kohachan♥ was so *genki* in her solo parts while walking and her enthusiasm so *cute* and lively......I just need to watch something to help *cheer* me up (+_+).)
I'll miss you so much Kohachan♥.....I *wish* for you the very best as you so deserve it~.^ ^
....and wasn't able to attend this year's Anime Expo in L.A. where Momusu headlined as the guest of honor~! You still can catch some of the expo's experiences by hearing a complete recording of Morning Musume's Q&A panel which occurred on Friday.....here's a link to Henkka's most *wonderfully* written blog where you can find their Q&A experience. Very clear audio too~! Henkka leads into the event's highlights perfectly....check it out! ^ ^
*Cereal* officially has a best friend once again. o(*´∀`)o゛♥..........
...and why does the line you choose to stand in at the supermarket always inevitably seem to take the longest? (price check? (・_・) )...what exactly is a "body pillow" supposed to be for?…(^q^).....was I hooked on dial up for much too long? :P.......could I really ever be happy enough to appear in one of those "Windows Mojave" video clips?......why does *popcorn* always taste better w/ friends & a movie?........how old is Keith Richards really??? (・c_・;)?.....and will he actually outlive everyone including the cockroaches...eww!!.....and what is "phenylketonurics?" which is said to contain "Phenylalanine"..maybe I should call 1-800 WRIGLEY to find out. (。ーωー。) ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪~...as it seems to be in everything that's sugar free.......and why don't psychics win the lottery all the time?..or attend horse races where lots can be won? (Lady Cleo anyone? XD)....and if man evolved from apes, why are there still apes?....what exactly is Grimace anyway? O_o......and why does Tarzan not have a beard?..does he secretly shave with three blades or four? (Gillette should contact him asap~!).......why isn't H!P/Momusu available on blu-ray?......why can't Big Papi hit the ball anymore?.........and if salmon isn't actually salmon colored before we color it to make it pretty, why is it called salmon?.....when will the $ stop sinking?!! (;´□`).....and would a guy really trade his girlfriend for a couple of BK Star Trek glasses? ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。...surely this cannot be...ne~.
Oh and before I forget here are scans of Aichan & Gakisan's UFI photos which came with the Platinum 9 T-shirt sets.....I wonder if I could send Roger Federer one of these cute wristbands to wish him *luck* at Roland Garros? =).......................something tells me that I maybe should watch more Arashi concerts more often. :P
Both Aichan & Gakisan are soooooo *adorable* in these photos! ("fight!! photos always get to me! ♥~)...and photo sets which accompany merchandise which the members are either wearing or holding in them seems to make them a bit more warm and *fuzzy* it seems~. XD
Ichii Sayaka "kaasan" had just departed the group....the group lineup in the following clips are the "Happy Summer Wedding" group so Gen.4 was brand new with Tsuji/Kago (yet to be nicknamed Nono/Aibon) being sooooo *adorable* here and of course there's a very cute Yossi & Rikachan rounding out the rookies of the group~. =)
Finding and collecting t.v. show clips back then was absolutely nothing like it is today....with the internet not yet being the amazing file sharing land that it has grown into in time, if you lived outside of Japan then finding clips on your own was really a case of exploring the shelves of your local Japanese video store and hoping to find the most recent t.v. shows there amongst the rows and rows of VHS tapes~. And if you were lucky the quality would be sort of decent on some accounts but for the most part you'd end up with at least a bit of graininess to cope with when you returned home with your newly found *treasures* to watch~. After all we're weren't yet capable of home DVD transfers of video so being digital was out of the question as of yet. (Gomen ne~...the caps and video clips are on the *fuzzier* side due to the VHS source tape.) So I was watching some old tapes during this past week and I came across some priceless old Utaban clips which I haven't viewed in what seems like ages so it was time to make sure that the VCR was still alive and.....wallah~!.............
...It all seems so innocent really, we have Nakaikun with his erm buzzer thingie~................
..............which when *buzzed* then alerts a calm and thoughtful Taka-san to turn on a member's air tank thus filling balloons up to dimensions they were never intended for....XD.......well.........
.............he's sort of innocent and calm looking......
.......until "provoked!!" (゜Д゜;)!!.......and about those balloons..I almost forgot to mention...
...they're clipped on to each member of the group…(^q^) Here Rikachan after finding herself "speechless" in trying to remember the word order gets a bit of Taka-san's "air" love♥~. XD
Wait...I'm getting a bit ahead here as the "game" being played involves word memorization set to a specific theme which changes after a member is unable to come up with the right words in the correct order in which they are spoken......thus the over inflated balloon~. :o For example if the given theme were to be something like "things you find in a bento box...", the first member (from left to right the order then circles back to member on the left..on and on until a mistake is made or a member is unable to think of a word which fits the criteria) could say "salmon"..the next member would then have to say "salmon" and then add her item and on down the line as the chain of words keeps growing longer and longer making it more difficult to remember the correct order or come up with one's own new words to add!~. :o
From the very start though a few things seem to be amiss.....however as we know this is Utaban so they're rather definitely by design! :P Such as Yukosan's (*sigh* I miss Yukosan so much!...I think she was the best leader Momusu ever had...o(*´∀`)o゛♥) having a slight issue with her positioning in the seat arrangement and the producers of Utaban....XD.....
....and then there's the un-inflated balloons themselves which as noted by Kaorin and Gomaki ("Gocchin"...she always had the cutest nicknames! with the former one reminding me of a Gotou "sush roll" if such a thing exists =) ) have something in them?!! (*´艸`)!!
And even after exploding once (here Yukosan's explodes all on its own mysteriously! :o ) these balloons which are "affectionately" called "doubles" by Nakaikun & Taka-san continue to be inflated with a second life all their own~. (・д・`*)!!!.........
.....with some reaching freakishly huge sizes!!! Note the usual suspects which Utaban routinely loves to "torture"!!....Kaorin, Yukosan, Keisan and well they tried Gocchin from the very beginning although that didn't seem to last very long as she would later have none of it!!! XD Hmmm..funny when some balloons are capable of reaching much greater heights of abomination~! than others…(^q^)
After transferring VHS to DVD I've uploaded this Utaban gem below ^ ^.....I apologize again for the lesser quality and I needed to divide the original 30 minute clip into 3 parts here due to the giant size of the file which I don't think YouTube would accept as a single upload..gomen ne~)............
So sit back.....relax......and enjoy all of the wild balloon madness which only a show like Utaban is truly capable of bringing into our living rooms on a regular basis week after week! \(^o^)/☆ Some fun things to take note of while watching these 3 clips are: When asked to present "good" adjectives about Taka-san ("良所") "iitokoro", Yuko lets out a gasp of "EHHH?!!" and hilarity ensues! / "Super Slow" mo footage is just hilarious and their voices sound low growls!…(^q^) / Yossi has the funniest expression when her balloon is heading towards inevitable explosion! / each member's air tank has their name written upon it...how ♥sweet♥! XD / Gocchin's, Kaorin's & Yuko's balloons become unspeakably large!!! / a great nostalgic performance of "Happy Summer Wedding"!!! / the "Johnson" nickname is already in regular use!!..to unlock the mysteries to Kaorin's *special* nickname visit here. =) / both Nakaikun and Takasan have a soft spot for Tsuji ('Nono") which rears itself to the dismay of her fellow members XD / Gocchin loses a sandal! / Kaorin names an entire continent when the theme was asking for "countries" instead! :P / Special balloons are known as "doubles" ♥♥♥~ / Taka-san remarks on there...."being more room" in those very *special* balloons* when they haven't yet reached their bursting point! / Tsuji ("Nono") does the sweetest thing when Gocchin's balloon is about to explode by trying her best to hold it away from Gocchin...awww this was really the sweetest!!~ (note: when asked by Nakaikun what she was doing afterwards she replies..."fuseideta" which means to "protect;defend" o(*´∀`)o゛♥) / Yuko's chair gets further and further away whenever a fellow member is having a bit of difficulty in remembering the order of words or coming up with a new one XD / Gocchin is definitely the most terrified of oversized balloons....but really who wouldn't be! :P Still her reactions are the truest of them all alongside Johnson's & Yuko's of course!~
Just be sure to beware of Taka-san's......um actions after Gocchin's exploding balloon as I'm not entirely sure of what exactly he's doing here........(・c_・;)?And something tells me that I so don't want to know!! (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ
So now here's "Fuusen wari kokon touzai game!!" on Utaban...............
All three covers boast such *beautiful* photography and what makes each stunning in their own right is the unique approach taken...with a close up portrait (RE)..jumping shot (LE type B)..and the most picturesque being LE type A's golden jungle gym set~. Everyone!! just looks so gorgeous in this release!!! =) And on a very encouraging note as this hasn't been the case recently....but "Shouganai yumeoibito"'s LE type A is already sold out at Cdjapan.....which may be a great indication that their sales will be great perhaps and I really do *hope* so as this single would be so deserving to chart highly~! It was just released yesterday (Japan time) and is already out of print?!!....really really amazing I think!! \(^o^)/☆
Morning Musume's "Shouganai yumeoibito" LE type B can be ordered here at Cdjapan. (note: LE type A is out of print at Cdjapan.)
Morning Musume's "Shouganai yumeoibito" RE can be ordered here at Cdjapan. (note: first pressing is out of print)
Both LE's include an additional DVD with type A providing fans with a "Dance Shot Ver." while type B includes a "Close-up ver." of the title track's pv. And with no jacket shooting or behind the scenes footage expect lots to appear on their still to be released pv DVD single which is set for a May 20th release~.
"Shouganai yumeoibito"'s close-up version of its pv is a bit more interesting than some of its predecessors in that the distance and camera angles are varied throughout and even if slightly done so it gives its overall appeal more personality in a sense~. There's a definite melancoly captured here in both expression and shades....and appropriately so as to match the very essence of the song itself. Not your usual genki Musume~...but I really love how emotions of the lyrics are conveyed here utilizing just profiles and the overall moodyness of their appearance~.
.......(*sigh*..)..Tackey's new single is currently at a nearby post office waiting for me as it didn't fit into our mail lock boxes so I'm thinking there's a poster maybe in there?....I forgot what the first press bonus was...:P...surely it must be a poster to not fit~. =)
....Can't wait to hear Momusu's latest single too~!....this is such a *pretty* photo shoot here! ^ ^
With Hello!Blog's recent all member poll (I have Paul Thomas' very first personal Momusu member ranking later in this post from March 2007 via e-mail) I later realized the errors of my ways in the way in which I approached the poll as my *feelings* for members were sought after in more of confined state rather than in a larger and much broader vision which so should have been my approach (´⌒`。). For sure if I had a redo, Yukosan without question as well as other elder members would have ranked very high and with Yukosan in particular, she will forever be the everlasting model of what mentoring with an iron fist is all about! XD Her approach to the newer generations were always as an elder would look upon the "youth of today" so to speak often with hilarious and priceless results! =) And while Hello! Project may or may not see such a premium show and premium showcase for their members such as the wonderous Hello! Morning ever again it will forever represent all that is possible with the right idols, producers, writers, creativity, timing and yes~.....wacky batsu games!!!! ( ̄▽ ̄)♥
But getting back to the all inclusive H!P member list....the all time list.....Hello!Blog's top 10....I have failed..(´⌒`。).....so I took a bit of a trip down memory lane after the Elder's Club fan messages below in taking a look at how my favorite member lists evolved over the years, but while I've been a fan since February 1998 when I ordered "Morning Coffee" as a "blind" purchase not knowing them yet but being hooked ever since~!...my earliest favorite member list was written on October 25th, 2002....and then I've included a couple of favorite H!P song lists from awhile back.
And now...here for one last time as H!P members, the Elder's Club sends fans worldwide their thanks and love~...
~Surely if these were re-written today there would be changes.....with Nono & Konkon being much higher, but as these lists represent moments in time forever frozen, doing so would completely defeat the purpose of these recollections.~ Familiarity with members also comes into play as I lived through the debut and growth of the entire H!P and Momusu in real time from early 1998 being able to watch them grow individually as girls, idols, performers and professionals.....so some of the then newer members definitely would rank higher or differently today in hindsight. =)

Aichan moves to #1 after Nacchi's graduation from Momusu.... and the reign of Kamei nears as she moves from 12th to 5th........... XD But the reign of Aichan would last for many seasons with Rikachan always nearby. In some ways I've forgotten how I felt about each member individually back then and this is now just refreshing my memory to its fullest. =)

And shortly after I would meet Paul Thomas at Hello!Blog and here's his first list that I believe he sent to me via e-mail back then........before the arrival of his amazing member polls~!
Paul Thomas' Momusu ranking is just below....I think it was his first. Paul please correct me if my recollection of this being your very first Momusu favorite members list is not your first. :P

From here I think I posted just one more Momusu favorite members list before using Hello!Blog's polls instead, but at the moment I can't seem to locate it on my blog (>_<); .......and on October 8th, 2007 Kamei would take over my #1 ranking with Aichan moving to #2. And the rest of my member lists are documented as Hello!Blog polls from Paul's wonderful site with beautiful graphics always~.
Morning Musume song favorites (10/20/2002)
As you'll notice there are songs included which aren't Momusu songs as the general rule of thumb would be to be able to include H!P songs outside of Momusu as long as a member in that group or unit who released the song was at one time a member of Momusu...current or past. Again these lists would most likely look different had I done them today but for these moments frozen in time here they are forever preserved to look back on....... ^ ^

Kindai also presents its readers with everything from male/female eyecandy to interviews, drama previews, in depth interviews with your favorite idols, general idol news, glossy pull outs, occasional stickers!....and lots of more content!!
For the May issue I scanned the features for C-ute, Momusu, Kohachan, Berryz Koubou, Manoeri, cute Nino♥!, gorgeous Matsujun♥!, always adorable Ueto Aya, Aibakun! and Ishihara Satoko.
The Johnny's boys are featured in articles presenting their new spring dramas with Nino in TBS's "DOOR TO DOOR"....Matsujun in TBS's "Smile".....and Aibakun in "Green Fingers"....hmm here we call it having a green thumb. =) Seeing C-ute with a 6 member lineup reminds me sadly of Kannachan's hiatus from the group due to bunion......omg that looks so awfully painful (´⌒`。). Get well soon Kannachan~! C-ute just isn't C-ute without you~! I wanted to include a partial translation of Manoeri's question & answer and I may have that up a bit later time allowing. Ueto Aya always looks so amazing and I love her CM spot being highlighted in her pictorial........but really next to Matsujun always looking so handsome in "Smile" I'm really liking C-ute in their feature....so adorable as they continue to grow into young ladies........Maimichan is already there! But then I'm sad again thinking of Kannachan's absence.....(;´□`). Get well soon Kannachan.....I'm sure all C-ute fans miss you so much~. ^ ^
Comments
is c-ute a band?
Haha Jun Kun X3 So cute<3
Do you buy this Magazine online? >.<
Yes Alezra, there are websites you can get Japanese magazines from like Amazon Japan and Cdjapan. Cdjapan offers subscriptions and Amazon offers single issues.
Amazon Japan: http://tinyurl.com/kindaiC-ute is one of the "Wonderful Hearts" groups in Hello! Project.....but
sadly one member is away for awhile (Kannachan) so only six are
pictured in this issue (;_;). One of my favorite C-ute songs is "FOREVER LOVE."
♥~Matsujun~♥!! o(*´∀`)o゛ We have a store here that accepts subscriptions for Japanese magazines and since my brother already subscribes from them I've asked to have Kindai added on to his orders. Shipping is always so expensive though! :o I've also looked at subscriptions and orders from Cdjapan and Amazonjapan but I think they cost a bit more if I ordered through them instead although I just noticed that Cdjapan has reduced their shipping charges for every type of shipping at their site. ^ ^
Each year Paul Thomas at Hello!Blog is even more and more creative with his poll's design....this year's one being one of the most amazing yet!! It's still available to take until the 10th of this month here. ^ ^ Judging by the amount of votes this year that Paul has received so far, the results should quite reflective of the fan consensus outside of Japan as well an within as I believe he mentioned that his poll was linked in Japan as well. =) In any case I think it'll be more of the international fanbase being heard here...I can't wait to see the final results and I'm just hoping that perhaps a few of my favorites will show up~. (*´∀`*)♪♪
This was sooooooooooo difficult to complete! (・c_・;)?...as I repeatedly scrolled back and forth through the member choices. It was quite unprecedented for me to need to choose between all of H!P including their 3 "flagship groups", active Eggs, soloist and the entire Elder's club which sadly just officially graduated at the end of last month. (´⌒`。)
So in this sense this is also somewhat of a farewell poll as the Elder's Club has graduated and UFA looks to be headed in much more "idol/youth" direction.
My top 5 choices were somewhat easier choices than the final 5 which had me wanting repeatedly to add in Yukosan, Manoeri, Shibata Ayumi, Nakki, Airiin, Miya, Junjun.....and lol I should now stop before I name everyone in the poll…(^q^)
Let's see.....Nacchi for helping to put this all together, what we now know as H!P.....Kamei for her awesome cuddly quirkiness!~♥......Aichan for her upmost professionalism, vocals and role model qualities~.........Maimichan for being soooo beatiful!!.....(okay not really having any deep thoughts right now but I didn't want to cause sleepiness from my otherwise over indulgence in reasoning :P )........Ayaya for the best vocals in H!P (she'll be missed so much (;´□`) ).....Momo for being so adorable and so full of helium, may your voice always remain so cute!......Riichan for always making me smile and yes! that little button nose of hers =)......Gakisan for always being so wonderfully honest and *real*, think "Mechaike bakajo" test & her interesting ideas on an amusement park family getaway as shared on Music Figher~......Nocchi for being the cutest Egg who need so much more attention please! =)........and lastly Kohachan, for without you Momusu/H!P would be so much less energized, ♥~frantically hyper~♥......and my goodness, how else would we sell all of this Red Bull? o(*´∀`)o゛Comments
ah, so lovely to have you back online! sun is shining after all.
by the way, my Top-10 looks like this.
You scared me sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much~! :D So happy to see you again :3 I have to say, it's much nicer knowing you're still here :]
:O Where's Airi? :P This is the first time I've taken one of Pauls polls, and it was hard..... very difficult to just pick 10 out of everyone...... here's mine, feel like sharing :DAbe #1 :D
As for Arisa, I've not really seen a lot of her. I just watched her version of Come Together tho, she's so cute and animated.
Anyway, interesting picks. :)
I'm so happy to see you again!
I don't comment to much because this semester I'm graduating and I don't have much time, but really
really really love your posts! To say the truth you were one of the
reasons that I got into jpop <3
thanks for returning!
Welcome back Miss Berryz.
:D But how am I suppose to call you now? Still MB? ^^
Nacchi first! Well that wasn't exactly a surprise! XD Anyway I'm thinking if I do this too... Posting the results from Paul's poll is so popular so maybe I should too. :) It was REALLY hard to choose for me too for after a few first ones...!
MB,You're finally back!
I missed you so much!
http://lovelytakahashi.vox.com/library/post/pauls-supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-new-poll-1.html
I'm so glad to see you're not disappearing! *Huggles*
(And I'm happy to see that my Nocchi made it onto another top 10! :D)
No Bunny in top ten? My Shock!:D
Love&Peace
WB!! :D
You're top 10 chart is awesome!! There's so many members in yours that I wanted to select too but I just didn't have enough room in the end. :/ So happy to see Miya at #1! Wait that was for sure right?! XD And Riichan at #2....we also have Momo in common. =) I wish I could have included Manoeri and Chiichan and Airiin so much too~. Thank you Zush~ you're always so *sweet*. (*´∀`*)
Shhhhhhhh....I was in *disguise*..XD I wonder how Clark Kent gets away with it??? (・c_・;)?I mean...after all of these years his co-workers have no idea! XD I actually rarely wear glasses.....(*sigh*)...don't ask! :P I'm sorry!!!!! I was born too sensitive and I've been under attack from a friend here for the past few days (;´□`).
Oh I just had a look.......my thoughts are there. ^ ^ So true!!! this poll was the most difficult yet as everyone was in there! :o I'm still looking at mine and thinking....hmmmmmmm..... XD. I wanted to have Airiin in there so bad!!! It hurts now. :(
I always have *Nacchi* on the brain....the doctor says it's most likely incurable at this point! …(u_u*)
I hope that Nocchi receives much more attention in the future and maybe they should have included Nocchi in the new Guardian group even if it's only temporary. Whenever I watch any of the Ongaku Gatas or FC DVDs with her in them I can't help but notice how outgoing and fun her personality is....now she just needs a larger stage to show it. =) "Come Together" is awesome! \(^o^)/☆
Hi Carol....it's so wonderful that we share J-Pop ♥ in common. Thank you, your words me so much to me....ほんとに嬉しいです!
Gambatte in school ne~! (*´∀`*)
Hi SB......so funny I didn't think anyone would recognize me. :P I guess silliness is easy to spot ne~. XD
I hope you can post your results up soon~...........um I know who #1 is!!! lol okay that's not very impressive of me I know! :P I so much have *Nacchi* on the brain forever. (*´∀`*)
Haha, well, you're one of a kind so it's not hard to find out some how.
Hello~.....gomen ne. I'm so sorry that I haven't been around recently. >_<; I missed you too! I've had some friend rendered therapy recently......I need to be less sensitive I know. (;´□`)
I just had a look at your top ten H!P member choices.....my thoughts are there. =)
Ah~ Nocchi was a must!! I think she's one of the most outgoing and she possesses one of the brightest personalities too~! And she's a most *beautifully adorable* Egg! Now UFA just needs to allow Nocchi to shine more! I hope she gets into a group of her own very soon!
I've had a very good talking to from a friend recently and she's trying to toughen me up~! :o LOL I told her it's not working though....but I am trying. =)
I so wanted Bunny to be in there~! :/ I was having a most difficult time deciding.....lol I think I had that window at Paul's site open forever!…(^q^). Hmm......I wanted to shamelessly ask him to make it a top 12 instead so that Yukosan, Bunny or Manoeri could make it in too. XD
Hi maiZe!
.........and then you were thinking who in the world is that?!!!! lol. :P I guess the glasses weren't enough of a *disguise* XD. You're always way too kind to your stupid friend here! (._.;) Oh dear I was having sort of a moment when I chose the url and then I thought.....* *. XD
I'm curious to see who #2 through 10 are....=) I can't be wrong about #1 can I? (*´∀`*) I can't wait to see the overall results too~! I wondering if any of my favorites will make it into anywhere in the top choices. (・c_・;)?Hmmmm.....would "Asayake" be too strange? I don't know. :/
*Thank you*....you're much much much too kind! (*´∀`*)
When I post my rankings, let me know if you were right about #1! XD Hopefully I'll get them up either tomorrow or Friday since I have a long weekend this weekend. We get Good Friday off in Canada, and schools (elementary & high school, and some universities) get Easter Monday off as well.
You glasses are so cute! And you were having an awesome moment when choosing your url! :D
"Asayake" - is that the romanji of your new screen name? Sorry I know so little kanji. -_-; I do know the "ke" at the end. XD My Japanese classes have at least made me learn my hiragana and katakana pretty well. :D
I nearly got blinded by that infra red rays from your eyes...>.<
I didn't know that fake CK can be this powerful too..:p
I won't tell its you if you don't, or you can use the Legion's ring to wipe my memory. :)
Here's My Top 10 .
??? Fake CK?
Hey Kiddo! I just want to tell you that I refused to shave until you restarted a blog. So thank you, I am starting to look pretty shaggy! I love that you included Nocchi in your top 10. She is great! Underutilized...for sure for sure!
When all others say it's hard to make top-10 lists for me it's quite easily done. Miya, Rii and also Reina are girls those stand there in my list like those stone faces in Easter Island. Not moving anywhere, just standing there... and looking awesome. It's quite simple: If you love someone, you really love someone.
who is kasumi koharu?? she's beautiful, :'-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusumi_Koharu
wow! abe natsumi,XD
I'm glad that your "final post" is not your final post.
=O
You know, I thought it was weird that you were closing your blog. You always put a lot of effort in your previous one, and since you're not being paid, you either liked it or were just crazy. So if you ever closed it, I thought it'd be after a series of bad posts showing that you were getting tired of it, and I couldn't notice anything like that.
I'm obviously glad you're back o(^-^)o You usually post while I'm sleeping, so reading your blog and Dilbert before going to school/uni has been an habit for, I don't know, one year and something already. And then getting late if Henkka posted something too, those giant posts he always did... I didn't find anything else to read these past few days, so it's good that I don't have to anymore.
Oh, and I'll think of you as MB even if you change, it's been too long like that already. But I can still call you け if you prefer. And it would've been better if you maybe changed the blog's theme, and definitely not put up your photo, if you wanted to hide XD
Here's what my rank would be now. Most members who went down did so because I don't see them that much anymore. It's been a while since I last watched H!M... Nowadays the only contact I have with H!P is through Yaguchi Hitori (C), so Yagucchan went way up. And I found out I love Takitty after watching Q.E.D. three times, so yeah, she's there too. And Kamei, but I always knew I loved her.
Anyway, welcome back!
Squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Yay! Welcome back, sugar!!! *Hugs and Hugs and Hugs*
Whaaaaaaat...... you were in disguise? lol! I've seriously been in a generally bad mood behind this. I'm REALLY glad you decided to continue your blog?
(How in the world can someone worry about someone they don't really know?!)
Here are my results, although my favorites change like the tide. I actually went from a strong dislike of Koha-chan to her being a near favorite in a matter of weeks (since the pv for Hapi Hapi Sunday popped up on the net).
Chocobliss's Top Ten flavors of the week
I hope I did that right! Anyway, glad to see you're well. *Hugs again*
Nope. I did it wrong.
Chocobliss's Top Ten flavors of the week
Sorry...unintentional confusion...
I was referring to Clark Kent ...because of previous comments...:p
Ah~ you're so lucky to have today off!! ………(゜∀゜)………。We had an early start this morning and stupid me didn't get enough sleep once again. :P It was like I had a case of insomnia for the past two nights in a row.....funny, I have no idea how I'm still awake at this very moment. :o
Okay the glasses are somewhat gone now~!..........as the whole changing my looks thing is pretty much out the window. XD The theme now is furry stuffed friends~♥ ( ̄▽ ̄). Okay before I have a look although I don't know if you've posted your chart yet...........my intuition tells me that maiZe's top 2 would be Ayaya #1 and Miya for #2. =) Um..am I way off? lol :P At first I thought Miya would be #1 but then I remembered something.Hai~ that is the reading for that kanji as I was trying to stay with a "morning" theme.....not very subtle I know! :P It's so great that you're taking Japanese classes!! Gambatte ne~!
LOL...I have to admit that at first I was really confused too~! (・c_・;)?I was thinking "CK" also as in Chris but silly me actually made the comment earlier about the caped one! (._.;) Um.....I think I've already blown my own cover...but it's okay. =)
I just saw your rankings...thank you for sharing! ^ ^ We have two great members in common!Ahhhhh~! were you beginning to look like a handsome Chewbacca? XD Some guys look nice with a little bit of gruff but not everyone plus it can hurt too you know! (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ ....can be like rubbing up against sandpaper~! I'm still waiting for a Nocchi unit where she'll lead the Eggs......Tsunku can you hear me? XD
Kohachan really is *pretty* and she's so full of fun energy always! I hope the link Momo posted helped and yes~! Nacchi is amazing!! She'll always be my favorite even though she's graduated from Hello! Project. ^ ^
Hi T!MM!!,
Your words mean a lot to me, thank you so much. I'm *happy* to be online again with friends too~. o(*´∀`)o゛
It was really difficult and heartbreaking to leave.....hmmm my mom used to wonder why I spent so much time on my laptop especially when I should have gone to bed already on work nights when I need to wake up early the next morning. (;´□`) I'm always thinking I can finish it I can finish it!! XD Since I began blogging it's always been to share, learn and meet and make new friends. (*´∀`*) I've always been sort of a wacky writer as it's sort of like how I speak...thus the run on sentences and pauses which would drive my former English teachers bonkers I think! :o I really didn't know that you were still visiting HarimaKenji...thank you so much. ^ ^ I was sad too when Henkka stopped his blog as he wrote such wonderful posts and gave everyone such a different perspective and angle on our common loves and interests like no one else. Wow our time difference must be so far apart I imagine! Arigatou ne~. Hmmm..I'm sort of way past being subtle I imagine. :P Still this blog may be in the shadows of my previous one as it's still receiving almost the same number of visitors even though I've stopped posting there. Hopefully I can build a *happy* home here too though after awhile. =) I'm going to see your rankings now.........
......we have four awesome common members in our rankings! =) I still think that Mikitty's been one of H!P's very best vocalists next to Ayaya and Gocchin!....I so wanted to include Yukosan! Kyaaaaa! (>_<); Marippe is still the best personality that H!P has ever had I think next to Nono and a few others too....and Yay~! for Nacchi, Kamei, Aichan (still watching QED) and Ayaya! \(^o^)/☆
Hi chocobliss!! Ah~! you're so sweet♪♪ so sweet~!! LOL I've now lost the glasses for the time being.....I actually luckily don't need them....(*please* *please* always have good vision. =) ) It's like having a new home and a new start....well sort of as I'll most likely be linking back to my previous blog for references to particular artists/groups whom I've written something about previously....otherwise I may sound like a broken record here~! :P A friend here is trying desperately to toughen me up! I say 'desperately' because I'm afraid that I'm not very good at it so far but I'm really really trying to be not over sensitive and a "泣きむしな女の子" as she refers to me...(._.;).
I'm going to see your H!P favorites...thank you for linking~! ^ ^
Yay~! we have 3 common favorites! =) You have some of H!P's most wonderful and energetic personalities represented in your top 10!...with Marippe, Nono, Junjun, Momo, Maimai, Yossi.....lol I better stop as I seem to be naming everyone. XD You have really great taste.......a very diverse 10~! Thank you for sharing. (*´∀`*)
Hmmm, I don't think you're face is the kind that can hide...... MB or 朝焼け?... :D I never understood how the glasses kept Kent safe, I mean his face is kind of hard not to remember.... sort of like yours :3 Well, I hope you're OK, and it really is nice to have you back ^-^
That's why Airi is in mine.... because I couldn't imagine not having her there, and Buono! has become my favourite :D and I'm not a big fan of Elder Club *James ducks* And Eri is in my poll because of you :3 You showed me the light =] Oh, and I've just started watching QED. Soooo happy ^_^
LOL! the whole glasses thing is mysterious isn't it!! XD What made me think that it would now work here as I don't live in a comic....I only sometimes behave like I do~. :P Oh I hope that's a good thing otherwise you'll need to wash the memory of my appearance away!…(^q^) I am..thank you so much. (´∀`)
Kyaaaa! poor Elder's Club! (;゜□゜) I love Buono! so much too as they're really one of H!P's best groups all time. Ohh and I knew Airiin would be there....way up there! \(^o^)/☆ *Kamei* ………(゜∀゜)………。
I so need to watch more of QED....I only have the first three episodes so far. :/
Well, you're fast :D Wasn't expecting to hear from you so quick XD Oh, but I have to say that the glasses looked cute on you :) But so does the stuffed animal :3
You know me so well ^o^ Airi is my number one, always :3
......... I have the first episode of QED XD I shall be getting more, and soon :D
LOL okay this response is really going to *freak* you out then! XD We're rarely online at the same.......I had another photo that I was going to send you awhile back but it's rather silly so I ended up stopping myself…(^q^) The new "theme" is fluffy stuffed *friends*. =) Hmmm.....I so thought you were going to say "dorky".....XD
Ehhhhhh! Airiin is worn on your sleeve! ^ ^
I still need to watch episode 4........I'm sort of stuck right now. :/
Why yes, I am freaked out. Excuse me while I run around my room screaming *AHHHHHH* OK, I'm all good :D .___. See, now I'm curious XD Nope, not dorky, cute :3 cuuuute~! :D
Yes, I don't hide the fact that I like Airi...... I shout it proudly :D That makes me think, an Airi arm band, I might make one XD (... might not wear it, but I'll make one XD ...)
( ̄▽ ̄)...you're so funny~! I sort of can imagine you running around screaming with an Airiin headband, knee pads, wrist band and 'arm band' on at the same time! XD But now John McEnroe is chasing you because he wants his headband back this instant!…(^q^). I totally forgot about your Airiin glasses, me thinks you *need* them as you don't see me clearly. :P
Hihi! Just thought I'd let you know that I finally got my poll results up. :D
I just got done rambling on your awesome results! :P I'm now old school envious of your choices! XD Wait let me redo mines!!!....oh no Paul's poll is closed already! (;´□`) I do remember how much you love Ayaya and I was just thinking that she'd be #1 but yes! Rikachan at #2 did catch me by surprise but shes' so deserving and you reasoning says it all. =)
I so know you're making fun of me now XD...... *Runs with all his precious Airi merchandise* Bahhh, I so do see you properly...... I'm now wondering what these Airi glasses look like? XD
Um.....you *forgot* your glasses…(u_u*). Wait, I have a photo for you here.......I'll erm secretly post if for *you*. ^ ^
Lol MB. XD You're too cute! I think the results of these polls really depended on how the poller was looking at it. For me, I used this to think about my top H!P members of all time, simply because the Elder Club were graduating. If I had looked at it as my current top H!P members, Rika definitely would have been in the top 10, but I think Miya would have been number 2. Probably, Rika would have been #6 for me, if I went by current top H!P members, with Maimi jumping up to #3 (Aichan and Risa staying the same, and Hitomi moving down 1). But really, the top 10 people would have stayed the same... The order would have just been rearranged a bit...
Aside from Nacchi, Aichan and Ayaya, thinking about it now I don't think that my head was on the right way when I did these a few days ago…(u_u*). If it were truly a reflection of an all time ranking which......um it should have been :P ......there would definitely be a few changes. You had the right idea going into it....me not so much. Excuse me while I go flush myself! (>_<)
