HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY MAI-CHAN! ( and Maimi )

I would've said this earlier, but I didn't get the chance to use the computer much so yeahs.

OTANJOUBI OMEDETOOOOOOOOU.

I think Mai's really grown up a lot since she came into H!P. I mean, seriously. I think she's the one who's grown the most in 8 years in the show business. She was beyond adorable when she joined, and now she's gorgeous. ( but still adorable. ) I LOVE YOU MAIMAI! Happy 14th birthday to you! *heart*

Happy birthday to Maimi too ~

Happy belated birthday to Nakky too!

~ Miu

Let's have a look.

I've seen the blurry preview before, so I can't say I was very excited...my friend told me that I'd ruined the surprise. LOL, and what's the surprise? You can pretty much suss out from the cover what the PV would be like. ( nothing interesting. )

I think the best part of this is that the girls looked absolutely stunning. ( no comment for Aika though. ) Especially Gaki <3 ( long hair gaki <33 ) No Koharu though...bummer. I really would've liked to seen Koha in this kind of PV, for some reason. But that's okay, Gaki is enough for me ~ Ai looked quite good too, and so did Kamei. Linlin's expression is kinda weird though...

Nothing interesting here, just a simple PV about them going on the runway and stuff. ( i thought you were supposed to have noticeably different outfits on a runway... ) Make up scenes, posing, and the like. Tsunku probably thinks it's okay for the girls to do practically nothing but dance as long as they look beautiful. ( which is true, sometimes. )

Song doesn't do much for me either. It's not a bad one, but not something that would go in my Top 20, or even Top 50. So better luck next time, MM. But anyway, it was a huge improvement from butt princesses.

Cappies!

STILL reminds me of Iroppoi Jirettai.

Linlin is already making me go LOL. I'm not a Linlin hater okay D:

If I were a guy, I would've probably gone *nosebleed*. Beautiful Gaki is beautiful ~

Bird nest hats should be outlawed.

The random title in the middle of the PV that made me go LOLWUT.

Aika's hair could be a headpiece itself.

Ga-ga-ga-ki! ( gawsh that's horrendous. )

Still looks weird to me :O

That must have been somewhat awkward...

So just an okay PV to me...bonus for gorgeous Gaki and the others ~ Heehee.

And just for fun...

Song: 6/10

PV: 7/10

Outfits: 5/10 ( looks like the costumes they don at concerts. )

Dance: 5/10 ( didn't really pay much attention to it... )

Bishoujo quality ( LOL ): 8/10 ( minus 2 for *guess who* and *guess who* ;D )

Hoho :D

So...what do you guys think?

To be blunt, the PV almost made me fall asleep. The song is nice, granted, but there's something about Manoeri's voice that reminds me of old grannies singing babies to sleep. A lullaby-ish voice. Yeah. That's it. The PV didn't help much either. I got a bit bored after the first minute or so, and then I just went on to skip parts of it, and found myself looking at almost the exact same frames as before. Mano doesn't exactly get the most interesting PVs, does she? Must be tough being a soloist...

And they changed the back up singers too. No more S/mileage. At least Akari's one of them, though I dare say she deserves better than being one of Mano's dancers. ( hint hint, Tsunku. )

To sum it up...I can't exactly say this one was a disappointment, cos in the first place I wasn't expecting much. They should really jazz up her career :o

Previews for Otakebi Boy WAO and Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda!

This is the type of song that would get the EPIC label. I can really feel the power in the girls' voices, so much so that I can't really recognise the girls' voices. ( ehehe. ) The WAO o-WAO WAOs are catchy though.

I really like this song :D I think it's nicer than Otakebi Boy WAO ~ Hehe. It's sweet, and a really light-hearted song that I love. I can't wait to see the PV for this ~

~ Miu

Annnnnd it's out!

All I can say is LOL @ Momo's shirt.

XD

Okay, so that's not all I want to say. Airi is beautiful. Miya's hair extensions are gorgeous. I don't like Momo's puffed up hair. But other than that, they're lovely :) Plus the outfits are cool too. Seriously, whoever design Momo's outfit is going to get sacked once someone in H!P learns English vulgarities. ( Or maybe it was Tsunku's idea. You never know. ) Airi is love as usual <3

The song's nice, and so is the PV. Buono's just the type of group that doesn't need any weird plot in their PVs to look awesome. They can just do a dance shot for all I care and I'll still love it.

~ Miu

And here's the blurry preview of Onna ga etc's PV. It kinda reminds me of Iroppoi Jirettai for some reason...it's the fluffy outfits and the dark background. I think it's relatively fine, compared to the cowgirl / butt princess PV. ( gaki looks hot ) But I kept getting distracted by the ridiculously large white headpieces...why does H!P always force these oversized thingamabobs on the girls' heads? Honestly. And it's not even a cute big bow or anything. As far as I can see it's just a clump of flowery mesh.

But anyways...looks good so far. Can't wait till the PVs up!

Oh and y'know...I think I'm spending too much on H!P stuffs. My friends on the Singapore H!P forum thread keep offering to order stuff online for us from the H!P store, and I keep joining in -_- I told myself not to spend too much but...I can't.

*gloom*

Ohwells.

What is it about AKB fans? Okay, I shouldn't be all general about it. What is it about a certain AKB fan who is supposedly my friend and then starts insulting H!P when she knows I'm a H!P fan? Gawsh.

H!P is H!P, and AKB is AKB. They're not associated with each other, and I know some people like to say that they're sorta rivals and stuff. And I don't hate AKB, I really don't. I'm just loyal to H!P. And I appreciate fans who stick to their favourites, but seriously? Lashing out at other groups is so not cool.

I love H!P, and she thinks I'm being stupid for that. She says that H!P is getting worse year by year, and that AKB48 is 'H!P but better and more beautiful'. Okay, so last year wasn't exactly H!P's best year ( or rather MM, according to Kishiko XD ), but to slam it in front of me is way too much. Comparing H!P to AKB48 is fine, but actually insulting it and the fan is not. I think H!P could beat AKB any day, but I would never say it to an akb's fan face. I actually respect what they like, unlike this so-called friend of mine. AND SHE CALLED MAI DISGUSTING.

*explodes*

Enough ranting.

~ Miu

P.S. Sorry for returning with this kinda post, Kishiko D:

I'VE GOT THE GOODS.

Yesterday I went out on an outing with a bunch of other H!P fans in Singapore ( 10:3 ratio of guys to girls ), and guess what? I got to collect all the stuffs that they helped me to buy. Mai photocard, Mai photocard, Airi photocard, Mai photocard, Airi photocard, Bravo! Bravo! CD, Everyday Zekkouchou CD, Kono Mune no Tokimeki o CD.

I am sooooooooooooooo happy! Seriously, I've never had so much H!P stuffs before. Seriously. Ever.

Can you see how happy I am?

CANYOU-CANYOU-CANYOU-CANYOU-CANYOU-CANYOU-CANYOU-*boom*

I know I sound like a noob. Because everytime I see friends and other bloggers having ten times the size of my own mini collection, but I think this is quite a big achievement for me. Considering I'm a student with absolutely no cash on me whatsoever. ( well done me. ) Haha ~

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I really love the Bravo Bravo one the best. It's so awesome ~ Plus it came with one of those cards. The cute little ones. So yay :)

But y'know my friend keeps saying that I'm wasting my money. Sheesh. I'm not pissed off or anything, but it's kinda annoying. This isn't wasting money is it? It's not if I'm a huge fan of them. And besides, the K-Poppy friends that I have are even worse than me. I don't really think this is wasting money, not if I'd really use it.

~ Miu

It's out!

Me likey :)

This is on par with Bravo! Bravo!, it has to be. It's just awesome. Or should I say, totally Buono. For some reason it reminds me of co no mi chi, but then the song sounds a bit like Bravo! Bravo!. ( all those raging instrumentals. ) I love it already ~ The outfits are cool too, except maybe Miyabi's is a little weird. Score for Airi!

And then, we have Guardians 4. Here's the preview of Going On! ~

Uh...nothing much to say. I guess I'm just neutral with this one. BUT I HATE THEIR OUTFITS. Gawsh I wish they could just skip yellow.

~ Miu

I'M BACK TO SCHOOL.

*bangs head*

Aw man D: I can't stand going to school. And I'm in a new class separated from one of my best friends, I miss her D: AND I HATE MY TEACHERS GAWSH. She's been my teacher for the past two years. It's like she's stalking me.

Anyways.

The full PV for Suki-chan, S'mileage's 3rd indie single is out ~

Okay. So.

Firstly...Party Time much? The dance shot set is almost exactly like the one that Guardians 4 had in Party Time. And I think it suited them a lot better. But y'know, it's still better than green screens. There's the effort ~ So yeahs, I'm neutral on this part.

The song itself is so-so, too chirpy but sweet at the same time. I like their voices cos I think they sound cute :D I'm not sure if it's just me, but I keep thinking that their voices sound the same. I love Yuukarin and Dawa XD I don't like Saki all that much cos I think her face looks old. And I just realised that Kanon's teeth aren't straight. ( don't hit me. )

Anyways...I did waste some time on caps.

party time, party time, i'm seeing another ( tacky ) party time.

yuuka's cute round face ~ the mole beauty mark's kinda distracting though.

the formation's kinda weird...yuuka's sticking out.

is sewing considered cute? kanon reminds me of one of those old ladies in wartime who sat in a parlour sewing all day.

I SAW THIS DANCE MOVE IN SHOCK.

I guess...that's about it? I think this is a fairly done PV. Quite a bit of effort made, nice outfits, not too simple. Girls look cute and natural ~

I think I'm starting to like S/mileage more...
