Saki's getting a PB! Saki's getting a PB! Saki's getting a PEEEEBEEEEEEEEE ~

Yay.

But what's with the title? I know Nakky's her nickname, but...Nacky? Am I missing something here? To someone who doesn't know anything, I think they'd find it a little weird. They should've just called it Nakky D:

The rest of the C-ute members seem to be getting their PBs one by one. First Mai, then now Nakky. Will Chisa be next? D'aw, if only Erika didn't leave then she'd have a chance of getting one too ... but I guess if she joins a modelling agency she'd be treated better. Berryz seems to be similar too. Risako has one. ( duh. ) Momo has one. ( double duh. ) Yurina has one. ( one of my favourites. ) Miya has one. ( zzz. ) Chinami has one. ( too skinny. ) Even Maasa has one. ( no offence. )

WHAT HAPPENED TO CAPTAIN?!

I think Captain and Chisato are being seriously overlooked. ( and so was Ume-chan. ) Now it's down between the last two non-PB girls. Which one will get it first? I feel bad for whoever will be the last one remaining. Personally, I think Captain should have hers first. She should've had one long ago. Whoever arranges the PB is really missing out.

P.S. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF MY BLOG IS DEFORMED? Because of the videos or whatever. Since Arche has that problem, I wonder if anyone else has the same problem? Boohoohoo. TT^TT

Happy birthday Reina! ( actually, it's already 12 nov but since it's still 11 nov in other countries i might as well wish her before it's too late. ) I think Reina's really come out big since her debut in Morning Musume. I guess it's not often that you get to lead on your debut single. So yay, Reina. You're pro.

And congratulations for your new anime series thing. It's cute.

I'm heading to Melbourne tonight for my competition! Wish me luck ~ I'm going to smuggle my iPod with me on board and listen to my H!P songs while I pretend to be sleeping. I'll be back Monday night, hopefully I can go online before then.

Firstly, ManoEri's newest single. LOVE&PEACE=Paradise.

It's still not something that would be one of my favourites...but for Erina, this is pretty good. A bit too pinkish ( and I hate the pixels, it gives me that nauseating feeling that something's wrong with my computer screen. ), but otherwise sweet and girly. Good attempt, Erina. She actually looked cute with those fluffy white earmuffs! And she does look more lively than in her previous singles. However...PLEASE STOP GIVING HER THE SAME HAIRSTYLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. And by same hairstyle, I mean the same long hair and bangs. It's getting OLD. No matter how cute she looks, please change her hairstyle. Sweep it to the side, pin it up, whatever. I don't think I'd mind if they chop it off either. ( I'd like to see ManoEri with a short cut. Or maybe a pageboy cut? )

Also...I can't say I still like her voice. It's not as whiny as before, but this time it almost sounded like she was shouting her way through the song. She should really start to improve her singing.

And for my second news. C-ute is releasing a new single! It's called...SHOCK!. The title doesn't exactly sound nice ( catchy though, I'd have to say. ) but I hope the song's good. Better than the previous singles. I really think that this year C-ute hasn't really been coming out with really good singles. Last year was awesome! Except for that Lalala Shiawase crap. 2009's releases from C-ute have been somewhat bland so far. Starting from Bye Bye Bye, it's all gone a bit downhill. So I hope the next one's good. Have to wait until next year to found out. 6 Jan, to be precise.

Keeping to the single release updates, S/mileage is also releasing. Suki chan will be out by 23 Nov. Another one of their chirpy little songs, I expect.

Inspired by Arche from Jiriri Kiteru! I have to say my old rankings were pretty stupid. And lame. Because back then I just started to get to know the wonderful world of Hello! Project, so you can't blame me if they were bang out of order. Come to think of it, I remember being really confused about the Elder Club members and all that...in fact there was once when I couldn't tell the difference between Shimizu-chan and Maasa. That's how noob I was last time. Har har har.

Old rankings for Momusu.

This...is really far off from my current favourites. Last time I barely knew them, so when I did the ranking I just did it according to the prettiest to the least. Which sorta explains why Reina and Sayu are right at the front and Aika's at the back. No question for Gaki, though. I must have sub-consciously loved her all the way since back then :D As for Junjun...I liked her cos she was Chinese. Yay for Chinese pride! Haha. I didn't really like Koha, Eri, and Linlin back then cos I thought they looked a bit goofy. ( I DIDN'T MEAN IT. ) Moving on to Berryz ~

Momo's at the top. Why? Because at that time I thought she was cute, and cos she was the only one I knew back when I only knew about the Buono! in Shugo Chara's songs. After that, I kind of stumbled through the rankings, just randomly picking whoever I thought looked cute / pretty / gorgeous / attractive. Chinami was at the bottom cos I didn't like her big teeth, and Yurina was too tall and unladylike to me. ( THEY'RE BOTH LOVELY TO ME NOW. ) And in a way, my ignorance saved Maasa from being at the bottom, where she is now. Sorry D:

C-UTE! My rankings haven't really changed. And even though I only explored the cute potential of Mai, she's still my NO. 1. Yay I love her to death. No, I really do. Airi was second for looking gorgeous and being in Buono!. Saki was also in third place for being cute. The rest...I just shuffled them according to their idol quality as far as I could see. Poor Chisa got put in the bottom cos back then I couldn't stick tomboy idols. I'm sorry again.

NOW BACK TO THE PRESENT. My current rankings ~ Yaaaay.

GAKI ~ !! She's now my ultimate No. 1 Momusu ( except maybe Konkon might be close to tying with her. ) She's so pretty! And she's got those really nice big sister kinda vibes...cos the first time I saw her it was the Hello Pro Hour episode featuring Mai, and she just seems so nice ~ Haha. Okay, enough about Gaki. Junjun is second for the same reasons as the first ranking. And she's so cute! Lols. Koharu is at the top for having such a cute personality. She just shines among the Momusus, don'tcha think? Next I love Eri for being so cute and goofy. I put Reina and Sayu in the middle cos now after the initial awe wore off, they just same like the cliche idol-faces to me. Ai and Linlin are near bottom for not really having any interesting personality whatsoever. Aika is there because she just doesn't make much of an impression of me and she has an iron jaw.

I'm fine with all the Berryz, actually ~ It's just a matter of who I like more. Miyabi's all the way at the top since I lovelovelove her vocals like mad ~ She has a really good voice. Chinami is charming ( I loved her voice when she was a tiny kid ), Saki is beautiful and such a fierce dancer, Risako and Yurina are just really charming. As you can see, Momoko has been demoted quite a bit. I don't dislike her, but sometimes I get the impression that she's forever acting cute. But I don't really mind, since acting cute is pretty much part of an idol's job. As for Maasa...I don't know what to say. The lack of screen time she gets sorta has a big influence of me...

Do you see a difference? Not much. Erika and Kanna aren't here anymore though D: Sniff. I really do like Erika a lot though. She's so funny and charming, and I can really see the big sister role she plays to all of them, even though she's not the leader. Kanna never really made an impression on me, so I just put her last. Neither did Maimi, actually. Mai and Airi are at the top because they're awesome. AND I MEAN AWESOME.

Sighs so tiring.

MY FIRST H!P CD! ureshii ne ~

It's not just a C-ute CD, it's my first one ever so it's value right now is UPUPUP for me. You had no idea how happy I was when I walked into HMV and saw those rows of H!P goodness. My eyes were rolling with C-ute, Momusu, Berryz & Buono practically gleaming in front of me. IT WAS TORTURE TRYING TO CHOOSE.

Anyways. That's all I wanted to say. My second H!P purchase! Yaaaay. I'm happy, you're happy, we're happy ufufufufu.

~ Miu

P.S. I'm gonna post my H!P rankings next post! That is, unless something crops up. Like an update or whatever.

P.P.S. I MISS YOU ERIKA.

P.P.P.S. I HATE H!P FOR NOT GIVING YOU A PROPER GRADUATION.

P.P.P.P.S. HAVE I SAID I MISS YOU?!

It's today.

Erika's graduating today...sooooo saaaaaad D: I'm going to miss her like hell. Seriously. Erika's always been so funny and dependable, I'm going to miss her being in C-ute. Especially since she's always been overlooked. Seriously? She didn't even get a solo line in the last single. Way to send her off, Tsunku. Rawr. Today's graduation better be a good one. I wonder if it'll be Bye Bye Mata Ne scale? Lots of slow-waving glowsticks, C-ute members crying, Erika fighting off tears...oh, heck. If only I could hop a plane to Tokyo right now.

One of the last few 6-nin pics? *sniff* Everyone looks so close...this never happened with Kanna ._. ( can't blame her since her foot was a bit wonky at the time of her leaving. )

Now I wonder what's going to happen to 5-nin C-ute? I think they'd probably be fine, but...5 is kinda little compared to Berryz's 7. C-ute's lost 3 members already. Doesn't this affect them? Are they going to add new members? I don't want any new girls in C-ute D: I'll only support the original lineup! ( for now. )

Just after I posted about Ryuusei Boy, the other A-side came out! Ya-ho ~

It was AWESOME. Like, seriously unique and cool. I've never seen anything like it. At first glance, I suddenly thought of Dschingis Khan and then I wasn't sure if I was going to like the oldies-ish disco-ish beat, but then I continued watching it and loved it. Luhhhh-ved it. The girls were great as usual, and Saki and Chinami looked so cute! All of them seemed really into it too, none of the smiles looked fake at all. So this is a good bonus.

I absolutely preferred this to Ryuusei Boy. RB was nice, but Watashi no Mirai is really cute and quirky. The song, and the overall setting was definitely better.

P.S. And just to be random, I have a bruise the size of Texas on my face after slamming it onto the beam during a backsomersault gone wrong. Sniff.

~ Miu

Just when I was complaining that H!P was becoming boring, the PV for Ryuusei Boy came out. So thanks Berryz, you saved me from writing off H!P altogether. Let's take a look at the PV.

Nice song, nice outfits, and the girls all looked great. Especially Saki! ♥ She looks sooo gorgeus, but she barely got any close ups at all. Maasa looked really nice too, but I didn't see her much of her. And surprisingly, Momo didn't seem to get much of a look in. In the one solo line she had however, her voice sounded way deeper than usual. Awesome.

I didn't really like the dance...but I did like the setting. Like that shiny thing they were dancing on. It reminded me slightly of Seishun Bus Guide, but the outfits here are much better. Great song ~ Can't wait for Watashi no Mirai no Danna-sama!

And PLEASE give Captain more lines and more screen time! ヽ(´o｀； ｵｲｵｲ

Plus just a note, 5 of the Berryz girls are now down with the flu. Chinami and Yurina are the only two ones left standing. GET WELL SOON.

~ Miu

Seems that no one knows.

I'm saying that it's literally gone or whatever, but lately nothing interesting has been coming up in H!P. There were maybe a few singles, but those weren't exactly nice singles, what with Kimagure Princess and whatever.

But I still like Hello! Project. Just a little reassurance. I know some of the fans have probably become tired or it with the crap quality lately, but even so I'm the kind of person who won't give up on one of my key interests. I just hope the songs get better soon. And the members stop graduating so frequently.

~ Miu

The PV of Morning Musume's 41st single Kimagure Princess is out.

Bad? No. Good? No.

It's not exactly borderline, since I'm pretty sure I don't like it. I don't like the chipmunk-y voices throughout the song, and I don't think the outfit matches the song or the set much.

... I have nothing else I want to say about this except that I don't like it.
