I think Tsunku’s really got it now.
Okay, I’m supposed to be on hiatus, but I’m going to make this real fast, so enjoy the unedited goodness! In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s “Kimi sae ireba nani mo irenai”, the other A-side to “Brainstorming” for Morning Musume’s … Continue reading

Okay, I admit, I’m really, honestly, truly a fan now.
When I first saw this video, my jaw just dropped. I think I might’ve squeed. I might’ve thought this like ‘holy crap’, ‘awesome’, ‘epic’, ‘oh my god I have to buy the next single, like I bought the last single, … Continue reading
“Juice juice”? I don’t even — … !!!
I can’t stop laughing when the girls say “juice juice”. I can’t explain it. I like how the girls are repeating “juice juice” like it’d reveal the secrets of the universe to them. It’s…hehehehehehe. Sorry. Ahem. I’m sure it sounds … Continue reading

The end is near!
Lately, I feel like I’ve been on some sort of strangely synchronized wavelength with Idolminded’s Ray’s posts. A while ago, Ray made an excellent post wondering if we’re nearing the end of an idol boom. Then just yesterday, Ray was … Continue reading
The No-Bikini Group
Warning: slightly explicit language ahead. Lately, I’ve been noticing how popular Momoiro Clover Z has gotten. Like, really popular. Like, sell out mega-stadium (of 10,000 people capacity), sell over 100k in singles, become-the-voice-of-Sailor Moon-reboot popular. Their albums sell. Apparently, MomoClo … Continue reading

A new unit is being formed from the Hello!Project kenshuusei!
Apparently, Tsunku’s planning to debut more than one unit in the near future, so you could say that he isn’t putting all his Eggs in one basket! (I’m sorry! I just…had to use that line.) The announcement here. Here are … Continue reading
The Dangers of Putting Idols on Pedestals
Lately, there’s been a bit of a stir around a radio show which Koharu was a part of, the full transcript of which you can read here, translated by TnB on mm-bbs. I think if anyone wants to comment on … Continue reading

Oh Tsunku/Thoughts on Reina’s grad
(Because I can never just write one post at a time.) I’d almost say that this is what makes me love and hate Tsunku: he’s throwing in so much aural information into a song that it almost sounds like just … Continue reading
And just like that I’m a little bit into S/mileage again.
This is mostly a Meimi appreciation post. 1. Skip to around 50s to see an amusing scene with Meimi. I love how Kanon says ‘that’s a rubbish play. You’re all so rubbish.’ I like how completely ridiculous Meimi is. I’ve … Continue reading
