Rather than attempting to write knowledgeably about the Taiwan New Star! auditions, I’ll lead you here to the Stardust blog where you can see pictures and someone else’s impressions of the girls. I’ve watched very little of the auditions, but I have watched Lightbulb. I like her.
Also! American Wota is back. It was the first [...]

New Girls! And Other Stuff
Berryz Reviewz!
Okay, lame title, I know. ^_^ But, I’m listening to the Dschinghis Khan Tarutaru Mix, so I guess I’m feeling lame?
First up! A review of 5(FIVE)! And too many exclamation points!!!
HAPPY!stand Up – I think I wouldn’t mind this being a single. It’s damn catchy with some great harmonizing going in. In a way, it [...]
A Closer Look at Pepper Keibu
I gave my previous reactions on Pepper Keibu based solely on the single covers and the song itself. That was *just* before the PV was released. If you’re one of the very few people who seems not to have seen it, go here and watch.
The PV, to me, is delightful. Sure, it’s “Onna ni Sachi [...]
HAIR (and Pepper Keibu)!

There you go, guys. Morning Musume’s new single, “Pepper Keibu”. This will be followed by a new album of additional Pink Lady covers called “COVER YOU” which will include a duet between Hiroshi Itsuki (now a part of UFA) and Takahashi Ai.
In the above Youtube clip, you can see one of the covers for the [...]
Pepper Keibu?! and testing waters
Nothing official yet, so rumors abound about the new Morning Musume single. There are three titles that it could supposedly go by:
First, “Ame no Furai Hoshi de wa Ai Senai Darou”. I think this might be a c/w track rather than an a-side. For one, the only solo lines in it? Are panda lines sung [...]
Cover groups!?
I figured I’d go ahead and blog about this because I’m bored. :p
Online singing cover groups! What the hell, right?
At least, that’s what I thought. I’d see groupdubs on YouTube while looking for other things and be kind of annoyed by them, actually, but as a member of the gimme_hp group on livejournal, people occasionally [...]
Leg warmers
Reina and I have this thing, see… Back when I first got into H!P? She was my favorite. It had 99% to do with her looks, I’m sure. Again, Kanashimi Twilight was the first “new” release that I was with MoMusu for, and Reina is utter hotness in it. Her accessories were to die for. [...]
H!P Blogs, Eating Disorders, and Hamtaro
I want to discuss blogs with you guys. And, amazingly, not blogs like this one. (Although, International Wota recommends me now. Thanks!) I want to talk about blogs of H!P members past and present. Hello! Online posts translations of the blogs of Aibon, Nakazawa Yuko, and Maki Goto. Aibon’s is an interesting insight into the [...]
