The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That live concept and the time change really does kill any hope of younger artists/idols appearing, at least for this particular special.

Question: I remember some hello station or something like that having a clip of S/Mileage rehearsing Eighteen Emotion. Katsuta Rina was trying to teach the other members how to do the choreography (since Rina was usually the first to master a new dance) and they were doing a group spiral wave. Takeuchi was behind her and either screwed it up or was screwing around so Rina knocked her flatter than a pancake. Does anyone remember this clip or were it was from?

I think that Rina and Ogata Haruna were H!P soloists in the age when H!P wasn't doing soloists.

With all of these autumn concerts and events lately, it seems like H!P has a new aesthetic for costume design. Everything seems longer/taller, less colorful, and more stylish; the big, poofy idol dresses seem to be out for now. The latest is the report from the Kobushi Factory promo event…

I wonder if they got a new designer, or if they're just following the broader fashion trends in Japan.

Looks like hell froze over, because that listing has been wrong since the name change.

Does anyone know who the actress was who played the title character in Berryz Kobo's Seishun Bus Guide?

I reckon most customers were like me: They saw the misspelling, rolled their eyes, sighed with exasperation, and never complained about it to CDJapan.

I didn’t even notice the mistake. My brain never registered it.
