I'm not sure if it's just how she is or if she hasn't loosened up yet (or both), but I feel like I'm watching a kid read her report aloud for the whole class whenever Mei talks for a long chunk of time.

FNS Kayousai 2019 has announced more artists performing for both nights (Night #1 : 12/4 and Night #2 : 12/11)

Tamura Meimi and cast of the musical "Hair Spray" have been added today and are going to perform as part of FNS's musical medley on Night #1 12/4

Sonim is invited to perform for her musical "Marie Antoinette" on Night #2 12/11

No H!P groups are invited this year. Will there be anymore last minute additions?

No invite from Best Artist 2019 either

I love coming across these types of videos that showcase/intro each group and member. (The only downside (to me) is them not following through on seniority within groups, but otherwise it's decent. )

The Hello! Pro Research Club from Tokyo University (and other Hello! Pro Research Clubs in nearby Universities in the Tokyo area) come united to dance (some singing) H!P songs at the annual Tokyo University Komaba Festival 2019

Day 1 11/23/19

Setlist is posted in the description.

It was raining. Didn't stop their show though. Former Kenshuusei Okamura Rise (Okamuu) also performs in a couple of songs like Manner Mode.

Day 2 11/24/19

Setlist is posted in the description.

Okamura Rise also performs here to Kobushi Factory's Oh No Ounou

I love it when former Kenshuusei still participate in fan culture, it's so cute.

I thought about putting this question in the "H!P Goods you bought this year" thread, but figured more people might see it here.

Where do you guys buy your H!P/idol-related CDs? I haven't bought a JPop album in over 10 years so I'm a little stuck.
I'm asking cause I really wanna get some of the latest H!P albums, specifically BEYOOOOOND1St.

Been using them for over 10 years now. Never had an issue.
