I missed Kago's RR21 cover posted by JonCC on the other page...that's really a fresh take on that song. I could stand to listen to more live band versions of H!P hits, I think.

Her voice is still really nice, even if she looks like she's gone through some hard living compared with Dorian Tsuji.

Former Kobushi Factory members Hamaura Ayano, Wada Sakurako, and Nomura Minami got together for end of the year dinner.

Hamaura Ayano

Today is the end of the year, and we wanted to get together with 5 members of Kobushi, but Hirose Ayaka and Inoue Rei couldn't make it, so it was just 3 of us that got together.
We ate shrimp samgyeopsal in Shin-Okubo, and it was so good that the three of us ate five servings!

When I'm with Kobushi members, I tend to eat too much. LOL!

I wonder if Inoue Rei us low-key banned (or at least discouraged)from publicly interacting with former Kobushi members.

We've seen it before where we know that current UF/HP members have kept up with disgraced ex-members (eg Tsuji's friendship with Kago continued). The Kobushi situation however continues to appear as though the public only has a tip-of-the-iceberg knowledge of what really happened.

My biggest suspicion is with Ayano considering how ginormous if a push she was given even during her Kenshuusei days only to peter out in a short lived group AND not stay with UF.

It wouldn't surprise me if due to Covid, H!P members aren't supposed to meet up with anyone outside of immediate family and work contacts for the time being.

[Sohee]

^Exactly.
Also, H!P had a concert that day (yesterday), so.
H!P generally is super busy at the end of the year with rehearsals and christmas lives and end of the year lives and then winter concerts. Managing to find time in between all of that to see friends sounds difficult to begin with, and then add COVID-19 on top of all that lol

^what Sohee said
Even last year (before Covid was a thing) this was brought up in the K&K 2019 concert Homare brought up that she never has time to meet with her friends anymore, and with Covid in the way that would’ve made this difficult problem into a near impossible problem for everyone.

Fujimoto and her husband, comedian Tomoharu Shoji, had live countdowns on their respective channels while sitting next to each other…





By the way, if you didn't know he has his own channel… yeah. In fact, he's had some big videos of his own, such as his talk about his experience with the coronavirus back in August…



…and his shot-for-shot spoof of "Make you happy" by NiziU…



…which Fujimoto recorded for him…

More OG and their New Year's traditions.

Tsuji prepares a namasu (daikon and carrot salad) styled hotpot for the Year of the Ox…



…Takahashi does her kakizome (lit. "first writing")…



…and Goto plays Monster Hunter…



…but her goal is to hunt a difficult monster with huge horns, which means it's like an ox, right? For the Year of the Ox? (No, really, that's her line of thinking.) And the more times she dies, the smaller her otoshidama (New Year's monetary gift) will be.
