The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Moh]

Whoever wrote that article on Arama Japan about Oda Sakura and Upfront is trash.

FWIW I wouldn't call it an "article" since they're not a news outlet in any sense. (Haven't read it, don't wanna read it!)

so when are they gonna add H!P Music on Spotify

Wouldn't count on it anytime soon.

^pay no mind, I read it and they took Sakura’s blog out of context.

I’m intrigued about these negative comments about what she said from “the larger community and idol fans” but didn’t provide any evidence or reference to back up their point?

When Mei says she was sweating a lot she makes a gesture with her hand like sprinkles are falling onto/from her head. Anybody know, is that just a Mei thing, or a common gesture?

Oh interesting.

I viewed it as a subconscious action to check the status of her bangs, similar to brushing hair back (if it were longer).

Found a new channel created by a female wota who loves Hello! Project and BABYMETAL. That fits with us here, of course, but what really makes her channel noteworthy is that she also uses it to practice her English. She occasionally speaks English, and she also subtitles most of her videos in English. It's both cute and impressive.

She's quickly reached 2000+ subscribers…

On top of that...

Isn't that Miki's husband? And he's screaming "Melty" with the same cadence that he got famous for screaming "Mikitty"?!

These CMs are wild for multiple reasons lol


Edit. Damn autocorrect

I was just reminded (by my own brain) of the day when I woke up super super early in the morning to watch Berryz Kobo's final concert.
Holy man, do I miss them.

Today (March third) was their debut day.

Crazy how many memories of this forum, and a huge part of my high school life (H!P and Berryz specifically), just came flooding back to me today. Without Berryz, without Cappy, I never would have started learning Japanese! I never would have met all you beautiful people.

Lemme go bawl while listening to every emotional Berryz song I can find, remembering the fact that I never was able to attend a Berryz Kobo concert live.

Is it coincidence (I’m a day ahead of y’all) the day I find out about Saki retiring from the industry and getting married was the same day Berryz debuted
