The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

^ Also the day of their final concert, six years ago. So it's probably not a coincidence that she announced it on March 3rd.

Six years ago.... Exactly six years ago, March 4, 2015, 7:00 pm JST, I was shopping at RECOfan in Shibuya, my favorite record store in the world. I just learned that it closed on October 11th. I hope that their new Akihabara store (a five-minute walk from the H!P shop) will be comparable, and that I'll be able to go there in the not-too-distant future.

These are the records I bought there that day, the last I'll ever be able to buy there. Note especially the one in the upper left corner.

March 3 is Hinamatsuri, so I imagine it’s the anniversary of lots of things idol-related.

Also, the school/fiscal year ends on March 31, so it’s around this time that upcoming changes are announced.

I’m not saying that such coincidences are not noteworthy, I’m just saying that such coincidences are more likely to occur around this time of the year.

So when I was listening to Beyooooond's new single yesterday I noticed they Vitamiiiiin's Single at the bottom with the singles. (There new single is in the album releases for some reason...)
I wasn't aware it had gotten a release digitally but since it was on their new single I didn't pay it any mind. That is, until this morning when I went on Twitter and there seem to be a return of Morning Musume Germany. I really don't understand how they can get away with releasing stuff right under UF. It's like, mind baffling to the point I really can't wrap my head around it and why UF wont do anything about it? This is been an ongoing issue for years.

Fans from every corner have been tweeting it to UF for over a year now.

At this point I doubt they'll notice. Or they just don't care.

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

Not at all; She announced it a few days ago! I believe it was 3/2 in Japan. Probably timed that way on purpose

Those little set decor touches are cute. It's always nice seeing more entertainment people talk about them.
