The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[sukibeam]

^ Very cool find! It looks like they hold a trademark for 10 years, if the expirations of "MINIMONI." and its katakana counterpart are anything to go by (March 2012 vs 2022).

Also looks like they registered Chica#Tetsu and Amenomorikawaumi literally the day before announcing the names publicly. Guess they don't want any moles leaking such vital information

I'll be so glad when H!P decides a consistent format for anniversary year. Even though the 25th anniversary was last year, the 2024 new member audition is somehow in the 27th year.
10yr anniversary concert 2007
15 year anniversary concerts 2013
20 year anniversary concerts 2018 and 2019(Hello Winter 2018/2019 both 20th Anniversary concert)
25 year anniversary concert 2023

At this rate the 30th year anniversay will be in either 2027 or 2029

Nonaka "Chel" Miki's favorite childhood hard candy "Chelsea" (チェルシー) is being discontinued by Meiji at the end of March 2024, which had been around for 53 years. That is why she wore the Chelsea t-shirt on Instagram Live after she heard the news. Nonaka's nickname comes from Chelsea.

My manager at the time gave me the nickname "Chelsea" because I wrote "Chelsea" in the favorite food column of my Morning Musume audition resume.
I am really sad that my favorite Chelsea will no longer be sold, but I heard that it will be sold until the end of March, so I hope to get a lot of them!

So stock up on Chelsea candy before it is gone.

It is announced that Chelsea candy is back. The company that originally sold the product, Meiji, has been replaced by Dounan Foods company, which is headquartered in Hokkaido, has renewed the soft candy with a raw texture, and it will be sold exclusively in Hokkaido from August 10th.

The only group I know from this list is fishbowl.
Unless there's been one already and I missed it, I feel like an H!P tribute album was long overdue. It's nice to see a few ~newer~ songs on there, too.

[boinsie]

There was one... 23 years ago.

Gonna need a "crumbles to dust, I'm so old" emote.

What's everyone's guess at an estimate number of H!P Fanclub members?
