H!P Youtube thread

She only turned ten a couple of months ago, though. Maybe he wants to wait until she's a bit older.

I wish they had used a different video.

Who was that guy in the beginning?

[Menno]

^ ENDo

He's an half American and half Japanese professional dancer who has been in several big name PVs. He was also part of a Girls Generation dance cover group.

Posting this again because I love Maasa.

^ (Un?)fortunately for the world she can't sing, because she'd be an unstoppable force of nature if she could.

[Starra]

I love listening to her voice, but yeah, she's not the best singer .

[Zunu]

^ That's cool, I mean, we'd all be listening to Adele or some other crap right now if "best voice" was the criterion. (Tbh I can't stand Adele's voice but you get my point.) H!P is about idol technique, not vocal chops. But even so, imagine Maasa with an Ayaya level voice. Shit would definitely be real up in Nihon.

Can they just skip the auditions and make Chisato the other vocalist in Reina's band?

I never understood why Maasa is so appealing for western fans. I like her personality and mother-like figure, but I really don't find her attractive.

Also, maybe she's a bit too big for japanese standards that she's not popular in Japan? Because she has a great personality (but to be fair only shines on berryz kamen and stuff, doesn't really show that in TV appearances)
