Everything is at a standstill. The super typhoon is near Osaka right now. Transportation has stopped.

I think I have gotten used to Haruna's and Rina's foreheads.

I understand the H!P Wiki wanting to have scanned DVD covers on all relevant pages. Makes sense.

However if those scans are made with the DVD still in its plastic wrapping and with the barcode sticker attached, why bother?

This is just one example but most FC DVD pages have scans like this.

Even taking a semi-decent picture is better than scans like that.

If Furari Ginza sounds like a song from Sailor Moon, then how would it be cast? I'm thinking:

Maria - Uranus
Kaede - Tuxedo Mask
Chel - Mercury
Eripon - Jupiter
Honey - Moon
Mizupon - Mars
Maa - Chiba-Usa
Reina - Venus
Chii-chan - Saturn
Ayumi - Neptune
Akane - Pluto

new interview with songwriter Kodama Ameko. She talks about her impressions of working with Hello! Project and compares her style of lyrics writing to Tsunku's. She can't imitate the legendary Tsunku.

If I were forced to stick with just Morning Musume members, I'd probably cast it like this:

Maria - Moon
Kaede - Tuxedo Kamen
Akane - Mercury
Ayumi - Mars
Erina - Jupiter
Mizuki - Venus
Reina - Chibimoon / Haruna - Black Lady (I didn't want to leave her out.)
Masaki - Pluto
Miki - Uranus
Sakura - Neptune
Chisaki - Saturn

"Kawamura Ayano Wants to Improve Angerme and Isn’t Afraid to Criticize Her Seniors to Make It Happen"

Kamiko thinks Kawamuu is really working hard lately.

Even if it might be rude to the seniors, she’ll say things directly for the sake of the group

Angerme Wada Ayaka’s Bijurumu 5/12 Broadcast


For the latest single’s release events, they did member produced events
I did a lot a lot of consultations and was allowed to do it.

The start of it all was [Kawamuu].
I asked the members what they thought about current conditions in Angerme
What they want us to work harder at, and so on

[Kawamuu] sent me a really long message in return.
I was really saved by her words.

[Kawamuu] just joined recently but
The fact she’s thinking of us like that made me really happy.

I couldn’t deny that release events were getting stagnant with the established format.
They should be a chance for even people who don’t know Angerme to see us and think we’re fun.
While treasuring the guests who always come for us
It’s an ideal chance to have people besides them see Angerme.
I always thought we could have a lot of fun thinking of and directing them ourselves.


[Kawamuu] said,
“Someday, I’d like to try to do member produced release events”
I thought, I want to do that as soon as possible.
I consulted with a lot of people, and got the okay.

Up until now for release events
The manager came up with the setlist and we had a script for the MCs
The members did events according to that.

When I decided my graduation, I thought, without the members doing anything, the group as a whole will keep moving with no connection to the members individual growth.
It was a really difficult thing but, through the member produced events, what I was testing was
How do they think of Angerme? I really wanted to know.
It was the perfect chance to set up Angerme exactly as they want it.

(...)
I hope this can be useful to Angerme’s future.

Oden-kun said on the radio that Kamu-chan is the most responsible in Angerme and could even be the next leader.

Kawamura is just great. She was a struggling indie idol for a long time, now she's finally hit the upper tier of idol groups with H!P and yet she's not staying idle and resting on her laurels.
