Juice=Juice indies thread : 3rd indies single - Ten Made Nobore!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I don't understand people thinking she sounds like Maimi.

I see how she resembles her sometimes, but I don't think she has ever sounded the tiniest bit like Maimi.

[Jessi]

Jessi you don't like anything honestly ....

Blasphemy! I like plenty of things.

I'm just not the type to pretend I 100% love everything when I don't. I don't think being a fan or supporter means I have to pretend that everything they do is perfect or that every girl is flawless.

I think I've been quite vocal about loving Karin and Aina in juice=juice and actually I think the first single for this group was awesome. Sure as a whole I'm still not sure how I feel about juice=juice but I think thats because they need some time to grow. I also hope that the second single is as good or better than the first and I don't want the group to lose speed when they have had such a good start.

And even though I like juice=juice it won't hold me back from saying that I think they looked a bit emotionless or awkward in the PV... Because they kind of did... The dance was super cool though

Personally my criticism comes from a loving place. I really want all of H!P to succeed.

Currently I don't like s/mileage
I think Berryz latest single was bad and that they need to find some direction because I used to LOVE them
C-ute is doing amazing! And actually I used to think they were just ok.
Morning Musume is awesomeeeee always been my favorite but since the new gens I love them even more. Also I love every one of those girls and that's a fact!

I mean really you should check the Morning Musume related threads because I'm just bursting with love and approval.

The only cousin of Maimi i know of is Take-chan.

Oop.
I think Karin is definitely the ace of Ju=Ju. I think it's mostly because of her super high energy dancing.

More like Karin's history. Karin has build up a fan base since she joined. I don't think the others have build up eneough to beat Karin. So by default she is the ace. But really, Karin deserves it. Shes really that talented.

As for Tomoko, I think she resembles Yuukarin more than Maimi. I don't see Maimi at all

[randompasserby]

^I say both

From what I can see around 2ch other than Karin, it seems like Aarii and Sayubee also had quite a lot of fans even before Ju=Ju.
Tomoko is building her own fanbase very pretty fast and Yuka is doing ok. I... don't really see many threads for Aina though

[Starra]

There are a few Aina fans out there AFAIK.

[Pavlova]

I like Aina quite a bit (I was so pissed she didn't get in 9th gen and Mizuki and Zukki did like, really super pissed)

However I still like Karin and Sayuki a bit more.

Very bad camera angle. It looks like Yuka, Tomoko and Uemura taking pics with hobbits
Sayubee, Aina and Karin look unusaully extra small

Karin looks ridiculously like Miki there.

[Parhelion69]

Karin dances very energetically, but she doesn't spazz and overdoit like Takechan does for instance. Karin's movements look nice, not awkard like Takeuchi's.

And Karin always had something that made her stand out, her incredibly cute looks, her singing voice, energetic dancing and natural shyness.
Also, if you check at Mixi rankings she was always more popular than any of S/mileage 2nd gens girls and she kept that popularity over them even now, that a long time has passed since they debuted, they never surpassed them, and now that J=J was formed, Karin's just increasing the difference in the Mixi rankings

She'll be one of H!P's top girls in a few years, like Yuukarin was. I have no doubt about it.

[Amped]

H!P wants to clear the confusion : this 2nd indies single will not be sold for general release on CD Stores on 5/8. it is a limited release exclusively at the H!P Shop, E-lineup only or the H!P Kenshuusei event on 5/5.
