The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Jessi]

Do you mean the part about her fronting her own idol group previously?

I should probably look deeper into it. I know almost nothing about her pre-angerme days other than the fact that she got recognized for looking like a tall Miyamoto Karin and had a bunch off YouTube videos

This is the mini-doc (not so mini, really) about her group, Hachikin Girls, that I referenced in our previous discussion…



And this is a clip of them performing on musicるTV shortly before Up-Front recruited her…



They have other videos out there, such as their full appearance on musicるTV, but I can't look for them right now.

The cucumber legend grows every day.

If I didn't already know cucumbers were gross, H!P would really have me feeling like I was missing out on something.

I hope they've added BEYOOOOONDS members to the dance club for the Summer concerts (the most obvious choices being Miyo and Utano).

Just wanted to give a heads up that various 1080p versions of what previously were only DVD quality H!P releases are being uploaded on Aidoru! Online.
Concerts, image DVD's,... These come from the U-Next streaming service so it's not some fan doing a poor upscaling job but actual 1080p.
Of course not super high bitrate like an actual Blu-ray (think more like Netflix 1080p), but a marked improvement in image quality nonetheless.
Even better than the official upscaled Morning Musume concert collection UF put out a while back.

If you, like me, are annoyed at all these 1080p trailers H!P puts up on their Youtube channels, only to release the actual content on plain old DVD this may be of interest to you.

^ Whoa, a member who is actually wearing braces? I don't remember ever seeing that before in H!P.

Picking this up from the photos thread, another active member with braces.
