Just as trivia, Miyamoto Karin also joined the Eggs when she was 9 years old (image from a little later on, but priceless nonetheless).

Wow it feels like years since I've thought of Ume-san. The two of them look like giantesses in that pic next to Karin. Come on modders, where's our Hello! Evil Village with Lady Tension Agetrescu?

For any lurkers/newbies who might be unfamiliar with that period (i.e., late Golden Era) in the history of H!P…

She was my favorite member of ℃-ute back in the day. When I saw them in Nagoya in 2007, a few fans there were wearing GEM t-shirts, where GEM (Great Erika and Maimi) was a parody of GAM (Great Aya and Miki). XD

She's the producer for idol group Turtle Lily!

Shoot, you just dug Buono!'s faux rival group Bello! out of the depths of my mind.

I saw that Turtle Lily reference somewhere, wasn't sure if the project was still around or not!

And dang boins... Bello! :butbut: I feel so nostalgic right now. If memory serves they were sort of a response to the AKB subgroup No Sleeves, who were similarly ikemen style. But Momochi totally threw that drum battle on purpose. She's probably in some studio right now holding a pair of sticks with raised pinkies, banging away like Travis Barker.

I think Bello only existed as a foil to Buono! in one of their DVD magazines, but it meant Kumai and Umeda were in a group together for a minute so I was there for it.
..also shoot, going on a no3b binge now. :butbut: :heart:

I feel like I might know what it feels like to have a stroke after trying to read that page. My brain hurt.
