I could be wrong but isn't it odd that the MM Tour Final was announced before the J=J Tour Final. Seems like J=J will be playing clean up for the end of the year. If it was J=J 11/28 followed by MM 11/29 that would make sense. J=J Final has to be in December.

What can be bigger than Fuku-chans grad?

Considering it's the 10th anniversary year for J=J....wait a minute.

Call me crazy but

Could "she" return?

better yet

Could "they" return for a true Ultimate Juice show?

I really want Tsubaki Factory to release an album before any more lineup changes come. They released 2nd Step at the perfect time to cap off their 8 member lineup, now I want them to cap off this era and it's about time. Spring 2021 to earlyish 2024 is about 3 years so it coincides with their other albums. (2015-2018 for 1st, 2019-2021 for 2nd.)

I'm mentally preparing myself for if they add new members to Tsubaki Factory from the current audition. I'd prefer the group stay under 10 members but UF ain't about that anymore so I just hope they make picks that are strong right out of the gate like the little camellias and they don't change the group's music too much. They've been evolving while still keeping that OG soft, feminine Tsubaki feel. Just keep doing that. I'll listen to alt groups for that less than 10 member group feel.

Hello Project conversations that must have happened.

Part 1
Manager-san1: Are you serious? She wants to do what!? Do you know how much that'll cost?
Manager-san2: Yes I'm serious. Mr Upfront President already approved it.
Manager-san1: Okay, I'll call the fish market. You call the press.

Part 2
Producer: So, how do you like the song, I made all the changes you requested.
Director: It's great but I still feel like it's missing something.
Producer: but I did everything......
Director: Pigeons
Producer: eh? Pigeons?
Director: Can you add pigeons?

Hello! Project Songwriter Kodama Ameko is interviewed by Natalie

What do artists and creators who enrich the lives of listeners through their music and live performances think about in their daily musical activities? In this series, a joint project with the Japan Music Copyright Association (JASRAC), we interview various artists about the joys, pains, and secrets of their creative activities, while also asking about their awareness of the economic aspects that support their musical activities. In the second installment, we interviewed Kodama Ameko, who has written lyrics for Hello! Project groups, various artists, and animated films, and in recent years has also become active as a novelist, about why she has been at the forefront of lyric writing for more than 10 years, her pride as a lyricist, and her ambitions for the future.
