The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Zunu]

I actually just need song titles, snappy fast and easy when I need to post setlists. It is difficult when the latest songs aren't up. My brain can't memorize song titles.

Just a suggestion, disregard if it doesn't fit your workflow.

If you feel like you're wasting a lot of time looking for a particular song title, just post it in Japanese, and then put a flag like (fixxtitle) next to it. Later on either you or a mod can do a text search on "fixxtitle" and update the post with the correct romaji once it has come out, and delete the "fixxtitle" flag.

Example:

OCHA NORMA @ 8pm setlist :
1. 千早振る (fixxtitle) <--
2. Chotto Joucho Fuantei?... Natsu
3. Bacchikoi Seishun
4. Shekenaare
5. Good Luck no Munasawagi

Later:



Then:

OCHA NORMA @ 8pm setlist :
1. Chihayaburu
2. Chotto Joucho Fuantei?... Natsu
3. Bacchikoi Seishun
4. Shekenaare
5. Good Luck no Munasawagi

I think I just found my next Google Sheet project. I've been meaning to make myself a quick H!P song guide. Because I run into the same sort of problem. Where I see a song in Japanese , but I can't read it, so I have to do the whole google copy pasta. Using H!P Wiki on a phone is yucky. (Sorry H!P Wiki, you know how much I abuse you. I mean, love you.)

Ever since I finished my H!P History Sheets I've been looking for a new H!P project to tackle. Might take me a few months to figure out the best way to tackle it, but it will be tackled and probably a total waste of time. But it will satisfy me and that's all that matters.

OCHA NORMA Nakayama Natsume is getting some hate in the comments because she tweeted that she likes to wear Mikami Yua's sporty brand of clothing. She went to Disneyland with her mom and wore the clothing. They don't want her to be associated with an AV actress or mention her name. They want UF to delete it because it is not good for Hello Pro's image.

Catching flack for associating with Mikami Yua? That ship sailed a long time ago.
They had their chance 5+ years ago when both active H!P members and OG's starting interacting with her publically.

If nobody stopped associating with her back then (when she was actively doing porn), it's far too late to start now.
Just let Natsume wear what she wants. Some people need to get off of Twitter once in a while. It's a toxic cesspool.

Incidentally I'll take Mikami Yua being friends with H!P members over Oomori Seiko any day.

So I'm watching H!P Summer 2015 and started wondering how many were left.
C-ute = 0
MM = 6 That's half of the 2024 lineup.
Anju = 0
JJ = 0
CG = 0
KF = 1 Inoue Rei*
TF = 1 Ami Tanimoto

That's wild that MM still has that many members from 9 years ago.

[Zunu]

It's wild that all of 2015 Angerme is gone. Also wild that we're entering the era of having H!P members younger than Smilesge/Angerme.

Nakano Sun Plaza to close on July 2nd, 2023; Plans to have a "Commemorative Concert" and "Retrospective Exhibition" also being considered

The Nakano Sun Plaza complex in front of JR Nakano Station (Nakano Ward, Tokyo) will close on July 2, 2023, according to data from the Nakano Ward Council. The reason for the closure is the rebuilding of the building as part of a redevelopment project. The city will consider holding a "closing commemorative concert" and a "Nakano Sun Plaza retrospective exhibition" in conjunction with the closure of the building.

A New facility to be completed in 2028


Nakano Sun Plaza opened in June 1973. The distinctive white triangular-shaped building houses a hall with over 2,000 seats, a hotel, restaurants, and other facilities.


The hall has hosted concerts of a wide variety of genres, including enka, rock, and idol music, and is well known among music lovers.

In May 2021, the details of a redevelopment project by Nomura Real Estate Development Co. and others were announced, which called for demolition of the current facility and construction of a new facility with a combined hall and hotel with a maximum capacity of 7,000 people. With the goal of receiving an urban planning decision by the end of 2022 and completing construction of the facility in 2028. the current facility has been the focus of much attention.

At the meeting of the boards of directors of both the facility operator, Nakano Sunplaza Co. and the facility owner, the closure of the facility was decided for July 2nd, 2023. The company stated that operations, excluding the hall, would end at the end of June of the same year.

In closing the building, the company is considering holding a "Concert to Commemorate the Closing", a "Hall Backstage Tour", and a "Nakano Sun Plaza Retrospective Exhibition" as part of efforts to "preserve the legacy" of Nakano Sun Plaza in memory of the building. The company is also considering events for ward residents, such as tours of the facility.

Today the details of of a redevelopment plan for the area in front of Nakano Station's New North Exit, including the construction of a 7,000-capacity multipurpose hall on the site of the former Nakano Sun Plaza was officially announced.

Details of a redevelopment plan for the area in front of the new north exit of Nakano Station in Tokyo, including the site of Nakano Sun Plaza, which closed on July 2, have been announced.

The large-scale site, covering more than 2 hectares, will include a hall, offices, residences, commercial facilities, and a hotel.
Taking advantage of the characteristics of the Nakano Station area, which has nurtured a diverse range of cultures including music, subcultures, and food, the project aims to create a culture-driven city.

In this area, a multipurpose hall with a capacity of 7,000 people will be constructed, which is approximately three times the capacity of the former Nakano Sun Plaza Hall, which had a maximum capacity of 2,222 people.
It will also include a restaurant, an observation deck with an outdoor terrace offering a view of the western suburbs of Tokyo, a convention center that can be used by ward residents and businesses as a place for exchanges and meetings, and a facility that can accommodate up to 7,000 people.
A convention center that can be used as a venue for exchanges and meetings among ward residents and businesses, and an indoor playground for children that can be safely used by the child-rearing generation will also be introduced.

The start of constructing a new building on the former site of Nakano Sun Plaza has been postponed; construction cost may exceed 90 billion yen.

It has become clear that it will be difficult to complete the planned 61-floor high-rise and other buildings to be constructed on the former site of the Nakano Sun Plaza, which closed last July in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, on time by the end of Fiscal year 2029. The project itself may have to be reconsidered, as the start of construction, which was scheduled to start this fiscal year, is no longer expected.

According to the municipal government, the planned construction on the site is a 61-story, 250-meter-high complex called "NAKANO SUNPLAZA CITY" (tentative name). The new high-rise building will house offices, residences, and observation facilities. The adjacent low-rise building will house a large hall with a capacity of 7,000 people, a hotel, and other facilities. A children's playground and conference rooms will also be provided. The ward estimated the cost of the redevelopment project at 263.9 billion yen.

However, according to ward officials, in early September, the builder, Nomura Real Estate Development, informed them that the construction cost would increase by over 90 billion yen, citing soaring labor costs and high prices. Shimizu Corporation, the contractor for the construction, submitted an increased estimate to Nomura Real Estate.

Furthermore, at a later date, Nomura Real Estate informed them that it would be difficult to start construction this fiscal year. At that time, they also explained that they would scrutinize the plan carefully in order to reduce the increased construction costs.

The ward has given up on starting construction by the end of the fiscal year and completing the project by the end of Fiscal year 2029. A ward official stated, "We would like to demolish the (closed) Nakano Sun Plaza in front of the station as soon as possible, but we cannot proceed with the project plan as it is now," and that the ward will consider revising the plan itself.
