The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[JonCC]

Today, the official Hello! Project Fanclub site and the official M-line Fanclub site have both been renewed with a new redesigned look. The URL links are also changed.
https://www.upfc.jp/helloproject/

Hopefully, the Hello! Project official site will get an update too.

Looks pretty good.
Better use of space, a more modern look.

I got bored, so I decided to compile a list of each current Momusu member's most liked tweets featuring their name. This list might not be 100% accurate, as it doesn't account for nicknames or only their first / last name.

In my on going mission to make as many meaningless google docs as I can, I've been working on this for a while, it's nowhere near done. But as the major group, I wanted to finalize the Morning Musume section first to eventually help me with the other groups. It probably needs a little (a LOT) tweaking. Like, adding the Japanese with the romaji. I'm trying to decide if I want to link to the lyric sites or music videos OR have a separate page dedicated to music videos. Will also be adding little notes for singles that are missing members for various issues (I.E Hiatus)

Discography

Anyway, tell me what you think. Is it understandable as it is?

It looks good. It took me a few minutes to figure it out but it is understandable. Can the color code be put in its own separate box?

I knew they were going to do an Onyanko Club song! I was hoping they would have picked Sailor Fuku wo Nugasanai de but Ja ne isn't bad either I guess.

I watched the Nishida feat. Beyooooonds Budokan concert yesterday, these are my thoughts.

Somebody at Hulu needs to be fired. The camera work was gawd awful. Much more worse than Hina Fes 2023. It was random as hell. The shots were randomly switching to far away side views, not filming the person singing and just weird shots.

The Discotheque theme was kinda weird and didn't flow very well. Way too much DJ Koo. The Discotheque version of Hey Beyonda was far inferior to the NeoBeyo performance last year. It just seemed lazy/unfinished in comparison. They should have just did a regular version. Big props to Kokoro for her yell(formerly Yuhane's yell) in Koshi Tanta Turn. The new versions of the Unit songs were great. They over did the DJ Koo sound bites and screen time of him in the audience. I can't remember the songs but Momohime and Utano each missed a line. After the Disco part was over and the went to performing regular, that's where Beyo knocked it out of the park.

Nishida Nishida Nishida, what can I say. She was perfect in every aspect of the performance. She even had more MC time. She was hilarious in the VTR, I laughed the whole time. The true Beyo ace was let loose. More Nishida, I'm here for it!

Special mention to Kobayashi. She killed it. Piano aside. Her singing has improved greatly.

Impressive stage! They covered diverse eras and even sang a few numbers. Megane no Otoko no Ko was a real standout as well.

That one guy in Sakura Chirari maybe should've sat that song out.

I know I'm stuck in the H!P algorithm but I wonder if other fandoms do similar things. Are there 48/46 school clubs and orchestras?
