Hello! Project's Station '25 ~YT · TV · Radio · Magazines~

the dancing thing was judged poorly.

they shoulve gotten ayumi and riho if they just wanted flashy moves.

BerryKyu won for technique and control. The little kids were just spazzing, they were no better than that Fujii Rio girl. But like the dance instructor had pointed out to Fujii, there's just too much energy going on and not enough control.

i always wander, Manokitty most of her pair in magazine is Maimi. is it coincidence or maybe some love line? LOL

[iceymoon]

i think it's probably because both girls are the same age and they both have the same sort of mature/sexy beauties image. also i think both of them make more magazine appearances than the other H!P girls, i think even Airi doesn't get as many magazine features as Maimi (and certainly not as many as Mano). Riho is climbing up there in terms of magazine appearances (at least in UTB), but you can see what i mean here with Maimi and Mano have a similar image that Riho doesn't share with them.

If they really wanted to win the dance battle, then Riho and Ayumi would have been there.
It was all scripted for sure, the kids won before the battle even started.

Please, please, please check out a band called Ikimonogakari! I love lots of their songs. They're just right for my vocal range, so I love to sing them at karaoke. My favorite Ikimonogakari songs are "Hana Wa Sakura, Kimi Wa Utsukushi" and "Kaeritakunattayo." Why don't you try singing them too?

I'm crazy about a girl group called Perfume. I love the way they perform. They're perfectly synchronized when they dance, but each girl shows her own personality. I think that's amazing. And the girls are all funny. I love their interviews. I hope you like Perfume too!

I'm so happy to have this chance to write to you because I want to tell you about some of the artists who I really, really respect. I think Mr. Children, Miliyah Kato, Kazuyoshi Saito, aiko, and navy & ivory are all awesome because I love songs with great lyrics. I sometimes go to karaoke with my high-school friends. When we sing Miliyah Kato songs, we have a blast.

Some of the other girls in the group have told you about their favorite artists. And today it's my turn! I'm crazy about a pop-rock band called Ikimonogakari, and my favorite song of theirs is "Kimagure Romantic." Ikimonogakari write great songs. Their vocalist is a girl named Kiyoe Yoshioka. She switches from cool to kawaii depending on the song. I love her voice. Check out Ikimonogakari! I know you'll like them too.

Hi! Lately I've been listening to my all-time favorite idol group. They called themselves PEACEFUL. They had great rhythms and beautiful voices, and they danced really well. I've always wanted to be in a group where everyone sings and dances. In fact PEACEFUL inspired me to join Morning Musume.

I'm spending lot of time listening to my favorite band. They're called Kobukuro.
I'm crazy about them. Shunsuke Kuroda's voice is so good!
I especially like a song called "Tsubomi." My mom and dad love it too.
I'm also a big fan of a band called Boowy. They broke up more than 20 years ago,
but I got into them because my dad plays them in the car. Thanks, Dad!

It's the same with me and my Dad and Led Zeppelin.

[aishiteruaibon]

^ That's the same way I got into Michael Jackson. I practically grew up on Michael Jackson as my Dad was a big fan. I've been a fan of Michael's since I was old enough to memorize melodies of songs. :3 r.i.p. waaahnn ;-;
