Koharu is graduating... wtf.

Yesterday, as usual the first thing I do when I get on the computer is go on H!O (hello-online.org) and go onto the forums. At that time the news of Koharu's graduation hadn't been posted on the front page so I didn't know about her graduating immediately.... but damn once I found out I was just shocked and I mean SHOCKED like this => .............

This is the first time that I've ever witnessed a member graduating since I've first become a fan. It truely does hurt. But I'm wondering should it hurt more than it should? This current line-up has been together for two years now and they're all so close like family, so yes it would.

I've seen so much of all of the members' personalities and I've come to love all of them. I even went to the point of dismissing the fact that momusu does graduations. Boy was that a BAD move. It just made it more difficult for me to take when it actually happened.



^SEE THAT PHOTO? Yes, these photos radiate so much of that togetherness 9-nin momusu has. Try and photoshop koharu out of there and it just... just wouldn't look the same.

Her personality is really indescribable. She just brightens up the atmosphere just by showing up, and when she does smile you can't help but feel better. Her goofyness and airheadedness is what makes her interesting, but aside from that you can tell she is a hard working girl and can become serious when she has too. Even Sayumi has said that once.

All I know is that my favourite Momusu lineup and the lineup that got me into Morning Musume, is slowly changing, but that is something I need to deal with. This is how Momusu works and sometimes it really annoys me to see fans that stop liking the group just because their fave member is gone. Is that really all Morning Musume could offer you? Just that ONE person? You mean to tell me you didn't find interest in other things like their music, personality, how they interact with one another, dancing etc.? Because I know your favourite member wouldn't be as interesting without these things or the other members either.




Well, wherever Koharu wants to go, be it modelling or something else I say go for it! I can be selfish right now and say "No stay!" but Koharu has her own life. Personally I think a true fan doesn't just buy all the merchandise, know all the history, and praise their fav. artist but they also take the time to care, respect and support their fav. artist in whatever they decide to do, even if it might hurt them.



I know this won't be the last we'll see from Koharu. She said she'd like to be a model and I totally agree with her!! She has the body, and the face why not? Look at her photobooks there's solid proof there she has what it takes.

Here's to a new beginning for Koharu once again!

GANBATTE KOHARU!!

--------------------------------

I needed to get that out of my system. I already cried if you guys didn't know XD I am girl and I do cry easily at sad/touching happenings. Haha, this'll really hit home once she actually graduates on decembre 6th... ;_;

Fujiwara no Arigatai 2009.08.08 [Junjun totally owning fujimon part II >:D ]

Junjun, Sayumi and Eri guested on "Fujiwara no Arigatai to Omoe!" to promote Morning Musume's latest single "Nanchatte Renai" to be released on August 12th 2009 (lol I just mention the release date now. Minus one for me)

They will be on the show AGAIN on August. 15th, 2009 (friday for North and South Americans)


Note: You guys better hurry up and watch the video before youtube dele- oops, told you so :/

Whoa, Junjun... *looks at Junjun stepping over chair* Err... don't tell me you guys weren't staring at Junjun's legs like an idiot while she was going over that chair ^_-

Anyway, Junjun's unique sarcasm and directness is what makes this segment so awesome, like suddenly bringing out the phrase "choriis" out of no where XD If some of you were totally puzzled about why they were mentioning a mystery woman through that portion of the segment allow me to enlighten you :P

It has been rumored that Fujimon (host on the right) and Yukina are in a relationship. "Choriis" is Yukina's phrase, so by bringing this up Junjun is actually poking fun at Fujimon and Yukina's relationship (more specifically just Fujimon) XDDDD By asking Fujimon what it means when she already knows is very sly of her LOL If she keeps going like this she'll be even more cheeky and sly than Sayu is :D Using the excuse that she isn't a native japanese speaker is a very sly move indeed XD

I especially LOL'd big time when she said how they would lose their jobs if they didn't get number one :D But, I'd be seriously surprised if that happened. I love how direct Junjun is! It's always been a prominent part of her personality ever since she joined. Because of that it always ensue's comedy afterwards ^_^

I hope many fans don't shoot me for saying this but Junjun and Fujimon kind of make for a cute couple *runs away from H!P fans and Yukina* I don't know why, but when they're together I always go and say "aww!!!" I think he's the only guy to get my approval for dating our Spicy chinese banana-eating assassin Junko :3 Yet... it still sounds awkward saying that out loud...

This time around Sayu and Eri were really quiet. Junjun really took the stage light here and I'm happy she's getting noticed more. Getting on a show+gaining interest from people= more shows imo. I kind of wish Sayu and Eri would participate a bit more. I love member interaction and more than that I love the members interacting with not just among themselves, but with others as well.

P.S: Eri's voice when saying "So please check it out." was just too cute <3

10 sentences or less please!

Waa~ lately I've been feeling lazy about posting in both my blogs but... maybe that isn't a bad thing?

I mean look at my posts, they're all at least three paragraphs o.o If I'm lazy maybe I'll write less...

I'm thinking though... is that regular for a blog post? I do have a lot to say.

But aren't blog entries usually short? Like I see most people have like 5 sentences as a blog post. I find that mind boggiling.

...

Oh great now I'm gonna end up typing a three paragraph long entry on how long blog posts are D:

Basically what I'm getting at is, I write tons of stuff for one thing, get sidetracked and bore my readers to hell (this is where your supposed to say the opposite to make me feel better).

I just really like to voice out my opinions on something, and knowing me I usually have a lot to say. Looking at my fanfics I can see that this has really effected them in a bad way <_<

While I'm in the process of writing a chapter/oneshot, I suddenly come up with this seemingly great idea that has nothing to do with the storyline and then I put it in. Then two days later I realize how I've made it worse instead by adding it in since it just takes away from the storyline and reduces that impact I wanted to give off to the reader.

I hate it when I do that!! My story then takes a different road I wanted it to go and takes away that "punch" I planned to give off. It then just becomes a huge bunch of boring crap... seriously I think some of my fics haven't been my best lol (only though I've written only 5 so far ^_^; ).

Well enough about that! Just do your jobs as readers and read my posts please! (no matter how long they are). If you want, just stop reading this blog, I could care less. I DO care though, if you read my fics.

Please give me feedback! (*points to link to fanfic blog on left panel*---> )

Morning Musume 40th single, 1st B-side: "Aki Urara"

Morning Musume's 1st b-side for Nanchatte Renai, "Aki Urara" had been released, here is the full preview.

Aki Urara - Morning Musume

Golly, can you say seductive? Their voices all have that airy quality when singing that it seems really irresistable when you listen to it.

I really loved the chorus. The "Aki urara, koi urara ka" part was extremely catchy and had me humming it throughout the house for a good while, heck I still am. The instrumental was also really nice, especially the extra bass added in it. It gives this soft song a harder edge and impact when listened to. The intro was also nice. It kind of had added in that old-school momusu feel everyone has been talking about.

I have to say everytime I did listen to this song I had to do a double take during the harmonizing parts. Junjun's and Linlin's voices were almost unrecognizable since they were so good! Their accents is what makes them noticeable if you've listened to the song closely, and I'm actually glad they had a few joint lines in this song. Woot pandas!! :D

This is probably my favourite b-side to date as I'm not that fond of momusu b-sides. "3, 2, 1 BREAKIN' OUT" was awesome, but because of the massive overplay during the opv contest and anime expo I'm actually gonna take a break from listening to it. Too much sugar is for bad for you y'know DX.

There's not much else for me to comment on this song, not much for me to critique either since I'm VERY pleased with it.

Morning Musume "Nanchatte Renai" FULL PV OUT!!

Err... well I was supposed to post this up two weeks ago but due to my massive procrastination and my brother's massive hogging of the computer it has been delayed. Now onto the actual post:

YOSSHA!! Finally the moment I've been waiting for! Morning Musume's pv release of their 40th single "Nanchatte Renai".

Nanchatte Renai PV

Damn, that was just nosebleeding worthy!! My throat kind of hurts right now from all the fangirl squealing I did, but I'm fine.
I couldn't contain myself, they were just TOO HOT!!
and now onto my big screencapping spree!!


Hmm... quite early for a Junjun solo shot don't you think? Ahh, who cares! She looks smokin' here!


One extremely sexy Ai-chan by a dirty old wall, check.


I don't know why, but I really love this foot tapping move. I guess I have a fascination with body movements going on beat

This would have been an awesome Linlin close-up if the lighting was at a different angle. Her eyebags kind of make her look older, but really its amazing how young she looks when smiling (or with no makeup).

Who knew sitting on chair could look so hot? The thing that makes me laugh about this screencap is that it totally looks like Dark-Sayu is in her element. Bow down before her you puny mortals!


Arrgh! Not the dreaded "I'm-running-around-for-no-reason" move! To me these types of dance moves totally makes the formation overall seem really messy, confusing and not only that but awkward.

See what I mean? I think it's better if they kept that part out, or thought of something else. I'm sure there's a fancy dance they could have made to match the violins.

This hairstyle really suits Gaki-san. She looks like a cute/smexy lolita girl. I love the light pink blush on her!

Koharu looking like she has to take a piss while looking great, check.

Very nice on Aika while doing the rapping. She looks natural while doing it compared to *cough*linlinkoharu*cough*

SEE??

HOT MAMAS!!!


wtf? Strange position (very photoshoppable I must say, if you know what I mean), but points to Koharu for looking good.
SOMEONE GET A MEDIC!! I was definately NOT prepared for that.


Reina was so badass here. If you guys caught the subtle eyebrow-raising she did, you would see why I thought she was being so yankee- AWESOME!

Wow, she really looks like how she did when she first joined. I feel like pinching her cheeks lol She's so cute!!

The white background was kind of blindening, but other than that I really like this concept.
Gahh, I don't really like Niigaki's outfit here. The shirt does not compliment the shorts mostly because of the cut ( and partially because it would have been better if the shorts were ironed, but thats just me).

Ai-chan's expression here looks like Eri touched her inappropriately so she

ran away rofl


Sayu looked absolutely stunning during her solo line!!

Haha, Reina looks like a fairy o.o

Yankee Musume? Their glares could kill. For reals.

Oh my, the famous "punching-the-air-while-rapping" move... dammit Koharu what did I say about being natural? Oh well, umm... atleast you tried your best

Waaahh~ Eri looks so pretty in that white outfit, with the wind blowing in her hair <3 style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hi0Bp-8tADE/SnL0ZeSNb-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/mDtmLituyZ8/s320/Capture22.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364618824615030754" border="0">
For every soloshot Junjun gets she really nails it. She's just so gorgeous.



SOOOOO HOOOT~ hehe

One of the hottest shots in the pv imo. You guys should watch this part from the start, seriously, it knocked me right off my chair XD

The shot for this line was perfect. I love the way the camera cuts off her eyes just to emphasize on the mouth, and more so, what Sayu is actually saying. It gives a really nice impact.

This hair style on Mittsi is WIN. Did she dye it black? The lighting kind of makes it look like she did... but on the cover she did dye it! hmm...

I'm sorry but I just had to cap this. Yes she looked amazing in this shot, but something about it totally had my pervy mind going (I'll leave that for you to find out why, it's really obvious lol)

MAYUGE BE- Eh? What? No beam today? Aw, dang flabbit (T.T)

O_O The look they have after turning around, especially Eri's, is FIERCE!

I know I might be attacked by a horde of Suju fangirls for saything this, but the way they position themselves in the end kind of reminds me of this photo:

Now only if we had 4 more momusu members to complete the comparison 8D (hey, let a girl dream >.> )

Overall, you can tell that I loved this pv. The camera changes were great and added something new to the usual dance shot+close up formula H!P pv's are famous for. The scenery/background was a good change too, it kind of reflects that mature image momusu is going for nowadays. The clothes were awesome, everyone looked great in them and this pv just proves once again that this line-up is one of the best looking in momusu.

Some of the things that kind of irked me were: the dancing, and the ridiculously low amount of screentime Linlin got.

I know they want the audience/fans to be able to follow the dance moves easily, but really they should also be thinking about how they lay out the dance as well. The dance can be easy to follow without it looking as messy as it is. Personally, I think that if they have to sacrifice the quality of the dance just because of the audience, I rather have them have a more difficult and better looking dance. The choreography for this was kind of... disappointing actually (except for those few moments). I definitely know momusu CAN dance though. Just look at their spring 2009 concert "platinum 9 disco". They pulled of some good choreography there.

Mentioning how Linlin got some really low screentime makes me look like a huge hyporcite because of my last post, but it seriously is a cry for help. You could hardly see Linlin in the pv at ALL. According to folks over at H!O she got what? 4 SECONDS. If I was a new fan I would hardly know she was in the group and probably think there was only 8 of them. Some of us H!P fans probably haven't notice but there are indeed some people trying to get into momusu- they're actually paying more attention to them now! I can understand her not getting as much screentime as anyone else, but the gap is so huge I can't avoid this. I stick with my statement that Linlin is seriously underrated.

For their 40th single, UFA is really pushing them hard. Momusu's profile pics have gotten that more proffesional feel and they have become very fashionable for this single. The great amount of promotion for this single is a lot (tv appearances and radio shows) considering how UFA hardly promoted current Momusu's singles before. The quality of the songs and pvs for this current line-up has GREATLT improved and is becoming more relatable to the average listener. Overall I think the effort put into Nanchatte Renai is awesome, it is their 40th afterall.

I give this pv: 9/10

GOOD JOB MOMUSU!!

Stop your darn complaining! Geez!

CAUTION: Don't like my post, then don't read it if you know you're gonna start up pointless debates.

Alright, lately SOME morning musume fans have really been getting on my nerves. All they do is complain, complain, complain about current morning musume. Even when morning musume presents them something that was really good compared to what they had in the past, they still nag and complain about what isn't right, when they can't even see the good right in front of them! All they do is complain, and they can't even praise momusu for the good they actually do.

They spend so much time comparing current momusu to old momusu and it blinds them from seeing the many improvements current momusu is actually TRYING to make. Can't you get over it? Momusu is making big changes right now and they can't stick to the old formulas they used to do, because I'm betting you would probably complain if they were to go back to their old style as well wouldn't you? Seriously I think there's no hope in pleasing Morning Musume fans. Atleast tsunku and UFA is trying their best, give them that!

This is H!P, where things don't entirely make sense which means your favourite girl will not get the deserved amount of lines or screentime most of the time and your oh-so specific requests will not be met. It's time to deal with it, Current momusu can never be old momusu again at this point, which means a new momusu will have to be made. A momusu that will be more relatable to the mainstream audience.

I understand how everyone would like to see Momusu doing their old stuff once again, but at this point I don't think they'll be trying that for a long time. The girls are growing up, please let them do that.

This is life, you take what you get, and speak up when it's necessary. You shouldn't whine and whine about things that don't deserve it. It's a waste of time.

Well those are my thoughts about this issue, I just needed to get it out of my system. It's been irritating me for a while.

JunRei? Hell yes! [UPDATED]

-Update: Video for the MC with subs has been added-

I swear from the recent Morning Musume Platinum 9 Disco conert tour, Junjun has officially convinced me that she's a total playa, ooo yeah. Aside from liking to make people happy, I guess she likes to make people happy in other terms like making lovey-dovey (sometimes perverted)comments?

Well, lately her target for her "lovey-dovey"-ness is Reina. Wow, who'd have known it? I know Junjun likes to tease the members with her compliments, but I didn't think she would actually try Reina XD It's not the first time though. From my account Junjun has said a good amount of "lovey-dovey" things to Reina:

1. Pervy Panda!!: When Reina sended all of the members a picture of her in the bathtub taking a bath(I'll leave that to your imagination) through cellphone, Junjun replied with "Uh oh! It's making me imagine a lot of things." The next day Reina asks her about it and Junjun said she actually imagined Reina being in the bath beside her. Really though, who wouldn't think that? LOL!

2. Junjun the kissing demon, and Reina dokidoki-ing QUOTE fivestar radio translation from H!O:" The final show of the tour this time was at Osaka, which was unusual. After it was all over, "Thanks for all the hard work", we went to eat Okonomiyaki. We went with our vocal and dance teachers, and we talked about a lot of things. Like things about life. Everyone had such a great time, it was so much fun! Usually we'd have Yakiniku, but this time was Okonomiyaki, which was a refreshing change. Since I haven't had it for a while, I really enjoyed it. Back then, I sat beside JunJun. She started to talk funny, somehow after drinking the alcohol. JunJun told me, "I'll become this!" She made this "Chu" shape with her lips. So I asked, "Eh, like a kissing demon?" "That's right" she replied. My heart skipped a beat. "Um, kissing demons, isn't that dangerous?" I'm still underage so I didn't drink. Looks like she drinks when she goes back to China with her female friends and relatives. "You gotta give a CHU to the person sitting next to you" as she tried to reenact it. She was acting soo girly. Well, it was all for stirring up the air. Chances like this doesn't happen to often, so I still have happy thoughts left over from it."

What's with the the heart skipping a beat Reina? and what's with the last line??!?! What do you mean by that huh?? <---As you can see I'm doing major reading between the lines here. So much that it practically makes me look like I actually do believe Reina likes Junjun ^_^ Well anyway, this bit was hot and yet adorable for me. 3. Junjun wants a kissu: Although I don't know where I can find a quote for this, I remember someone saying on H!O that during the "Platinum 9 Disco" tour, Junjun actually asked Reina for a kiss, even going to such extents such as kneeling down and asking for one XDDDDD Oh junjun, did I tell you how much you rock?

4. "I do love you": This fourth time I lost it, they're just too darn cute together!!


Arrggh! -_- I was extremely disappointed when they cut their mc, it was so fun and amusing!! They totally did it on purpose cuz' the guy pulling the sound effects is a total reina wota. Jealousy much? kidding XD I wonder how it would have went if it kept going, Reina would probably get preeettyy annoyed but I'm thinking Junjun wouldn't care and just keep teasing her, muahahaha~ ^_^; <3

And with that JunRei has officially made it to my top 5 Junjun pairings. They're so cute together, with Junjun trying to get Reina to fall for her charm and saying such inappropriate things. Although Reina acts like she doesn't like Junjun saying these types of things, it makes it all the more cuter!! :3

JUNREI FTW!!
