Originally drafted around July 10th, because Chiakii is lazy and lost her Internets and is speaking in third person, which is a good excuse!
Um. Wow. That’s really all I can say right now. Read more »

And the amount of knocked-up H!P members just grows and grows! Ayappe, Sayaka, Heike Michiyo, Tsuji…and now Iida! I woke up this morning on and on my early morning Internet check I discovered this little tidbit of news from Hello!Online. But I had school and therefore had to refrain from falling over in shock until now. Should we call her Knocked-Up Kaorin? I don’t know, it doesn’t have the same ring as Knocked-Up Nono.
Kaorin has released her official statement, but it’s not known yet if she’s coming back to H!P or music at all after this. I think she might, especially because of the 10 anniversary unit now…which reminds me, what are they going to do about that? I think they’re going to go the Tsuji route, but who’s going to replace her? I mean, isn’t the point of the 10th anniversary unit to show how the group was at its start? I’d love to see them toss Yuko and Kei in there, but they’re too old now, right? Because it’s supposed to have members representing the original five, from 13 - 24. Then again, that idea is kinda shot since I think Koharu’s 14 now and I know Kaorin’s 25. I would LOVE to see some more of Yuko or Kei-chan. They need more exposure, dammit.
I am going to cruelly and shamelessly yank this screencap from Cult of Pop to illustrate “Morning Granddaughters”…damn, haven’t the H!P girls ever heard of birth control? Condoms? Anything? I mean, I’m very excited for Kaorin and all but…God. And we thought Gocchin was the horny one. I can understand if they were married and were planning to have kids…but man. I guess it must be hard to keep your, er, needs under control if you’re in such an occupation, but come on, Iida, you’re 25 years old. Don’t say you don’t know what a condom is.

Oh, come on, I can’t have been the only one to have read that manga? You know, the one where Momo sleeps with that dude, and everyone’s yelling at him, “YOU GIGOLO!” My friend borrowed it from a library and read it to me…until a teacher found us reading it and made my friend not bring it to school again. Oh, well, anyway. Onto the other Peach Girl, known as the Great Peachy One, etc, etc, etc. (I can’t believe I didn’t get how she got that nickname until now. *dumbass*)
I’m gonna totally get shot for this, but I don’t like this PB as much as I like Airi’s. Neither Miyabi or Momoko have managed to impress me with their PBs the way Airi did. There was something very compelling about Airi’s stares in those shots. Miyabi’s and Momoko’s are just what we’ve come to expect from H!P - good amounts of bouncy, cheerful fun with a touch of bikini added in. (By the way, seeing the H!P kids in bikinis disturbed me more than seeing Nacchi in one. Because even if Nacchi has no sex appeal, at least she’s old enough to not make me feel perverted for looking…even if it’s in a totally businesslike manner.) Read more »

So once again, I come in late with a review and a look at Gyaruru and their first single - “Boom Boom Meccha Macho!”. I saw the original version on YouTube (or at least the dance shot) but I only downloaded the Story Version. Because if Jpop is going to eat away at my hard drive, then I’m only getting stuff that entertains me. Read more »
