Cake is weird!

And They Were Doing So Well…

Oh, Momusu. And you really had me going there for a while, spazzing out, impatiently waiting your next move.

I don’t hate “Pepper Keibu.” But I don’t like it, either. It’s mildly catchy, and I have many good things to say about the PV (the legs of certain members, in particular), but the song itself? Read more »

If Cinderella Didn’t Suck…

…she’d totally sound like this.

I’m going to say something right now: I hate Cinderella. I really do. It’s my least favorite fairy tale ever, mostly because all Cinderella really does is bitch about having to pull her own weight around the house until a magical fairy godmother comes down to help her out and everything is fixed. And all Cinderella has to do is wash a few floors. (And she’s one of the 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived. Above Luke Skywalker and Batman. This is an injustice.)

Linlin’s Fashion Sense is Clearly Impeccable

And by that, I mean, nothing matches AT ALL, therefore making it one of the greatest costumes ever worn by any H!P member at any time in H!P history.

Don’t ever change, Linlin.

ETA: After further inspection, I’ve come to the conclusion that the top and the skirt aren’t so bad…it’s just that they top it off with that HAT. It’s not even the fact that it’s bold and blue, it’s that it’s a big-ass rain hat turned up so it looks like a pseudo-pirate hat.

I’m not sure whether they should fire the costumer or give them a raise just for making me laugh so hard.

My Disappointment is Resonating Horribly…Kind Of

I’m going to say this straight out: I like Resonant Blue. I really, really do. But it was just so…not what I wanted. Read more »

Corrupting Your Friends: Jpop in America

Lately, a lot of people have been introducing H!P or Jpop in general to their friends, younger siblings, etc as a sort of scientific (cough) experiment on how well Jpop - particularly of the crack-induced H!P persuasion - would fare in the United States.

A similar experiment was conducted by me…well, actually, I don’t think you could call it an experiment, as I was just trying to introduce her to my cracktastic music. I wasn’t looking for any particular pattern or anything. I just wanted someone else to know what kind of music I listened to. Read more »

I love you, I love you forever…or not. (Part II)

Give Mikan a chance!

So. First of all, I realize it’s December hey look it’s almost February isn’t Chiakii lame?, and I’m late as hell. I’ve got really no inspiration as of late. It’s not that I don’t have any real opinion or that I’m losing interest…I just can’t seem to spew out entries. Oh well.

Mikan-000006


But anyway. I’m stepping over my review of Ongaku Gatas and Berryz and Buono! and C-ute, because no matter what you all say, Momusu is the fucking flagship group of H!P and the Kids are never going to be greater than them. Do you hear me? Read more »

Happy birthday, Asukacchi.

So I have all these drafts from like October that I’m working on - and I’m really trying to get them out before the New Year, in addition to all the shit H!P’s releasing now + end of the year posts.

But this is more important.

Happy 23rd birthday to one of my favorite Momusu members, and the best damn vocalist H!P ever had - Fukuda Asuka.

On my end of the globe, it’s not till tomorrow, but it’s the 17th in Japan, and I really doubt I’ll be getting anything done tomorrow anyway. (Final exams are just fun, fun, fun all around. >_<)

I’m still mourning her graduation, by the way.

Makking Headlines I: Happy Birthday, Makocchan!

Oh, how they grow up…

MAKO27

So about two days ago, it was Makoto Ogawa’s birthday. If you know what a huge Makocchan fangirl I am, you might’ve wondered, “Where is Chiakii on this most holy of days?” Well, I will tell you: I was at school. I am on tech crew for the theater, and it has been eating up a whole ton of my schedule. So, that’s my excuse for my absence. I hope to return to bitching about H!P as always. However! This is not about me. (Wait, that’s a lie. It’s all about me, bitch.)

Anyway, so Makoto is now twenty, which is the legal age in Japan. This brings up two extremely important questions:

1. When is she coming back?
2. So is this the green light for all things pervy?

I hope Mako will return this year…if not this year, then the year after that. She’s 20 now, she can do whatever the fuck she wants. <3. Happy birthday, Makocchan!

Moving on to the other Mak of the two…
