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), ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/11/21/and-they-were-doing-so-well/ Okay, so I have a lot of drafts I need to finish, because at this rate, Nakazawa Yuko will be dead before I'm ready to publish them. However, looking at the recent spate of calendar cover snark, I'm gonna come out and say it: I like C-ute's calendar cover. I know. I know ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/09/13/no-really/ When we last left our heroes, Sugaya Risako had just made a deal with the devil, sucking the Berryz through a wormhole. The mass of Tsugunaga Momoko and Natsuyaki Miyabi was duplicated and went zooming down a separate tunnel (presumably to Buono!). Strange things happen in this wormhole. Yurina sees a ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/08/22/genghis-khan/ A few days (weeks?) ago, I downloaded scans of Maimi's Winter Concert solo PB. If you haven't already done so, you should. Lots of Maimithigh. That said... If this was a unit, I'd buy everything they put out, and then some. They'd be High-King, but with less squeaky fail. Also? DAMN MAIMI. (Real post ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/08/22/why-do-you-taunt-me-maimibook/ A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... YIM WARS It is a time of musical unrest in the galaxy. Chiakii (who at this time is not going under that name, because at this point she has zero interest in most music in general) is wasting away her summer at ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/07/24/going-way-way-back-cherry-booms-dear-prince/ alan is one of those artists that I had always meant to try, but never really got around to it. I don't remember why. I'll bet someone in H!P released a single that I completely bashed and bitched about but still racked up 100+ listens on iTunes with. But one day, ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/07/23/im-amazed-i-really-am/ ...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 ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/07/17/if-cinderella-didnt-suck/ 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 ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/06/20/linlins-fashion-sense-is-clearly-impeccable/ 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. I was so pissed to find out that the "Ue~" was done by Takahashi, not Linlin. I mean, I really thought they were Lin's, and I was ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/06/05/my-disappointment-is-resonating-horriblykind-of/ I can't help it. I saw that written on the box in the PV, and just like when I first got Sweet Valley High #69, I snickered. I can't help it, I'm immature and horrible like that.
