Nono is one of my FAVORITE H!P artists ever.
Anyway did anyone see them on Best Artist 2007? I felt bad because it was mainly Ai singing even though they had a reunion of so many H!P artists, not all of them mind you but quite a few of them. I always forget how short everyone when i see Koharu hovering over some of the girls and she's not even that tall.

Yup I watched it. It's definitely a better performance than FNS. At least the outfits were nicer and having the clothes change was a good touch Ai is always being focused on, I kinda got used to it I saw a lot of Reina and Aika as well. And quite a bit of Koharu too. Koharu's about 166 cm (?) Not that tall really but next to the other girls she looks like a tree Is she taller or is Sayumi taller now?

Those pics of baby Noa are so adorable! I wonder if pics of her face will ever surface? Or are her parents keeping her away from the public eye until she gets older.

And finally we get to see the Kouhaku performance.

I gotta admit I didn't really like it the first time I watched it but after numerous reruns I'm won over. First, the good things.
Everyone looked great, no weird hairstyles this year except Sayu and since she's so pretty it doesn't look half that bad Every MM girl had a solo line except 8 gen. The different color outfits for the 3 groups (MM, Berryz and C-ute) made differentiating them easier on the stage when everyone's running around. Costume change is a big plus and always fun. The Peace! break was cool. All the Kids sang and danced amazingly. Takaiko Junjou is great every time it's being performed and this time is no different. The bit where Berryz did that kneel-sit-turn move was awesome.

Now for the blah bits. C-ute partially blocked in the beginning during the group shot. LM is used to death. And probably since it wasn't written for this line-up they sounded really weak in it (though Ai, Reina and Koharu were fine in their solos). No Momoko close-up even when she had a line. Enough with the Eggs. The yellow outfits after the change had everyone looking the same. The layman wouldn't be able to spot the girl they thought was alright in the beginning. That Lalalala song....where's it from? They should've ended with ONSA. Oh yeah, and 20 sec each for the 2 groups appearing for the first time is .

Oh well, but I have to say I'm glad H!P still gets invited on the show.

[amydien]

I just saw their kouhaku performance. I personally think it was ok. However, I kinda feel sorry for Berryz & C-ute....I wish they had a longer performance. But then again, they were probably given a time limit, so tsunku had to squeeze all 3 group performances together. I like the different colour of costumes too. It was easy to tell who's who.

I hope 2008 is a good year for H!P as well. Enough with the scandals....let's hope they regain their glorious days! XDDD


Oh btw. I saw this on youtube while searching for hello! project concert performances:

^^^Thanks for the links and pictures everyone.^^^
Haven't seen the Kouhaku performance yet. Seems like I'm not missing out on anything though.

Looking forward to a good year for MM & H!P...07 wasn't good for them at all.
Happy belated New Year to everyone

wow no one has posted here for so long!

here's some news that's kind of old but has not been posted yet::

According to Nikkan Sports, Sanspo, Oricon, and lots more places, Iida Kaori (26), and her husband Kenji (29, former vocalist of the group 7HOUSE) are the proud parents of a new baby boy. Kaori gave birth to him on January 22nd, but the news was revealed only yesterday. The child was born at 10:45 am, and weighed 3200 grams. They have chosen not to reveal his hame, however.

To all the fans out there:

I, Iida Kaori, gave birth to a boy weighing 3200 grams on January 22nd at 10:45 am.

I've been passing each day one day at a time, waiting for this moment where I can finally say, "I can finally meet my child who has existed in my belly for so long..."

I can't begin to describe the happiness & joy I felt when I gave birth and was finally able to embrace my child, my tears just wouldn't stop. The sense of responsibility and parental love suddenly came forth all at once. I had this feeling that the only ones in this world who can protect this small life were the two of us parents.

I'm a new mother, but I'll do my best to start my child down the path toward a good life.

Please regard us kindly in the future.

Thanks for the translation! I wonder where that blog should be able to actually read?
And I'm glad also here in Soompi is some Momusu fans!

Morning Musume has a new single called "Resonant Blue" coming out April 16!!!!!

it's supposed to be a mature and cool new song along the lines of "Egao Yes Nude"

Momusu in a new musical with Takarazuka group, New H!P soloist Mano Erina, new tv show Beri Kyuu and new H!P unit Milky Way!!!

Yay! Lotsa new stuff from Hello! Project!
Im mostly excited about the Cinderella the Musical. Im sure it'll be good since they're working with Takarazuka again. However, Momusu dont have that many strong vocals now that Miki left and they cant use Yossie's boy-ish personality anymore. Im still looking forward to it though!

[Rikku]

ah they'll all rise to the occasion we can only hope!

Dohhh UP! : Resonant Blue [PV]

[ichigo_no_powder]

i'm really disappointed by Resonant Blue..with both the song and the PV. could they be any cheaper? personal bias but the PV had way too much koharu..as usual. they didn't give the other members enough shots. Ai chan is the leader so her closeups are understandable and I personally think that Reina is the next one with most star quality so she's ok too. but koharu...why =.= despite bias, bad song and cheap PV it would've still been nice to be able to see the other girls. reading the comments on hello-project.org it looks like a lot of people share the same opinion. this comment is my favourite::

I LOVE THIS NEW GROUP
"TAKAHASHI, TANAKA, KUSUMI" Ft. other random girls

it's like ever since he got married tsunku's efforts and talent have been slowly going down the drain.

[Rikku]

actually, there will be 4 versions of the Video. this is just one of them.

to be honest and real, MM has always had an ace trio.

[amydien]

^4 versions? Hopefully the remaining 3 versions would show more of the other members.

I am disappointed with the PV too. I barely saw JunJun, LinLin, & Aika. Felt sorry for Eri since she danced the best in the PV. Only saw Sayu when she said her "Help me!" line. Risa should've gotten more screentime too, she looked pretty and smiling and dancing well along with Eri.
I wont complain about the 3 front members since they seem to already got enough criticism from other fans.

I like the song, it's really catchy and definitely a step-up from Mikan. However, I've noticed that since Yossie's graduation and Miki's resignation, the unequal distribution of song lines had been more obvious. I know Momusu's always been like this, strong vocals get to sing more, but atleast I was able to hear 1 or 2 lines from the others. But in the new Momusu, it's more evident. Im expecting higher sales for Resonant Blue though. I hope Momusu can regain their glory this year
