they're pretty.
thanks.

[Rikku]

no. we're closing that one. this will be the new updated version of the thread, because whoever made that one didn't make it quite as it should be.

Some appearances on various shows.



I wished there bigger pics of these. Gaki-san, Tanakacchi and Ai-chan = LOVE (pun not intended )



Of course everyone looks great but Gaki-san is beautiful. I love most of her clothes...and her

Ishikawa Rika is also in Ongaku Gatas? How come she wasnt in their first single?

Well done on the Momusu info! Looks very nice

[ae4azns]

Hmm I'm guessing you missed her then cause she was one of the leads in that single.


Cover for their upcoming second single in Dec.

cr:miraclefox

OMG! Thanks for posting this pic. All 3 of them look so cute, especially Gaki-san

Ishikawa Rika is also in Ongaku Gatas? How come she wasnt in their first single?

Eh? But she is. 3rd girl from the left in the top row.

Cover for their upcoming second single in Dec.

Nice cover. So far Ongaku Gatas have good songs and a really cool PV. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Just a question, is this thread purely for MM or anything under H!P?

[yunho=love]

Wow loving this new thread!! Rikku thank you for putting in time and effort into this! I just watched the Mikan performance and I really enjoyed it Mikan is my favorite song of 2007! Also there is supposed to be a big announcement on Haromoni next week. I am not sure what its going to be but I have a feeling its going to be new auditions or something to do with Haromoni's time length I think they will make it longer. Someone mentioned that it could be about Makoto coming back but I don't think they would announce that on a Haromoni show because they didn't with Konkon.

[ae4azns]

Just a question, is this thread purely for MM or anything under H!P?

I don't think it is, Ongaku Gatas is still MM related since 3 of them are former members from MM.
IMO covering all H!P members would be too much.
Just current and former MM members should be fine.

[Rikku]

if you like groups like Berryz, C-ute and Ongaku Gatas, don't be afraid. start a thread for them as well!

then after confirmation, click close.

Thank you! please help MM fans everywhere vote!

[ae4azns]

Berryz and C-ute are entirely different but not Ongaku Gatas.
I don't see anything wrong with mentioning them once in awhile, it'll help keep the thread more active.
IMO the older generations of Musumes have the larger fanbase but it'd be hard to create a topic for them since they are scattered in different activities.

On the 23rd MM will be on Music Japan.
Not sure if they have any other appearances.
They didn't really get much airtime the last time they were on Utaban.
Taka-san and Nakai-kun pushed them off to the side...

[amydien]

Hmm I'm guessing you missed her then cause she was one of the leads in that single.

^HAHA I totally missed her!....and she was right in the middle of the front row in the PV
Maybe I was thinking of Fujimoto Miki when I posted that last night XDDD

11/29 Utaban

i'm sure they'll have a Music Fighter somewhere on there. but so far that's it.

[yunho=love]

Oh yay Utaban! I don't care much for the talk portion because we all know Nakai only cares about old MM but whatever its his lose. I am just excited for the performance!!!!!!!!! yay yay! Speaking of Ongaku Gatas there new PV is out Yattarouze! http://www.dohhhup.com/movie/SJm8AEvXJvEhJ...jkKWED/view.php

[ae4azns]

I love how H!P is finally improving on the quality of their PVs.
Glad to see Yossie, I miss her. Konkon's face has gotten skinnier, all thanks to that mask?
(Mask = referring to the time when she said she wore the mask over her face because supposedly it would make her cheeks smaller.)

Gakisan - Never Forget @ MM Tanjou 10nen Kinentai Concert Tour 2007

[Rikku]

the Gatas PV was semi-horribly cheap. but it was entertaining

[ae4azns]

Yeah it's still cheap compared to other artists but I think they're starting to actually put more money into it.
I noticed they used blue/green screens for this PV and the Mikan one. Most H!P pvs were generally just shots of their face and then cuts to the dance, repeated throughout the whole PV. But I guess it's hard to do an actual storyline based PV with so many members....and yeah Up-Front is cheap (and greedy) anyway.
Not much to say about the song but I like the outfits better than the ones for the previous single.

[Rikku]

voting for BEST ARTIST ends on 11/26. let's keep voting!
