スマイレージ 『チョトマテクダサイ！』 (MV)

End of Year Polls.

I'm sorry that i can't make this more interesting but my cousin's computer chair is really uncomfortable and giving me a really bad backache.

Anyway

In the side bar to the right, I have placed a number of polls.

The polls are:

Stand Out Member - モ (minus 9th and 10th gens), ベ, キ, マス (minus 2nd) Both Aichan and Sakitty are included

Stand Out Newcomers - Pick your top 3 members. 10th gen included as they have been active since they were announced and Kosuga Fuyuka is not included as she has not been apart of any performances

Best single - Song, Dance, PV and Costume, this includes Please Miniskirt Postwoman

And just to help you all remember who the newcomers are and what the songs were i will post them after the jump.

30 Day Idol Challenge: Days 5 - 8

Sorry i missed a few days. I'm just gonna do the ones that i missed now along with today's one.

Day 5: Favourite Group?

I blame their music for that. It was their music that got me hooked. I liked what i heard and i loved what i saw and just became hooked on them.

Day 6: Favourite Unit?

High-King. This unit features my most loved and most disliked members of H!P. But i absolutely love this unit. It has the best dancers in H!P and the best vocalists as well, not to mention it was the second unit to feature an Egg who was/still is as cute as a button.

I love the songs given to this group, C/C (Cinderella Complex), Kioku no Meiro, Destiny Love and the cover song, Diamonds, i even love watching them perform them too.

I'm hoping that that Tsunku doesn't mess this group up now that Aichan and Yuukarin are gone (i know Yuuka hasn't left yet but she never going to get the chance to perform with them again now is she?!), I'm hoeing that if he does decide to being this group back, he'll add Meimei (just for the cute factor) and either Ishida or Haruka. Ishida for her dancing and Haruka for her vocals. I really don't want Riho there because i feel that she needs to learn to put some soul into her singing.........and this group only needs one attention seeking whore and Tanaka has that spot.

Day 7: Favourite couple/duo?

There are plenty of duos in H!P but i guess that i would go with AiGaki. I think it's because of how long they have been together that i choose them. They were like the big sister and mother of MM and when Aichan graduated, i could feel how hard it was for them to say goodbye. It was the most emotional Graduation I've seen since I've become a fan.

It's going to be weird not seeing Ai in MM and when Gaki decided that it's time for her to go (or when management tell her to go), it will be another hard graduation on Sayu.

Day 8:Favourite Voice?

I couldn't decide between Ai, Linlin, Miya, Chisa and Yuuka. All of them are different and i love them all. Granted 3/5 are not my favourite members but i have ranked them all high when it comes to vocals.

Aichan's vocals are amazing and will be sorely missed, linlin was extremely underused but when it was used, she blew me away, Miyabi is the voice of Berryz and the most consistent during lives, Chisato is finally being pushed for the powerhouse that she is and Yuuka has the most cutest vocals but is able to keep up with Ai and Tanaka i High-King. It would have been nice to of had these singers in a group together but I'm hoping that Chisa and Miya get to sing a duet together soon.

Tomorrow:

The Voice You Dislike?

30 Day Idol Challenge: Day 4: If the Idol was a boy, who would be your boyfriend?

I'm not sure why i picked Maasa, but i think out of all the current members, Maasa who be the best as when it was her time on HPT and she went to Akihabara with Risako, she dressed up as a boy and i thought she looks so handsome as a boy.

Next:

Favorite Group?

30 Day Idol Challenge: Day 3: If you were a boy, who would be your girlfriend?

This was a hard one but i chose Captain because on a recent show that berikyuu was on, Miya told us about Captain's phone voice and they proceeded to do a demostration of a typical phone call and i absolutly LOVE LOVE LOVE how cute her voice was then. So if i was a boy, i would want to hear my girlfriend speak that cute to me on the phone.

Plus she's tiny. I love tiny girls (minus Momoworld)

next:

If the Idol was a boy, who would be your boyfriend?

30 Day Idol Challenge: Day 2:The Idol You Hate/Dislike

I was unable to update yesterday due to my Laptop deciding that it's had enough of me. Just when the internet finally stops being a pain.

I don't hate her i just don't have any feelings towards her. I find her character confusing and her dress sense at time verging on slutty. I'm also not a big fan of her vocals and hair style.

I can take her vocals during group songs because than i can focus on other girls but when it's just her i can't take it.

Not to mention that I'm also not a big fan of some of fans (actually I'm not a big fan of fans who can't take it when someone does not like their favourite idol. I like to explain myself because i feel that you need to justify why you either like/dislike something/one. I just don't like people for the sake of it. for instances, I dislike the colour pink, peas, broccoli and anything else green but i love Chisato, Sayumi  and Risa and i like Yurina and Airi, just because i have a hatred for those colours doesn't mean i hate the idols who has them as member colours.)

Next:

If you are or were a boy, who would be your girlfriend?

30 Day Idol Challenge: Day 1: Your Favourite Idol

I've been planning on doing this for a while but......I've been lazy. So while i can only manage to load like 1 picture before my Internet connection decides that it wants to be an ares and take forever to do anything, I'll start.

So my favourite idol is......

Saki Shimizu, Captain of Berryz Koubou and the cutest 20 yr old i have ever seen.

After my fascination with Momoworld finished, she was the second member of Berryz that i saw and i fell for her. I'm not sure what it was that made me take to her but she has become my NO#1 member of H!P. She is also the only member of H!P that i own a Photo Book of.

Tomorrows Question is....

The Idol You Hate/Dislike.

By the way. Please support Airiindeshou DVD Donation Project.

If you have been watching any of the TPF subs, you'll know Airiindeshou as one of the members who works on their releases. This project to to get H!P DVD's, mainly concerts, out to us international fans around the day they are released. All money raised will go to the purchase of these DVD's and the DVD's will become the prise for contests to those who have donated $5 and over (about £3.23). Personally, i don't usually do this donating thing but considering how expensive it is for these DVD's and Blue-Rays are plus shipping, I'm willing to support this as my budget is so small that by the time i want to but one of these DVD's, I've run out of money.

Please go to this blog as it also has downloads for loads of other past concerts plus download links for various TV spots that our girls have been on.

Thank you for listening to my request. The link above is for the Q&A about this project.

Please Miniskirt Postwoman? I want more of this.

I can't believe i'm writing this while completely exhausted. My fault reall for not getting enough sleep due to watching the MBCMS event on Nicox2 at 4 in the morning (and i had to look after my aunts shop for 8 hours as well).

Anyways, a few days ago, S/mileage staff uploaded a rehearsal video for their new single Please Miniskirt Postwoman and i'm really excited about this single.

This single marks the offical debut for 2nd gen and the last for Yuukarin. It's released on the same day as Kikkawa You's new single Konna Watashi de Yokattara on December 28th, 3 days before Yuukarin graduates beaning a nice friendly battle between former eggs and Yuukarin not being able to celebrate with the girl when the weekly ranking comes in.





Ok, So obivious this is a rehearsal, REMEMER THAT!!!! They will get better with more practice.

The song is, in my opinion, is their best to date. It's catchy, super cute and keep with the S/mileage theme of putting a smile on your face. The line distrubution is quite fair i'd say. Cinderella, Meimei and Takechan get the most lines and i have to say that both Meimei (who is growing on me) and Takechan are the stand outs. It's quite obvious that management is pushing Meimei and here is where i fell that she deserves it. She fits the s/mileage image perfectly even if she does scares the living daylights out of me. Her singing has improved greatly, she's learned to tone down her projection while improving her tone and pitch.

Takechan is a surprise for me. What i mean is, while she is the best singer and dancer out of 2nd gen, i thought that we'd have another Riho/Fukuchan situation (where Fukuchan is the most experienced and overall better talent, Riho is getting all the promotion), expecting management to push Kanana a bit more, but this is good. She's a strong singer, something S/mileage has been missing since Sakitty left.

Kanana only gets one solo line and i'm quite thankful for that as she is the weakest singer in the group. She has improved but i still think that she should have either beed left as a sub member or demoted to the eggs.

Katsuta is forgetfull. I completely forget what she sounds like as soon as she's finished her solo lines. Another girl that should not have been promoted.

Yuukarin doesn't get as many lines in this single as she usually does, this is mainly due to her leaving soon. a few people have commented on youtube about her not singing as much and i think that it's fair as mamagement need to distrubute her line between the other girls and the less lines she has the less of a problem it'll be.

I'm loving the DAWA/Meimei combo. It's cuteness overload and having this combo in the beginning, middle and end of the song means you can't escape these Fang Toothed Wacky Cuties or Team Fang as i will mow call them.

This single has the most complicated dance routine S/mileage has ever had but it fits the song so well. I especially like Team Fang's parts and when they all sing "Please, Please". Unfortunately Kanana is the worst in this video as she is all over the place and forgets the dance. But she's not the only one. If you take your eyes away from her, you will see that Yuuka, Meimi and Rina alson mess up a bit but not as badly. you have to give her a chance as she is the member with the lease dance experience and she has said that she struggles with learning the dances.

This video was posted on monday and their first perfoemance was dueing the event yesterday. This video was made when they just learnt the dance so judging from the timeline (Oct 16th - Promotion of Sub-members and single announcement - Nov 23rd MBCMS event), they have had to learn the song, have singing lessons on the song, record the song, learn the dance and perfect the dance with heels while doing rehearsals, performances and interviews for MBCMS and rehearsals for the upcoming H!P winter tour. Kanana didn't mess up during the live from what i could see which means she got 10x better.

I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS COSTUME!!!!!!

With the exception of Shortcut stage and Pig song costumes, S/mileage never disappoints. I'm loving this costume. it's clear where UFA spend their money.

I'm really excited for this single and can not wait till were get a view of the PV. Hopefully it's better than Tachiagirl's PV (Which is an utter pile of shit)
