Placing Names with faces

I'm really bad with remembering names and faces, so it does take me a while to learn new people.

So it took me about 10 months to learnwithin H!P, all, past and present, of C-ute and Berryz, Present MM and a few OG's, Plus some eggs and soloists and with regards to AKB48, 1 name and face and 1 face.

This post is just to show you how far I've come in 12 months. This is mainly concerning Eggs and The 48's.

Here is a key to the circles in the pics

• Red - Know both name and face
• Light Blue - Know either the name or the face only
• Magenta - My favourites

So AKB being the flagship group out of the 48's is bound to have the most members that i reconise and i do admit that i haven't really started to even try to learn other members of SKE and SDN. NMB has one member and thats due to my fandoms overlaping. As for the eggs, those are the eggs that, from my research, are the ones still active as Eggs. And yes, i know that i'm never going to remember all of the members from The 48's, but at least being able to reconise either a name or face is better than nothing.

THANK YOU

Trying to give songs a chance.....

So to all fairness, i thought that i should give SKE's song a better chance and decided to watch the video again........

Can only find 46 sec previews of their song.

How stupid can their management be?

Come on! The put the FULL PV on youtube LONG before Morning Musume put up even a hint of their single up, and now they decide to take it down and put up only 46 second previews of the song? What? am i missing something here?

when you type in the title of their song １！２！３！４！　ヨロシク！this way, you get about 44 results with only the preview of the song. when typed 1, 2, 3, 4, Yoroshiku, nothing (it says 10 results but it's really nothing). When you just type SKE48 4th, you get 25 results.

Granted their preview has 136,000 views but Morning Musume have their FULL pv up and running a view count of nearly 20,000 views in 2 days and thats just off THEIR offical account. There's about 132 results when you search for モーニング娘。 女と男のララバイゲーム, 87 results for Morning musume 44th and about 150 results for Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game, all Full PV's and 1 minute previews. Majority of those videos are getting about 10,000 hits each, the first page alone has about 270,000 hits.

I have noticed that OOO48's thend to have most of the fans take down their videos or disable the audio to a video. While UFA seem to just let the videos go. To me, this is good PR for international fans as it gives us easy access to H!P and with the added bonus that UFA has their own channel as well.

(and yes i know SKE and AKB have their own channels as well but it's the same thing with them as well)

LOOK! i am tryiong to like SKE's single but no matter how many times i listen to that 46 second preview, i still turn off after 15 seconds.

Look

I tried.

Is all i can say.

How Morning/Muten Musume can win against AKB/SKE48 UPDATE

Just an Update about the current Showdowns Between MM and the 48's

How Morning/Muten Musume can win against AKB/SKE48

Now the last time AKB48 went up against Morning Musume was with River/Kimagure Princess, and AKB won, although it was a better song by far and deserved to win the no#1 spot....Unlike Ponytail to Shushu and even Heavy Rotation to a point. KP was a good song too but it just wasn't as good as River. But how can MM Beat AKB this time?

That Time Again

Can't seem to get use to using a laptop again.

Anyway, it's that time again when i reveal the results of my polls. But i have a problem with 2 of them.

I DON'T LIKE TIES FOR 1ST PLACE.

Both the Berryz and C-ute Champion polls have members tieing for 1st place. Momo and Miya, Nakky and Chisa. I've made changes to those polls so everyone can vote again. and maybe Captain can win this time.

As for the others.

Eri won the MM 6th Gen poll with 5/11 votes. Tanaka 3/11, Miki 2/11 and Sayu, the current H!P Champion of this blog, as voted by you, the readers, only got 1 vote......and that was in the last couple of days.

Kanon is the S/mileage Champion with a win of 6/17votes. Saki was close with 5/17, Ayaka had 4/17 and Yuuka, the one who got a PB and solo DVD first out of the group, the one who is "most loved" out of the group, only got 2 votes (i know, i'm being a real bitch again, sorry)

and finally the album poll

These Three ladies each got 5/19 votes while Tsuji got only 4/19. I think i'll leave this poll up untill the actual results come in.

The new polls are

MM 8th Gen Champ
