H!P Winter 2010 Concert, Part 3

Finally updated!! I'm sorry, school gets in the way too much. Like I've mentioned previously, because YouTube is evil, I can't see the whole concert, but oh well. The next song was by Guardians 4, called Going On! Now I must admit that I hadn't actually listened to Guardians 4 before, so I didn't know what to expect. But my GOD they're AWESOME! Their voices work perfectly together! (At least I think so) They knew which girls would work best together for Guardians 4. Plus Risako sounds better than usual. So it's very awesome.


As the lights go on you can see that they're wearing the yellow version of their outfits. Yellow, red, green or blue is awesome, they all suit all the girls fine anyway. Well, apart from Aika, but that's because the idiots fecked with her hair.


I'm still not too fond of Risako's fringe, but it does suit the outfit very well.


See? They screwed up Aika's hair. Although, if you ask me, she should've kept her hairstyle from Egao YES Nude:

See what I mean? Her previous hairstyle was so much cuter...


Yurina's looking beautiful, like usual.


Same for Naki. (Naki = Well known nickname for Saki Nakajima)


Seriously, what the FUCK have they done with her hair!?


Ahh, Risako hair, much better. XD


Yurina hair!! SO MUCH BETTER. XD Anyway, I should continue with the actual song and video, not just concentrating on their hair.


Yurina's legs are looking pretty gorgeous.


Yurina's height, once again conquering all.


Naki puts her heart and soul into singing this song. But seriously though, because I don't really listen to C-ute, I've never really heard her voice properly before. And I really do love it.



I really do love this song. And the dance is petty awesome too. Just overall epicness.


Yurina's legs really are awesome. XD


Both the wotas and the H!P girls seem to love this song, and I can't blame them.


Risako's voice really is more epic than usual.

But yeah, anyway, the whole thing is awesome, but there's only so many pictures I want to put in each post so I'll move on to Aa!'s song FIRST KISS!

Ok, so when I go through a video on here, I always watch the whole thing straight through first. I gotta say, If you didn't know or didn't like Airi Suzuki before, MY GOD you will love her now. I'm at a loss. When did she get so sexy!? Not that I'm complaining...


The 3 girls, Akari Soho, Airi Suzuki and Miyabi Natsuyaki (They're in that order form left to right on the stage) start the song off by body rolling and the camera shows the girls' legs. OH HELL YES.


Hasn't been 25 seconds and this song and dance is already unbelievably sexy. Oh and also, AIRI LEGS!! *noesbleed*


Airi's hair is still very epic, and her voice is sounding a lot more mature, which is awesome.


I had no idea who Akari Saho was before this concert, and I already adore her. She's cute and her voice is amazing.


Still prefer's Miyabi's short, straighter hair, but her hat is looking awesome.


AIRI LEGS. Again. XD Actually, all of thier legs are looking delicious. =D


Airi's voice has never been so epic.


Anyone else LOVING how short the skirts are. Especially Airi.


From what I can see, they have pictures of themselves on their tops.


Akari's hat is pretty cute.


Airi's voice isn't the only one that's matured. Miyabi's singing is wonderful as well. Unfortunately I can't comment on Akari's voice improving as I've never heard it before. But I will say that all 3 girls' voices are amazing, they sound mature and superb.


Airi hits possibly the highest note I've ever heard. (Excluding opera)


Miyabi finishes the song beautifully.

Out of the two songs I've just written about I must say that I adore FIRST KISS! about 573057204 times more. I absolutely love Aa! I hope they release a new single soon. Anywya, I have the two songs just below. I recommend both of them, just FIRST KISS! more...XD

The Obligatory (Yet Late) Post

Yesterday, was the 12th of April, and a couple things took place. Yesterday, twas indeed, my birthday, and Airi Suzuki's birthday AND Hitomi Yoshizawa. I warn you now, this post contains: picspam, Airi, Hitomi, Dir en Grey, Alice Nine and Gackt...in that order! :D (Well picspam will be consistent throughout...)

First of all, Airi! Yesterday was her 16th! This case is a bit like Risako...I wonder if this changes anyone's opinion of her? To be honest she's just too cute, the kind of person you'd love to hug, but feel terrible if you thought of her any other way, you know what I mean? Just look at her!





Airi's on the left.

Airi's in the middle. (And looking absolutely gorgeous in this picture)

Seriously, she's adorable. She says her charm point is her ears, and I totally agree.

So let's celebrate this amazing girl's 16 birthday!! You, yes YOU can even say happy birthday to her!!

I feel like I've become part of something now, it's strange. XD You have a time limit though. The site/fan messaging thing is only open till the 18th of April! So hurry up! XD

ONTO HITOMI YOSHIZAWA (A.K.A Yossie. I'll be referring to her like this)
What can I say, she's very VERY awesome. She was and always will be THE tomboy in Morning Musume, and her voice is addictive. She's gorgeous too. She's just full of win. I wish she never left Morning Musume...





Yossie in leather is always good. :D


She's beautiful and awesome, Yossie, does in fact epically win. I really do love Yossie. I feel so sorry for her. I previously said I wish she never left Morning Musume, and I really do, but I'm pretty sure she left because of her younger brother. Her younger brother died in a car crash when he was 16, January 11th 2007. She left Morning Musume May 6th 2007. Yeah, this is starting to get depressing, so I'll move on to the Dir en Grey, Alice Nine and Gackt part of this post!

Like I wrote before, not only was it Yossie's and Airi's birthday yesterday, but it was also mine! Although I got more than 3 CDs, the rest of the presents aren't to do with Japanese music. (A good amount of it was still Japanese though. For I am an otaku. :D) Anyway, I know that these CDs have been out for a little while, but there are still all awesome.

Dir en Grey - Vulgar


I LOVE this album. I recommend this to anyone who loves Visual Kei. Or just Japanese rock, this album is pure AWESOME. I can't pick a favourite track. I love the tracks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 13.

Alice Nine - Vandalize


This album is also awesome. I love the tracks 3, 5, and 8. Admittedly this is my least favourite out of the 3 that I got, but it's still worth buying.

Gackt - Re:Born



I ADORE this album. (Album complete with two covers XD) I can't stop listening to it. This album has had quite a few bad reviews, which I just cannot understand. I can't pick a favourite, because they are all outstanding and his voice is purely amazing. I love it. It's now my favourite album of all time. IT'S EPIC.

Now that I've stopped Gackt fangirling, I shall say goodbye! I'm sorry about my fail updating. I know I should be posting about stuff, but I have crap to do. Why doesn't school recognise a holiday, as an actual holiday? I hate homework. Oh well. I promise that the next post will be centred around D'espairsRay and their now newish single. After that I will continue with the Winter concert. Oh and the poll on the left will fit into a post somewhere...

Also, another plea from me, because I'm that pathetic (but don't care :P) Can you please comment? Not just because I like comments (Even though I do) But I would love to know what you like about my blog, what you don't, what you want me posting about, what you don't, and so on so forth. SO PLEASE COMMENT :)

H!P Winter 2010 Concert, Part 1

Oh yes, it's huge. (The concert that is.) It would've been bigger if YouTube wasn't evil, so unfortunately I can't go through all of the songs. I don't know how many parts there'll be. (And because there's a huge amount to go through, I will try and tone down on the detail for each song.) All of the official Hello Project Kids were there and singing, along with the Hello Project Eggs. Admittedly I haven't watched it all yet, but from what I can see it's centred around the revival of the old groups (You'll see as I go along if you don't know what I mean.) The first part was reasonably awesome. To be honest I wasn't impressed with it first, but it's grown on me. Now I love it XD The first song was called Uwaka na Honey Pie:


The wotas are waving around their glow sticks in anticipation, like they always do.


The wotas are now chanting going hyper over the pretty light and in the anticipation of seeing their favourite idols.


Every single girl that are performing in this are on the stage in the opening. This, would have been a BITCH to choreograph. There's something like 30-50 girls here. Some as young as 11. I feel sorry for the staff had to make sure everyone was dancing correctly and so on XD


There's a lot of Maasa shown, who's definitely enjoying herself. I love it when she smiles (Yes I know the picture is fail, but I'd like to see you get a clear shot! XD)


The dance is simple but awesome. Although I can't say I like the outfits too much...


EPIC Airi hair :D


Yurina's height PWNS all. It's shots like these which make you understand why her nickname is the gentle giant. For fecks sake she's not even standing up straight where Risako (in blue) pretty much is. If my knowledge is correct, Yurina's height was last measured at 5"10 and 1/2. And still growing. Needless to say, she defeats the Japanese stereotype.


Ai is looking very epic. I don't particularly like the outfits, but she pulls it off pretty well.

Ah, member/group introductions. THIS is where I explain the group revivals. (Or at least what I understand of it.) Basically Tsunku (manager of H!P) created tons of shuffle groups with almost or all the girls in H!P were in groups. The point was to see whether he could get better music from a different mix of people. Basically he was experimenting. But all of these groups kinda just died, the last one failing 6 years ago or something. Tsunku decided that he should revive the groups, once again to experiment with sound and so he doesn't just let his groups die. Or whatever. The point is he revived these groups, but now with different members. For each group introduced, I'll show you the old and the new members. Making this post, ridiculously long.
