Girl sings Koi*Kana on Finnish Idol, gets through!!

[kingthaking81]

thnzx for the translation!
theyre really nice judges in finland compared to the ones we have here in holland
and that girl has such a bubbly and confident attitude . i'm glad she got through!
i'm curious how she'll cope with the theatre round. keep us updated shirenu!

Hahahah I'm glad that y'all are so supportive of her

I'm hoping that she could stick to Japanese, but I really doubt she will be allowed to. Additionally, since the perfs are with a live band or piano (well except probably for the first round in theatre), it would really narrow down her options.

During the theatre weekend, I think either she'll get kicked because she seems vocally less capable compared to some others (not that the talent in general so far has been great; it's been pretty damn disappointing actually), OR she'll make it further when she'll shine with her kirarin charm as opposed to other better singers, who are helplessly boring. LOL It'll be the old question of charisma VS vocal ability, I think (This is why I'm into H!P, because I choose cuteness/charm over vocal ability)

And I guess I should've written something and not just pasted the link on 2ch. They've completely ignored it OH WELL.


EDIT: I wonder if her getting a long & good edit might mean that she actually did ok in theatre (assuming it has already been filmed)? Then again Finnish editors generally suck and don't work like the American ones at all (ya know how you can predict 3 mins into each America's Next Top Model ep who are going to be in bottom 2). So maybe I'm just overanalyzing when there's nothing to analyze. lol

Thanks a mill for the translation noodles! I really appreciate it!

The video's been removed from youtube, so it's been uploaded to sharebee, if someone missed it & wants to see.

Or on X Factor when in the pre-interview the man/woman talks about wanting to support his/her mother(or father/son(s)/daughter(s)) and wanting to make a better life than their current one and breaks into tears whilst a Westlife or Leona Lewis ballad is playing in the background, and only to breakdown again in the actual audition after singing when Simon Cowell turns his head like some Julius Caeser and says 'You're special'.

Guaranteed to be in the final two.

As for this girl, I'm not so sure. Usually the quirky or shall I say 'odd' characters get their air time as well and usually go on to get rejected. The fact that she wasn't is probably good news but we'll have no way of knowing for sure until the program is shown. Make sure to keep us updated Shi!

I'm not too confident she'll make it further, although I'm curious to see which songs she'll pick this time. Gotta be pretty special for that special helium-module voice of hers. Some Nylon Beat songs could work.

I'm more interested in how her exposure in prime-time Finnish TV will affect the teenage crowds watching. More H!P fans on the way, perhaps...

[Odango]

Hehe, I know that girl~!!!! She's a member of O!P and is in Hanamon with me~!!! She makes our O!P family proud

I saw that yesterday on youtube.

I was kind of like "OMG H!P ON NON-JAPANESE TV!"
Now I wish someone would do it on Canadian Idol, t'would make my day.

Somone? Step up Maimai!

^
TOTALLY!!

People would run screaming from the room.
...
Now I'm considering it.
You might just live to regret that!

Also, I commented on the video posted on the other page and she replied back confirming that yes, it was indeed her.

EDIT; links are being weird on my computer T_T

[Rei-chan]

Yay~!!!! Hina is SO cute in that video!!!!! No wonder the judges loved her attitude ^o^

O!P representin' FOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!   

Ganbatte Hinaaaaaaa~!!!!! 

[Masabi]

They actually bothered to play an H!P song at the beginning (Yes! Pocky Girls)
haha wut

And it wasn't that good imho.  It was a bit fast.. and you could tell she was nervous.  She went way out of key the second time she sung too.   

[shirenuファクトリー]

A bad premise to Kohagirl, the theatre part will have one different judge... The dude who was talking about her marketability won't be there, and instead there will be a judge who got famous for being mean during a previous season of Finnish Idol. lol

Anyway she'll definitely have a hard time making it any further ^^;; This bald judge is strict about vocals.

[Saburo]

I'm impressed with the producers of this show.  Can you imagine the American incarnation letting a J-song performed in prime time?  No way in hell!

[shirenuファクトリー]

Hehehe yeah...

First ep of theatre weekend was aired. She survived the round where they're lined up & sing without bg music. But during the group round, when her group performed, they didn't do well at all They didn't show the results of who made it in this ep, but yeah.. It's not looking good for her. lol

I tried to save some clips but none of them work for some reason..... gg shirenu!!

[Stryfe]

She's still around...

[DJ Maimai]

...
Wow
That was interesting.
I can't help but admire her though.
XDDD

[Blu-Cherri]

That was cute! How awesome, she's famous

[shindoushiz]

Thanks for the upload! She has a cute singing voice and a happy personality.

I have been hearing random people burst into singing Koi Kana everywhere all winter. Places that I have encountered the Kohalove taking over the world include the swimminghall, bus stop and some times on the streets. Nobody seems know more words than 'Koi Kana', but it's nice to see how wide-spread the song is
