You've got that right my friend!
OMG, she's getting more and more lovely.
I've been watching every showroom and Muripasu episode, (particularly the ones with my lovely Sako in it) since I started last year and I must say if you listen to enough of those documentaries and interviews/varieties, u could just pick up some Japanese along the way. Of course, mine is nowhere near the point I'm able to translate the context into proper English form at the moment but at least I get some hint of what they're talking about. It helps further if you learn a few words from blogs of kind souls who translate these idols blog posts, commentary about their events, etc.
I've had the good fortune to stumble upon PASSPO after following Hello Project for a few years since 2007. The concept of this group is certainly refreshing... Strangely enough, it was Annya that I took an interest in when I first saw her acting in Cheerfu11y along with Kikkawa Yuu and her fellow groupmates Morishi and Naomin. Thats how I found out about this wonderful group.
I'm still hoping someday that I can meet them in person (esp my oshi, Sako)
Back to those checkered costumes, I don't really like them cos when they wear it, they reminded me of the stereotypical American diner waitress. (That said, though...I wouldn't mind if Sako turned up at my table and asking me what would I like to have
)
