Post Like It's October 1998

Yuko Nakazawa, the leader of MM released a solo single
And it's... ENKA



Well uhm it's pretty and hrm... If my mom was Japanese, I'm sure this would be exactly the kind of song she'd listen to
I'm still not an old auntie though!! Hohoho


There's also a new video from Michiyo Heike



ROCK'N ROLL YAEHH!! I guess because this time Heike isn't against the entire Momusu, she kinda wins this round. I kind of feel like I'm going to be murdered in my sleep for saying this though. That old leader woman can be a little scary, even if her voice is angelic >_>


WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK????!

(I'm a little sad I'm too young to remember or be involved in h!p during this time- but I enjoy reading replies )

(^ You don't need to have been a fan at that time. I only became a fan in 2004. Just use your imagination D:)

I miss Inaba, ever since she left Osaka Performance Doll. I wonder if she'll do anything else someday.

Love&Peace

The Folks at H!P are so weird to have a young idol sing songs like that. And have a member try soloing so early.
Still, it shows Yuko has the talent to lead the group. And she looks pretty cute in that kimono (um, yukata, doh.. I give up).

Heike's song is pretty good. I like the rockin' music (with the solo piano and guitar bits).
Are some of those shots from a movie or something she's in?

Kinda funny. The PV's style reminds me of a jdrama's ending theme sung by TRF.
I don't remember the name of the drama but the story was a real mindf*k with psychics, cops, dimensional rifts and madmen (at least that's how I remember it. Maybe it even warped my memory of the thing. crazy~).

At this point i feel somehow that Heike Michiyo will never ever going to be part of SharanQ...

Think it is great that they have someone as old as Yuko (25) to be the leader- for now. But you can tell she just wants get married and have kids, so I am sure she will retire in a couple of years.
 But the future of this group is Asuka Fukuda- she is only 13 years old, has a very mature voice. Imagine it is the year 2010- She will be 25 years old, probably by then they will have added two or three girls to replace a couple of the current members, but Asuka will be the one thread that connects the future to the past. The group will probably drop back down to five members, though. Eight singers in one group is just too many people to remember.

Sorry I'm a little late here.  I'm just finishing up the "GTO" drama -- damn I never knew Sorimachi Takashi could be so entertaining.  I mean, "Beach Boys" was just aight.  Poking at the "Kinpachi Sensei" construct...  Brilliant!

Anyway the Nakazawa tune IS legit -- sheesh, Horiuchi "Mustache Guy" Takao wrote the song!  What I DON'T like is how she was made to pound the pavement and go door-to-door, virtually begging people to give the song a chance.  Sheesh, she already busted her gut selling "Ai no Tane; haven't we, as fans, had ENOUGH with all this Oshin-like suffering?

We KNOW they're just regular girls trying to make it in show-biz.  I just don't want it emphasized in a way that makes them break down hard in every which way.  At some point, they're going to have to end the suffering!

Finally my school has Internet connection, but it is unusable slow. It would be great to have Internet at home.
