HAHAHAHAH I AM SO NOT GOING TO MAKE IT TILL THE END. :lol:

First entry post, this doesn't count as double post okay :lol:


C1. Favourite current H!P group and why.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip27894.jpg)

I think I've always mainly followed the mothership even when I didn't have clear favourites and was sort of fumbling around. :D
I only truly realized how strongly they are my favourite group once I saw them live in Paris.

Even if the members change, there's something about MM that stays the same... The high level of quality idols who make you want to root for them and support them. I have so much faith in the spirit of MM to stay the same that even before knowing the 11th gen finalists, I know I will like whoever is picked.

Also, the member changes might actually be the reason why I can still be a MM fan after all these years. I am really the type of fan who gets bored after a while, at least needing a break before becoming interested again, whether we're talking about a tv show, an artist, a book series. The reason why I check for MM news here every single day is because they've managed to create a formula that keeps me interested on a daily basis. At the same time, the members don't change TOO quickly (usually), but are given good time to grow within the group until their eventual departure. I find it a healthy balance.

The girls are precious. Their enthusiasm is lovely. They are cute, pretty, beautiful. They are funny and silly, but also prove they can do almost anything if only given a chance. I'm proud of them ^__^ and also proud of the great history of MM.

Morning Musume. There were times when I have paid attention more to the other groups but Morning Musume was the group that got me into H!P, and will probably keep me from going away from it.

Junjun because i honestly believe that she won the fans with hard work and cute and charming smiles... seriously i wish she could stay a longer with the group so she can be promoted as JunJun and not as one of the 2 chinese girls... same goes for Linlin but since i was more fan of JunJun then yeah.

I have to agree with Shura and how she interacted with the group at the time and other people, I think she would have been great as a talent and the nullifying person for Sayu, and I tend to imagine if she was still around :lol:

Eripon

(http://i.imgur.com/yogyo.jpg)

Who would've thought the member who looked the most out-of-place from 9th gen would become one of the most epic and entertaining members. :lol: And yeah, I think she's also the prettiest in the 9th gen too.

She's not the best dancer and singer but she puts a lot of effort and works really hard to improve the areas that she needs to.

C1. Favourite current H!P group and why.
S/mileage - The original four girls, were about as  perfect a pairing of girls you could have in an idol group.
And frankly, I was not sure that the group would survive the loss of Saki Ogawa and Yuuka Maeda- these original four girls had practically grown up together.
And then the next bump was the immediate withdrawal of one of the new successful replacments, Fuyuka Kosuga, due to health concerns.
The other new members- Kana, Akari, Rina, & Meimi- didn't exactly get off to a fantastic start (they were fine, but the previous tightness of the unit was not there), but as so often happens with new members (even those members with previous  Egg/Trainee experience) the magic starts working, and the new members started to carve out their individual roles, and synchronize as a group.
Happy to say, S/mileage music still has that unique sound (to me), and lots of praise to Ayaka and Kanon, for keeping it all together as they went through pretty massive changes.

Morning Musume.

I'll just quote myself from 7 months ago:

Quote from: Myself (http://selective-hearing.com/selective-hearing-roundtable-thems-fighting-words-rebuttal/)

What is Morning Musume?

In my second year as a fan, I saw my favorite member graduate. If I decided back then to stop supporting Morning Musume as a fan, I wouldn’t have seen 11 more members join, seen them live in concert, gotten their autographs, shaken their hands, or seen 9 members leave. To me, Morning Musume is not just a group, it’s a proud tradition. It’s unpredictable, interesting, and exciting.

It’s versatile, capable of being cute or cool, sexy or silly, can perform in countless musical styles, and is comfortable acting or doing comedy. It’s bigger than any single member or even any single lineup of members. It’s an unbroken lineage of senior members teaching their juniors to be top-level performers. Morning Musume is a phoenix burnt in the fires of members’ graduations and reborn in the promise of new members’ potential.

Morning Musume

The group I've followed the most since becoming an H!P fan...largely influenced by the fact that it was certain Momusu members that drew me in way back in the day. A large, varied discography combined with a plethora of lovable members and hundreds upon hundreds of memorable moments from TV provided enough material to hold my interest and learn about their history. While it took me a while to warm up to newer lineups, having become a fan off of the older "golden age" stuff, I'm glad to see that the legacy continues on with these recent rookies having tons of potential for many more years of awesomeness.

Ai Kago- She entered Morning Musume as a very young girl, and coming from a broken home, she sought family with her team mates and staff. She gave out smiles, laughs, and love, always hoping for some in return.
Now a mom herself, (photo below is from her blog) , she writes at how amazing the
change and growth in her daughter is every day. Will always be rooting for Aibon, and hope she knows many
fans want ony the best for her, and that she is important.

Erina Ikuta :3

She's precious, a bit of a goofy weirdo, someone who really tries her best but is still adorably 'clumsy'. It's fun to watch her do pretty much anything because she is always Eripon.

I love her obnoxiously cutesy voice, so over-the-top and glorious.

I like the way her eyelids sometimes fall down in the middle of a conversation like she's a drowzy kitten. It's so cute.

I also think she's really pretty, a little doll, even if she's battling acne and still has trouble holding her hair straight, but that's just part of the adorable clumsiness. :lol:

Since first seeing her, I've become such a huge Hello! Project fan that I can honestly say she has changed my life.
And while I may talk more about Manochan or Fukuchan now and have been a big Junjun fan in the past, Konkon is still the most special to me.
In fact, each of my favorite members since she graduated has reminded me of her in some way.
Yet, the emotions I feel for all of them are nowhere near as deep nor complex as what I still feel for Konkon.

I'd think this is self-explanitory, but she's so wacky that it'd be impossible not to have fun.
For frolicking, there can be no other.

2. Masaki
Even though she might wander off and be a bit of trouble, she's so cute and pure.
Plus, this girl has been watching the Disney Channel since she was a kid.

3. Kuduu
We'd need her to keep an eye on Masaki lol

And the more mature version:
1. Manochan
2. Fukuchan
3. Dawa

C4. You may take 3 current H!P members to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?

Of course it has to be S/mileage members Ayaka Wada and Kanon Fukuda from the get go- they have done so many visits to promote Disneyland, they know the place inside and out, and to round it out, Kanon Suzuki- and if there are any scary rides, I won't let her go on them by herself!!

Ayaka & Kanon at Disney, looks like the Sharam Q band
members are getting a bit old!   :D

Ai-chan has been consistently great with fashion and her posing is superb in her blog pics :)

C2. Favourite current H!P member and why.
Erina Mano

A tough pick to make after Aichan left, but even though I have yet to buy any of Mano's albums, my random last-minute road trip to see her in LA was a surprisingly memorable journey in itself, and since then her combination of pure beauty, subtle charm, and sweet voice has won me over. Sadly, her time is quickly winding down as a Hello Project member, but with the great job she's been doing in the acting world it shouldn't be too difficult to keep track of her in the future.

Hard question.
Not sure which the best, since there's literally hundreds of them, but I've had quite a bit of fun with Genkimono de Ikou or any other high-energy crowd-participation songs.

Hmm, tough decision. Although I'm a big fan of Niigaki Risa, my favorite graduated H!P member would definitely be Yoshizawa Hitomi. I love her personality and stage presence. I also enjoy all the characters she had to play on the Hello!Morning theater skits.

C3. Favourite graduated H!P member and why.
I suppose it's still Aichan

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip24590.png)

The thing is, I always thought she would keep singing... Yet there hasn't been anything since her graduation, so I'm feeling a bit worried I'll forget about her.

The member whose post-grad activities have pleased me the most has of course been Rika-chan, and she is awesome.

But Aichan was my favourite H!P member for a while because she is such a great performer, she's hot, I like her style and her personality (quiet, but has some shared interests with me & the best laughter. I like her interest in musicals because it makes her a little geeky lol, and I like that she at least tries to study English).

So Aichan is definitely awesome - her career just isn't meeting my expectations now :P

Mang I'd just take a bunch of the kids to have the randomest day ever.

So probably Maachan, Haruka and Eripon - Eripon because she's my fav and she must know that Gaki-san is a Disney geek :P So maybe she'd appreciate it... Maachan and Haruka so that things would be crazy and Haruka could act like a kid for at least a day. Maybe. I think all of these 3 would be great with the Disneyland spirit as well, waving to random people enthusiastically :lol:

Ai Takahashi

I had her pegged as #2 behind Yossy for the longest time, but Yossy's lack of online presence versus Aichan's constantly updated blog, as well as the more recent buzz from her graduation, led to flipping that around. What can I say, though...Aichan is cute, sexy, awkward yet friendly, possessing great stage presence and one of the best voices in Momusu history. Plus I can just stare at this photo all day... :wub:

I love the 5th Generation because of Suki Na Senpai but overall I favor 4th Generation because it was a different dynamic than the others with the introduction of personality in the group and each had a really strong point that stood out and they were the generation that caught my eye when I got into my fanhood

Let's see...Eripon since we'll bond over Gaki-san and talk about why we love her.

Next would be Riho. I think she'll be glad to be away from Sayu for a while.  :lol:

Finally...Chisato. I don't actually have a reason why I choose her. Maybe it's because of her dancing? *shrugs

Ill try to catch up
(sorry if this is a mess to read)
How I discovered H!P:

C36. Your first memory of a H!P member or video.
Mini Moni The Movie Part 1 Subtitled (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUgbLcIB_iQ#ws)
I discovered H!P through the “Mini Moni Movie”. It has  become somewhat of a cult film and it was recommended to me.
I was only gonna sample a few a minutes and I ended up watching the whole thing.  :shocked

C43. Your favourite classic H!P subgroup (Tanpopo, Pucchimoni, Minimoni).
MiniMoni.

In order to put into proper context the wanton mindfuckery of the Mini Moni movie,  I searched for more info about the group/movie on the net.
I somehow ended up repeatedly watching  several Mini Moni PV’s on youtube.
I guess I was hooked.  :shocked

C19. A favourite H!P choreography.
Mini Moni Jankenpyon
Mini Moni Spring Special 2003- Jankenpyon Live~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjXXadoOQZM#)
They’re like underwater space bunnies/crab robot hybrids.  :?

 And the choreography is neat, too.

C44. A fond Hello! Morning memory.
★nozomi in tears★ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEr39SDE_Hg#)
Nozomi in Tears
This is one of first the videos I stumbled upon while searching for Mini Moni
It’s absolutely precious.

C30. Post a picture of pretty eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/lkOhT.jpg)
And of course, I stumbled upon Ayaka’s Surprise English Lessons (and Kago’s sparkling eyes  :wub:) too.

C12. Your favourite shuffle group song.
10ninMatsuri
10NinMatsuri - Dancing! Natsu Matsuri PV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjg-U_iS4Gw#)
I tried to find where the clip where the “Nozomi in Tears” clip came from. I stumbled upon H!O and I mistakenly downloaded an Utaban video instead of  a H!M  one.
The Utaban show accompanying  this is so wild and entertaining. I think I became a fan of H!P in variety shows before I ever really got into the music.

C3. Favourite graduated H!P member and why.
TsujiKago. I was really captivated at how charismatic and funny “the crying kid with fangs” and the “the cutie with sparkling eyes”  were that they became my faves. And of course I found out later that they were great performers too.

C39. The first Morning Musume single released after you became a H!P fan, and what you thought about it.
I became a fan around early to mid 2009, so that would make "Naichau Kamo"  or “Shōganai Yume Oibito"   my first MM single.
However, the first single I sampled was “Happy Summer Wedding” as I read that it was Tsuji/Kago’s debut single. I found “HSW” weird and off putting at first but it slowly became one of my faves.  On the other hand, I still haven’t given "Naichau Kamo"  or “Shōganai Yume Oibito" a proper listen yet.

C37. Your favourite H!P-related duo act.
W
morning musume- W - Robo Kiss (pv) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1kE9nGbPwA#)
They have such terrific chemistry in their in their uptempo songs...

C42. A favourite H!P slow tempo song/ballad.
And even the slow tempo ones.
W-shiro iro wa koibito no iro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4K6NxCO8ZU#)


C6. A Morning Musume album song that you really like.
Da Di Du De Do Da Di

Da Di Du De Do Da Di (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ANFVC7yhQ#)
Probably because I heard the excellent Kago version first.

C27. Your favourite Morning Musume generation and why.

4th gen
(http://img203.echo.cx/img203/8968/mydearboy4thgen2sv.jpg)
They're just the perfect combination of looks, personality and talent.

C41. The H!P member you didn't like much at first, but like a lot now.
Morning Musume - Huge Conflict Battle in Hawaii (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kklAu2x53x8#)
One of the first H!P specials that I saw. I thought Yuko was awful at first maybe because of this video.  :lol:

Zukki, Riho, and Sayu

Zukki because she's a weirdo like me and would probably be a blast to hang around in such a crazy, imaginative place; Riho because it seems like she'd be fun to watch with Zukki around, and Sayu for a sense of balance--we'd be like a couple taking our two kids to Disneyland! :lol:

C1. Favourite current H!P group and why.

Morning Musume. I didn't really like the member line-up and music style ever since Resonant Blue. However, several graduations later and with the addition of eight awesome new members the group feels ready for a new era. Renai Hunter and 123 were pretty cool, so I'm hoping for more of that. I've been extremely lucky to have been able to shake their hands and see them perform up close. It's something I'll never forget and it will make me feel connected to the group for a long time to come.

C12. Your favourite shuffle group song.
Akagumi4 - Akai Nikkichou
Akagumi 4 - Akai Nikkichou (ENG SUB) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5HkzA6w14I#)

Not that big on Maki's weak vocals here, but I adore the song >_< One of the few songs I can almost remember all the lyrics to (I'm so lazy to learn lyrics)

C5. The best H!P song for karaoke.
Morning Musume - "Souda! We're Alive"
モーニング娘。 『そうだ！We're ALIVE』 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_zmewdR-b8#ws)
I've only ever gotten the chance to sing "Do It! Now" for karaoke, which was tons of fun itself, but I can just imagine the "DORYOKU! MIRAI!" chants to be awesome to do with a bunch of people.


C6. A Morning Musume album song that you really like.
"How Do You Like Japan? Nihon wa Donna Kanji Dekka"
Morning Musume - HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji Dekka?~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VIWn36o9dk#)
I was tempted to pick "Songs" because it's such an incredible opening track and because I actually have that album, but I'm going with "How Do You Like Japan" because I'm a sucker for hip-hop-infused funky hard rock and would love to see Momusu or any other H!P act take on that style of song again.

C2. Favourite current H!P member and why.

Man, that is a difficult one. Either Sayumi for all the years of entertainment and plenty of hot photoshoots and DVDs... or Fukuchan for bringing it on stage and, having a great idol aura and representing the next generation. Today I will go with Sayumi. She never fails to amuse me and I think she has shown a lot of growth over the years in various areas, such as singing and variety skills.

"Forever Love"

C13. Your all-time favourite H!P Egg/Trainee.
Uh oh. I have to say Akari-chan...

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip11051.jpg)
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip27613.jpg)

Akari Saho. It really is too bad that my all-time favourite Egg wasn't able to make it to either Morning Musume or S/mileage despite her talent and cute looks. :cry:

I really love Akari's voice. It's so pretty. It's fresh like spring water, lovely like a lily, sweet like honey melon. It's the #1 voice I want to hear more of in all of Jpop, that's how much I love it.
She always has a bright smile on stage - well, unless the song is cool and serious, and those times she can pull off the needed attitude as well. TL;DR SHE IS A GREAT PERFORMER.
Her dancing in UFZS is a lot of fun to watch.
I still don't know her personality well, but she seems random, which is good. lol
And of course, she's cute & pretty.

There are so many awesome Eggs that have done so well... But Akari just has to remain the #1 for me. >_<

Here's Akari in new Aa! performing Yume to Genjitsu with Miyabi and Airi:

C9. A group picture (with any members, any era) that makes you smile.

This picture in particular.....Kanon, Erina, and Riho had made it through the audition process,
but I think Mizuki did not know that she would be selected until it was annouced after
the first three girls were introduced at a concert (please correct me if I am wrong). So here
Mizuki was just sitting peacefully in her egg crate on stage, and all of sudden BOOM!
You are in Morning Musume, girl! She was happy. She cried. She smiled through her
tears. And 9th generation, as a whole have had to deal with various pressures, but
they have grown stronger and wiser because of those pressures.

C10. Your favourite Berryz Kobo music video.

To answer the eternal question: "You are 'Celeb' or Not?"
The elementary / middle school aged Berryz had to
bring their best to the fight in 「ファイティングポーズはダテじゃない！」
"Fighting Pose wa Datejanai"   (A Fighting Pose is not Showy)
The music video was cute, matched their age, and the intitial
rejections of "Celebhood" followed by acceptance was cute.
Also watch for Chinami's bad ass Mike Tyson looks at the end

C17. Your favourite H!P soloist, past or present.
Well damn...

I feel like I should answer Nacchi because she was my favourite for such a long time. But her discography just wasn't very strong and I don't even love her voice anymore the way that I used to. :(

I haven't followed her post-H!P career much... But I think I'll surprise myself with Maki Goto:

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28402.jpg)

She was really the "BoA" of H!P. The one who worked her ass off to perfect her performance both in singing and dancing, and doing both at the same time. Her solo concert tours were farking awesome (well, I mainly remember the one I have on DVD: 2004 Autumn). She may not have been as popular solo as Ayaya, but I think Maki Goto defines "Solo Artist" in Hello! Project. Perhaps a little under-appreciated during her last few years in H!P, but she was always a quality performer.

It's too bad about her personal issues. She has been, and could be such a great pop artist still.

Here's one of her songs I really like...

Maki Goto - Singapore Transit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmFPn0h_TfA#)

C7. A member who left before she really got to shine and whose departure made you sad.

Probably JunLin. They never got to do anything special. They made them fit in like regular J-pop idols, without ever letting bring something of their own into the mix. In variety they were never properly 'used' as well. Big loss.

Awww it's not on youtube. Crap, crap, crap.

Well, since I'm combining answers anyway, I'll just make this one a text post. >_<

My memorable live performance is Morning Musume doing I WISH on a charity TV show. Gocchin had just spent time with a special needs kid for the show, there was a VTR of him and others playing in the background as Momusu was performing. Of course, pretty much everyone was bawling their eyes out on stage. It was definitely a memorable moment. And I WISH is still the bawling-my-eyes-out song to me. :lol:

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28414.jpg)

Miyabi's the only girl in current H!P that I'm really genuinely attracted to. As in, I can see her on stage and think "she's HOT!!!" She's just someone I enjoy watching and her voice is lovely. I mostly like her style, too. She's the one whose goods I'd be most likely to buy in Berryz Kobo. XD

C24. The best Buono! song.

This song is so cool, even a friend who doesn't like pop music listened to all of it and liked it (she also appreciated Airi's cuteness, but yeah)

Buono! 『MY BOY』 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BAnHEUCaQg#ws)

MY BOY. I also have to give props to the girls for acing the fast singing bits. It's not that easy to do. You have to practice it to enunciate everything properly >o<
This is one of the songs I probably won't ever get tired of.

While I'm at Buono!, I might as well do this one...

C25. Your favourite C-ute member and why.
It was Chisato for a good while, but since I went to H!P concert in Tokyo it has been Airi. She was just a delight and was making me crack up during the MCs. She was really able to make the atmosphere in the hall rise sky high lol. Maybe she was being extra goofy that day, but whatever it was I loved it.

I do also really like her voice, and she is obviously very cute, but in the end it was her ~air~ or character or whatever that did me in.

Aichan & Eripon >_<

C27. Your favourite Morning Musume generation and why.
Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

All this time I haven't really had one personal favourite gen. (I used to answer 1st gen as a cop out to this question "because they started it all".) 9th or 10th gen might become one, but until then...

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28418.jpg)
5th gen is pretty solid. They are all genuinely close friends. They all seem to be in a good place in their lives which makes me happy. Gakisan, the MM fan who became the heart of MM. Aichan, the talent. Konno, the hard worker. Makochan, the spirit and joy. Overall, they all weren't my favourite members on my rankings, but they make a solid generation. It's funny how they may have been originally (and even later) considered a 'weak' generation, but I think they've had tremendous impact on what Momusu is today. And I'm glad that Konno (along with some other graduates) is showing an alternative route to some younger girls in H!P who might eventually develop other interests. They don't have to leave on bad terms to be able to reach other dreams, and they don't have to stop calling once they're gone.

C16. An awesome H!P concert outfit.

This costume has leg warmers/ leggings as well,
but the shorts, small tops work well on taller members like
Jun Jun and Koharu, but at the same time
these costumes don't make the shorty members (think Mini Moni) look squat.
Ai and Risa look nice and the Red color looks great on everyone.

C28. The H!P member you would take to a Haunted House.
Well I believe Kuro already stole what I was going to say. Take Aichan, spend the entire ROFLing at her reactions. (Although, to be honest, I might get a little scared too... Not sure...)

C29. Your favourite S/mileage member and why.
What, who comes up with these questions? Oh, that's right, I did.

I think it has to be leader Ayacho:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/t/jphip12575.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip12575.jpg)

I like her weirdo character. Also fun that she seems to be a good leader for the little ones. I feel like she's the one to watch along the years. :D She's already grown so much since her first Egg days. Her voice is adorable and she's so pretty. >_<

C17. Your favourite H!P soloist, past or present.

That is a tricky one. I loved Koharu's albums and singles, but her style is a bit one-sided and her solo career quite short.
Goto Maki has proven herself to be an epic performer, but I didn't really enjoy anything she releases since Goto Maki Captain Kouen...

I'll give it to Maki for musical talent, stage presence and on-going career.

C17. Your favourite H!P soloist, past or present.

Two choices come to mind, and neither is Maki. Maki is an incredible soloist, but she really came into her own as a soloist after leaving H!P. So my number 2 choice is Mano chan....she has done a great job, plays piano well, has had great PV's, and she gets along well with the team and she is adorable.

However have to give this one to Ayaya- she was a well known performer, and thanks to the high demand for her CM work, she really was a big part of keeping H!P in the minds of the consumers as the hysteria over Morning Musume settled into more normal fandom. And she is funny, cute, beautiful, lively...........

I would like to thank the Academy....

C32. The H!P member (past or present) you would take to a candlelight dinner.
Well that is some serious business eh!

I guess I should choose someone I've had a big crush on, but I think it just would be potentially painfully awkward. It's funny really, even all the times I had interactions with Yossi & Rika I felt so awkward, and I get embarrassed when I think about it now. Haha.

So I think I would actually choose Sayumi :shocked
Somehow I feel I could be "safe" with her. No unnecessary pressure, but still someone I'd really like to meet.
She's become quite lovely and natural and mature, I actually think it would be great.
Since it's a fantasy scenario, my Japanese would of course be better and we could talk about MM and how cute everyone is, if nothing else. And most of all, strangely, I think she would appreciate the dinner :lol:

"Aika likes dogs."
"Swimming with dolphins for Alo-Hello DVD."

I'm surprised because I thought of a lot of things related to animals & H!P when I made this question. This thing wasn't one of them. So weird. I've just pwned myself.

Roman My Dear Boy!

Actually at the time I was a bit disappointed because I had this weird image about MM/strange expectations. I thought they were still doing shit like Koi no Dance Site or sth, and then came this cool pop rock track.

After a while I did start to like it, and it really is a pretty good single. Some of the choreography is pretty cool, too. :thumbup

Lesson learned: Have NO expectations for MM singles. :lol:

Socko maybe?

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28427.jpg)

I guess I didn't think much of her at first because she was an awkward loli. When I got into H!P she was TEN YEARS OLD lol. I thought it was creepy that she was (it seemed) the most popular BK member. Then time went by and she started to become less awkward, but she had those PBs that I found just wrong, so I still tried to ignore her and there was a negative stigma attached to her.

The past couple years she's been really finding her own style, culminating in the current purple-ish hair look that I really like hahaha. I shook her hand in Tokyo a year ago and was like "whoa, that's Risako :shocked " and got a very warm vibe from her. I also liked her at the concert that I went to. I wonder how much more I would like her if I could go to H!P events on a regular basis lol. Anyway, it's fair to say that during the past year I've started to like her more and more >_< She's definitely nearing the top of my favourite list...

Like I said, I don't know them at all... Checking their pics now. Based on looks alone I'd go with Fukuda Kanon.

C42. A favourite H!P slow tempo song/ballad.
I wonder what song I was planning to post here when I was making this challenge list. I'm sure I had something in mind.

Let's go WAY WAY OLD SCHOOL!

Morning Musume - Yume no Naka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNxBXHWuesU#)

This song is beautiful :wub: The harmonies... Just everything.

Sayumi, Momoko and Zukki. It just seems like a fun cute group to hang with XD

Tanpopo :heart:

Tanpopo - Oujisama to Yuki no Yoru (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V3r9nDXuuw#)

I love the cute, heart-warming songs from the 2nd gen Tanpopo.

But 1st gen Tanpopo also had the incredibly sexy "Motto" and the often covered beautiful "Last Kiss".

All of Tanpopo is just love.

Holy crap I forgot to answer question 7!
C7. A member who left before she really got to shine and whose departure made you sad.
Linlin
Reaffirming someone else said about her for this question: yeah, she was there for four years, and yeah, she did have her moments...but damn what a waste of talent and potential. She should've easily been a co-lead with Ai and Reina on singles, instead she got pushed to the back for those and mostly given simple songs on her album spotlight tracks.

C10. Your favourite Berryz Kobo music video.
Berryz工房「流星ボーイ」 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4TCDdPI6ZA#ws)
BERRYZ IN SPAAAAAAACE!!!

C11. A hot picture of a hot H!P member (any era).
Gah, too many to pic from...I'll just go with this:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/t/jphip14312.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip14312.jpg)

C12. Your favourite shuffle group song.
Salt5 - GET UP! RAPPER
SALT5 - GET UP! Rapper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtjTbRTuT9k#)
Like I said before, I'm a sucker for that hip-hop/hard-rock mixture...this one combines that with a little bit of reggae-esque rhythm and samples of Queen's "We Will Rock You" stomps/claps. Plus the outfits are cool too.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28428.jpg)

The skits in general >__< They were so random. I didn't even watch them for my favourite members, but because they were genuinely hilarious and entertaining. They did make me notice and appreciate certain members more.

I feel mostly bad for someone like Zukki who would no doubt excel at this, that she doesn't have the same opportunities that the previous members did.

Erina Mano
Manoeri kinda wins by default, since I usually don't keep track of Eggs until they're promoted. :nervous I'm tempted to say Linlin but her time in Eggs was so short (she was only there for a brief stopover towards Momusu anyway).

      Morning Musume has always seemed to be a bit different from other idol groups and way more entertaining.
C2. Favourite current H!P member and why.
      (http://i.imgur.com/MHXbT.jpg)
      Ikuta Erina's KYness and hardcore wota style, and competitiveness makes her a force to be reckoned with especially when paired with Fukuhime.
C3. Favourite graduated H!P member and why.
      (http://i.imgur.com/P8HMn.jpg)
      Kamei Eri
      She may not be the best singer or the best technical dancer, but she was awesome at everything she did.  She had lots of charisma, was funny     
      generally the perfect idol.

Well it has to be this one:
Kamei Eri - 亀井 絵里 -- Hair Cut (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeNOnvbYroQ#)

I still have screencaps of this saved, too. :P
It was a huge change. She instantly became so much more noticeable, it's crazy. CRAZY! I was like whoa, who is this attractive girl.

Gotta be Kamei. I thought she was a bit creepy looking at first, especially during Sakura-gumi era.
I thought her 'I'm so cute' act was a bit annoying too... But at one point that changed 180%.
She's super funny, gorgeous and just very likable all around  :)

So let's take this back a bit.
I don't think there was anyone whose style was as unique as Masae's.

Since Berryz members usually float around in the lower parts of my H!P rankings, I really don't know how to answer this.
None of them really grab me, so Berryz is the only H!P group I don't really have a consistent favorite for.

At the moment, I think I have the most respect for Momoko.
She's not afraid to stand out, and you can tell she really thinks about her idol persona on a high level.
Even though her persona itself isn't all that appealing to me, I just admire her drive and mindset.

The melody shows off their vocal skills so well and I really like the two-part harmonies.

C25. Your favourite C-ute member and why.

Maimi.  I remember seeing her as an awkward-looking stick-girl and was just utterly blindsided by her beauty around the time of Namida no Iro.
In the most athletic group, she's the most athletic member, and is easily the most believable action star.

Those long legs...

Her dancing is just as intense.  In the best-dancing group, she stands out.

C50. The reason why you are a Hello! Project fan.

Gues i can't consider myself as a big H!P fan anymore but i love idols and because of that i still care... obviously since aichan graduated i did exactly was i wasn't expecting to do but alli can say is that i found something more relevant to my interests in other sides. But is also true that lately the group is getting better, must be because the new members aren't new anymore? or because Tsunku is getting inspired by the new idols so his music sounds better for me lately? i don't know but fact is i care more about H!P than AKB that already conquered Japan and is going to d othe same witha asia (or die trying)

C47. The H!P hairstyle change that was such an improvement that it made you instantly like/notice the member more.

Not really a good example since I was a Kusumi fanboy from day one, but her more adult style looked good:

1st and 2nd generations started it, 3rd and 4th generations made it explode in popularity...

But I feel that 5th generation has had the biggest and most lasting effects on the traditions and culture of Morning Musume.
Their impact has shaped how I think of Morning Musume more than any other generation.

Quote from: shirenu on August 24, 2012, 05:17:49 PM

TAKE PART IN THE HELLO! PROJECT 50 POST CHALLENGE
IN THIS THREAD!

How to post: answer to each 'challenge' question on the list. Either do one at a time or post several answers in one reply.

Wanted to do all 50 at once, but geez that's tough, especially since, for some of the more specific questions, depending on how "strong" your fanboy/fangirl-ness is for a particular H!P member/group, it's hard to come up with more than a sentence or two to say. Also, when you try to do a big endeavor like this, it's hard than it looks to go and do the whole mass at once.

So yeah, managed to get the first half done. Hopefully will get to the second half sometime within the next few days.


C1. Favourite current H!P group and why.
Morning Musume. I've said before that I believe in the concept of "leave the dance with the same person you came with". MM was what drew me into the world of JPop/JEnt and consequently, what lead me to joining JPH!P. Despite what some people may think, it's not some warped sense of "loyalty" or "stubborness" for me. My time here has exposed us all to a wide range of musical acts and what not, some of which have caused some members to "shift" their interests more to someone/something else than what they originally were interested in when they first joined. For me though, even with all I've seen/been exposed to and with all the new interests I have gained here, I still consider myself a Morning Musume fanboy first and foremost.


C2. Favourite current H!P member and why.
Probably Sayashi Riho (girl's got the on-stage confidence/presence needed to be an idol, add the numerous "little things" she does/has (like her love for cider [SHUWASHUWA PON!], her photobombing, the cute way she giggles at herself, etc) and random shit from her like THIS (http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28429.gif), and...well...yeah... :wub:


C3. Favourite graduated H!P member and why.
MIKI-SAMA! MIKI-SAMA! OSHIOKKI KIBONNU!!!
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/WotaOAD.gif)  Seriously, was there ever any doubt what I'd say to this? :P


C4. You may take 3 current H!P members to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?
Yajima Maimi - cute/hot girl glomping me during some of the rides/scary attractions, duh  8)
Sato Masaki - need an "imoto" character in the group :P
Okai Chisato - need someone to help drag Maimi into the rides/scary attractions :lol:


C5. The best H!P song for karaoke.
Probably Love Machine. Well-known by many, and vocally, easy enough that most people would be able to sing it.


C6. A Morning Musume album song that you really like.
We're talking an original MM song that was on an album, but not on a single, right? If that's the case, then for me it'd probably be INDIGO BLUE LOVE. Probably meant to be sultry/sexy in tone, but for me I found it more "soothing" than anything else.
Risa Niigaki, Eri Kamei & Reina Tanaka - INDIGO BLUE LOVE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPvwHg_itCY#ws)


There's also Aibon's version of Da Di Du De Do Da Di! from the BEST SHOT Vol.2 DVD. Yes, technically this wasn't released on an album, and YES, it was first done by the entire group on the Second Morning album. Still...I like Aibon's version better. It really suited/worked well with her voice and vocal range. Very easy, relaxing song to listen to.
ai kago - da di du de do da di (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGAMKyR3i9g#)
Morning Musume - Da Di Du De Do Da Di! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hqjrsfQ58M#)


C7. A member who left before she really got to shine and whose departure made you sad.
Most, if not all departures/graduations from the group make one sad to a certain extent. Than being said, in terms of someone leaving "before she really go to shine", I'd have to pick Murakami Megumi (http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Murakami_Megumi). She was, IMO, definitely poised and was being set up to be one of the front girls for C-ute. Unfortunately getting FRIDAY'd put a stop to that. :(


C8. A C-ute song that makes you want to dance.
I don't dance well, but for sure Tokaikko Junjou gets me bobbing my head up and down to the rhythm of the beat. :lol:
℃-ute 『都会っ子 純情』 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc9JQ8OO1RA#ws)


C9. A group picture (with any members, any era) that makes you smile.
Anything GAM. :P

Ok, ok, if I must. GIFs count as pictures, right? If so, then this (http://picroda.jphip.com/data/jphip5994.gif).  8)


C10. Your favourite Berryz Kobo music video.
I have no idea why this was what I immediately/first thought of this PV after seeing the question:
Berryz工房「行け！行け！モンキーダンス」 （MV） (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrUPFCF7OTs#ws)

I had to stop using this as my WP after a few months because I was ending up just sitting back and staring at it for minutes at a time.  :P
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip02972.jpg)


C12. Your favourite shuffle group song.
Akai Nikkichou
あか組4 - 赤い日記帳 (Akai Nikkichou) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NMiDfOSN1I#)


C13. Your all-time favourite H!P Egg/Trainee. (Note: graduates count! eg. Yui Okada, Mizuki Fukumura, Erina Mano, Kanon Fukuda...)
Probably Yuukarin (aka. Maeda Yuuka). I've never really paid attention to the trainees as much as I probably should have. Sure when one of them would get promoted or something like that, it would lead me to recognize them more, but Yuukarin was really the first that got me going "Who's that?"

C14. A cute blog picture of a H!P member, past or present.

C15. A horrible H!P concert outfit.
Too many to choose from. XD


C16. An awesome H!P concert outfit.
Military hotpants, fuck yeah.
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip28431.jpg)


C17. Your favourite H!P soloist, past or present.
Matsuura Aya. Unlike many wota who wanted her to keep her bubblegum idol image/sound forever, I actually prefer a lot of her later songs that she released when/as she tried to grow and mature as a singer. Don't get me wrong, her earlier stuff is still often fun to listen to, but when it comes to just showing off her actual singing ability, the later stuff blows the earlier stuff out of the water.


C18. Your favourite S/mileage song.
I've always liked the rock-ish vibe of this:
スマイレージ 「同じ時給で働く友達の美人ママ」 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJF6T7iACQg#ws)


C19. A favourite H!P choreography.
Can't think of a better way to describe it, other than it's the "running man" like part of Koko ni Iiruze!. Whenever they do the song in concert (especially if it's part of a big multi-group part of an H!P concert tour), this is what I look for.  :nervous


C20. A H!P member (past or present) whose personal style you like.
Nacchi. From the few times that we've seen her on TV in her own "private" outfits, she can blend cute, elegant, pretty, and sexy together easily.


C21. Your favourite Melon Kinenbi song.
ROCK ON, MELON KINENBI!!
Melon Kinenbi - Onegai Miwaku no Target (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-aZJdtwzc8#)


C22. A memorable live performance and why.
Remember when I said I preferred Aya's later "more mature singer" stuff to her earlier "bubblegum idol" stuff? Case in point. I know there are a lot of people who would find this type of performance to be "dull" and/or "boring", but there's something to be said about how she does this here, with nothing but the guitarist and tamborine to accompany her. If you want to hear Aya sing, THIS is Aya singing...pure, and unadulterated.
Aya Matsuura - Happiness(acoustic) 2006 ~Shinka no Kisetsu~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTsk5hZreqo#)


C23. Your favourite Berryz Kobo member and why.
Probably Captain. She's never really gotten the same "glory" as Socko, Miyabi, and recently Yurina have gotten, but despite that she's


C24. The best Buono! song.
No doubt there'd be debate/disagreements about what makes something the "best" song in an artist/group's repetoire, but for me personally, Renai Hunter is probably one of the few songs (not just for Buono!, but in H!P in general) that I would have a hard time getting sick of hearing.
Buono! 『恋愛♥ライダー』 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Kb0WD8kvE#ws)


C25. Your favourite C-ute member and why.
Can't really decide on this one. Chisa (Okai Chisato) is probably the one I watch for the most. Even though Maimi and Airi are the 2 main "front girls" of the group, Chisa's dancing skills (as noted by those "self-shot" videos of herself dancing that she put up on YouTube would show) as well as her strong, bold approach to her singing give her a "WTF TSUNKU! MAKE CHISA A FRONT GIRL ALREADY!" vibe.

Pepper Keibu

Honestly I had heard of Pink Lady and to kinda track it to them, it was a bummer although Ai-chan was sexy as usual in the PV

Also got to learn why they had two Chinese members :lol:

My reasons are similar to my reasons for liking Maimi.
She used to look like this:

Funky R&B stylings, Ayumi sounding as sweet as ever, memorably elaborate bass line, and even some raps thrown in by the other members.

C22. A memorable live performance and why.
Reina Revolution 21 + Nanchatte Renai Video - good_kati - MyVideo (http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6864679)

Yurina no Miya dammit, I'm just gonna say it's a tie for now: Yurina Kumai and Miyabi Natsuyaki
Yurina's tall, beautiful, fun to watch, and gives off a warm, welcoming vibe. Miyabi's a straight up knockout beauty and possesses a killer singing voice...plus she actually reached out to shake my hand in New Jersey. :P

C24. The best Buono! song.
http://soundcloud.com/j-triumf/mah-boi-remix-of-evil "My Alright Sky"
Buono! - My Alright Sky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYjZIzuSTIU#ws)
A very un-Buono-like song and essentially an Airi solo...but very reminiscent of the R&B/urban pop that I used to listen to in the late '90s, so I like.

Well there aren't too many duo acts to pick from, and certainly not many who got their own concert tour:

There's lots of one-time pairings and things like Shige-Pink & Koha-Pink, but it feels like there really isn't much choice for this question.
But just for the hell of it, I'm including this:

"100kai no Kiss
Aya Matsuura 松浦 亜弥 - 100 Kai No KISS / 2001-11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDNraEEMyH0#ws)
Kinda tempted to go with "Get Up Rapper" cuz she did her own solo version, but as far as songs that truly belong to Ayaya go this one wins for me. More of that R&B-style rhythm, with a sweet holiday/romantic vibe and a pretty cool video featuring Aya messing around with herself.

C32. The H!P member (past or present) you would take to a candlelight dinner.
Ai Takahashi
"Lovely" is always lovely, and judging by what she wore for her graduation I can somehow imagine it being a fun, casual, not-so-traditional affair, which is right up my alley. Also, refer to that blog photo that I keep posting! :P

C36. Your first memory of a H!P member or video.

I believe it was this:
モーニング娘。 『THE マンパワー！！！』 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhGkNuueyQs#ws)

I saw it playing at a friend's house.  Man, that was so long ago.

ACTUALLY, I just remembered something!
Years ago in 2002, I saw a big girl group on Kouhaku giving messages before heading onstage.
At the time I had no idea who they were, but I remembered there were a lot of them with fluffy, multi-colored costumes.
Years later, I found out it was Morning Musume!

Such beautiful voices, and even more beautiful legs... :drool: Pretty damn good album too.

C38. A H!P member's cute mole/freckle.

Of course, H!P has had a history of girls with notable moles, from very prominent (Yossy, Yuukarin) to nicely subtle (Aichan)...

C32. The H!P member (past or present) you would take to a candlelight dinner.

I would pick, Ogawa Makoto. I don't know why. It seems like we could get along and probably spend the whole dinner talking about anything and we'll just have a good time together. Probably because of how well she is with other members.

Morning Musume
Because of so many memories, so much quality entertainment, so much happiness...

C33. If you had/have small kids, this is the H!P song you would play to them for fun.
Morning Musume I Wish PV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCkC0BuE5Hw#)
still my favorite H!P song. I think even small kids might enjoy it.

C2. Favourite current H!P member and why.
(http://www32.tok2.com/home2/conplete/up/src/maturi45_1533.gif)
Sato Masaki.
I didn’t have a clear fave after Ai left. At one point, my fave was either Mizuki, Kanyon or Sayumi.  Masaki been gaining ground as my #1 fave lately. I guess it’s because the idols who makes me laugh the most are the ones who are most likely to win me over. She’s just a funny girl with a very endearing personality. I’m also fascinated by her potential, I have a feeling that she’ll  be a very special idol.

C34. Post a picture of a cute smile.
(http://i.imgur.com/TKP4H.jpg)
Maachan's mischievous smile and Ayumi's shocked expression  XD

C9. A group picture (with any members, any era) that makes you smile.

As of 07-30-12, Ayumi is still wary of Masaki raising her hands  :lol:

Sayu, Reina, Maimi. My other picks  might be a bit too young to comfortably hang out with. I might lose them in the crowd or something  :lol:

"Kimagure Princess"
モーニング娘。 『気まぐれプリンセス』 (MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jm9o8YEkmw#ws)
At the time I was still in a noob "honeymoon" phase so I was kinda excited for it. Looking back, I still like it and consider it somewhat underrated in the grand scheme of things. Plus listening to it now makes me nostalgic for those innocent days. :P

C40. Your favourite H!P photo book.
Ai Takahashi - "Katachi"
It produced gems such as this:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/t/jphip14312.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip14312.jpg)
As well as...well, see for yourself (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=24471.80). I honestly haven't really been totally on top of photobooks, but if I had to pick, that one comes to mind.

And honorable mention for being H!P-related: Rika Ishikawa - "Lucky" (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=27478.120)...Bay Area setting and Rika in a leotard??? Tough to top that.

C22. A memorable live performance and why.

C-ute, who had always been 'second' of the Hello!Project Kids to Berryz Kobou
were able to achieve a huge success with their single 都会っ子 純情 / Tokaikko Junjou,
released in October 17, 2007. The song won C-ute a nomination for Best New
Artists at the Japan Record Awards, and they performed the song at the
award show on December 30, 2007. By the time the winner was announced,
it was too late in the evening under labor law for them to be working, so they
had to wait in their dressing room, with Tsunku san standing in their place
if they won. Which they did, so he accepted the award for the girls.
In this clip C-ute's performance fo the song starts at 6:30, and then don't miss
the backstage interview of the girls starting at 13:12.

C41. The H!P member you didn't like much at first, but like a lot now.
Dare I say it? Pretty much everyone currently in Hello Project! XD
I've said it before: my interest in H!P started primarily focusing on old members and material that were long gone by the time I discovered them. But as time went on I eventually warmed up to the newer rosters, appreciating those who served under Aichan's leadership and learning to admire the H!P Kids as they grew up. Even the current new members in Momusu and S/mileage required some time for me to adapt to them while they adapted to the H!P world. Of course, it's important to point out that there has never been an H!P member I've actively disliked--the ones I like the least still have redeeming qualities in my eyes.

C42. A favourite H!P slow tempo song/ballad.
"Hare Ame Nochi Suki"
Morning Musume Sakuragumi - (1st Single) Hare Ame Nochi Suki ♥ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI4sbp_UGKA#)
There are several songs I have in mind, but this group's combining of several of Momusu's greatest voices just can't be beat.

Sometimes their bond was a little too close but omg so cute XDDD

C43. Your favourite classic H!P subgroup (Tanpopo, Pucchimoni, Minimoni).
Minimoni
Each subgroup has things going on for them, but it was awareness of Minimoni that planted the seeds for my initial H!P interest. From a random Jay Leno appearance, to the Dramatic Chipmunk, to the group's antics on Ayaka's English lessons and other TV shows...if it weren't for them I wouldn't be in this fandom. Plus you just can't beat that roster of Mari, Nono, Aibon, and Mika (and later Aichan).

C44. A fond Hello! Morning memory.
CHEESE. BOX. COOL.
Hello Morning - HaroMoni Academy English Lesson (English sub) Part 1 of 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_PECot7q2E#ws)
If there's only one Haromoni episode you can watch or show others, this is the one. Makoto's umbrella, Aichan's eyebrows, Reina's elevator, Eri's refrigerator, Miki's taxi...still hilarious to this day.

Sakichy. This is the first H!P graduation that really got to me. She was just the best singer in the group that at the time was seemingly at the verge of breaking out. It was just so sudden and unexpected that it bugged me for a long time.

C18. Your favourite S/mileage song.
Uchouten Love
S/mileage - Uchouten LOVE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK83KMTOl18#ws)
Sakichy’s last single in the group.  :cry:

Fukuda Kanon. It was really hard for me to pick out who was my fave when I just discovered S/M as everyone's an ace in that group. I think her teary-eyed performance in "Japan Record Awards" made me decide that she was my favorite among the four. Plus she looks a bit like Kago's little sister  :lol:

But maybe if Kago became a H!P soloist...

C31. Your favourite Ayaya song.
Aya Matsuura - Love Namida Iro (PV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InZzoIJmTao#)
My first Ayaya song is still my fave. I think she was promoting this during Ayaka's English Lessons  :lol:

C45. Your favourite Manoeri song.
"Onegai Dakara"
真野恵里菜 「お願いだから・・・」(MV) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0pZo3E0I98#ws)
A steady beat and otherworldly vibe with the subtle techno sound, pretty much the first song of hers that caught my attention. Plus some good memories of that random last-minute road trip to see her in LA.

C46. The H!P hairstyle that made you laugh for how bad it was.
Gaki's 2010 helmet
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip05444.jpg)
It didn't bother me that she drastically cut her hair short...but the way she styled it just didn't work for me. Ugh.

C25. Your favourite C-ute member and why.

All five of the current members have been my favorite at one time or another, because they all are
nice girls with unique charms.

MY latest big admiration is for Mai Hagiwara- because she is the kid sister who makes you proud.
She has become a beautiful young lady in the process and amidst the madness of the professional entertainment
world, she still can bring out the smiles of her fans.

Erina Ikuta
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip21612.jpg)
I don't know if the haircut itself triggered an increased interest in her, but it did coincide with a brand new Oha Suta gig (which sadly turned out to be the replacement of a departing Saki Ogawa) and further establishment of her KY character and increasing confidence in being a Morning Musume member, so I can't help but make the association.

C41. The H!P member you didn't like much at first, but like a lot now.

Sayumi.
I think some of my earliest exposure to Sayumi's personality was from Futarigoto.
This was maybe not a great way to start, since... well...
Just take a look at this:
http://www.veoh.com/watch/e124796XZa8ACqn (http://www.veoh.com/watch/e124796XZa8ACqn)

This vapid personality along with her narcissism and ear-breaking singing voice left me little to like about her.
With how unathletic and clumsy she was, it really seemed like she was a one-dimensional girl whose only redeeming quality was her pretty face.

But over the years, she has shown real depth.
Being on TV shows with her poison-tongued character, showing she can be more than just the narcissist character.
Hearing about her lonely childhood and her underlying lack of self esteem really made her seem like a real person.

Then when the 9th gen joined, she was their biggest promoter on her blog.
Seeing just how caring, insecure, and hardworking she really is really changed my perception of her in the last few years.

Now I'm really glad she's the leader.
Instead of a self-centered, empty-headed pretty face with a horrible voice, she's become this dependable, caring, and deeply considerate older sister figure in the group.
And hey, her singing even sounds better now!

C27. Your favourite Morning Musume generation and why.

No doubt on this one.........These four girls, starting from the dramatic selection and annoucement that they were chosen
to be Morning Musume members, their early work, the singing, the dancing, the comedy routines, the monomane,
and as pointed out earlier , the friendship that these four young ladies developed. They really became good friends,
and this made watching the amazing 5th generation growing day by day
into the fine young women that they have become, a real  and satisfying delight!

C49. An old H!P song you really like.
"Everyday Everywhere"
Taiyou to Ciscomoon - Everyday Everywhere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTfXyhHahAw#)
Going pre-Love Machine here with that sweet, funky late '90s R&B sound, powered by some incredible vocals and a trippy video. I was just about to pick Momusu's "Furusato" before remembering this lesser-known classic by a non-MM group.

C50. The reason why you are a Hello! Project fan.
I don't really know how to explain the early vibe and charm I felt when I first discovered H!P, but somehow I just couldn't help but stay loyal to the brand after that. So much variety and such a different world than I've been used to with my usual interests. I'm not so much an idol fan, but rather a fan of these particular idols and the brand they've been associated with. While it's not perfect, I'm still finding new ways to enjoy it all.

even before I took notice of the H!P kids, she always stood out to me. so much cuteness and charisma and even guts of steel. and I'm really happy for recent success in the variety show circuit.   And she's a really smart girl, too.

C24. The best Buono! song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imNbHokxWXY
My fave Buono song isn't a rocker. I love this song because it really showcases all of their vocal abilities.

C8. A C-ute song that makes you want to dance.

Chou Happy Song. This would be really fun to sing in a duet . I would absolutely destroy this.  :lol:

C50. The reason why you are a Hello! Project fan.
I think some of the lyrics of "Chou Happy Song" sums it up pretty well.
Because happiness (I’m happy)
More Happiness (to the point of satisfaction)
More than anyone in the world
I feel like smiling even at the silliest things...

I think that about covers it.

Kanon Suzuki - Haruka was so scared that Kanon had to do the haunted house by herself.
It would be nice for Kanon to have someone to go with the next time she
goes to the haunted house. Kanon was a good sport with Haruka, understanding
that Haruka was just not able to handle this assignment.

C29. Your favourite S/mileage member and why.

Kanon Fukuda......She has so many nice qualities, and she is
a very humble girl (despite the 'Cinderella' character that she plays
on shows)

oaxiac san mentioned that the tape of the night that S/mileage won
“Best New Artist” award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards (2010) is no longer
on YouTube. In that tape, Kanon really loses it and is crying at the shock
and joy of her team winning the award. Much like Mai Hagiwara of C-ute, when
C-ute won the same award three years earlier, Saki Ogawa keeps her head together
as the older girls cry. Saki helps Kanon make it onstage from
their seats as S/mileage is hurriedly pushed into performing the song.
Watching Kanon on that clip was amazing, and she still gives her all today.
A beautiful young lady indeed!

I always remember fondly this episode where the 3-nin Matsuri girls got to eat yakisoba coz they won some game or something. Nono didn't get to eat it, so she suddenly started crying. It was sad, but so extremely cute and then it was so moving how the older members consoled her. I think the whole thing is very sweet and moving <3

C50. The reason why you are a Hello! Project fan.

I gotta admit I've not been following the H!P groups recently, since all my favorite members are now gone. But I think I'll always consider myself an H!P fan because it's meant so much to me. H!P songs and members entertained and inspired me for almost a decade, and they always cheered me up when I was down. Being an H!P fan also led me to JPH!P 7 years ago, where I've made so many amazing friendships. So to summarize, H!P will always have a very special place in my heart! <3



WOOOT, can't believe I finished the challenge!!!!!

Berryz Kobo

(http://picr.berikyuu.com/di/3GCD/4d92fd571f848eb63ae3481cf7d60608.jpg)

It's my favorite group for 6 years now, that's basically the reason nowadays :lol:
When I got into them they had - for me - the best songs within H!P and with those were most close to the music of my previous favorite group.
Also the youthful spirit, when you watched the making ofs, tv shows, dvd mags you always had a fun time... wishing you could jump right into the video and join them or wishing your childhood would have been like that sometimes.

Now I still like most of their music but everything has changed. Guess everyone knows this feeling.
It's more centered towards my favorite member, the next "challenge".

However, when there is a H!P concert or something like that, seeing a Berryz member on stage is always the best.
Best as in, a unique feeling I can't describe very well... maybe like when you are alone/lost in a big city and after some time bump into someone you know.

C35. Animals and H!P. What's the first thing that comes to your mind?

Not really a favorite Rika clip, but with animals the first thing I do think of is Rika and the chickens.

Rika is very afraid of chickens (which had been demonstrated in previous shows- she really breaks down if she gets put near a chicken), and in this episode there was a hypnotist who supposedly took away her fear.
The show was actually uncomfortable for the other girls to watch, as they knew that Rika had this fear.
The comedians in the background did not help the situation by with their constant noise and lack of ability
to actually be funny.
 
But it looks like the hypnotist was very effective.

Not one specific memory, but getting to know the group by watching Utaban and Hello! Morning on YouTube.

This episode of Utaban is probably around late 2001 early 2002...but I probably started watching these episodes a couple of years later.
Same with the first time I heard "Love Machine", it was well after it had been released, but it was new to me, and the songs and the comedy had me hooked

Watching the 5th generation trolling the rest of the girls is priceless:

(http://picr.berikyuu.com/dm/0LHL/momochi-cutechouhappy-1.jpg) (http://picr.berikyuu.com/di/0LHL/momochi-cutechouhappy-1.jpg)

Oshi or long Oshimen, the Japanese (wotaslang) term for favorite/most supported member, is very popular among foreigners nowadays.
I prefer the old-fashioned gaijin and prolly 2D styled term waifu (note: calling your favorite your future wife is also not unknown to the Japanese though :sweatdrop:) when not just calling her fav(orite).

She's not just a favorite, not just the idol/member I support the most.
She's THAT girl, THAT woman.
Even more than with Berryz Kobo, Momochi is my member forever.
It's like Berryz Kobo is the religion and Momochi the goddess. Every once in a while I promise to myself that I'll never betray her and keep supporting her after a graduation or her doing something I don't like.

Why~?
The very first Berryz member that caught my attention was Chinami. That was before I knew the members. I still like Chinami today but not as much obviously.
So next was Momoko (now Momochi :P), she got my attention not only by her looks and actions but also by her name. I loved the name Momoko before I knew her.
Now in addition to always being genki she is also crazy :lol: she has the sense of humor I really like a lot.
People still always talk about her being fake or something but I think that only happens when you look at the surface.
When you know her from earlier days and take everything into consideration she is just a very intelligent and beautiful young woman who does her job at perfection.
Well job might even be the wrong term, seems to be more like her vocation.

Momochi is the person who got me out of my nutshell to go to Japan twice, Paris and (lol) Stockholm once.
I love hearing her voice and looking at her... hearing her feels probably like it does when a new born hears the voice of the mother  :lol:
By her being an idol and doing what she does she has given me so much joy, fun and excitement over the years that this alone deserves my best support for her for a very long time.

tl;dr momochi is above almost everything in my life (also real life)

C3. Favourite graduated H!P member and why.
A shorter one but also somewhat important.
Kago Ai
Although Maiha as former Berryz member is also important, Kago Ai is one of a few reasons why I got into H!P at all.
Similar to Momochi I enjoyed her cuteness combined with craziness and because she's kinda responsible for my fandom it's fair to mention her as favorite graduated member.

C29. Your favourite S/mileage member and why.

C3. Favourite graduated H!P member and why.
Niigaki-san

(http://i.imgur.com/Q1y3Q.jpg)

She's not really the best singer or dancer, or the prettiest, but I was impressed by her love and dedication to the group. She even sacrificed graduating together with Ai-chan so she can help the new members grow until her last day as the leader.


C4. You may take 3 current H!P members to Tokyo Disneyland to frolic around. Whom do you take and why?

Kanon - definitely gonna need someone who is familiar with the area so who else to bring but Cinderella herself
Chisato - need someone who won't be afraid to get on the scary rides
Masaki - it's not a fun day in a theme park if you don't have someone in your group that runs off ahead everyone and at the end she gets lost and you'll have to find her :lol:

C39. The first Morning Musume single released after you became a H!P fan, and what you thought about it.
Cannot remember because I was checking out so much of their past singles at the same time as discovering their newer songs, plus watching Hello! Morning, so I get the time frame a little bit mixed up.

C40. Your favourite H!P photo book.

KAGO ai
GO ON THE JOURNEY!

This thread is REOPENED for the duration of the Post Whoring Olympics (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=36167.0)!

Note that if you completed the challenge last year, you can't do it again! (This means I can't do it again, either!)

I did notice a lot of people weren't able to finish, or even get started, so this is your chance. :heart:  :hip smile:

C5. The best H!P song for karaoke.
Aenai Nagai Nichiyōbi and Zutto Suki de Ii desu ka. Pretty powerful songs so I wouldn't dare butcher them in karaoke

C6. A Morning Musume album song that you really like.
Be Alive. If not for Oda-chan I would not have discovered this gem of a song. :nervous

C7. A member who left before she really got to shine and whose departure made you sad.
Maiha. Even if she wouldn't get that many lines in the songs, she can probably contribute in other things. Berryz is doing good right now but I wonder how they would've turned out if Maiha was around. (yurushitenyan would probably be funnier if Momo had a gag partner)

C8. A C-ute song that makes you want to dance.
Dance de Bakoon. Invisible Guitar! :lol:

C9. A group picture (with any members, any era) that makes you smile.

C10. Your favourite Berryz Kobo music video.
ジンギスカン×Berryz工房「ジンギスカン　タルタルミックス」（β Ver.） (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_loSf9TCxo#)

The other versions has kids and costume changes but this one has DANCING SHEEP!

C11. A hot picture of a hot H!P member (any era).

her thighs didn't make it to the picture but if Eri was staring at me like that, it's GG
