Title: How and when did you become a Berryz fan?
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on June 20, 2006, 03:43:47 PM
When did everyone here become a Berryz fan? :O

For me it was when Koi no jubaku came out, but I know there should be older and also newer fans here :)
I think the reason I found Koi no jubaku so likeable was that it was a serious, upbeat song and also that the girls looked so cool in the PV/Ohastar perf. I thought it was impressive such young girls could be so kakkoii/cool/whatever :lol: (Especially Miyabi, I think she's like the queen of "cool")


EDIT: Replied this to Berryz thread at first,  but now I thought might as well turn it into a topic >_> Thanks to Asmodeus for splitting!!!

When did you become a Momoko fan, tama-chan? ^___^ Or Miyabisama fan? ^_____^

(Actually I know the answer to the Momo one, but I'm just trying to start a conversation here omg)

Hmm... I got interested because of Gag, I guess, then followed closely by Jiriri. Before Gag, the only song of them I ever dl-ed was Semi because everyone kept saying how good it was (and I love the song). Gag is cute, funny, catchy, easy to listen to, and everyone looks good in the pv. After being exposed to Gag, it was like an H!P downtime for me, so my interest stayed with them. Then there came the awesomeness, Jiriri. This single made me realise that they weren't just a kiddy group anymore. Berryz's awesomeness + other acts' letdown led to my Berryz fandom. And another thing (I think I talked about this with you before) is that the whole sexify thing going on in H!P right now bores me. It's like all the acts now try to do the same thing. Just makes Berryz different for me.

I was introduced to Berryz last year but I never really got into them since I was still catching up on MM and H!P info. It was only until after I've heard Piriri to Ikou(about 4 months ago?) that I really started to get more interested and I haven't looked back ever since. I fancy Maasa. She's CUTE.. :drool:

SUPPESHARU JENERESHON LOVE~

... so yeah, I've been a Berryz fan since the beginning of 2005. :lol: I saw the PV for Special Generation and just thought it was awesome with the choreography and all. And then I caught up with their older stuff that I'd been ignoring earlier for some reason.

I've known about Berryz for as long as i've known about Morning Musume (more than a year now - thanks jps tv! :lol:), but I didn't really care for them back then. I still listened to their singles as they came out, but nothing I couldn't go without. Then Gag came out.. I practically had that song on repeat for a couple days after it came out. That's also when I discovered how awesome Chinami is. :inlove:

When a friend introduce me to Jpop in debut 2004, I was (and I always am) a fan of young singer.
I searched on a site some groups to listen because my friend just send me songs of few groups (SweetS & Earth). And I found a Berryz page.
They've just released Anata nashide wa sekite yukenai. I downloaded the song and I loved it. After that I decided to follow the group in their career.
So I am a Berryz fan since teir beginning.

In the beginning, my world was centered around Morning Musume and I was afraid that if I would explore the other H!P groups, my interest for them would fade away.

Then, on that fateful day, the inevitable happenned. I stumbled upon Koi no Jubaku on youtube...

There they were, girls wearing these bright colored outfits dancing to the beat of a catchy song. I was amazed because they were cute, yes but they were great performers as well, though they're just kids. Next thing I know, I was downloading their PVs and their singles. I like most of their songs and there was a period where my day wouldn't be complete without hearing Special Generation. :o

Up to now they keep on amazing me coz they are able to handle the pressure of being an idol at such a young age and they improve with every song that they release.

I like them more that MM now, actually.:D

for me it was....last year? marimari had hooked me up with special generation saying that it was catchy, and it sure as hell was. i fell in love with the b-side or whatever you wanna call it. about few months later i looked for the pv and liked it some more, that's when saki and risako caught my attention. Saki cause she's cute and fits in your pocket, and risako for that little hand move she does in the pv. the other girls are good too but these two just stand out imo

ya i agree....damn that sounded weird O_o but before pics of H!P members in bikini's and whatnot was an honor, but now it's done repeatedly as if they're trying too hard. hopefully berryz don't fall into that trend, and stick with their great performances.

I can't consider myself a 100% Berryz fan. I only like some of the stuff they pull out. Hapiness~ (4th single) was their first song to drew my attention. We could say that I'm interested in them because of a simple reason: I saw a great potential in Risako, and currently I'm following her improving. Also, because I prefer the person to the song, meaning that songs in H!P are randomly given and they even shuffle them in concerts, so the truly potential is still in the person. However, to keep an eye on her implies to follow Berryz evolution too, but it's all because I see an ace in Risako and I want to see how will she evolve. So my devotion goes specially to her more than to group as a whole.

I don't consider myself a Berryz fan (yet?), but I got interested when Gag came out since it was one of the cutest songs in HP, and momo's horrific yet somehow addicting voice caught me. Then Jiriri came out and I watched their MF talk and realized they're more interesting than MM now. My main interest still lies in MM, but who knows how long that's gonna last.

It all happened when I was watching Music Fighter....and these 8 little girls came on stage in prettyful pastel colored tops and skirts. Started singing about some Special Generation I didnt know....it could have been a CULT OR SOMETHING!!! O_O. lol. I was already an H!P fan before that so I was like oh look its them kids...but the song dragged me in so I looked into there older stuff and have been a BIG fan ever since. And then after looking into the past BerryZ I was wowed by the power of the MOMO. The MOMO blessed me and has been my favorite member ever since. And well now they are my favorite group in H!P. FUU~!

I hated Berryz when I first saw them. It wasn't until 'Special Generation' came out that I stopped. Whenever I heard that song in the background, it would get stuck in my head. Then, when I heard 'Nanchuu' is when I actually thought about giving them a chance. I liked '21ji' when I first heard it, and then the 'Berryz Goodies thread' (Thanks for that!) made me into a fan of them. After that I bought 'Gag', '21ji', and the 2nd album. Now I really like Berryz.

I was MIA for most of the Berryz life cycle. I saw their creation, though dissappeared into an unknown abyss before they really gained any popularity so was never really exposed to them. In my return to the light, to my surprise, there were so many berryz fans. Everywhere I looked there were berryz fans, which was completely different from all the H!P kids hate I was used to. So with on their next release, I dled "21 ji made no Cindarella". It took some time for it to grow on me, but I was hooked by the next week. So I dled some more releases and found that I really liked the music they used for their songs. I still don't don't watch many berryz vids so I still wouldn't call myself a berryz fan. But from my exposure to the group, I guess you could say I'm a fan of a couple members... >_>

I'd known about MoMosu since 4th gen but only really listened to a few of their songs, mostly Renai Revolution 21, Happy Summer Wedding and The Peace. then at the beginning of the year, someone sent me a link to the Gag dance-shot, because they knew that me, being a big queen, would love the dance! I fell in love, the dancing, the cute music, everything! Momoko was my instant favourite, but thats changed to Chinami since (:D) so then I downloaded all of BerryZ pv's and was sent their discography. I explored the rest of H!P (after seeing the Wonderful Hearts Winter concert, I had to find out more!) Then I found this site just before Warrachaou came out and I've stayed here since :)

I don't know if I'm allowed to post on this forum ;) after my numerous comments about JPH!P on JPM. but I don't care.

I became a Berryz fan the moment my brother (also active here) showed me the Special Generation PV. Before that he had told me about H!P but I never really took an interest in it. I'd only heard and seen some other H!P songs, but Special Generation had something that made it love at first sight. After that I downloaded and plundered my brothers HD for the older songs and PV's. In may 2005 I made my first order and bought 1st Cho Berryz, the single V for Special Generation (I really loved the PV) and their first PB.
In the begin my favorite was Miyabi, mostly because she was one of the most recognizable girls, but soon after that it became Momoko and that hasn't changhed until this day.
I really came into H!P and J-pop as a Berryz Koubou fan and discovered the rest after that. :)

When I first became a Musume fan (Sexy boy had just been released) I was hearing so much about Berryz I decided to YouTube 'em.  Semi was the first video I saw, I loved, and so it was set.

I'm going to be honest and say Risako was the girl that really stood out to me at first, it was only after seeing some Berryz footage (not PV's) that Chinami stood out.  Then I noticed Chinami more in the PV's, fell in love with her voice, from then on I was Chinami for ever.

I gave Berryz a try with their first single and hated it. However, the B-side was nice. So I'd say I've been a fan since then, but true Berryz love came with Piriri to Yukou, I love that song.

I'll admit that before Berryz came out, I wasn't too fond of the H!P Kids. I'm not really sure.

After Fighting Pose came out, I found the PV somewhere. I was curious and downloaded it and watched it, and after that first watch I was all "No". Then shortly after I deleted it, I suddenly realised I needed to get it back and did actually like them. Then I preordered the Piriri to Yukou single and since then every single/album/single V collections/PB/first 2 calendars/a few shirts that they have out. If they release something, I just blindly purchase it anymore I just have such love and confidence for them. :D

I'll also admit Momoko and Miyabi were my first favorites, I think I was a Miya fan more than a Momo back then for a really short while (it lasted very shortly). Since then it's hard to tell who my favorites are after Momo. I think the others are equally loved by me now, they work so well together. :heart:

I hadn't heard much Jpop at all when I discovered Hinoi Team ("Night of Fire" PV on Youtube) in the spring of 2006. Then I Googled the group and stumbled upon Ray Mecallado's blog at www.cultofpop.com (http://www.cultofpop.com/?p=81#comments). It mentioned Berryz and I don't remember which song I heard by them on Youtube first, but after having seen and heard them I was hooked. And I've been hooked on all of H!P since then, to the point of almost obsession. Thanks Ray! :heart: :D

BTW (many of you might know this but I thought I'd mention it anyway): Ray M. stopped blogging at Cultofpop and started a new blog: American Wota (http://www.americanwota.com/)
I highly recommend checking it out. :)

I liked Berryz from the start, not really much of a story to it, got Anata liked it kept getting, like Risako, couldn't stand Momoko at the start, Miyabi was kinda bleh, Saki was <3 shorties, and now they are all growing on me, though Risako is still my favorite.

I first noticed them with 'Piriri to Yukou' and I liked the song but I really laughed at the poor kids, still awkward at stage, messing up choreography and all. I used to think Momo was ugly! XD Can't believe I did, right now XD
But the real love started with 'Special Generation' when I actually learned to tell them all apart and learned their names. And then, with each following single I loved them more, I started to appreciate the progress they've been making and how they're growing more and more beautiful.

*loves her Berryz*

W's first concert with them
Well I'd started looking them up beforehand, as I wanted to know about these kids that were in W's first concert.
I first heard nacchu koi wa yatteru you know, and didn't really like it.  But then I looked into them and started liking them.  I bought the concert and they became cool to me! ^_^
Originally Risako was my favourite, but when I started following them more, Maasa took awy over.  It's hard to know much about her and Chinami without looking a bit further AND I'm glad I did ^^

I used to hate Berryz Koubou, back when I was a screaming Nono fan, back when Nono was my everything and nothing in H!P mattered to me but her.

Anyways, In the summer of 2005 I travelled to Japan, with no other purpose in mind then to go to a W concert, so I could see Nozomi Tsuji in person and with my own eyes. *everything seems to go back to Nono doesn't it.*, back on topic.

I was going to a W concert, but it wasn't just W, Berryz Koubou would be there as well, which I hated. Because I knew W wouldn't only be one stage, but the Berryz girls, that fact made me shiver, cuz Berryz seemed like a weird unit, a bunch of little H!P girls, way younger then me, so I thought. How the hell am I gonna enjoy watching a bunch of pre-teen girls on stage, I only want to watch W!!!.

but after the concert started, I admit for the first concert, I still kinda hated Berryz, but not as much, infact I kept thinking back to some of those real cool and catchy songs I heard at the concert.

Then when I went to the same concert a second time, I really really enjoyed Berryz, almost as much as I enjoyed seeing Tsuji and Kago, after the second concert, I was a Berryz MANIAC, I immediatly went to an idol shop and started to buy a whole load of Berryz merchandise.

I now own more Berryz stuff then I do other H!P girls, and I'm a screaming Momoko fan!!.

At first, I was only a momusu fan, but I wanted to know a little bit more of the rest of the H!P so I started to listen to berryz and I didn't like it at all. At that moment Special Generation was coming out so I decided to download the pv even if I didn't like berryz from the start. Then, I saw the pv and I was like "Woa!! Is that really the kids I listened to earlier??" And then I started liking them

mmmm the first time I got into Berryz?
I remember going around youtube searching for some random j-pop stuff..
(I didn't have alot of knowledge in j-pop/k-pop music at the time)
And I saw randomness of blue and I was like okay I'll clickie this one!
It was the Nanchuu PV and at first I was bored with the vid but I liked the song. So I went around searching for the song and found more of their stuff and I was like ">_> I hate this song, this is okay..I like this one.."
after a while I became a fan and found out they were part of H!P I was like O_O then I went to look at their bio's and I was like "OMG!? THEY'RE THAT YOUNG!?" I thought they were like 15-17 >_>
but anyways, I became a fan after Nanchuu =)

First time I saw them, I didn't pay much attention on them so, thanks to arian I'm a huge Berryz fan now :P
My favourite member at that time was Risako but then I saw that big kid and I said "ZOMG SHE'S SO TALL, I LOVE HER!" and that's how I started to be a huge Yurina fan  :heart: :heart: :heart:

Around when MM had released their 'Sexy Boy' single, I was looking for performances/etc. of the song on Youtube, and I came across a fan-made video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws_xTXVp1nc ) with Berryz in it; I'd heard about them before, but I never looked up anything about them or heard any of their songs. But once I saw the video, I wanted to hear some of their actualy songs, so then I came across Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai, and after that Gag 100kai bun Aishite Kudasai; I liked them both a lot, so I became a Berryz fan pretty quickly once I discovered them. ^^

I used to dislike H!PK quite a bit. lol because to me, pretty much every girl group with more than 5 members, is just another MM to me.

Anyway, I first saw the PV for Piriri, and hated it. Then a while later, Koi no Jubaku came out. And damn that song is just so catchy. It really was great, lol even though I didn't want to admit it. And yeah, that's when I really started to like them. After KnJ, they had a string of some really great songs, and really just hooked me.

When did everyone here become a Berryz fan? :O

For me it was when Koi no jubaku came out, but I know there should be older and also newer fans here :)
I think the reason I found Koi no jubaku so likeable was that it was a serious, upbeat song and also that the girls looked so cool in the PV/Ohastar perf. I thought it was impressive such young girls could be so kakkoii/cool/whatever :lol: (Especially Miyabi, I think she's like the queen of "cool")

agreed! I liked piriri to yukou and happiness..... but it was koi no jubaku which made me think that berryz were a group to be reckoned with. then came some SUPERB songs like special generation, jiriri kiteru, gag, munasawagi scarlet, even cinderella! i've definitely preferred their recent relaseas to MM's (last MM I really liked was eons ago-- sexy boy!!)

Respective conversion stories
at first, I liked:
Risako, who was the cutest
Momoko, after watching a really old popjam. or just in conversation, for momokoNESS. i think anyone can recognize this... it's just a quality momoko has in spades, and it's fairly polarizing. Till we can monitor berryz-chlorians, suffice it to say that the force is strong with her.

rather liked:
Chinami, who seemed always cheery
Saki, especially in koinu dan with her incredible sad eyes

and was ambivalent about the rest, although of course, I noticedYurina and Maasa for their height and Miyabi is just recognizable. I had seen yurina and miyabi in kaori's grad concert. the former i thought was pretty awful; she had no expression whatsoever and a mildly sayumish voice. the latter sang the pants off konno, but I didn't think much of it, seeing as how that's hardly a herculean feat. (sorry konno!)

Later, I liked:
Yurina, who has improved hugely in her performance, and is great in her just hanging-out mode.
Maasa, whose craziness is hilarious. i first saw it in a ki do ai raku game on a one of the dvd magazines.
For Miyabi, i saw this (if i find it later, i'll add it) collage of saki and miyabi in which saki's pointing/ staring at her chin in every pic and saying, or thinking, "ago nagee". killer funny. then in munasawagi scarlet she patented the Miyabi brand of pwnage. i definitely agree with cool miyabi too. she could be compared to gotou and fujimoto but i think the latter's too carnivorous and the former too herbivorous. miyabi seems like a lot of fun, and i prefer her to both!

so...... now I've liked every single since koi no jubaku and all the berryz!
gosh! long-winded ramble!

In theory it was when I first saw Chinami at the H!PK audition and thought she was so lovely that I'd always support any group she was put in.

hahaha now thats a long story for me to explain  :P i got my eyes on miya since she got selected in kids ^^ but i told myself she is too young right now, i will wait until she grows up, but after she grew a bit, she wasnt wat i thought i wanted, so i stopped caring....but then berryz got on music fighter promoting Jiriri and it was subbed by hps so i decided to dl it and c if its good, by that time i got my eyes on risako hehehe, so i quickly find as much as old berryz stuff as possible, but watching the past risako i ended up liking the past her instead of the present her..becoz i think she is cuter when she was younger...sigh...(but that doesnt mean i dun like her now hehe :P) however at the same time watching all those berryz stuff, make me realize that miya is really the type of girl i like so fun :inlove: also after reading a lot on momo's thread, learning a lot about her thru tama-chan's posts and watching berryz vids i started liking momo too  :wub: so now i love berryz coz of miya, momo and risako!!

I tried to make my 12 year old sister a berryz fan because she kept on noseying when i was watching mm stuff.  :lol:
So i started to download their songs, pvs, concerts etc

Little did i know i fell into their trap. It gets worse - on the way i notice C-ute as well  XD.
So now i like both Berryz and C-ute.  :angry: :D

At least she really has become a Berryz Kobo fan.

^ Aw that's great MooCow, Berryz do seem like the type that should have quite a few fans that are younger than them or their age. 

I became a fan when I got bored and paid more attention to Special Generation, then I started looking for more. <_<;

My first meeting with two girls of BerryZ was when watching the promo for Minimoni ja Movie Okashi na Daibouken!.

When I listened to their first album, I was like "Wow, but there are LOW ? (specially in Anata nashide wa sekite yukenai)" and the poison was starting to enter in me.

I clearly remember that I said "What the hell, who's singing this way too high with this acute voice ?"... And now, look where is little Momoko, as my avatar  :lol: .

Well, musically, I really liked them very fast... and I confess that now I'm missing their debut's song as Special Generation or Nanchuu koi wo yatteruu you know :heart: BUT I just can't stop following them (and can't wait for Jingisukan !).

I like every girl of BerryZ but I can tell an order : Momo... and Miyabi, and Risako, and Chinami, and Yurina and Masa.

(by the way, I like °C-ute too and there's no competition between them for me : I can't wait for their Nakayoshi Battle Concert Tour 2008 Haru !)
