Maimi mentions something else

[muppet]

This live performance by C-ute of their cover of the Candies' "Shochū Omimai Mōshiagemasu" is uber kawaii.
(Mai was unable to participate at this performance, due to illness, perhaps)

[muppet]

"夢があるから" (Yume ga Aru Kara / Because I Have a Dream) is one of C-ute's slow paced songs, and their five voices blended at this live performance are beautiful.
Always nice to see how they take their time to thank their fans at the end of a concert.

[muppet]

Beautifully done tribute to the three February birthday girls (Saki turned 17 yesterday- Feb 5, and tomorrow- Feb 7- Mai turns 15 and Maimi turns 19)
Note:the first video that I posted was lifted from you tube due to copyright complaint. so in substitute is a birthday surprise from a couple of years ago.
Notable for
 1) Mai loses it, and then Maimi and Saki turn on the waterworks
2) Kanna runs on stage, hoping to tackle Maimi in a full press love crush,which Maimi steps out of quickly.....Kanna then turns her raging love on to Mai....

[greyface]

Finally, after all this time, I have an opinion of Kiss Me: Aishiteru.  Yes, these things take me a while!

1: It's a pretty good song.  Probably not their best recently, but, definitely not bad.  I think the "ne" break is a bit overly long, I get impatient for them to end, rather than simply expectant.

2: It's a pretty good music video.  Though, I think the stylist/costumers involved need to review some old Goto Maki PVs to remember how hot pants are SUPPOSED to fit.  Though, I suppose in some cases, the girls don't have the right figure for hot-pants, but... I know FOR A FACT, that some of them can fit them better than they do in the video.

3: It's an alright dance.  As usual for H!P dances, it has some... suspect sections.  Like, I don't know what the choreographer was thinking.  Maybe after a few more months, the girls will figure out what I can't (how those dance sections are supposed to work) and they'll be able to sell them to me.  One can only hope, anyway.

They are going for the ponytail look.

And long live the pony tail look!!

[muppet]

First it was Morning Musume, and now C-ute visit Southpark (warning on language):

[Slack]

^ Man, that was awesome.
Is it just me or did the person who made it use Mai as both Stan and Kyle?

Somehow it's fitting that Nakky's Hitler lecture was used as source material. 

[muppet]

Yeah, I notice it was during Nakky's lecture about Hitler as well. As good as Chisato was to play this part, I still give the nod to Miki.....

had never seen this clip before- apparently when they were filming the "who is the biggest idiot of all"classroom scene (won by Tsuji),they brought in the kids to take a look.
Some of the C-ute and Berryz girls have that  "I ain't doing this humilation shit- no way, no how" look on their faces:
