I didn't know there was a thread for this show...I need to check in this forum more often.
This show played a huge part in getting me interested in H!P, especially those early episodes where Ishibashi was really trying to turn the Momusu girls against each other with the constant favoritism and the confession boxes. But my favorite episodes are the ones from around 2002-2003: the birth of "Tettekete", the "Maji de dejima" game, Mikitty's "training" for Momusu, Ayaya vs. "Tayaya", Yasuda's "wedding", dakiwakare on Yaguchi...there have been so many times when I scared my roommates with how loud I was laughing. It's just a shame how things slowly went downhill for H!P on that show after those years, though they still had their moments.
Obviously the show is about more than just H!P...they even laugh it up with Bon Jovi:
And here's the Utada/Leah Dizon segment:
And on that note, I need to really do my homework on non-H!P acts on that show.
When utaban stopped having morning musume or members of hello project over I died inside. Is hello project banned or something. The last couple of episodes with morning musume were boring, but they could send over Nacchi or Berryz. Did Berryz Koubou or C-ute ever appear on utaban. I miss this show!!!!!!!!! What happened?
Morning Musume's gonna be on next week's episode, so look out for that. They'll also be joined by Abe, Yasuda, and Tsuji (who was on the show last year). Berryz and C-ute did have their own appearances on the show, but only one talk appearance for each group (Berryz had two total appearances, the latter being music performance only).
Here's a list of all Hello Project appearances on Utaban. Plenty of stuff that hasn't been subtitled yet.
