Seriously Guys. Seriously.

What are some of your Morning Musume pet peeves?

I think my biggest one is that Kanon is fat.  Seriously compare her thighs to Fukumura's in the shots where she's wearing enough or compare their arms.  They're actually the same size; the only difference I can see is a stomach being drawn back for better posture and showing off her body. ...

Yeah!  Marriage is actually pretty awesome.  I think a great definition of a wedding is: wherein you invite all of your friends from high school and college to have a huge party sponsored by your parents where you're allowed to drink with your cool relatives and dance to Kpop and Jpop.

But enough about that.  

Anti-Fans.

People have been...

I watched the video and counted on each of the jump cuts what girls were on screen.  If it was a dance shot I only counted it if it was different from the previously released dance shot and only if the girls in question were looking at the camera.  Close ups were easy.  The spinning swirling parts counted everyone.  I did this for every cut - the number is...

Before it gets into it I'm going to make something clear.  Cuca is dancing the full dance while singing averse to doing the lead singer-arm-wave-gesture thing.  Further she decided to sing the entire song averse to going back and forth like the girls do.  If you don't...

Seriously.

It happens with regularity every song so I don't know why I'm continually frustrated by seeing it but I swear days are taken from my life from my inborn rage at people complaining about line distribution as if Morning Musume were some sort of day school where zero sum games weren't allowed and not a pop idol group.  I'm going to...

We begin with Fukumura Mizuki in this spotlight session; also known to her fans as Fukuhime.

I'll admit, I didn't really have a strong opinion of her at first and wrote her off as a generic beauty.  She didn't seem to have the singing and dancing chops I'd expect of an Egg; she was certainly less polished than Riho, didn't seem to have...

Bearing in mind that these are just opinions:

Karin is probably the person I expect to see least in 11th generation.  This isn't for lack of talent or ability - I will say that's undeniable.  But, let's go through some current history if that phrase works:  Unlike Riho I think Karin's actually also bursting with personal charisma.  I...

I feel like I should address what I view the reason for Riho hate because Riho and Koharu were hated for separate reasons.

Koharu was pushed but she wasn't pushed in MoMusu nearly as much as people seem to think. She got some lines but usually less than Eri and Niigaki putting her firmly in the secondary singing corps. What people didn't like...

I'm going to go ahead and say that after much consideration I've come to an opinion:

No matter who my favorite member of Morning Musume may be at any given point I feel the member that deserves the majority of respect throughout the whole of Morning Musume's history is Michishige...

One of my big pet peeves is hearing people talk about the new set of girls as if they're just simply so much weaker than other members have ever been in the past oh my goodness. So, for my first blog post I thought I'd put that myth to the test using as much fact as I can for something subjective. I present to you a group of past...
