Idoling!!! is a variety show on Fuji TV 721 that started on October 30, 2006. It features nine female idols performing songs, playing games, and doing several other things that are typically seen on variety shows. I'm not sure if it was planned from the start, but the nine girls have adopted the name of the show and are making their major CD...

Yeah, I know I'm late, but I read yesterday that AAA will be coming to Otakon this year. As my profile says, I live in Maryland, but I'm quite far away from Baltimore, and I don't really have confidence in my own ability to navigate my way to the convention center. So, I need ask my family members to see if anyone can give me a ride to Otakon....

I re-arranged and added a few new content blocks to the right side of this blog.

The first is the "Interesting Articles" block. It contains the five most recent articles that I've decided to share through Google Reader. There's also a "Read More" link so people can see more of my shared articles. Now, everyone can see what kind...

I decided to change the name of my blog. Trip 4 is really bowling-specific, and it's starting to become overused by other bowling fans. So, I came up with something that incorporates bowling as well as Hello! Project: Hello! Revolutions. To most, the "Hello!" part is self-explanatory, but the "Revolutions" part may be...

I was going to make a post about this weeks ago, but I kept on putting it off. Right now, it's 1:30 AM where I live, and I don't feel like going to sleep. So, I'm finally going to post about one of my favorite foods: Taiyaki.

Back on April 14, the Sakura Matsuri (known to most in my area as the Cherry Blossom Festival) was held in Washington...

You glance at this and think that yet another Hello! Project "scandal" has surfaced.

As some of you may know, I uploaded an episode of Idoling!!! over at Jpopsuki. Honestly, I'm not very familiar with this group at all. Back in April, I saw a video titled アイドリング!!!, and curiosity got the best of me. Since then, I've...

Hi, everybody! Haven't posted anything here in a while. As I mentioned in one of my torrent descriptions, the last two weeks have been nothing but studying for and taking final exams. My last final exam was actually last Friday, but I took a few days to unwind from the school semester. Well, I also needed to clean up the digital mess that's been...

Hmmm... I haven't made a post that goes into the "Japanese Entertainment" category, so I'll make one now.

Ever since Asami Konno graduated from Hello! Project, I've been looking for someone in Hello! Project to replace her as my favorite member. Unfortunately, I just never really became that big of a fan of the other members....

I'm sure many have heard the news about the addition of nine Little Gatas members into Gatas Brilhantes H.P. Since I've been known to rant about Gatas in the past, I thought I should provide some analysis of this decision....

My first thought was, "This changes nothing."

This is a much needed boost to the roster size, but the...

Today, I watched the second episode of Haromoni@, and I must say that I was quite surprised by it. I may have had a different mindset while watching it this time, but I actually managed to see some potential in this show. I think it has the potential to be quite entertaining, but I still don't think it can last for more than a season or two.

Anyway,...

I finally got around to watching the first episode of the brand new Haromoni@. After seeing the previews for Haromoni@ and noticing that it would be a completely different show, I knew that my wish list would be irrelevant. So, I tried to approach this show with an open mind and refrain from comparing it to Hello! Morning.

First, let's start with...

First, there were radio previews, and now the first performance has surfaced. All I can say is that I think Morning Musume.'s newest single is downright awesome. The song is cool, the outfits are cool, the PV seems cool, everything about this song just bleeds cool right now. It reminds me a lot of my all-time favorite Morning Musume. single, Roman ~My...

I have filled in a lot of missing information on my profile here at Hello! Online. I noticed that I've been getting some visitors lately, and my profile was quite bland. So, I thought I'd give my visitors some bits of information to look at. No personal picture, though... I'm still not sure if I should put one up.

Here is a list of a few things I would like to see when Hello! Morning moves to its new 30 minute time slot.

1) NO MORE GUESTS

When I watch Hello! Morning, I don't want to see the newest one joke wonder. I want to see Morning Musume. Guests just take precious camera time and focus away from MM. Most of the best episodes of H!M don't...

I noticed that I haven't made any Hello! Project related posts on this blog, yet. I've been finding it hard to come up with anything to post about, because Hello! Project hasn't done anything particularly interesting. Honestly, my interest in H!P has been slowly dwindling for the past few years. I could go on and on about this, but...

As some may know, I've been uploading more than the usual Hello! Morning recently. For a while, I've been wanting to upload more than just Hello! Morning each week, but since I'm on a 768 kbps upload cable connection, I had to do something to get the file sizes down. All of my source files are large MPEG-2 files. I won't say where I...

I haven't posted here in a while... Schoolwork has been taking a lot of my time recently...

It seems like it's going to take a bit longer than I expected to get fiber to our house. Supposedly, there's a pretty long waiting list, so Verizon's supposed to call us when it's our turn. We've been on the waiting list for almost a...

I currently bowl in a Friday night league every week. Well, I'm really just a sub for my dad's team, which consists of my dad, my cousin, my sister, and two of my dad's friends. If somebody on the team can't make it, then I fill in for him. (I'm not allowed to fill in for my sister.) If I'm not playing with the team, then I usually...

A week ago, I got a free copy of Windows Vista Business Edition from my school. I had been hearing a lot about the new features, and I fell into the hype. So, I nabbed a copy as soon as my school offered it. Now, backing up everything and re-installing everything is a multi-day task for me, so I had a choice to make. I could install it now, while I...
