Thank you for this :). I find it useful, especially because I am learning Kanji (I'm currently able to read and use less than 100, which is really not much).

When you have finished the MoMusu members, are you also going to write about the names of all other current and former H!P members (there are 159 right now, MoMusu members included).
Thanks for this! The kanji is interesting so I'll need to practice their names!
This is really cool! If I show these to my Japanese teacher she'll help explain further with readings and such. kanji is so hard T_T
