Wow, I was only gone for a week or two... and suddenly there are three graduations and a disbandment?!

I love reading interviews of the girls. I remember some with Reina and Sayumi that really made me think "Wow, these girls are so smart. Their thoughts are so deep." And the latest one of Maa-chan (you'll find it in her thread) has blown my mind even more.

Austria has voted today and two right-wing parties are on top. I'm starting to feel kind of helpless in this country.

    I feel you on that. My country has only had conservatives or neoliberal corporatists in charge since I was born and I live in one of the most far-right states in the US. It's not the most welcoming place for a progressive social democrat.

I'd like to get to know Nogizaka46 better since I've heard lots of good things about them. To their fans on this forum: Is there anything you would recommend watching? Like lives, MVs, TV shows, anything really... :)

    A friend once showed us a bunch of Nogizaka46 MVs. The videos are certainly well done and the girls are very cute, but I found their music rather boring. I was caught dozing a couple times xD

    ^ unfortunately this? maybe I just saw MVs that were like that? but Nogizaka46's younger sister Keyakizaka46 is so awesome to me. the feeling it gave me reminded of the old days when I got into Jpop and when I started discovering MM and H!P

Only one more week until the 20th anniversary. I don't get why UFP are not milking this cow like crazy. T_T

I always thought that when Duu graduates, it will be the first time I'll go to Japan just to see a concert. Her grad concert would be worth it. And now she's graduating too soon and I won't have the money to actually go. T-T

I get to watch Japanese variety shows to use in the empirical part of my master thesis (lucky me! :3). Do you guys now any variety/talk shows with women as hosts? I've been looking through the most popular shows but it seems most of them have guys in them. ><

    Tetsuko no Heya is one of the most highly regarded talk shows in Japan. Kuroyanagu Tetsuko also used to host The Best Ten and still hosts Sekai Fushigi Hawken. Matsuko Deluxe generally identifies as a transvestite, but be also hosts a myriad of shows.

    Lots of shows also have male-female pairs as hosts, a la Music Station, Doremifa-Don, etc.

What's your favorite song from H!P to sing at Karaoke? :D

    Far too many to count, but I really favor Imasugu Tobikomu Yuuki, Koi wa Magnet and Tsumetai Kaze to Kataomoi, going by my mp3 player's history, haha

    Lately my friends make me sing Mukidashite a lot because they like the song lol. Exciting Fight, Watashi no dekkai Hana, Baby Koi ni knock out, Umaku Ikenai and other recent songs are also on my list~

What's with the people who sit in the first few rows on the side at Budokan concerts? They always look like they've just been picked off the street and handed a pen light. Considering they are the ones seen on DVD behind the girls... I just don't get it. xD

    Concerts aside but including them, even in their bday events, some people just look so bored. Like I'm sure they are thrilled on the inside but they sure don't seem to be. It's probably what iwabo says but I surely can't relate.

    Okay, I didn't know they weren't allowed to jump. That makes sense^^

    And yeah, I know people enjoy things differently. ;) I was just curious why the people who enjoy things with a bored face ALWAYS sit there and end up in DVD close ups. No matter which concert and which group. lol

    It's also a safety thing, it's pretty big drop if you get your Oshi-jump wrong.

    Who knows about concerts though. I've been next to people who've just stood there the whole show no glow sticks, T-shirt, anything and zero jumping or shouting... just standing looking at the stage. Maybe they're doing secretly recording the concert? XD

If you wanted to show someone what "JPop" is by only showing them one song/video, which one would you choose?

    I feel like people already think Jpop is full of things like PonPonPon so I'd probably show them something like Dream5's Breakout or Happiness' Juicy Love

    Hanako Oku's songs works for my friends, they're even listen to her songs on the way back home. i think they're just don't really like 'weird' or 'antimainstream' songs? because Oku's songs are really tame/mellow/sweet.

Does anyone here know the Karaoke app smule? It offers a lot of Japanese songs, also from Hello Project, and you can sing them together with people from Japan and all over the world. (sounds like a commercial lol) But seriously, it's fun! :D

    So it does actually have J-pop songs on it. I figured it wouldn't since most karaoke things here in the States only offer western music
    Jan 13 2016 08:09 PM
  • I am playing one of smule's other apps, Magic Piano so I have heard a lot about that app :).

Those times when you have more free time than you thought and planned on doing some cleaning and studying and stuff, and then you find tons of H!P DVDs you haven't seen yet online...
