About Me
I enjoy studying languages cause each is a key to another world of media, entertainment, literature, art, worldviews etc. In the case of Japanese that has meant anime, games, manga, j-drama and of course, idols. I first learnt about H!P from Buono and all the fantastic OP and ED of Shugo Chara when I watched it back when it was airing (I think 2007?), but I didn't really get into the world of idols then. Ironically, it was in 09 that SNSD became popular with Gee and I followed them and kpop in general for awhile, and getting more into idols in general. As Soshi became more inactive I kinda lost interest in kpop and shifted focus to Morning Musume, who I had seen live at AX in 09.
Although I enjoy learning about all idol groups in multiple countries, as I got more into Musume and its history I realized that H!P does it best. What I like about Tsunku's philosophy is that he allows kids to be kids. The more Hello! Mornings and DVD magazines I watched the more I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek humor in the songs and the fun interactions between each girls' character. My favorites are/were Ai-chan (humility, talent), Nocchi (renaissance idol, adorable, 1 day younger than me!), Momoko (Character, charisma), Ayaya (Stage presence, talent, personality, everything an idol should aspire to be), and Junjun (witty, cute, melancholic, very honest). Of the younger generation I like Yuuka, Karin and Nanami a lot. (Anyone Momo chooses for M❤P has my vote haha)
What I enjoy most about idols, (more than music or photobooks or whatever else) is watching them do skits/plays (like all of the characters C-ute has had) or improv comedy like on Hello Morning (my favorite segment of all time is Eric Kamezou). My idol fandom is mostly spent watching the shows and DVDs like H!M, H!M@, every play I can find for each group. Please talk to me about your favorite H!P plays, dvds, or musicals! I'd love to discuss or recommend stuff. Also if you want me to translate or summarize anything for you (in jp or zh in the case of the pandas), I'd be happy to.

Seems like it's a new play based on a book that came out at the end of 2008 called Urges of the Killer Demon Fujiko (Satsujin Fujiko no Shodo). From what I can tell, Gaki is going to play the main character, a girl who was subjected to a lot of trauma growing up and ends up becoming a twisted person killing the people around her in a dark cycle of abuse or something. I guess it's supposed to be pretty dark. Should be interesting to see Gaki try a role so far away from her normal self.

It's really awesome that you're willing to sub the whole series. I just wanted to point out though that feichang zhai here isn't exactly extraordinary house - zhai (宅男/宅女) is the colloquial term for otaku/hikkikomori like coming from お宅 in japanese. Of course since in the series the loft plays a big role there probably is that double meaning to it.

I absolutely adore white wishes! I'd love to learn more about this group, the girls seemed quite cute in the PV and their voices are surprisingly good too. Is it just me or does one of them look strikingly like Sooyoung from SNSD?
