For the sake of information plugging, the W song was Dekoboko Seventeen. Part of their first major M.C. segment was talking about how inappropriate singing that song was for 27 year olds (who were at the time occupying the stage), but they thought it was cool and wanted to sing it. As if I'm supposed to believe they get a say in their setlists!

There is another Country Musume-related torrent up (I saw the request before it was deleted :-) ). The bonus file I found after much (failed) searching for Yukigeshiki. It is a short clip showing her helping to make her own guitar and doing a small street performance in a park for a few excited kids. Toda Rinne might well have the best awesome content to total content ratio of any H!P member. I am deeply bummed that I didn't get to see her live while she was singing.

I just had a dream that I was watching a new Hello!Morning and it started out announcing a Mini Moni reunion. At first, all four original members came out on stage, which meant that not only was Kago finally officially reinstated, but Yaguchi was rejoining as an active member of a group, and they even brought Mika back. And they did a little dance, and then Fujii Takashi walked out and started talking to them. And then I woke up with the thought, "wow, this is like the best Hello!Morning in a looong time!" followed quickly by "crap, that was a dream." :-(

Now that I've had a bit of time to reflect on the dream, I find it amazing that a real Mini Moni reunion could be some really happy news, considering how little I actually listen to their music (save for when one friend grabs the remote).

Of the four or five people who we were supposedly going to meet, I think Greyface wound up meeting one other person there, whose forum name escapes me. Nice person, in any event; we tried to go to the H!P Harajuku store together and were basically told fat chance. Nobody else showed up, or if they did, they were out of radar.

Niigaki-related: Ever since watching Ribon No Kishi, I've become more and more of a Niigaki fan. She didn't have a particularly major part, but she did shine. When I compare one of her earlier live performances of Koko Ni Iruze! to her modern rendition of Koe... dayamn that girl's come a long way. From a cute little off-key girl to a stunning woman in appearance and vocal ability, I can't help but be impressed by where she's at these days. I'm sure this is no revelation to anyone here, just felt it was time to sound off.

I suppose I've leeched enough here, time to give back. Assuming there are no major problems with password leaks, etc. I will leave this open for a while. This is my entire music videos directory, which is probably 60% J-pop, 40% old rap and glam rock, help yourselves to whatever looks interesting. :-) The Hello!Project stuff is all grouped together, so much of the interesting stuff will be in the H's. If you notice something missing that you feel I really shouldn't be without, you can upload it to the upload directory. Enjoy!

The password is masked to keep non-fans out, this is Morning Musume's 19th hit, unless you count Ai No Tane (which I do, but most people seem not to), in which case it is the 20th hit. Substitute the full song title (in lowercase) for the password.
