I just wanted to say that we've decided to only feature header images with girls from H!P Japan. Headers with M-Line members would be okay as well. This means no Nice Girl Project and no H!P Taiwan (Ice Creamusume / Frances & Aiko).
Sorry if this is disappointing to some people, but it won't be changing anytime soon.

Risa/Misa: Thanks for taking the time to create the new header images, we really did need a refresh up there.

Anybody planning on giving us poor folks who can't attend periodic updates on what happens during the con? It would obviously be greatly appreciated!

I'll be there with my iPhone in hand, and I'm gonna try to tweet when I can, hopefully with photos. Keep an eye on the official H!O Twitter feed.

Wish me luck!

Now, just to be clear... I personally don't know who the secret AX guest is.

HOWEVER!

The HPS crew has been talking, and you all might want to take these notes into consideration:

• "Connected to H!P" could mean past, present, or future.
• Why does the "source" say "part of the name?"
• Why doesn't the source say "all of the name?"
• Is it a nickname?
• Are there possibly letters, numbers or symbols NOT included in the quoted sentences?

Now, get to speculatin'. Your guess is as good as ours!

Edit: Actually, I'm gonna go on record here and guess that it's gonna be HANGRY & ANGRY. But well, then again, that Japanator article made it seem as though it was a singular "artist". We shall see, I suppose...

In case anyone missed it, I announced on the Twitter feed that there will be another special H!P guest at Anime Expo. Sorry that I can't give more info than that, but more info is coming next week!

Here's a translation of that post, courtesy of our own B.Slade. Enjoy:

Morning Musume



I went to their concert!

Everyone was working so hard...

And they're all adults now...

Ai-chan and Gaki-san, Eri, Sayu, and Reina.

From schoolkids from the country who knew nothing...

When I was the leader, I scolded them, even though it hurt my heart...

The day that they were able to remember everything, they said, "Thank you very much," and it brought tears to my eyes...

And now, thinking that they're teaching Koharu, Mitsui, Junjun, and Linlin, that touches my heart...

Morning Musume are the best!

Back in those days, Morning Musume had its own colour for that time.

And I was happy to see that Morning Musume has its own colour for now!

I'll always have a feeling of parental love for them.

I'm talking a bit like a sempai, but please forgive that...

I'll be an eternal Morning Musume fan!

And I was really happy when they all said they've read my blog!

Ai-chan said she and Gaki-san want to come to have dinner with me!

So I want to show off my ability!

Everybody, do your best!
