Vague question but dying for an answer! Anyone in Japan at the moment, does anyone know what girl group song is really popular at the moment? I hear this song in public so much, and not a clue what it is. And the only lyrics I remember are "Sakura kimi wo....", and even that may be wrong xD But it's a light pop song, with a catchy melody, and I can't type a melody :(

So for one of my modules, we have to write an essay on two different Japanese media, and what they show us about Japan/popular culture, and compare the similarities/contradictions they show us. For music, it can be an artist or one of their works. Anything in particular you guys think would be interesting?

I mean, there was that one MV by MeseMoa recently that got really big because it had all the guy idols kissing each other. You could relate it to Japan and their openness towards this subject?

Just had my first H!P concert in Japan, ANGERME! A lady was laughing at how happy my face was when I realised I get to shake all their hands!! I had no idea this happened, feeling starstruck!

Wow! That is an awesome deal. Sasaki is in ANGERME, right? Tell us what it was like to shake hands with her.

A little short notice, but I'm going to see ANGERME tonight in Nagoya, and this is my first H!P concert in Japan. Does my ticket number actually mean anything in terms of how good my seat is? It's only a 1100 capacity venue, so wondering if it's first come first serve in terms of seats?

Just joined Ayumi Hamasaki's global fan club, so hopefully get to see her FC only shows this year ^_^ Surprises me H!P doesn't have a global fan club considering how much more they promote themselves to the international fanbase these days.

I really wish they would. Whoever at UF patrols this forum please introduce and international H!P fan club!

They aren't forward thinking enough for that kind of thing. They just seem to tolerate foreign fans and keep them at arms length. Good for the money if they can find an angle to make more money out of them by taking commission from a proxy service but not something they care about.

Having only recently put ANGERME on my iTunes, it hurts the OCD in me to have them seperately from S/mileage

I don't know if Itunes supports something similar but I circumvented this on MediaGo by setting the reading for アンジュルム to スマイレージ www

iTunes has a feature that lets you keep the names separate but sort them together. Right click > get info > sorting > then put 'スマイレージ' in the 'artist sort as' section.

Done, thanks! If I have S/mileage on shuffle, still have to go seperately to Angerme on the iPod though :P

Which H!P groups did you used to like quite a lot, then just lost interest in? I became a H!P fan in 2008 and remember discovering Berryz, and they just had amazing song one after another. Then Maji Bomber happened. And for the most part, it went downhill for me, with at least half their singles not doing much for me. Also J=J, I liked their first two indies and their major debut, but got kinda bored of them. What about you guys? :)

Interesting. There used to be a subset of ladies I really liked. But now, there's Kudo, Sasaki, Miyamoto who are just as good. It's probably a matter of time. Not enough time to watch everything. That said, I wouldn't pass up the chance to see Haruka, Rikako,or Karin live.

Interesting reading your replies guys, thanks! Kind of a shame it happens, I remember the days discovering H!P and really, really loving it, regularly buying normal merch and the pride of owning rare FC merch ^_^

First concert ticket for Japan sorted! Got my ticket for Ayaka, and applying for the FC lottery to see C-ute on Halloween. Fingers crossed! (I'm gonna be so poor xD)

Just found out about this singer (Sakurako Ohara). Such a beautiful voice, reminds me of Ai Takahashi's :) http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Sakurako-Ohara---Hitomi/aa011521b68d56e372fe273aed77bcf4

Does anyone know of any good services to use to join a Japanese artists' fan club from outside of Japan? Fan Clubber is too expensive for me to just join one fan club (Namie Amuro's)

Listening to C-ute's singles from the beginning, and Tokaikko Junjou came on. Reminded me of the days when that was their best selling single, and everyone would hope the newest single would beat its sales (38k). How times change! :P

Downloaded a Karaoke app for the Wii U, and you can choose Japanese songs. There isn't loads, but MM, C-ute, Aya Matsuura, AKB, SKE, and NMB are all on there :D

Hey :D Just wondered which uni you'll be starting your Japanese degree? I'm sure you'll love it, doing a degree in it is one of the best decisions I've ever made ^_^

I'm going to the university of Leuven, considering I live in Belgium :D And I hope so! It's definitely something I want to do!
-
matt9210
Ohhh, haven't heard of Leuven :P
It's amazing, so excited for the year abroad! My year abroad is from September 2015-August 2016, so just need to work hard for another year :P

Coming to the end of my first year of my Japanese Studies degree! It's crazy to think I've been wanting to do this since around the time I became a H!O member 6 years ago. And I'd see people post status' about their semester/year in Japan, and be really jealous. But now, in a little over a year, I'll be in Japan for a year myself :D
