I am a HUGE S/mileage fan

My absolute favorite H!P member and idol at the moment is 小川沙季 Ogawa Saki.
She may not be a classic beauty, still I think she’s very beautiful, she’s a good singer, she’s very cute, and she’s ALWAYS smiling. Such a cheerful personality! Major girl crush!!


My favorite members of Hello!Project

The lovely bubbly Yaguchi Mari (especially in her younger years, I think she looked best when she was blonde )
Fukuda Kanon (she reminds me a lot of the great Kago Ai)
Tsuji Nozomi (mainly when she was younger; I don't her current doll-like look that much, but I loved her "brat"-image back in the days )
Kago Ai
Matsuura Aya
Nakazawa Yuko
Fujimoto Miki
Fukuda Asuka
Goto Maki
Kamei Eri (who is to graduate... )
Linlin
Junjun
Maeda Yuuka
Wada Ayaka
Ishikawa Rika
Mika Todd
...and so many more! I like nearly all of them, to a greater or lesser extent.

I'm very sad to see Junjun and Linlin go - not cool, Tsunku... not cool at ALL
Both great great members with a great personality (gotta love Junjun's sarcasm and Linlin's loveliness and singing talent), them leaving will be a big loss! They should have had WAY more chances to shine as part of Morning Musume and Hello!Project, respectively.
They even got me to begin learning Chinese again
And I have to say... It's amazing how fast they learned to speak Japanese... and so well - RESPECT!

H!P members I don't like that much, let's say my "least favorites" (sorry fans... just personal taste, to each his own) are Tanaka Reina, Michishige Sayumi and Niigaki Risa.


My favorite Hello!Project groups

S/mileage
W
Mini Moni (Original lineup, that is Yaguchi - Tsuji - Kago - Todd)
Morning Musume (mainly oldschool, that is 1997 – 2001; 1st – 4th gen)
GAM
And of course also Gomattou and Nochiura Natsumi


My favorite soloists

Matsuura Aya
Fujimoto Miki
Nakazawa Yuko
Goto Maki


My favorite songs

Nakazawa Yuko – Urara (my number one favorite song of H!P of all time!)
Taiyo to Ciscomoon / Matsuura Aya – Uchuu de La Ta Ta
W – Samishii Nettaigyo
Goto Maki – Arashi no Sugao (she sang this song by Kudō Shizuka on Uta Doki! Pop Classics)
Morning Musume / Ice Creamusume – Ame no furanai hoshi de wa aisenai darou?
Country Musume ni Konno to Fujimoto – Uwaki na Honey Pie
S/mileage – Otona ni naru tte muzukashii
Goto Maki – Daite yo! Please go on
Morning Musume – Mikan
Morning Musume – Morning Coffee
Morning Musume – Daite Hold on me
Morning Musume – Summer Night Town
Morning Musume – Furusato
Morning Musume – Shabondama
Morning Musume – Onna Ni Sachi Are
Morning Musume – Happy Summer Wedding
Morning Musume – As for One Day
Matsuura Aya – Momoiro Kataomoi
Nakazawa Yuko – Kuyashi namida porori
Morning Musume – Egao YES Nude
Morning Musume – Kimagure Princess
Fujimoto Miki – Aenai nagai nichiyoubi
Fujimoto Miki – Sotto kuchizukete gyutto dakishimete
Goto Maki – Uwasa no Sexy Guy
Melon Kinenbi – This is Unmei
Sweet Black feat. Goto Maki – Queen Bee (okay, this was already under the Avex label, but I like it so much that I included it here )


The best voices of Hello!Project – my opinion

Matsuura Aya
Goto Maki
Nakazawa Yuko
Fukuda Asuka (she rocked the シャ乱Q女性ロックボーカリストオーディション (SharanQ Female Rock Vocalist Audition) at the age of 12!!)
Fujimoto Miki
Abe Natsumi
Takahashi Ai
Linlin
Future: Ogawa Saki? - Her voice has yet to mature, she still sounds very childlike – however she got a LOT of solos at the Shinjin Kouen concerts (at the age of only 11! RESPECT!! ), which shows that Tsunku must think she’s a good singer with a great potential!


About sharing on the tracker

I have a ridiculously slow upload speed (maximum of 150 KBytes/s, was: max 8 KBytes/s until 2009-12-31) compared to my very fast download speed (max 4 MBytes/s, was: max 45 KBytes/s until 2009-12-31). This means that my maximum download speed is the 27-fold of my maximum upload speed
If anyone in the apartment wants to surf the internet (which is very often the case), I have to throttle my upload speed to a maximum of 50 Kbytes/s (sometimes less, depends on my router's mood... ) in order to be able to have a website loading at all. So please accept my apologies if my seeding is bad...
Further, I usually seed very many torrents to keep them all alive (currently ~1430 torrents at the same time), so this may result in a very slow upload speed for each of you who are downloading from me.
German providers know very well why they don’t sell faster upload speeds...


A little about me

I have a long history of interest in East Asian culture, especially Japan, which I have been a fan of since my early childhood. I love the people, the culture, the language, the nature, everything about it. I am fairly fluent in Japanese and hoping to be able to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N3 or N2 soon (I am somewhere between these two levels, vocabulary-wise).
I love to watch Japanese TV shows, dramas, movies and listen to Japanese music, so I was more than happy when I discovered Hello!Online (maybe it was one of the best things that’s happened in my life . I can’t be grateful enough to the people who have started this site, this tracker and are still hosting and maintaining this - and of course all of you who are contributing to it, be it creating and uploading torrents, seeding, providing news, translating or else!


元気でねぇぇ！
よろしくお願いしまぁぁ~す！！
