Translation by me + a little help from Chara-chii :*
Rough translation :

I'll give you a kiss
now I realized my feelings
because words can't be enough

almost too obvious
due to long time friend
I know your personality and habits
better than any other girl

Ha~
such an insensitive you are
I'll make you turn to me
the battle begins now

I'll give you a kiss
I really love you right now
from the word that is impressing
to you, I'll show it gently
the flower bud in my heart that is warming

sometimes you look so grace
you try to sulk seems like a tactic
a feeble woman will never win
because this love will never loose

I'll give you a kiss
because right now,
it explains clearer then the word 'Like'
now i can hear
heart beating so fast
first love is like a popping cider

friendship is such a boundary
right now I want to jump over it

I'll give you a kiss
I really love you right now
from the word that is impressing
to you, I'll show it gently
the flower bud in my heart that is warming
feel it

2012 H!P Ranking Explanation

The majority of my past explanations for ranking are reserved for AKB and Morning Musume, so with the exception of Michishige Sayumi I don't think people are aware of my preferences.  (If you look at earlier posts two major themes appear for Morning Musume: I love Shige, but dislike Takahashi Ai.)    

10. Ikuta Erina (MM)
I have a sweet spot for the cute girls.  She stuck out to me as likely to pass through the auditions.  I was concerned when I saw her close-up shots from her first PV shoot because she seemed uncomfortable or at least awkward.  She appears to be more confident now.  It also was a good sign when Shige took her under her wing.  She just looks like she is a nice, quirky girl.  I like quirky.

9. Mitsui Aika (MM) 
She is the most unappreciated member of Morning Musume. I liked her right away because she seemed to have this feisty, like a little puppy, aura.  I began to adore her after watching subbed clips of one of their DVDs.  (That whole segment makes me smile.)  I like how her voice sounds.  The sad thing is that I am a bit particular about hair, it just has to look good.  Unfortunately, someone insists on doing sub-par work with her hair.  The above photo I think is perfect.  I also find the sibling relationship between Reina and Aika charming.  I don't know if it is a matter of her not getting pushed like she did when she first joined, or if she needs to work harder.  (I enjoy watching her in concerts.)  Then again, I no longer follow them as closely as before.  I am disappointed that the western fans are quite cruel to her, often saying she looks old and such.     

8. Tsugunaga Momoko (Berryz)
Her character has changed a bit, she moved into the comedy side where Sayumin has been carrying the torch for H!P. (I know I keep on changing her nickname = Michishige).  For one she is a definite ace.  Another one of her charms is that she has a nice butt, it isn't flat.  I can understand why people dislike her, for the same reason they don't care for Sayumin, because of her character.  But as a reminder, that isn't her so treat it like a character.  Did I mention she is a college student?        

7. Natsuyaki Miyabi (Berryz) 
Miyabi has sky rocketed in my ranking partly due to her chopping off her hair.  I think it looks best if it doesn't reach her shoulders.  She is another Berryz ace.  I guess her character is the nice girl.  She doesn't really have a distinctive character, maybe girl-next-door or natural.  

6. Suzuki Airi (C-ute)
There goes the last member of Buono. They are all aces in H!P, which is why Buono is so popular.  They just all perform well and have star qualities.  I don't know why, but if I had to pick a center for Buono it would be Airi.  It could be her look.  Shock by C-ute was a great song (click link for lolz).  I've never seen her look bad.  

5. Fukumura Mizuki (MM) 
Honestly, I didn't understand why she was added as part of the 9th generation.  She just didn't look like anything special.  However, since watching her she has become my favorite of that generation.  I guess I'm drawn to the natural character, nice girls.  She is also quite pretty.  I hope she gets more screen time.     

4. Hagiwara Mai (C-ute) 
I think she is really pretty, maybe more than Airi.  She reminds me of teenage Dakota Fanning.  It is hard to explain why I like some of these girls, because I naturally gravitate to them.  They stick out to me/ they catch my eye.  

3. Tanaka Reina (MM) 
She is one of the few members in Morning Musume with a clear character/ role in the group.  She is the 'lone-wolf', stylish one.  That is the reason why she is fun to watch.  Tsunku was right about her being the ideal; she never ages!  She has been consistently a strong member.

2. Sugaya Risako (Berryz) 
She may not have the strongest vocals, but I adore the sound of her voice.  It reminds me of a roar.  It is distinct and I think it is a good quality to have.  If you don't have strong vocals then it is best to have a unique sound.  I also enjoy her attitude; it is not a bad one, but a sassy one.  I guess I like confidence and people to have fun while performing.  Plus, boobs.  I'm sorry (it isn't the only thing I like but it is a bonus).  Oh, and she is average sized!  (which probably contributes to my previous point.)  I'm not that big of a pervert, I swear. . . okay no I am.  I am a college student; you can only think about sex once you enter high school.  (sorry I did that tangent thing again.)  She has the X factor that makes me incapable of not watching her.  

1. Michishige Sayumi (MM) 
Yeah, I'm predictable aren't I.  I prefer her 'I'm cute' character over Momo's, so I like watching her on variety shows.  She is actually really sweet if you read her blog.  I've pretty much have written all I can say about her.  (look at previous posts where her name is tagged.)  She never disappoints me.  If only v-u-den turned out well.  (I thought they were a good arrangement.)  

Mina's 2012 Hello! Project Ranking

H!P has had a lot of changes since the last time I ever ranked it.  So that is basically the reason I'm doing this. . . oh and I feel bad about just doing music video release posts.  Yep.  I might do an explanation for my top rankings later.

K-Pop Fans, We Need to Talk.

You've become notorious for being cruel, shallow, and just plain horrible people.  I myself am a K-Pop fan, and a fair share of my friends (in the real world) are as well.  I've had it with this inexcusable behavior.  This is the reason why I prefer to call myself a fan of J-Pop over K-Pop.  You guys can really suck.  STOP IT!  This frustrated rant is brought to you by the fugly (at least on the inside. . . where it counts) T-ara fans.  [Summary: three members of Berryz Koubou as part of a SCRIPTED variety show (the host was there too) crashed a T-ara event.  They do the usual comedy-thing, but fans started yelling "Die!" + "You're not cute at all" and even calls about not ignoring them. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]  Stop being trolls who aren't actual trolls but just a bunch of sour grapes.  I don't want to be your friend and you are scaring away other fans.  Do you think I have any interest in learning more about T-ara now?  No!  I'm planning on never purchasing any music from T-ara again.  I don't want to deal with this sh*t.  I'm boycotting T-ara.  One of the reasons Hello Project started to die for me was because fans were being butt-heart that they aren't relevant anymore.  

I was pondering doing a 'State of the Project' post.  (Like the title I came up with?)  But I decided against it because I don't think I was going to bring up any new opinions, except my surprise in Berryz.  

I still find the music so-so.  However, I was surprised by how captivated I was by their performance.  They have a wonderful variety in personalities and looks.  I reminded me a bit of old Morning Musume.  I still don't think they'll make it because of the music and management.  While watching this performance I was struck with the thought that Miyabi has never been this beautiful.  Risako is still her sassy sex bomb self.  Momo has taken up Michishige's character (which is throughly entertaining).  All the other members bring their own elements into the mix.  If only I enjoyed the music, because I don't have the money to buy music I dislike.  I still love C-ute, by the way.  Morning Musume is like a foreign entity to me because I don't know 10th gen at all.  They should release more music or something so I can be more familiar.  If I find the latest concert to download I might do a review.  


The only K-Pop group where I follow their personalities, at least for girls, is Brown Eyed Girls.  The rest still seem to barbie for my taste.  I'm sorry they are all tall and too skinny [same reason why I've dumped MomoClo Z].


On the topic of not being cute.  Some male wota, whose dick doesn't seem to work right, threw a hissy fit about Amina's weight.  Well in this performance I thought she was much sexier than the two thin idols next to her.  





Here is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's upcoming single:

The chorus sounds too repetitive, but we'll see.  She does a wonderful job with selling it.


Here is the preview for Tomochin's upcoming single:

I tend to like all of her songs, even the digital and B-sides.  So I like it but nothing too exciting.  She has proven that she can do a variety, based on how many she has released already, but it would be nice if she surprised me.  Akimoto should try something with dubstep.


Here is the full PV for Arashi's upcoming single:

Arashi is fine with low budget because they are great performers.  They are probably the funnest group to watch.  However, their singles have been sub-par in comparison to their 2010 hits.  2010 was the year I got into them, so I guess my expectations are too high.  Their latest album was good, but the one before it was better.  I just want to see more amazing singles like Troublemaker and Monster

Change for Better or for Worse in Hello Project

A lot of H!P fans weren't too far off when they predicted that Niigaki and Takahashi would graduate together.  Niigaki announced that she will be graduating at the end of their spring tour.  They may not have done it together, but Niigaki sure didn't last much longer.  Although, I don't know why she didn't go with her.  I guess Niigaki didn't want to be overshadowed.  Now there are rumors flying around about graduations and new members being added to the other Hello Project groups.  Hello Project is being weird like that.  Their music and strategy at the moment seems to be to hold onto their core fan base, but with all the changes in members will they stick?  Or better yet, will the other members?  Key members of Morning Musume have jumped ship but that isn't surprising because it was only a matter of time.  However, s/mileage was a surprise.  

I've kind of lost interest in Hello Project.  The main reason is that I'm not very intrigued by their music.  S/mileage was a beacon of hope when they went major, but their singles following their first album were underwhelming like the rest of Hello Project (in my opinion).  I finally got what I wanted for Morning Musume: graduation of Niigaki and Takahashi and new members.  I fear that it won't help if the music side doesn't try harder.  I'm giving up on seeing Hello Project take risks.  I find it dull.  My new dream is that they quit and audition for NMB, HKT, of start a new idol group.  If they have ambition they would leave.  Sorry if that opinion hurts your feelings.  (Look at it this way.  I think the girls aren't living up to their potential.) 

Mina's Idol Interests

I feel since that I started this blog the groups I follow have changed.  However, I do still keep an eye on units out of loyalty to my readers.  (This usually only amounts to me including them in PV reviews now that I don't do as many release and news posts.)  The biggest development is my interest in Hello Project over to K-Pop idol acts.  I am going to explain as to why I like or dislike certain groups.

Ranking of My Favorite Idol Groups (subgroups excluded):

1. AKB48
2. Arashi
3. Brown Eyed Girls
4. SKE48
5. BiS
6. Tokyo Girls Style
7. NMB48
____________________________
8. Super Junior
9. Kara
10. 2NE1
11. Morning Musume
12. Super Girls
13. Fairies
14. 4Minute
15. C-ute
16. Miss A
17. Hey! Say! Jump
18. Chocolat

The lower they are the less attention I pay to them, but I consider them on my own personal radar.  After the line are the groups I like, but am not invested in.  They don't appeal enough that I would go to their concert or purchase their CD.  Morning Musume is back on my list now that Takahashi has graduated and they have new members, so I am curious.

Groups I Am Not Interested:

S/mileage
Momoiro Clover
T-ara
Girls Generation
Rainbow
After School
Idoling!!!
Berryz Koubou
Dream Musume
KAT-TUN
Kis-My-Ft2
NEWS
Sistar

These could be separated into sub-groups.  There are the boy bands that I just don't care about.  There are the K-Pop, female units who do this sexy but cute girl act that I find unbelievable annoying.  They fall back on my original stereotype of K-Pop girl units: barbies.  Finally, J-pop girl groups who have not released anything attracts my interest.  After Momoclo lost Akari I felt they lost a needed element.  She was different.  I also dislike their consistent 'mentioning' of Japan's biggest annual musical program.  It tastes of desperate.  S/mileage also suffered a significant loss, and at the same time they became diluted.  I wasn't surprised because after they released their first album their singles began to dip in quality.  Berryz Koubou and Idoling!!! seemed to have dropped off the face of the Earth, well not really.  They just don't come up much, or at least I never notice them.

I hope no one gets upset by this, it is just my opinion.

PV Reviews 110903

This is pretty good quality considering what it is for.  It is a bit dull.  I mostly watched this just because Yui from YuiKaori is in the video.
☆☆☆



This video is disappointing after their last couple PVs that they released.  It is a typical, low quality, idol PV.  
☆☆



This is basically footage from the album photo-shoot, the Mr. Simple MV making of, and their tour.  It is good, but I would of preferred a dance shot because of the strong wall of sound that this song is.
☆☆☆  



This looks like something any one can pull off with the right equipment.  I've seen better quality YouTube videos.  BiS made a video with a bunch of cellphones and it was something I enjoyed as much as the large production PVs.
☆☆



I like this PV.  The use of colors and basic, fun patterns combined with the other elements (like the extras) make for a playful video.  They use some cool pans and angles.  
☆☆☆



I adore the stylish style of this video.  The stop motion and comic produces a fun and entertaining video.  It looks like a video you and your friends could make (while lubricated) with better production quality.  
☆☆☆☆☆


I do like the concept and the return to fun PVs.  The close ups look spectacular.  I however disapprove of the dance shot.  The CGI isn't used effectively.  It looks both basic and overdone at the same time.  The universe shot is better, but I don't love it.  The outfits are cool for the most part but I don't think it is flattering on all the girls.  Takahashi's doesn't suit her in my opinion.  I also dislike the choreography.  It reminds me of the bland dance section AKB did in Flying Get, but I like the rest of AKB's dancing with their microphones.  I don't like the fact that they are dancing in a line.  I like to be impressed by formations and how they transition between them.  Theirs just looks lazy.  Unfortunately the main shot is the dance shot.  
☆☆


This is like a better version of their PV for Anime Expo.  The stop motion and bright colors if fun.  The costumes reminds me older Morning Musume videos.  It is odd at parts that I don't even try to figure out like PONPONPON.  I don't like the far-away shot in the clouds with members clumped together.  It lacks a focus.   
☆☆☆☆ 



I've reviewed the preview, but they added in some cool behind the scenes shots at the beginning.  After watching Morning Musume's PV I have to compliment them for their choreography.  It isn't even that difficult, but combined with their strong dancing abilities and formations it is the best part of the video.  Good, considering this video is mostly dance shots.  I don't love the zoom in single shots of the various girls.  It seems stiff at times.  The center is good in her close-ups.  I have to mention the fact that I hate that these groups exist: one girl singing in what they call a girl group.  I want them all to sing or it is a solo artist with back up dancers!   
☆☆☆☆



Part of me wishes that this whole video was Ayu singing in the profile-close up.  It is just the preview so maybe they'll do some other interesting shots besides them zooming past people.  (I'm only going to review some of the previews Ayu released.)  
☆☆☆☆



The guy in drag sining to her is kind of awkward, but I like the group shot of her singing among half-naked guys.  
☆☆☆☆☆



I love the simplistic beauty of this PV.
☆☆☆☆☆



I can't even tell if she is in the Happy Girl Project or in Hello Project.  This video is just vanilla, which is sad after hearing that she has a strong voice.  This isn't going to help her be successful.  Mano Erina is way more intriguing than her. 
☆☆



NOOOO!  A whole entire cat girl video?  Really?  I like the song, but the video makes me think the girls are cheap.  AKB48's was only a segment and was playful.  This is just annoying like girls on halloween who dress up in sexy clothes and just add animal ears and more make-up.  
☆

Are they all seducing the same guy?  They should of cast some other guys for more man candy.  I like how they messed with the traditional dance shot, which looks more like they are performing at a club.  
☆☆☆☆



Too much guy-liner for me (emokid *cough cough ; ).  The choreography is wonderful.  I don't get the winter theme.  Is it the lyrics?  Oh. . . they are saying they are so hot that they make ice melt in winter right?  The close up shots are meh.  I like a couple like the one with diagonal lines of light.  Besides the dance shots there isn't much worth watching.  
☆☆☆

Mina's Favorite Idol Concert

Hello! Project 2006 Winter ~Wonderful Hearts~ (H!P)

There is no major competition except from Hello Project's Anniversary concert, AKB48's 2nd day at Yoyogi, or their first concert tour.  Everything is perfect.  The members all look great and sound great.  I love the music.  The costumes are good. . . well for the most part (but the girls look good).  The setlist is lovely and how they shuffle the members together.  I just can't love this concert.  It is taking me forever to torrent it.  If I ever find this in Japan I'll purchase it in a second, but it is old so it hard to find.

NOTE : I'm still not sure for "L FOR YOU" because I really can't get what is it exactly

Hello!Project Kids Rank - April

Sorry everyone~
It's already end of May but I haven't post my H!P Kids ranking for April wew
And the rank for this month..
1. Suzuki Airi

Well, she is my bias, I can't even change her place for months may be :P
Eventhough she only got a few line in Momoiro Sparkling but I think she did it great. She can match her voice with the theme (this song has a really cute theme). >w<

2. Kumai Yurina

Not much comment. I just wondering why she didn't have much fans afterall?

3. Okai Chisato

Still, she has a great voice. Eventhough she can't match her voice with cute theme that's why she got a lot of lines in Momoiro Sparkling I think), we still can enjoy hearing her voice.

4. Natsuyaki Miyabi

Big change? Yes! She's really beautiful and photogenic. Right now on Berryz she look like one of the youngest member. She got a nice cute costume/hairstyle meanwhile the others get a more "mature" costumes.

5. Yajima Maimi

Another boosted up. She was really great. You can see how gorgeous she is in "Ran" stage play. And I think her aura is brighter lately (LOL. don't know what should I say)

6. Sugaya Risako

I've been pity with her makeup-styler because she looks so old with her makeup. I think she will much pretty without a lot of makeup. She is naturally pretty.

7. Tsugunaga Momoko

Hmmm.. I don't have any comment though~

8. Shimizu Saki

It's not because I dislike her, but it's the others that make me want to put them in a good position so captain get down ^^;

9. Nakajima Saki

I think her voice become a little stronger lately. But still I can hear her exhausted while singing in the concert. But I like her when she encourage the audience to sing along.

10. Hagiwara Mai

She make a good couple with Chissa in many ways. That way she could express a good face expression I think. Because I don't like her stare at all haha. And I think she's the one who got the most mistakes in dance.

11. Tokunaga Chinami

Have you seen her trying to speak english in Seattle? She is so cute. She's energetic but she could be ashamed sometimes. ^w^

12. Sudou Maasa

I think she have to practice how to pose well LOL~
