Hello people. Well, I decided that I'm gonna use this blog for 'ranting' - aka, picspaming so I can talk about my fav artists. So sit back, relax, and get ready to listen to me ramble.
Disclamier: All images [Other than the iPod. That's mine. NO TAKEY ANGEL!] are credited to Hello-online.org picboard and hellproject.com.
So, today's theme is - JAN!
MORNING MUSUME!
Well, where to start, where to start. I guess with the God of H!P. Morning Musume was founded by this guy (Yeah, I don't know what the bottom says either)
Who held auditions for his group, Sharan Q
And has now created the greatest JPOP girl group ever. Even if it has gotten a little dull. I'm sorry, but I really like the up-beat, poppy songs of early 2000. Those were cute. Now everything's depressing. Anyways ~
FIRST GENERATION!
Nakazawa Yuko! First Leader. Older of everyone in the agency! I still think she's pretty cool. I don't listen to her music and quite honestly, when I first listened to MM, she kinda freaked me out. But she's real. She doesn't hold back on the camera - Especially on Utaban. Speaking of Utaban, who else agrees that she and Nakai-kun look cute?
Fukada Asuka. She was the youngest of First gen. I don't have much to say about her, except I think she's a coward. She left MM, the best thing in the world, for school. Which, of course, is an extremely smart decision. Got nothin' against it. But then she drops out? WTF?! Stick with one or the other, dude!
Aya Ishiguro. She was the originial mood maker. She always smiled and made jokes. I was quite sad when I found out she left H!P, and I was 10 years behind! But now she makes their outfits, so it's cool.
Everybody's favorite. Natsumi Abe, Nacchi, Abe-san {If you're Sayumi}, everybody loves her. And I'll agree, she's cute. Who can forget that LOVE MACHINE Utaban scene?
"DARRE?!" *pout* kawaii.But after MM, she's got nothing? Have you seen how many singles she's put out? Like, 5. Come on, NACCHI! GAMBATTE!
Kaori Iida! JOHNSON! Kaorin! The second leader and a great MM-er. She was the first to get hitched and the first to start a family. Even if that family was cut short. GAMBATTE JOHNSON! Keep moving forward! Isn't she the best? Though I kind of like 'Johnson' better than I like 'Kaori' It might be aging, it might not be. But with her smile now, it kind of creeps me out.
SECOND GENERATION!
Kei Yasuda. The victim of all Takaki-san's cruel jokes. I don't know if it's for her appearence -which does scare me just a bit - or for her horrendous sweating (yeah, I don't get it) But I think she's just a sweet girl doing her best.
Sayaka Ichii aka Kaa-san. I don't get what is so 'kaa-san' about her, but I'll take any nickname that sounds cool. Don't got much to say about her, but congragulations about the comeback.
AND NOW FOR THE QUEEN! THE THIRD LEADER! YAGUCHI MARI - SENPAI! The smallest, cutest, and awesomest Musume that ever danced.She seemed quiet and shy and then -SEXY BEEEEAAM! - she was Sexy. Who could forget the 'Love Hello' jokes on Utaban? She was somebody who could be both shy and out-there. And then - she was forced to quit. :,( .
But, then she got Shun. And, come on, what couple is ever cuter? You've got a normal size, HOT! dude and then you've got itssy, bitsy, MINI MONI Yaguchi. CHO CHO MECCHA CHO KAWAII! OPEN YOUR EYES SHUN AND GET HER BACK! Now she's back with 'My Youth' I can't wait to see what she's got in story. YAGUCHI-SENPAI SUKI!
THIRD GENERATION!
Our first case of Shy girl gone Sexy. I don't think anybody has changed more than Maki Goto. I mean - LOOK! She even dated NINOMIYA-KUN! She stood in between OHMIYA! *gah* This girl's got guts. Maki's the entire reason I got into JPOP and MM. With her powerful single, Uwasa no Sexy Guy, I was brought into the light. I owe her one.
FOURTH GENERATION!
Rika Ishikawa. Negative Rika. Charmy. Prince Franz. ANGRY. Rika has done it all. Another case of shy gone Sexy. She was so innocent. Can you believe she use to be chubby? {WATCH her on Domoto Kyoudai. You'll find out} And then, she was Charmy, a beacon of Sexy. And then Biyuuden with 'Jaja Uma Paradise' And now she's with Yossie in Harajuku fashion clothes. Dream come true, I tell you.
And let's just take a peak at her as Prince Franz.
So Nice.
The other part of the HANGRY&ANGRY duo. Say hello to Yoshizawa Hitomi. Also known as Yossie and HANGRY. The girl who dared to be a boy. With her yukatas and ugly man sandals. I'm so glad Tsunku kept her for so long. He even made her fourth leader. HELLO! Awesomeness!
Fourth generation is just made up of duos, ne? Part one of the BAKA duo - Nozomi 'Nono' Tsuji-Sugiura. The hula-hooping girl who turned into a Mama. The second to get married and to start a family. And I have to say, excellent choice of a man, Tsuji-chan.
Such a cute Papa.
Another CUTE case of height difference. Can't wait for her comeback, if she chooses to have one. Right now, I wish her, Taiyo-kun, and baby Noa the best of luck.
The second part of the Baka duo - THE REAL BAKA - Kago Ai. I remember when she use to giggle and was fun. Now...I think she's just pushing the boundaries of what she can and can't do. I'm rather disappointed. Can somebody please explain to me why after scandals, innocent stars just start going...completely downhill? Do she just think 'Well, everybody thinks I'm a whore, so I'm gonna act like one?' I mean - LOOK!
Am I the only one going WTF? But still, I kind of like her. I mean, Kung Fu Chef was killer and I have to say she was cute. I don't know, maybe my mind won't let my hate anything - or anyone - who works with Vaness Wu.
FIFTH GENERATION!
Let's start with the little scholar, shall we? I am quite impressed with Konno. She not only left to study, but she left to study at KEIO! KEIO! The best school in Japan. Well done, Asami. She didn't change much during her time as a Musume, but that's what makes her so cute. Good luck, KonKon, in your studies of Environmental Studies.
Another scholar, our Ogawa Makoto. Honestly, when she came back, I was expecting her to have a bit of an Aussie accent. How could you get any weirder. Our second tomboy of the group. She's so cute.
Our present leader, and favorite Fukui girl. Takahashi Ai-chan. She has changed quite a lot. Another case of shy to Sexy. I actually am kind of ticked at how much attention she gets. But that's mainly just me wanting JunJun getting more spotlight. Another note, who didn't love her in QED?
Another MINI MONI looking cute next to guy in a height difference scene. And even though I was a bit ticked to begin when she got both lead musicale roles, you gotta admit, she was spectacular.
Ribon No Kishi
Cinderella
The youngest of fourth generation, now Sub-leader Niigaki Risa! Gaki is a Gaki, ne? [Gaki = brat] Look at the behind-the-scenes of the PVS nowadays. She bugs everybody. But she's kind of cute still. And the way she looked in Nanchatte, ah! Perfection, thy name is Risa.
SIXTH GENERATION!
The latest to marry. Fifth leader, former H!P solo artist, and the eldest of 6th gen. Miki Fujimto aka MIKITTY! She was a character, especially with her 'I-can-touch-my-nose-with-my-tongue' self. She's hysterical and I hope her and her husband - Mr. Shouji Tomoharu - have many laughs in their marriage.
Our resident yankii who doesn't like to be a yankii. Reina is adorable. And all of her photobooks give her a sort of rapper feel at least once or twice, ne?
I hope that when Takahashi graduates [It's been 8 yrs dude, it's gonna be soon] Either Reina or Risa step up as leader.
The goddess of kawaii-ness, Sayumi Michishige. The girl who just wants to be cute, not beautiful or sexy. Just cute. Aside from growing up and growing out her hair, Sayumi hasn't changed all that much. She's still a little airheaded, but a great asset to MM.
Kamei Eri - wo de xiao wu gui mei. [My little turtle girl] Kamei hasn't changed all that much either and I'm happy about that. In America, you'd be SCREAMED at if you didn't have straight, perfect teeth. But Kamei gets away with her adorable little fangs. I swear, it's all in the smile.
SEVENTH GENERATION!
Our little Seiyu, Kusumi Koharu. I don't really like her all that much. Her voice is a bit too nasily when she sings. But she's okay. Always out there and GENKI.
EIGHTH GENERATION!
Mitsui Aika is so friggin' adorable! I love her talking voice. She sounds like she should be in Berryz. It's absolutely awesome!
Qian Lin, aka LinLin, the HaHa musume. She's all smiles, all the time. She hasn't started growing on me - really, I'm kind of pissed she got a solo and not JunJun, and I really hate how nasily her voice is - but I like her character.
The ex-model, Li Chun aka JunJun. My now favorite. When I saw her model pics, I was so surprised. They don't even look like her! I wish JunJun would get more solos, she has such a beautiful voice.
Well, thanks for your time. Be sure to check Morning Musume out. Until next time -
Ja Ne ~
