Hello!Project 2013 Review + Rankings!

Today, I'll be ranking Hello!Project releases for this year's 2013!
I'll be ranking their outfits, songs, and MVs. I'll first rank each category from every group and will end with the whole H!P.

This will be my first time to make a post of my H!P rankings, so it really took time to finish it. Since new year is nearly approaching, it's expected to be very busy, busy, busy. :)

Just to let everyone know, all that you can read in this post are all of my opinions. You guys can skip the review part if you get bored reading my 'maybe-not-so-interesting' reviews of each single, but who knows? You might enjoy some parts of it. LOL xD

Merry, Merry Christmas H!P-iers!

Merry, merry, merry Christmas everyone! Have you forgave every single person that made a mistake in your life? Have you already prepared the presents to give to each special person you love?

Today, I have made a special christmas post for you guys to enjoy on this special occasion!  This will be my present to each fan who have always supported Hello!Project and Chuu!Sugoi!Idol. :D

I hope you guys will love it and enjoy the rest of the post (^_^)

Takahashi Ai is Getting Married Next Year

Takahashi Ai makes headlines with the news of her upcoming marriage next year with her 2 year boyfriend.

Morning Musume gets pranked in front of 500 fans

As much as I like pranks, I don't know how I'd react if I were in their position---- sleeping then the next thing you know is you woke up in front of 500 wotas staring at you. That feels weird...and creepy. O.o

Morning Musume wins BJMA2013 Active Artist of The Year

Congratulations to Morning Musume! They deserve all the good things that has come their way especially this year and it is only proper that they get recognized for all the hardwork they've put on their performances.
Omedetou for bringing home an award from Billboard Japan Music Awards 2013. Wishing for more awards to come!!!

Morning Musume to change its NAME? （゜◇゜）

Yep! That's right, Morning Musume will change its name, or most likely to modify it.
Here is the translation of Tsunku's announcement:

From the bottom of my heart, I have to thank you very much for always supporting Morning Musume。 and Hello! Project.
 
Without delay, I have an information concerning Morning Musume。.
 
There will be a modification concerning the group's name Morning Musume。.
From the 1st of January 2014, the name of the group Morning Musume。 will be "Morning Musume。'14" (モーニング娘。’14 in Japanese). The way of reading the group's name is "Morning Musume One Four".
On 2014, Morning Musume。 kept this group's name for 17 years. From now on, to leave no doubt like "About when has this single song "XXX" been released!?" or "During which period did the member "XXX" take part of Morning Musume。?", the year will be displayed and the group can continue its activity after this for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.
Therefore, the 1st January 2015, the group's name will become "Morning Musume。’15" (Morning Musume。 One Five).
 
Well, it might become confusing and might give up lol, but at any rate, from the New Year's Day, please support those girls who will become "Morning Musume。’14"!
 
The 55th single of Morning Musume。 '14 will be released on 29th January 2014. From now on, a new feeling will start!
 
6th December 2013
Morning Musume。's Producer
Tsunku♂                                      UP-FRONT LINK FACEBOOK POST 

 I was pretty surprised when I read the announcement since it's very unexpected for it to happen and I still need to absorb everything as much as I can about the Momusu-changing-name-situation.

OKAY! So yeah~ I thought finally that's it's a pretty good idea and a little amusing (or funny) LOLOLOL It will be an easy indicator for all fans, especially the new ones, to easily know which year have this MM line-up something.

Just as I read the comments about the whole announcement, I found one comment that caught my attention.

Funny eh? Morning Musume '48. I will surely look forward for that one. By that time, I'd be 51 years old. LOL But still, changing Morning Musume's name into "Morning Musume 'XX" is just so 'not-too-catchy'. Keeping the original name is so much better than anything. We'll atleast, the "Morning Musume" is still there, or I'll freak out if Tsunku change everything.

Even if we protest and do everything to keep the original name, we actually can't do anything about it 'cause Tsunku (and UFA) only have the power to do anything for this group. So let's just deal with it and support them. We might love the new name as time passes by. I understand that everyone is now freaking out and want to kill Tsunku because of it, but hey, what about making this change into a more 'POSITIVE' energy, and be excited about it? ｡◕‿◕｡

I honestly freaked out for a while, but I know this name will be in pretty much good use.
SO LET'S KEEP SUPPORTING MORNING MUSUME EVERYONE! (=^-ω-^=)

Juice=Juice "Ijiwari Shinai de Dakishimete yo" MV Preview

Okay, so few days ago, Tsunku blogged something about having Daishi in Ju=Ju's MV and of course, everyone's first reaction will be "WHAAAAAAAAT?!". It actually never happened before, having someone else to take place another unit's member for their dance shot. (Well, correct me it this happened before)

I really, really adore Daishi, but having her in other group's MV is just so WEIRD. VERY WEIRD.

I really thought that this MV will be very weird, or maybe I'm just over-reacting LoL Maybe I'm just so worried that there will be lesser Karin, but I was totally wrong xD Except for this one. x)

Is Karin really can't stand because of her injury? I just feel so "down" seeing this shot. Not in a very bad way, but they should at least put Karin in this shot and not Daishi. (>__<) and if she can't stand, they should just put a couch or something for Karin to sit on. LOLOLOLOL

Another thing, their outfit looks a little MM "Ai o Gundan" and High-King's "Cinderella Complex". Might be because of the black and red colors.

But anyways, I love their dance choreo, catchy and very J=J
It's been a while since I hooked myself up with J=J after Aina left, so yeah, pretty good comeback in my fandom top list.

Overall, I love the MV, and Daishi made a very good job taking part in J=J MV, I didn't really feel anything is missing (except for Aina)

Check it out if you still haven't!

Ha Ｙ(‘∇’ ) (yajima Maimi)

Good evening
It’s Maimi

It was rea~lly hot today, wasn’t it
The sound of the cicadas from outside when I was in the entryway leaving the house was incredible(゜o゜)/

 

I attached a picture of a sunflower in my update the other day…

When I passed by that sunflower today, I was surprised＼(◎o◎)／

It has become a lot taller than before

It had become so tall that it could no longer support its own head, so someone had tied it to a fence

It’s true that sunflowers grow facing the sun

It grew this much in this short period of time

It’s living with all its might this summer

Today I had a recording for the FM-PORT radio program
“℃-ute Yajima Maimi no I My MeMaimi~”

Thank you for sending in many letters today too

When I listen to the stories of everyone’s memories, even though they’re not my own experiences, I can imagine the scene in my head…
Strangely, I start to feel sentimental

I wonder if I start to feel sentimental because it’s reminiscent talk

This is something I happened to talk about with Nacky earlier,

but it seems there’s a lot of people who start to feel sentimental at dusk…

But I can’t sympathize with that

Nacky said “Eh~Σ(￣□￣)! Why((○(>_<)○))”,

but I think “Whoa~~ It feels good… It’s warm The setting sun is beautiful“, but I’m filled with a lot of happiness and become spellbound(*´-`)

But I get sentimental when the autumn sun is setting…
That fact that how a person feels differs because each person is interesting

Changing the subject

Today is Morning Musume member Suzuki Kanon-chan’s birthday

Right now we’re in the midst of the Hello! Project concerts,

and when Zukki was in front of me yesterday,

I tried calling out “Zukki“

“What is it(=⌒ー⌒=)” she responded,

so I joked “Hm?( ￣▽￣) I just wanted to try saying it“

And then, she got her revenge( ; ゜Д゜)lol

Zukki called out “Yajima-sa~n“,

and when I answered “Wha~t’s up(^ー^)”,

she said “I just wanted to try saying itヽ(゜▽゜)ノ”…

That kind of backstage interaction can only happen at the Hello! Project concerts

At any rate, Yaji loves Zukki’s friendly smile(〃▽〃)

Whenever I see that smile, I feel relieved…

She’s the type of person who I’d want to become friends with if we went to school together

I hope she’s able to keep that smile this year as well…

Happy birthday

And then, I have a happy announcement

《Cutie Sightseeing Hawaii Tour volume 3》 has been decided

There will be a special page for it on the Hello! Project official fan club website tomorrow, so please be sure to check it out

http://www.up-fc.jp/helloproject/

The 2 times we’ve gone in the past have been really fun…

I have unforgettable memories

When I think that I’ll be able to go to Hawaii with everyone in team ℃-ute again, I become so excited

Doesn’t my excitement show in today’s blog title f(^_^)

There will be commemorative photos with the members (and the picture will be signed by the members too)

There will also be a talk event

Please be sure to make fun memories with ℃-ute in Hawaii
