oh. that's their name huh? hahaha. didn't know about that "Ex-ceed!"
im just happy that the panda got that exposure but also disappointed that nothing came out of it, song-wise. oh well.

miyabi is kinda like rika for me. she's EVERYWHERE! hahaha. dominating the subgroups.

^lol yeah. Stuff like that normally turns me off but I love Miya so much I wouldn't mind if she ends up in a couple of more groups hehe.

Probably not but it would be awesome. T.T

Oh, btw dunno if this has been posted here yet but S/mileage's 1st album has been decided for a winter release date:

スマイレージファーストアルバム今冬発売決定!
S/mileage first album winter release decided!

More details (titles and release date) about it will be announced soon. The source is a post from their official site but I'm way too lazy to post the link. xD

I just heard about Eri... I'm so bummed :(

^ how bout the pandas?

i have a friend whose more of a BK fan than MM. she told me that fans consider Miyabi like Kaori of BK. is that true? she the expert in BK. so i kinda believe her.

and awesomeness for S/mileage album! i bet the indies stuff would be there like c-ute's first album. XD. i wont mind though, as long as we can get more than 5 new tracks.

I'm so glad that S/mileage girls are getting their first album so fast ^_^

Me too! I am going to purchase Bijin Mama but it's nice to know I'll eventually have all their other singles on CD soon so I can buy the album to make up for not buying the previous singles. XD

I'm not really a MM fan and I don't know much about Kaori so I can't really comment on your friend's statement. But Miyabi is one of the "triple main" in BK who usually get the most lines and are generally the most popular in BK rankings (from my experience) so it's not too surprising that she gets chosen for sub-groups . I think as of now though, she has been in the most sub-groups out of any of the other girls (Aa!, Buono!, Ex-ceed!, and Sexy Otonojan).

Miyabi has the best 'live voice' in BK imo, I mean she can sing well while doing the choreography

Miyabi's seen as more of a sex/attractive object than Kaori was. At least that's what I've observed. xD

And also, she does sing really well. The choreography doesn't count for much because Berryz's is always so campy and basic.

HQ preview of Muten Musume's "Appare Kaiten Zushi" is out now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fua-L...ayer_embedded#!

i think that the song sounds good :yes
btw, the limited edition of this single comes with 24 page photobook.
and i can't event wait for MoMusu's 44th single! luckily, there's only 1 month between these two.

I got the impression from the beginning that LinLin and JunJun were only temporary additions to MM, so I'm not so surprised to see them go. (Although I will miss Linlin :yfrown)

I'd hoped that Eri's solos in Kimagure Princess meant Tsunku was giving her a more prominent role in the group. But alas... MM is now AI AND REINA and some other girls

I think you forgot Sayumi since she is the most popular member right now

I really like Appare Kaiten Zushi :)

HIGH-KING = MM
hahaha!

Not bad. I really like it! These are the kind of songs I like from them. hehe It shall become my theme song whenever I eat sushi. :D

LoL!!! Afternoon Musume δ

Gohoubi no Afternoon Coffee is a remake of Morning Coffee btw ^^ it's a good CM

Afternoon Musume finally exists! XD

Hey people have you ever seen a Berryz bikini picture?

Because some people say that the Captain (Saki) of Berryz Koubou doesn't like being photographed in bikini so that's why they don't do group bikini shoots for their calendars ._.

And this is the reason because she is the only Berryz Koubou member with no solo photobook released plus she has a little fanbase (look the July ranking for hello project store below, credits to Himalia@HO)

1 Ai Takahashi
2 Sayumi Michishige
3 Eri Kamei
4 Yuuka Maeda
5 Erina Mano
6 Maimi Yajima

21 Sodou Maasa
22 Chinami Tokunaga
23 Chisato Okai
24 Saki Shimizu
25 Mai Hagiwara

^I think I've heard something like that too and that's part of the reason she chooses not to do a photobook (since bikini shots are like standard for those). Then there's the "want to be taken seriously for her talent" reasoning. Don't know how true either of those are though. :P And yep, as expected Momo-Miya-Risa are the top Berryz members. XD Wow, congrats to Yuuka!

I don't know much about classic Momosu to be properly excited about Afternoon Musume but it does look interesting.

Im psyched with Afternoon Musume! although the lineup is like Manatsu no Kousen minus aya,sayaka plus miki,makoto. hahaha.

and im with you guys. why nacchi? should have been someone from the 4th gen.
