You're right, all their singles have been sold in more than 50k (except Mikan, Sexy Boy, Ambitios and Pepper Keibu) *currently reading it from jpopstop XD* but since their 5th labum, sales are awful.

Does anyone know where I could find lyrics to hajimete no keiken by mano erina?

Mr. Goto · #**163** 16th June 2009, 09:57 PM

^ I've been looking for them also. If I ever find them I'll post them here.

Did anyone hear the news that Pucchimoni and Tanpopo are coming back? They are going to be revealed at the upcoming H!P summer concert. I think they are just a one shot thing though...

I'm thinking that they are going to kinda be like the old summer shuffles.

I miss the shuffles but it's nice to see them reviving old groups ^^

1) What do you think, why MM gained so big popularity back then? Was it because they were kawaii magnets for perverts or people really enjoyed their cute appealing/music? I meet many people saying that Hello!Project was made exactly for that - to gain fanservice of old perverts and youngers...
2) What do you think, why is MM loosing it's popularity NOW? Because fav members graduated, their music has become boring?

1) I think the novelty of an ever-changing line-up (which was new at the time) was a big attraction. The girls were chosen based on talent more than looks, and were older at the time, too (I really think if someone like Kemeko auditioned now, she wouldn't make it). They were able to appeal universally at one time because of what Neko★munication said. I'd basically echo the rest of that post, e.g. lack of personality, exposure, etc.

Honestly, I think personality skipped a generation (literally, haha) from the 6th to the 8th. Hahaha. But I think if they were to appear on what they used to do before (H!M, HEY! x 3, etc.), they'd be right back in it. Old Utaban was also fun compared to now.

2) I think the ever-changing line-up is the exact reason they're losing popularity. It's like a double-edged sword; one side gains fans with the new members and line-ups, while the other side loses fans for the same exact reason. Plus, DANCE*MAN was amazing. His songs were the best, they're much more catchier than they are now. I think Momusu established a "catchy hook" image, so now that they don't have it, it's hard (period).

I think they'll last, but not be as popular as they were before, sadly.

And are we serious about the Korean member? I really think we need a 9th generation already, with like, 3 or 4 new members.

nemesisyume · #**170** 22nd June 2009, 03:55 PM

what is their newest stuff?
I've only been listening to old stuff so I don't really know about their new things ~

RyRyMini · #**171** 22nd June 2009, 05:20 PM

Their newest single (Momusu) is Shouganai Yume Oibito, and before that it was Naichau Kamo.

Kago has a new single coming out on the 24th - no hesitAtIon. And kind of recently, Yaguchi Mari's single, Seishun Boku came out..

I don't really follow the other H!P groups so I don't know about them..xD. I think Berryz just came out with Seishun Bus Guide/Rival though.

paperitahra · #**172** 22nd June 2009, 09:55 PM

I really don't know what to think about the new Korean member... Is she really gonna be part of Momosu? 9th gen? Whoa...
It's kinda sad, how they are trying to make Momosu more international with all the foreign members and make them more popular in Asia. I do love Linlin and Junjun but I thought it was just gonna be them...

It kinda looses it's meaning if there's gonna be a more of them.

nemesisyume · #**173** 22nd June 2009, 10:09 PM

I think I should download something new later ~

RyRyMini · #**174** 22nd June 2009, 11:15 PM

It's unknown what Tsunku is going to do with the new Korean girl..she could just be an Egg. I doubt she'll join Momusu.

visionfactory · #**175** 23rd June 2009, 01:14 AM

This photo was missing from my last post ^^

I hope she adds her to ºC-ute or Berryz!!

She really looks like Risako in this one! though I think it's just the angle

Mr. Goto · #**176** 23rd June 2009, 06:40 PM

WTF AT NUMBER 10. NEW V-U-DEN??

nothing will replace the original why is H!P doing this. ugh these ~revival~ units better just be for this one album.

**milky_way** · #**177** 23rd June 2009, 06:50 PM

Hell yes!! @ High-King. Bring them back, Tsunku

When does this come out anyway?

Mr. Goto · #**178** 23rd June 2009, 07:00 PM

^ July 15th. I'm okay with him bringing back units like High-King, Aa, and ZYX cause most of the original members are still there. But my precious v-u-den, tanpopo, minimoni, and pucchimoni...

EDIT*
nvm nvm this is the song high-king is covering (I THINK)

!

Neko★munication · #**179** 23rd June 2009, 07:19 PM

There's no confirmation that Jang Dayun will be joining Momusu. I personally hope not...

As for new v-u-den: WTF. High-King coming back is cool, Aa! coming back is cool too, but NEW V-U-DEN???

No one can replace Charmy/Yui/Erika. Grrrr. It angers me just to think of one of the H!P Kids trying to fill their spots. No. I was never a huuge fan of Minimoni or Pucchimoni so I'm still excited for those revivals, but now I can understand why some fans who are closer to them are pissed off - v-u-den's my absolute fave H!P group (after Momusu), and I cannot imagine it with new members.

Oh well, let's see how it goes. On the bright side, maybe we'll at least get to hear some old v-u-den songs performed again!

RyRyMini · #**180** 23rd June 2009, 09:11 PM

I just wonder who will be in those groups. I'm happily shocked that Linlin got a solo on this new album!! Her voice rivals Ai's. Have you guys seen this;
