Lolz, Tenipuri doujinshi involving Minimoni~

EDIT: I originally wrote this about the raw scans I found, but I found a scanlation after I wrote this~ Scroll down to the first edit to download the scanlation, and the third edit for a better summary.

I was going through a doujinshi download list a bit ago, and I saw a doujinshi titled "Powerpuff Boys". And, being the uber doujinshi fan I am, I had to download it.
To my surprise, I found out that it doesn't really have much to do with the Powerpuff Girls. However...they're all crossdressing, and not only that: Ryoma, Kaidou, Eiji, and Fuji were dressing up as MINIMONI. The cartoon versions.
Lolz, I didn't get it at first. And since it's not scanlated, I still don't get most of it. But it involves Minimoni, lolz. xD
Download link


Kaidou's Mika- lolz, guess it was cause of the bandana. And I thiink Ryoma's Mari, Fuji's Aibon, and Eiji's Nono. xD
I didn't recognize the outfits from that picture...I didn't realize it involved Minimoni until page 6 when "Minimoni." is in big text at the top. xD I freaked out, being the uber H!P fan I am...
The rest of the regulars are "Dekamoni.". I Wiki'd it cause it sounded kinda familiar, and apparently it was a one-shot thing (not H!P related) that Tsunku produced or something. *shrug*
So they go out and buy the stuff for the outfits, and then they change into them. Fuji and Eiji look uber cute. <333 Then they're like sharing a strawberry or something (Heyyyyy, didn't TsujiKago have a pic of that in a photobook once? I swear I've seen a pic somewhere. =/)...and Yuuta comes in, only to freak out and run away. (Hey, I'd run away too if I saw my older brother crossdressing and sharing a strawberry like that with another crossdressing guy. xD)
Then we see the others in Dekamoni outfits...Tezuka can't seem to smile. xD I don't really know what's going on though. Wish I knew more Japanese. =/ Then...everything's back to normal? Next to a panel of Oishi on page 34, there's part of a line from a Minimoni song- "Minimoni. Telephone de~" (the rest of the line being "ring ring ring", lolz). And then Yuuta gets one of the skirts. xD


Lolz. I need to find a translation/scanlation for this. I should ask on NF next time I go on.
I mean, there are a ton of doujinshi I want a translation for, but this is Minimoni. TRANSLATION NOW PLZ


EDIT: lolz, ahaha, immediately after posting this, I googled it, and one of the first results was a scanlation. xD I should look first, huh?
Enjoy.

EDIT again: rawr, ok, so now I can't stop thinking of the regulars dancing to Minimoni. It's quite scary. O_o
Lolz, I haven't listened to Minimoni in a while (actually, I've listened to CRAZY ABOUT YOU recently, but none of their uber hyper first-gen songs), but I feel a weird urge to go through and listen to one of their albums...

EDIT once again!
So, now that I've read the scanlation, I can probably summarize it a bit better now. It's Seigaku's culture festival, the third-years' last one at Seigaku. A vote was held, and it was decided that the 9 regulars on the tennis team would dress up as Minimoni and Dekamoni. Kaidou's in charge of the costumes, and for Minimoni, he puts together exact replicas of the costumes from that picture I linked to above of their cartoon versions.
So the part with Fuji and Eiji is Fuji's sister taking pictures of them in poses, and then she has them pose with the strawberry...and Yuuta walks in, runs away, and the "da-ne" guy (whatever his name is.) from the same school says that he's lucky to have three sexy older sisters. xD
Oishi's practicing his dances, Tezuka's trying to smile, and Inui's online figuring out how to look best in a mini-skirt. Then Fuji looking uber cute and some other stuff...then it's over, and when Ryoma hears "Minimoni. Telephone! Ring Ring Ring" his body immediately reacts and starts dancing even on the back of Momo's bike...xD Oh, and Fuji sends a skirt to Yuuta and wants to take pictures of them crossdressing together. xD

Here are some more pics from the scanlation:





I definitely want to buy this doujinshi. :D

I'm not dead, I promise. Just....kinda Prince of Tennis obsessed.

Lolz, I just realized it's been over a week since my last non-scans post. I swear I'm not dead. xD
But...for the past few days I've been watching a lot of the Prince of Tennis anime. I haven't even been on NarutoFan for 3 days...
And I've also been reading some of the manga, and doujinshi-hunting...xD I think I'm actually going to buy a few Golden Pair doujinshi (rated PG. xD I don't like hentai!) cause I can't find scans, and they look really good...>_<
(lolz, if anyone knows any good Tenipuri doujinshi scanlation sites (or even raws), tell me! xD)

So, I promise I'll be back soon. xD I've watched through about episode 90 of Tenipuri...and I have up through 100 downloaded. After that I might end up taking a break if it takes a while to download...

I'll still do scans if anyone requests them...

[Scans] HOME MADE Kazoku's Nagareboshi, nobodyknows+' Hero's Come Back, Hoshimura Mai's Sakura Biyori, ELT's Grip!

Explanation and music list

Ahhhh, I scanned these yesterday but I totally forgot to actually upload them and everything. xD
So I actually got a request yesterday, and since yesterday was my last day of school, I was more than happy to go down into the basement and spend an hour or so scanning some j-pop CDs. xD It's annoying, cause we can't find the installation CD for it and the only computer it works on is my mom's laptop...which doesn't have internet. Thankfully, I have a small flash drive I've been using to bring the scans up to my computer.

The request was for HOME MADE Kazoku's Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star~. And I'm not going to go downstairs and hook the scanner up and everything just to scan one single, so I grabbed some other CDs too. Since I was scanning Nagareboshi, the first Naruto Shippuuden ending, I figured I'd scan Hero's Come Back!!, the first Shippuuden opening too. If I'm scanning those, I might as well scan my other anime OP/ED singles, so I also scanned Sakura Biyori, the 11th ending for Bleach, and Grip!, the 4th opening for Inu Yasha. I also brought down Aruiteru by Morning Musume, but it took me longer than I thought to scan the others, and I figured it'd take me forever to scan the entire single including the photobook...so I'm leaving that for another time.



So, first up is Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star~, by HOME MADE Kazoku. Not only do I love this song, but it's the first ending to Shippuuden. (I don't like the chibis in the ending video, though. Cute, but it just doesn't fit Shippuuden.)

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star~ scans


Next up is Hero's Come Back!!, by nobodyknows+. I absolutely looove this song~ xD And it's the first opening to Shippuuden. To be honest, I like the TV size better than the full version...but the full version's great too.
This is the CD+DVD version. I have no idea if it's limited or not. xD I don't think there's a difference with the cover or anything, but I have no idea.

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Hero's Come Back!! scans


Next is Sakura Biyori, by Hoshimura Mai. It's a slow song, which I'm usually not too much of a fan of, but I love this song. ^^ (I was actually going to sing it at karaoke at Anime Boston, but I forgot until we had already left. xD;;) It was used as the 11th ending to Bleach.
This is the first press edition, which also included a 2007-2008 Bleach calendar. It starts with April 2007, and ends in March 2008, and features one character on each page, which takes up two months. I included those scans in the .rar file.

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Sakura Biyori scans


Last (but not least) is Grip!, by Every Little Thing. It was used as the 4th opening to Inu Yasha, which used to be a huge obsession of mine. This was actually one of the first j-pop singles that I owned...it was from the first online purchase I made, which was Grip!, Moments by Hamasaki Ayumi, and Shine We Are! by BoA. This is still my favorite song by Every Little Thing~

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Grip! scans


So if I don't get any requests, my next scans post will probably include the rest of my current Morning Musume collection- Do it! Now, Ai no Dai 6 Kan, Rainbow 7, SEXY BOY, and Aruiteru.

[Scans] Ayaya's Ki ga Tsukeba Anata, Momusu's Chokkan 2, Momusu's Ambitious!

Explanation and music list

So since in my other post of the day (I figure from now on I should put scans in a separate post), I was talking about limited editions, I figure that since I haven't gotten any scan requests yet (not too surprised) I might as well post some scans I already have on my computer of some H!P limited edition singles. :D
I own 9 H!P limited editions (8 singles, 1 album), but I only have 3 scanned on my computer- Matsuura Aya's Ki ga Tsukeba Anata, Morning Musume's Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookizo!~, and Morning Musume's Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan.


First off, I guess we'll start with Ayaya's single. I absolutely loved this song when it first came out. I dunno why I bought the limited edition, considering the DVD was of her recording her radio show- I can't understand it at all. xD But I bought it anyway~

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Ki ga Tsukeba Anata scans


Next is Morning Musume's Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookizo!~. This was my...second Morning Musume purchase, I think...my first was Do it! Now back in August 2005 or something. But this was my first up-to-date purchase, and my first limited edition- I got this a few weeks after it came out in November 2005. I love both the title track and the b-side~
Since this is the limited edition, it came with 5 photocards, each with two girls. I scanned those too. :D

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookizo!~ scans


And last but not least, Morning Musume's Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan. This was released around the period where I wasn't into j-music that much anymore cause I got into Naruto and Bleach...and I hadn't touched Jpopsuki or anything in a while. But I had started a mission to get each and every limited edition Morning Musume single/mini-album/album as soon as they come out, so I got this anyway~ (after this I kinda failed the mission cause I totally forgot about Morning Musume and didn't even think about any more new singles until a few months ago when I got back into j-pop. 8D thankfully I can catch up cause there are still ways of getting the limited editions of the stuff I missed.)
This is the limited edition, so it came with eleven different interchangeable covers, one featuring each member at the front and one with all the members. The one featuring Reina is the main cover. I included scans of all the different covers in this. :D

Download the .rar file for the rest of the Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan scans


If I don't get any requests, I'll just post some other scans I already have done. I'm going to scan Kanashimi Twilight, Aruiteru, Tsumasaki, and WAO!! as soon as the Amazon package comes, but that could be a while...


(oh, and I just realized this is the second night in a row I've been up until almost midnight writing blog posts. xD;;; and now I'm uber-tired...well, at least it's summer. :D)

Possible new Yesasia order and some other random thoughts~

So I'm gonna place a Yesasia order soon, and I'm still contemplating what to get in it...this is what I have at the moment:
Morning Musume - Egao YES Nude (limited edition A CD+DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
Koda Kumi - Shake It Up (Korean Version)
Koda Kumi feat. SOULHEAD - D.D.D (Korean Version)
Koda Kumi - WIND (Korean Version)
Morning Musume - Onna ni Sachi Are (limited edition B CD+mini photobook)
Hello! Project 2005 - Summer Show '05 Selection Collection (photobook)
Naruto 33
Naruto 38
Aqua Timez - ALONES

I'm just waiting on ALONES to be available on Yesasia. =/ Hopefully it will be. I've had bad luck lately with Naruto/Bleach songs and Yesasia...Hero's Come Back!! (the Shippuuden opening) wasn't on there...Tsumasaki (the current Bleach ending) wasn't on there...
I'm definitely getting the Naruto volumes. I'm on a mission to collect all the part 2 manga volumes...xD I already have 32, and 34-37. They're so cheap compared to the English volumes...
I'm also definitely pre-ordering Onna ni Sachi Are. It's kinda hard to decide which limited edition to get since I know nothing about the song yet (it depends on what's on the DVD that comes with limited edition A), but since LE A is more expensive, I figure B is probably a better choice. If the PV comes out before I place the order and I like the song a lot (plus it depends what type of alternate PV it is- I probably won't get it if it's just a close-up version, but if it's a dance version or something I might want it), maybe I'll go with A.
Now, the rest of the order is what I'm not sure about...
I've always wanted some sort of H!P photobook. I was looking at my collection of photobook scans, and I looked up a few on Yesasia- but most photobooks are like $35, or even more. So, being the cheap person that I am, I looked for one that was cheaper. :D There were a few $20 photobooks (I think there was a Yossi one, and a W one, maybe more), and then I found the Summer 2005 Selection Collection. It's only $12. :D I have the concert DVD (ok, it's a burned DVD, but whatever), and I liked it a lot...so I think I'm gonna get it. Not too sure, though...
I don't usually buy overseas versions of anything. They're cheaper, but it just doesn't seem like the actual thing to me. xD However...when it comes to limited editions that are only still available in overseas versions...:D
I'll probably get the Egao YES Nude limited edition. It's the DVD edition, but it's cheap! It's $11.75- the Japan version of the REGULAR edition is $11.25. I want the single to continue with my Momusu collection, and if I can get a limited edition for only 50 cents more than the regular edition, why would I pass down the offer? xD
And the Koda Kumi singles...WHY the hell are they still available?? xDDD These were released (limited edition ONLY, so after it sells out, it's gone for good) over a year ago, in her 12 singles thing. I remember a year ago, I jumped at the chance to grab the Korean version of Birthday Eve (my favorite at the time), cause I thought it wouldn't last a month before selling out- considering most of the Japan versions were sold out before they were even released. But if I had the money (and didn't buy anything else), I could complete my collection right now by buying overseas versions of all the singles. I don't think there was one single that was completely sold out in all versions...maybe Birthday Eve was; I didn't check that since I already had it.
So, anyway, they're also pretty cheap, so...I limited myself to three, and I might end up bringing it down to two. I already own my two favorites, Birthday Eve and No Regret, so I took a look through for some of the other ones I really liked. I ended up narrowing it down to D.D.D, WIND, and Shake It Up. But these are probably the most expendable things on this list...if I have to cut it down because it's too expensive, these will probably be the first things to go.
I'm a sucker for limited ANYTHING. xD;; For some reason, the whole "there are only _______ copies in the world and you have one of them" concept appeals to me a LOT.

If anyone (I dunno, do I even have readers? I guess I must, cause I've had a few posts posted on International Wota, but I have yet to have one comment on this blog. xD) has any suggestions or any ideas or ANYTHING...comment.


Now for the 'other random thoughts'.
Fujimoto Miki's apparently been taken off of Young Town Doyoubi, and replaced by Michishige Sayumi. I don't listen to this show, but...
I hope this doesn't mean she'll be like Yaguchi Mari and not do much of anything for a while after this. =/ I hated (and to be honest, I still don't like this) that she wasn't doing too much, considering she's my favorite H!P member. I still say she needs to start doing more music stuff! D: Like, release something solo, or go with a group, or SOMETHING!
The difference between Miki and Mari, though, is that Mari only had Momusu...Miki still has GAM, and the solo career she put on hold when she joined Momusu. I'm expecting her to do something with either (or both) relatively soon...she's already in the GAM tour at the moment. I know for a while, Mari only did MCing at H!P tours- I don't know if she still does that or if she's started performing again. Haven't quite paid too much attention to recent tours- I was going to get the H!P winter 10th Anniversary boxed set, but it sold out a few days ago before I had the chance to place the order. =/

In other news, Niigaki Risa is replacing Tsuji Nozomi (in case anyone's been totally oblivious, Nono got pregnant and so she's taking a break from singing and stuff) as the seiyuu of Atena in the anime Robby to Kerobby. I kinda want to see this anime now. xD Too bad I can't find subs anywhere, or even raws. =/

This blog is turning into a full-on H!P blog (with some other j-music on the side), even though I originally meant it to be a bit of everything. xDD I didn't think I could focus enough on H!P to write a blog like this...guess I've proved myself wrong. xD With Hello! Project, there's soo much to write about~ It's one of the reasons why I loove H!P, besides the fact that I love this type of music. It's never boring, and you never have a long period of time where nothing happens, like you do with some other artists~
But I'm gonna try to put together a Naruto post tomorrow or Sunday...about the latest Shippuuden episode, the latest chapter (and how Karin actually looks good with red hair- as long as it's not Kishimoto doing the coloring), possibly tomorrow night's dub episode, and maybe (if I get through it this weekend) the 3rd uncut boxed set.


Some new scans will be coming in a bit~

J-pop scans, anyone?

EDIT: Okk, I'm not going to repost my collection every time I get new stuff or scan stuff, so I'm just gonna keep updating this post, k?
latest update: 2008.02.29 - new order~ Buono's latest single Renai Rider and debut album Cafe Buono (both LE), Kai's Valentine Kiss, and a few Prince of Tennis re-releases (Ryouma's version of future, Inui's DISTANCE, Hyoutei's Fujouri, and the 3 Guava Trio single


Lolz, I can't remember all the crap I was gonna write about after exams were over. 8D
But I still want to make a post, kinda to celebrate the beginning of summer (though, what a way to celebrate, I'm stuck going to the orthodontist and getting lower braces tomorrow. =/ I didn't even know until yesterday.), so...
I posted my current j-pop collection in my ThePPN Wiki profile yesterday, and today I went through and posted some of my personal scans...though I haven't scanned my entire collection yet or anything. I figured...as long as I'm scanning things, why not post them to this blog? xD

I'm planning on scanning Momusu's Aruiteru and Kanashimi Twilight, and Ore Ska Band's Tsumasaki and WAO!! as soon as the Amazon package comes. Dunno when that's gonna be.
Oh, and for scans, I'm including all extras too- except full photobooks like the ones from (miss)understood and LOVE COOK, cause I don't think I can scan those properly without ruining the binding or something. The mini photobooks from Momusu's Rainbow 7, Aruiteru, and Kanashimi Twilight are fine though~

Lolz, don't overflow me with requests, though I doubt that'll happen considering I know I don't have that many readers in the first place~ =P

Lolz, Morning Musume in Prince of Tennis.

8D
So I was rereading Prince of Tennis 3 today. Cause I haven't found #4 even though I've been searching for months. X_x Neither of the stores I go to have #4...
And I noticed something...kinda interesting. xD
In chapter 21, page 4...Momoshiro's biking along, and he's singing to himself. The lines of the song in the English manga are "Morning, musume. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...You and Momo...yay, yay, yay, yay..."
Notice anything...familiar? xDDD Took me a bit to get it, actually, since I didn't notice the first time through. But...
It's the lyrics (slightly modified) to Momusu's biggest hit, LOVE Machine~! xDD The actual lyrics are...

MOONINGU musume. mo
(Wow Wow Wow Wow)
anta mo atashi mo
(Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

which translate to

Morning Musume too
(Wow Wow Wow Wow)
You and me too
(Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

or something like that.
So that made me uber-happy. Apparently this was originally published in 1999, which makes a lot of sense, considering that's when LOVE Machine was released. Then I went to check out a fan scanlation to see if Viz changed it a bit...
And it looks like Viz added the "Momo" part.
Lolz, they should have credited Momusu in the Viz version. xD

Oh, and they changed it in the anime. =( It would have been pwnage to hear Momo actually sing LOVE Machine. xD


Yeah, not making an uber post, sorry. xD It's still exam week...

The Naruto Xbox 360 game will have a Japanese voice track?

NarutoFan says...
"In a revolutionary move, it has been announced that the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Naruto: Rise of a Ninja game will, according to Microsoft, feature both the North American voice actors, and also the Japanese voices with subtitles for those who prefer to stay true to the original series. Naruto: Rise of a Ninja will let gamers experience Naruto from the series' beginning (and presumably to where the American anime series is now) and re-live Naruto's transformation from noisy ninja-academy dropout to respected ninja. "


This makes me oh-so-very-happy.
Finally I can have a game in Japanese...and actually understand what they're saying! xDDDDD
I have a lot of other Naruto games. The first two Ninja Council games, Clash of Ninja 2, Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4, Ultimate Ninja, Narutimate Hero 3, Uzumaki Chronicles...
But none of the English games offer a Japanese voice track. And none of the Japanese games have subtitles (lol, obviously) which means I can't understand most of it. Which is why I'm uber stuck on Narutimate Hero 3 RPG mode because I can't understand WHAT THE FUCK TSUNADE'S SAYING. DDDDDD:

So my point is, none of the people who translate the games and everything have kept in the Japanese voice track. Which is why I find it kinda funny (in a good way) that the first game to have a Japanese voice track is also...the first Naruto game that was made for America only. xDDDD
I wasn't sure if this game was ever going to actually be released in Japan. Considering Japan is on Shippuuden and this game is pre-timeskip...I didn't think so. But if they're recording a Japanese voice track, then maybe it will be...I mean, why else record the Japanese voice track? I'd be pretty surprised if it turned out they were just doing it for the sub fans...
So maybe they'll keep the original voice track for games in the future? I mean like actual Japanese games, not the American games. I mean, some people would consider me a sub elitist for saying this, but I'm not looking forward to the American-only games that much. =/ I'd much rather prefer translated versions of the Japanese games. Though it doesn't seem like that'll be happening in the future...they're already making a Wii game (that I hear is going to be a lot like Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX...but pre-skip. sounds like a rip-off to me. =/), and then there's this Xbox 360 game...I have a feeling they're going to stop dubbing the Ultimate Ninja series in favor of making a PS3 game. =/ They seem to prefer making next-gen games now...which sucks for people like me who don't own any next-gen consoles cause they're too expensive.
Which is why I can't WAIT to learn enough Japanese to understand the Japanese games. 8D Narutimate Accel, HERE I COME~~~!!!

My current j-pop playlist.

Ehh, I just got through two more exams and now I have a headache, so I'll just post something not too uber long or complicated...
So, so far in this blog I've pretty much been talking about Hello! Project...with a bit of Naruto thrown in once in a while. So I figure I'll post the playlist I've been listening to a lot lately; I have over 9000 songs (seriously, I'm not making that up just to be like "IT'S OVER NINE THOOOUUUUSAAAAAND~") on my iPod, and this is the playlist I use when I just wanna listen to my favorite upbeat songs without having to skip through instrumentals and lives and b-sides and other songs I just don't listen to as much.
It's kinda long (70 songs. >_>;), and I don't have a set order for it or anything- I just stick it on shuffle every time. A lot of it's Morning Musume...xD But hey, they're my favorite group (if you couldn't tell already.) and almost all of their songs are uber upbeat...
They're not in any particular order, I just hit shuffle and listed them in that order...>_>;;

As I went through this, I noticed that I need to update this a bit. >> I actually have a lot of artists I like that don't have any songs in this (Hamasaki Ayumi, Do As Infinity, Crystal Kay, BoA, v-u-den...)...plus there's some new-ish releases I want to put in there. >> And maybe there's too much Momusu...xDD;;

Anyway, there's a few other ideas I have for posts, but I think I'll save them for an end-of-exams post at the end of this week. xD

Favorite Morning Musume members~

Lol, it's the morning of my first exam, and I have to leave at 11:30...so I'm kinda doing some random stuff, and I stumbled across this...and I just had to do it. xD So here's my current ranking of the Momusu members:

1. Tanaka Reina
2. Niigaki Risa
3. Kusumi Koharu
4. Michishige Sayumi
5. Takahashi Ai
6. Mitsui Aika
7. Kamei Eri

It was pretty tough deciding between Reina and Risa, but I ended up putting Reina on top. I'm not exactly sure why, but...xD
Koharu's next, cause her solo songs are uber-catch and amazing. XD
Next is Sayumi. She's not the best singer in the group (well, at least she's better now than she was when she first joined...I listened to a song from her and two others from an old Best Shot DVD, and oh my god, she was really bad. @_@), but she's really cute, and I like that. ^^
Ai's the current leader, but to be honest, I'm not too much of a fan of her. She's only ahead of...
...Aika, who I still know almost nothing about (it'll take me a bit to get used to her, just like what happened with Koharu- I hated Koharu at first)...
...and Eri, who I really don't like. At all. Sorry~


Lol, too lazy to make another uber-post right now. Not to mention for once I can't really think of anything to talk about...

Hmm...a bit more Mikitty stuff + Kira*Pika + some Naruto stuff...

So I realized yesterday after making that last blog post that I had said in the one before that that the next one wouldn't be about H!P.
Oops.
But c'mon, it was kinda important...and I was basically doing a rushed post because I didn't have that much time before I had to leave. I mean, imagine my surprise when I'm at school like a half-hour early, pulling out my computer like usual, checking International Wota on a random whim, and then- BOOM "[News] Fujimoto Miki Leaves Morning Musume". I think I might have freaked out more than I did when I found out Nono was pregnant...
And then there were two girls that thought I was freaking out about my appearance (cause it was graduation day, and it's like a big formal event even if you're not the one graduating), and they tried to pull me into the bathroom...and I'm just like "no. fuck off. Miki just left Momusu. T__T" Gotta learn how to keep calm on the outside and just freak out inwardly.

And then yesterday afternoon, International Wota linked my post in "[Blogs] Still More Mikitty Reactions", which made me UBER HAPPY. <333 Especially because I thought the only person reading this was lotus from NF. xD

So anyway...Risa's going to be sub-leader, as I thought. Works for me. <3 And Takitty as leader of course. Hopefully she won't lose the position after less than a month like Miki did...^^;;;
I might make a Kanashimi Twilight Miki tribute avi/sig set for my NF account like I did for Yossi...maybe after exams. Though I was planning on keeping the Yossi set until their next PV...

I'm just glad that Miki has GAM, and a solo career too. She'll still be singing~ <33


On another note, the members of Kira*Pika (well, Kira☆Pika, but Kira*Pika's so much easier to type. xD) have been confirmed! It's not Kusumi Koharu and Mitsui Aika like I previously thought, but Koharu and Hagiwara Mai (from C-ute)!
Source (Some Boys! Blog)
Hagiwara Mai? Er...who? I really don't know anything about C-ute. I mean, I can name almost every single other member of the other groups in H!P (I can't do most of Berryz, either...), but I don't know ANYTHING about C-ute. I mean, sorry to say, but the first time I heard a song of theirs was a few days ago when I was in the NF Blender and someone (NudeShroom maybe?) posted a "loli music video", and when I clicked it it was Ooki na Ai de Motenashite...(which, by the way, was uber-catchy.) So naturally, this announcement surprised me and confused me, cause I had no idea who this "Hagiwara Mai" was. xD;;;
So I did what any other clueless person would do. I looked her up on ThePPN Wiki. First thing that pops out at me. Holy shit, she's only 11. O_O And she was SIX when she first joined H!P as one of the Hello! Project Kids back in 2002...
O_____________________O
Six...wow. I wouldn't have been able to do anything like that when I was six. O_o
I mean, they didn't actually do anything notable until 2004, and that was just the H!P All Stars with all 46 members of H!P...but still, that's really young.
Actually, no, she was one of the four H!P Kids that were in the Minimoni movie back in 2003...I remember that. That was an uber-amazing movie. xD
So now I know a bit more about Mai...she's young and cute. xD
I'm still kinda surprised about Koharu. She has Morning Musume, her solo career, that anime she's in, Momusu Tanjou 10nen...and now Kira*Pika, too. I mean, that's a lot of stuff to handle...well, ganbatte, Koharu-san~ xD
I can't wait to hear more about this new group~


...
Oh shit, we have a tornado warning right now. And I hate to admit it, but I'm like uber scared and on-edge right now cause there's a ton of thunder and lightning. T______T My mom's telling me to shut down my desktop computer in case there's a power surge, but I'm seeding stuff, and Jpopsuki's down, and so if I want the stuff I'm seeding to count, I have to leave Azureus open until Jpopsuki goes back up again...it's been down all day, which seriously pisses me off. I can only hope it's back up by tonight so I can get this week's CDTV...last time, it was down for like a week and I got uber pissed cause I didn't get the CDTV episode until like Thursday. >< And this week should be that special section where they show all the upcoming releases for this month, and I need to see if Aqua Timez's ALONES is being released this month~ I doubt it, but...raaaawrrrr, that single needs to come out soon, I need to hear the full version~



So since I haven't made a non-H!P post in a while, I might as well add some Naruto stuff in here. :D
Lolz, I can't believe the Temari fanservice in Shippuuden 16. When I first heard about it (I didn't watch the raw until yesterday (yes, I watched the raw even though the sub was out- it's tradition) cause I forgot on Thursday, and so I kept seeing pictures throughout NF) I thought they actually put it in canon. XDDDD Which would make NOOOOO SENSE AT ALL...I was speculating about where they put it in and everything...and then it turned out to be the little ending clip that always has nothing to do with canon plot at all. :D I guess Naruto was just giving Temari and Kankurou a little tour of the hot springs?
Lol, I screenshotted it, but the pics are kinda big and I don't know how to make thumbnails or anything using HTML. D: So, links instead...? Pic 1 and Pic 2.
Shikamaru should have been their tour guide instead. D: Not only would it be ShikaTema (<333333333333) but Shikamaru hot springs fanservice...:love

As for the rest of the episode, I didn't understand a lot of it. xDD As the series goes on, I'm understanding less and less with each episode...which makes no sense cause I'm learning more and more Japanese. xDDD; Or maybe it's just that I don't remember most of the stuff from this arc...
Well, either way...I need to actually start watching the sub again. xDD;


And last but not least...
This week's Naruto chapter.
The reason this was last...

ROOOAAARRR UBER NARUTO MANGA SPOILERS FROM HERE ON

Okk, now you shouldn't be reading this unless you read the Naruto manga. =3

This week started off with a colored two-page spread cover.
And may I say....EWWWWWWWW~
DDDDDDDD: Kishimoto's choice of colors for Team Hebi...DD:
Obviously Sasuke's same as normal. Suigetsu's colors actually look pretty good. Not what we previously thought, but they're still good. Juugo...well, I think most people didn't expect that his hair was orange...but heyy, it's not uber-bad.
It's Karin that bugs the crap out of me.
BRIGHT. RED. HAIR.
ewwwww.
AND HER EYES ARE THE SAME COLOR! DD:
Katie (my stepsister) says that the main reason it looks really bad is because it clashes with her purple jacket. I dunno, I don't know about what colors work and what colors don't, all I know is that it looks pretty damn bad. D: Hopefully they'll touch it up a bit in the anime so it doesn't look as bad...
I still say we should go with the black hair, tan jacket thing...who colored that? Amaretti? I guess it's what I'm used to since I saw it first...xD;; I mean, I know I'm not using the red and purple colors in my fanfiction. >< I'm sticking with the black and tan...

BUT ANYWAY.
Lolz, I love Tobi. xDD Tobi vs. Sasuke would be fun. Sasuke would pwn, of course. Then again, we haven't seen anything Tobi can do yet...all we know is that he's a good boy. =3
And then the last page of the chapter.
Kabuto.
I fucking FREAKED OUT. Like, seriously fell out of my chair and everything. I mean...it's fucking SCARY! DDDDx
So...so...Orochimaru's alive? In Kabuto? I'm a bit lost here...and still creeped out. I think I'll just kinda...wait until next week...o_o;; See what happens...I really don't want to think too much about this at the moment...(not to mention exam week is next week so I really shouldn't anyway.)


I still have some ideas about stuff to post, but this post is long enough already...not to mention I've already spent two hours writing this. xDD;; Maybe later....
If I don't get one in tomorrow, I probably won't get an entry in until Thursday afternoon. Exams suck. D:

Mikitty resigning from Morning Musume?! T_______T

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...
Fujimoto Miki, the current leader of Morning Musume (who became leader less than a month ago), is resigning from Momusu due to the boyfriend scandal!
Offical Announcement on the Hello!Project site (in Japanese, of course.)
I...wow. Just...wow. I mean, she's one of the lead singers...well, they don't really say that, but it's kinda obvious, especially in a song like Kanashimi Twilight.
I can't believe it...this is JUST like what happened with Yaguchi Mari back in April 2005! Goes out with a boyfriend, Friday takes pictures and publishes them in the magazine, she resigns from the leader position...
I just can't believe this. I still don't agree with Morning Musume's position on boyfriends...I mean, seriously. She's in her 20's. Whyyy can't she have a boyfriend? Makes me wonder if that policy is in position for the rest of H!P. I mean, Nakazawa Yuko's in her 30's, isn't she? xD;

Now, the good thing is that she's not gone forever. She's leaving Morning Musume (damn! what'll happen to their next single?), but she still wants to continue her solo career. No mention of GAM, from what I've heard...I haven't looked at the article yet. Not enough time...I have to head over to graduation in like 10 minutes. xD;;

So, who's gonna be the new sub-leader? Takitty's going to be leader, considering she was sub-leader under Mikitty. Maybe Risa? She's the only other 5th-gen left...and I don't think a 6th-gen will be the sub-leader when Risa's still in the group...and definitely not the 7th-gen Koharu or the 8th-gen Aika...

I'm gonna keep thinking about this during graduation and everything (lol, I'm not the one graduating, don't worry), and I'll post again with some more thoughts on this. Hopefully it'll be a bit more than just random ramblings...
I'm also thinking about what's gonna happen with the single coming out soon. When this happened to Mari, they still released Osaka Koi no Uta...but that came out like a week or two after she resigned. There's still over a month before this single...will they rerecord like what happened with Gyaruru when Nono left? (though that's TNX, so I probably shouldn't compare with this) I don't know if it's already recorded in the first place, though, so...
I'm thinking she's not going to be in this next single, because there's still a while before it's going to be released...
Rawr, I need to go~ I'll make another post later today or tomorrow.
