Sigh… And I’m in Love All Over Again

I’m pretty sure I’ve never shared my obsession with Versailles with you all before.  Here’s a good time!

Versailles recently released their major-label debut single, “ASCENDEAD MASTER.”  Most people agree that when indie bands go major it’s for the worse; however, Versailles didn’t change!!  The PV, I will admit, is a little bright for my Versailles-liking, but besides that, I noticed no major difference between this and their indie singles.

Oh, besides that Kamijo got about 8129301 times hotter deciding to go manly.  Good choice, Kamijo, good choice.

Tis a Very Happy Summer Wedding

When Tsunku first announced the Hello! Project-wide wedding-themed cover album, I thought, “Wow, another weird, crazy, pointless Tsunku decision,” and wasn’t looking forward to it at all.  But the full tracklist was just released.  And holy poo.  Is it ever worth looking forward too.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE SINCE W DISBANDED.

Please read.

Ahem: Tsunku plans to revive Minimoni.

Minimoni, my favorite H!P group to have ever existed.

Minimoni, the legendary group filled with cutesyness to the brim.

Minimoni, who bisbanded once their second leader, Mika, my favorite H!P girl to date, left.

Minimoni, who has lived on in the hearts of fans.

Minimoni, WHO’S NOW COMING BACK.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAY.

Fukuda Kanon is the first official member (which is good because I thought it was so lame that she didn’t make it into the new H!P Egg unit).  That’s… whatever.  It seems like this will be an Egg unit, but hey.  I don’t care.  It’s Minimoni.  And I’m so thrilled I can barely contain myself right now.

MyuSutay Debyuu!

I’ve got to be honest, I wasn’t really fond of the PV for Mano Erina’s new single, Hajimete no Kenken.  But she just performed it live for the first time on television, and I must say, I’m in love.

‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’ Hits Number 1

Morning Musume’s 39th single, ‘Shouganai Yume Oibito,’ has stolen the number one on the weekly Oricon charts.  Unlike most people who see this as “Wow, it’s been a whole two years since they got a number 1!  It’s about time!” I’m seeing this all as: “I didn’t think it could happen, but the Pandas garnered the number one spot.”  Of course, this is also the first number one for Takahashi as leader and a well-deserved reward for the longest lineup in Morning Musume’s history.

Oh, hei, look Tsunku: a decent PV does help sales.  Ha.  Go figure.  Wish we could have figured that out a couple years ago.  Durn.

PS – Anyone wanna fly me out to LA?  I want to see them so bad it isn’t even funny (I still will this summer, but I want to see their US debut more than just a regular concert).
