Perfume brings together the most powerful idol agencies and groups together on one show and the chaos level is high as the groups get out of control. Whatever your idol unit is, this is a must watch show for all idol fans.
For Musume fans, from the looks of things the future faces of the group are going to be Ayumi, Riho, and KY

Moving into November the super unit will hold a live event on the 23rd at Yomiuri Land Open Theater EAST ,called “Hello! Project☆Festival 2011“.

For some time now our media has called the move of more and more idol groups and companies making a mark on the industry “The age of idol wars” ,many fans and media outlets have wondered if or when H!P would go all in and join this fight ,it looks from this campaign ,that the decision has been made at last at least for one single ,to go all in and join the battle full force with an open checkbook.

Michishige Sayumi Gets Her Own Show

S/mileage Tachiagaaru PV

S/mileage Tachiagaaru PV

The first PV is out for new S/mileage, which feels just like their recently aired concert, three members of S/mileage and some back dancers.

Not surprising since H!P decided to give S/mileage their own Eggs ,instead of members .However that will change in October ,so we will see if the line distribution changes as well.

Outside of the fact the PV and line distribution looks more like S/mileage featuring backup dancers it`s a really good song and one that has that signature S/mileage sound.

From the little they got to sing in the concert the submembers bring their own style and charm points to the group .With any luck after the sub is removed from their name ,we will get the real new S/mileage and not H!P`s version of Dorothy Little Happy.

Fans expecting to see a powered up S/mileage will not get it with this song .The trigger is pulled but Tsunku has not turned them loose just yet.

[This could be the last post until the end of the Typhoon have to see what it brings]

Morning Musume 10th Gen Training Camp

 Morning Musume 10th Gen Training Camp

Trying to out run a coming Typhoon and get a few posts on site. Still not feeling all that well yet, however show must go on as they say.

This is a subbed version of the 10th gen, training camp .A great bunch of subbers have taken on the duty of subbing HPT. Give them a word of thanks on You Tube.

In the episode you get to see, just how being an idol is not a game. I know that Tsunku is obsessed with finding a replacement for Aichan, not sure, he is looking in the right place, try 9th gen a little girl from Hiroshima.

Tsunku did hint at maybe taking all 10 and making Morning Musume 18 members. Sayu would love that, more playtime dates for Sayu, lol.

I am not sure we will see all 10, but 4 could be possible, but with H!P one thing we know is we don`t really know until we know.

H!P :HPT And KY Erina Oha Special

H!P :HPT And KY Erina Oha Special

On HPT, we get to say goodbye to Saki one more time , S/mileage 2nd Gen ,9th Gen madness and a peak at the 10th gen auditions for Morning Musume.

With S/mileage having graduations and auditions they will never be the same again. For new idol fans who have not walked with H!P from the day the agency was created , change is something you have to be prepared for at all times with H!P.


S/mileage 2nd Gen members by the way each video look like they have been in the group for years then a few days . I fully expect they all will be promoted after the fall tour ,just as the 10,000 smiles launched the group. 2nd Gen after the makeup girls had their hands on them , really show just how cute they are . You can say what you want about Tsunku songs at times , but the man has an eye for idol cuteness. Just look at how beautiful everyone has grown up to be that has been employed by H!P.

KY madness is running wild this week as she and her 9th Gen sisters tear up Hawaii in their first trip to the island.


From the looks of things 10th Gen not counting any hidden Eggs are going to be very young .Musume is in full reload time ,at this rate they soon will be the same age as S/mileage

On Oha it was full speed ahead for the KY Idol as she was the solo Oha girl this episode. If H!P wants to bring back the anime idol ,our loveable KY would be a great choice.

Funny thing about Erina as an Oha girl she is more Pon then KY . Very talented idol she is.

H!P Mobekimasu

H!P Mobekimasu

On November 16 under the name, Mobekimasu a super unit created from the combined units of Morning Musume + 10th generation members, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, Mano Erina, “new” S/mileage, members of Hello! Pro Egg, are going to be releasing a single called “Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku”.

The single will come in seven  editions and each unit  will have their own coupling track on an individual single. As an added bonus the single will come with handshake tickets for an H!P fan event.

So as H!P becomes H!P48 for at least one single [ multiple units combined for a single , units with their own coupling tracks ,trainees having an active role and multiple CD versions ,wota handshake tickets] ,I would caution fans of H!P thinking that this will be some kind of epic sales result by counting the average sales of each unit together .

H!P units for the most part share wotas with a few single unit hardcore dedicated fans . A good measuring stick is the old H!P All Stars single which sold 60,000+ copies. Anything less then that would be a disappointment for this release .

While I may find it funny that this has so many comparisons to another company that it`s like being H!P48 ,I think a single of this type just maybe what the agency needs to generate new interest.

H!P: LinLin And JunJun Return ,Riho Gets Photobook

H!P: LinLin And JunJun Return ,Riho Gets Photobook

The lovable girls that fans kindly labeled Panda Musume have returned to Japan. Little is known about their mission here , however LinLin was at the recent Morning Musume concert to as she calls it “going home to see the family” .Rumors are also flying around the wota circles that Eri and family was also at the same concert.

Now everything happens for a reason in music , the question here is what is the secondary reason for the return visit ? Is work being lined up , now that LinLin has become a star on Chinese variety TV again?

Let the rumor mill run wild as we wait for any developments .

A LinLin fan has taken the blog photos and made a cool video presentation of her return. No shots of JunJun yet ,just a message that she is here also.



EDIT- Fresh shot of JunJun Looking Relaxed

Speaking of developing, the future ace of Morning Musume Sayashi Riho is going to be showing off her charm in her first photobook and DVD.

Both will be released in August and the first pressing of the DVD will include lottery tickets for a special Okinawa gift package.

S/mileage Visits Their Gen 2 Audition

S/mileage Visits Their Gen 2 Audition

S/mileage took the time to do a drop in visit of their generation 2 auditions .An excited S/mileage greeted the collection of generation 2 hopefuls for a short conversation.

The first thing that I noticed was that H!P has a marketing gem sitting in that room ,if they pass the audition. S/mileage could become the first H!P unit to have twins as members .That's right S/mileage fans we have twins wanting to enter S/mileage ,and if there is any chance of them passing you have to take them ,just for the marketing and media fallout. Besides, they are already picking up fans .

S/mileage did treat the young idol hopefuls to one last memory a reverse handshake were the idols run the line and not the fans.
