^ I don't listen to much Momosu but when i do it's all 4th - 6th so she's the last one i know/like. A sad day. :( She's also the longest serving member.

Tokyo Idol Festival on August 2 & 3

I don't expect Momoclo to participate :)) but what about other stardust groups like Ebichu, Syachi or Takoniji. All of them didn't participate last year.

Haha, you seem very excited. I'm not really a Eurovision fan but it's quite fun. England has a history or entering unknown/old, not famous anymore musicians singing quite rubbish songs. This year is apparently a singer called Molly, who i've never heard of, singing a song called 'Children of the Universe'. It's fairly representative of the kind of easy listening crap which we usually put forward so i don't think it will do that well. I'll post it just for you Invader but for the record i don't like it. :p


That Ukraine video is really awesome. :D But the BEST thing to ever happen eurovision, perhaps even the world, is THIS 1979 entry from Germany. Although this is a different recording.


I don't want to count the amount of times i've danced this while drunk, singing included. :p

^ Thank your for the Germany video I've never heard it before. We do have a thing for color coding, don't we? Momoka had a nice moustache in this one =)) But I don't like the bald evil scientist who replaced Akarin.

LMAO! =))
Momoka's moustache. :p

Invader said:

I've just remembered last year Russia presented Momoclo's 90th anniversary reunion (Akarin included)

LMAO! =))

^ That's scary, I hope they're ok. It's always dangerous when a lot of people attend events like this. They need to improve security, poor girls must have been terrified.

Although I don't understand a suspect's motive, AKB fans invest much money for their general election.
It will induce jealousy and a grudge.

^ There was a piece in the paper about this this morning. I was flicking through and had to double take. I thought... i'm pretty sure i just saw some idols in the paper? :p

As for the motive, police have said that the suspect was not particularly a fan of the group but said that he "just wanted to commit a random murder" I guess he wanted it to be high profile.

3 things are going through my mind today (okay, a few more ...).

First: I am not very much interested in AKB48 but I had nothing to do and watched the election. Simultaneously I read the comments in a wellknown forum (I won't mention). It was a AKB-Thread and there were AKB-fans.

I was very touched by Kawaei Rina. She got rank 16 and was there to give a speech. (Anna Iriyama were live on the phone and got rank 20.)
Everyone was touched. But noone in that forum - it seemed. The only thing they talked about was, that she is rank 16 and who else is ranking and so on. I was truly shocked by this.
If I am not mistaken it was the first time after the incident she was at an event?
But none of the (western) fans seemed to care.
Very strange.

(I am talking about the lack of empathy or the sense for the importance of this moment. The f* rank is not the important thing, important is that this girl managed to get back on the stage and began to shine again!)

On a lighter note. After many years I really like the new Berryz Kobo single. I loved them a long time ago but the last years I totally lost interest. But this single is very nice. And the second A-side has interesting lyrics. This could be somethng like an anthem for idols in a few years or so.





ps: Sorry fpr my bad English, I hope it was understandable. ;)

;) Two Berryz-Songs. ;)
I prefer Ebichu as well.

AKB: Of course, I understand what you mean. But I am not interested in AKB at all (okay, I like a few members in TV shows and such ...). But from a "humanitarian" standpoint.
I mean, how can you not talk about this, even if you don't like Kawaei or so:

Happier note: I'm glad Mayu won, she was the first one in AKB I recognized and always wondered how come she wasn't everyone's favourite.

I am a little "sad" for Rino because I liked her since her appearance at the Momoclo Yokohama 2 Days "All Stars" concert ... or whatever the title was ... ;)
