Hello! Project Egg DVD Magazine Vol. 3

This is a somewhat old video, but I have the DVD on my hard drive and I've never made an encode of it so why not.

Because this is old, you get to see former Eggs like Fukumura Mizuki, Kikkawa Yuu, the UFZS members, and all of the lost Eggs before they graduated.

Just in case you missed my other post about graduated and missing Eggs, only 9 of these 22 are still Eggs (though a couple of them broke off to join Up-Front Girls and UFZS).

Here are pictures of all of the Eggs present in this DVD Magazine and their current status with the company:

Graduated; member of Up-Front Girls

Graduated; making her soloist debut with H!P on 5/11

An Alo-Hello will almost definitely follow. Plus, a photobook or two.

Keitai Kanojo review + plot analysis (spoilers!)

It's been a long time since I reviewed anything, eh?

I finally got a chance to watch Keitai Kanojo last night so here is my review. I wanted to make this post separate from my other post with the download link because this review will contain massive spoilers. I will discuss major plot points and the ending so read at your own risk!

When Keitai Kanojo ("Cellphone Girl") was announced November of last year, I was excited to say the least. My favorite Idol (Suzuki Airi), in my favorite movie genre (horror)? Sounds like a recipe for awesomeness. But, the straight-to-DVD stipulation had me a little worried. Would the movie be as cheaply made as your normal Hello! Project PV? Would the acting be corny? And more importantly, would the story be a rehashed shell that we've seen countless times?
