Two new shows featuring H!P

As of yesterday, the Hello! Project television show named Bijo Gaku is no more. It is being replaced with a show called HelloPro! Time (the 17th show listed).

Fans of Bijo Gaku, don't worry. It will literally be the exact same show as Bijo Gaku, just with a new name. The main difference (besides the name) is the new time slot. It now comes on every Saturday at 9:30 AM Japan time (that's Friday 8:30 PM for United States East Coast).

Now for something that is actually new.

It isn't purely a H!P show like HelloPro! Time is, but it will prominently feature C-ute. The show is called International After School and will air on NHK World - a TV station aimed at foreigners like you and me.

According to the official site, C-ute will be known as "Team After School" - whatever that means.

Thanks to AlwaysAi @ H!O for the setlist.

Overall, I don't really like the setlist. I know they had to sing the songs some time, but I didn't like the Fantasy! 11 album and this setlist is full of those songs. Also, more Love Machine, Renai Revolution, and Dekkai? Do not want.

Though there are a couple of performances I am looking forward to. I love the Manpower, 9th Gen Suki na Senpai should be great, and Rainbow Pink with Erina should be.. interesting.

S/mileage - Koi ni Booing Buu! radio rip

A full radio preview of Koi ni Booing Buu!

I prefer S/mileage's older songs to their newer stuff, but this song isn't bad. Though I like watching the PV more than I like just listening to it.

If you like this song, you should totally buy it and support S/mileage, buu~

And now for the making of DVD.

S/mileage - Koi ni Booing Buu! PV preview

A 30 second commercial aired on TV showing off some of S/mileage's new single PV.



I love playful S/mileage. Seeing a pig themed PV with them dressed up as pigs and playing around and just having a good time is entertaining to watch.

If you like this song, you can always buy it, buu~

Important annoucement (2011 April Fools Post)

I am officially an AKB48 fan!

I had been thinking about this for a while, to be honest. I've been somewhat of a vocal hater of theirs... but things changed.

The main reason is one of my best friends has been pushing this on me for a while. The songs I could manage, but when he started spamming me with hot AKB48 pictures, well, I gave in. Their boobs were just too big! I couldn't help it!

So here I am, a new AKB48 fan.

Actually it's not that bad. Really. After all they did manage to raise 5 million dollars for charity a couple of weeks ago.

And I'm not the only one who is finally seeing the light.

My favorite 9th Generation Member Ikuta Erina accidentally auditioned for Morning Musume (she obviously suffers from the same memory problems as I do). She is now joining AKB48 and I'm going with her. Hopefully Raffo will join me in my shirtless audition dance to convince Akimoto-sama that he is lacking two more members.

It will probably will look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-YfPP7MNvo

Finally, I leave you with a subbed performance of the greatest song in the universe, Beginner, done with the help of Kevin.



Because of all of this, I no longer need all of my H!P stuff so you all can have it as long as you pay for shipping (it will cost approximately all of the money you have) and become my slave.

P.S. you will notice many changes here at my blog. It is now called Tomochin Deshou?! in celebration of my favorite AKB48 member. ^___^

AKB saikou!

4/2/2011 edit: This post was an April Fools Day joke! Just in case you missed my blog makeover for a day, here are pictures (click for fullsize):
