Here in Oklahoma, everyone is talking about football (American football, not the other football), even though football season isn't for another couple of weeks. A few nights ago, while listening to Berryz songs and watching a show about college sports, I got an interesting thought: Which H!P members would be in my starting football lineup? After much thinking, here's my decision. I've done the honor of linking some of the terms for those of you who don't understand football lingo.

 

My Ouarterback would be Sayu. I think that she would be to step back and pass the ball quickly. She would move as fast as a bunny (Sorry couldn't resist) Plus it would be nice to have a cute QB

 

Maimi would be my running back. She is an incredible sprinter (At the last sports festival, she left a gap between her and the person behind her. There's a video out there somewhere)

 

 

Maimai and Chisa would be great Wide receivers. They're small, so they be able to slip through the defense and far enough downfield to catch the ball and get a first down.

Maasa will be a good Center. With her strong arms, she'll be able to handle the defenders while QB Sayu does her thing.

Junjun and Yuri would be good Offensive tackles. They're are both tall and seem to be pretty strong so they'll be able to hold anyone back.

That's all that I can think of. It's not a full offensive line but I think it will do the job. Who would you pick as a starting lineup. This could be in any sport and it doesn't have to be based on athletic ability (But that would be nice). I'd love to hear your picks.

Recently I have been listening to Berryz 1st album "1st Cho Berryz" I like most of the songs on there but none of them stand out to me like track 6, "Semi" (which means "cicada") I have been addicted to this song lately and I have found it I has a PV

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v18129458HNxKZd

I have no idea where this PV came from but judging from the outfits, it's probably from the infamous Switch On tour.

I can't tell you which part is my favorite but I guess it's probably the chorus. I listened to it so much, I know almost all of it by heart. Also, I can't stop humming/whistling/singing it, which kind of annoys me lol. I think I should probably review the girls' voice.

Everyone's high notes were pretty squeaky, but oddly enough that was appropriate for this song. Their regular singing voices were good too but IMO they were a little bit shaky. But this is still my favorite non single song on this album.

There's been a good bit of events lately. But instead of making 4 or 5 posts about it, I'll just mix it up.

1. V-U-Den ends - Well they had a good run. I'm sad to see them go. I hope Miyoshi and Yui's careers don't fade off. I would love to see them as solo artists (Or maybe they'll make a new group with a bunch of eggs.) I already know that Rika won't be affected because she has Gatas to fall back on.

2. Takahashi Ai and Niigaki Risa to play Pink Lady in TV drama - Sounds interesting. I've never heard a Pink Lady song but I have read about them before. They are legends in the J-music industry from what I've heard. The drama isn't completely about Pink Lady though. It's about their songwriter Aku Yuu, who died last year around this time. I think Gaki and Aichan's wigs look pretty funny though :D.

3. Berryz Koubou's Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance - Nice PV. Awesome monkey suits. Didn't think they would actually do something like that. The bananas remind me of loveable Jun (Maybe she was near the set :D) I invented a new game when I watch new Berryz PVs. It called "Captain Sightings". Just look for Captain during every group shot in the video. Trust me, it's challenging. It's kind of like finding Waldo in a way. Anyway, I'm getting that song.

4. Kusumi Koharu's Papancake - To tell the truth...I couldn't watch this PV. I know that Koha-fans are sad but I just couldn't make it. Maybe it was the weird shade of yellow in the back or the odd looking pancakes, but I had a weird feeling in my stomach watching this PV.

5. Mano Erina's Manopiano - Haven't gotten around to listening to the song but I bet it's good if she's actually playing the piano. Good luck in your career, Mano!

6. Sudou "Maa" Maasa's 16th birthday - Happy birthday Maa! You may not be my favorite Berryz member but I still like you. Plus your cheeks are awesome. Sadly, I don't have a cake but take these words as food for thought XD. Keep being cool and sexy Maa. Continue singing and making fans happy. Also do what makes you happy.

7. That Berryz/C-ute concert DVD - I'm definitely getting that DVD. I made up my mind around when they first announced the tour. I hope it has plenty of backstage performances.

 

Ok in unrelated news, I saw a video just about a hour ago. It was Berryz/C-ute on Gintama (Look it up on wiki if you've never heard over it.) I definitely gotta get that manga later (Yes I know I won't see Ume in the manga). Also, I think that everyone in H!P should get more sleep. I always feel bad for the girls when they have rings around their eyes, Maybe they should have a week or so off from work to catch up on R&R. The Kids should get at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep. I think I remember Ume saying that she gets about 3 hours of sleep. That's just pitiful, don't you think?. Anyway, I'm done rambling.

 

I was looking at the archives over at True Life Seek, I saw a rankings post from a few months ago when Hello! Blog asked everyone posted their favorite and least favorite members of the three main groups (That was before I had my own blog but still read a lot of them.) I decided to do one too (even at the risk of being a few months late.) Let's start with Morning Musume.

 

1. Junjun - The newest one in MM but my favorite member. She never ceases to amaze me. Everytime I watch Haromoni@, she always does something to stick out. Even in the episodes where she didn't show up that much, she still gained my attention. And plus, for her first few months of being in MM, she looked like a 13 yr old and that alone makes me smile.

2. Tanaka Reina - She's all kinds of awesome. She gets tons of singing lines. She's as skinny as a stick but she doesn't seem to notice. Also, she has a pose for every occaison.

3. Linlin - Jun is MM's Mario. Lin is MM's Luigi. Wherever you see one, you see the other. (I actually considered saying Lin was like Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog but Tails is kinda annoying) When Gaki retires, Lin will be the new reaction queen, I bet.

4. Kamei Eri - I used to think that she was mean because she kinda looked mean but she proved me wrong. She looks like the nicest person ever.

5. Michishige Sayumi - Sayu is a cyborg created by UFA to outcute everyone in Japan. Well...not really. But she is too cute to be human.

6. Takahashi Ai - I can't say anything bad about Aichan except lately she can't stop touching her face in PVs. Also, we need more Fukui-ben.

7. Niigaki Risa - Gaki-san's face hasn't changed since she joined H!P. I'm serious. She looks just like she did in '01. Really.

8. Kusumi Koharu - I don't that anime she voices (Except that episode where C-ute popped up.) Her PBs are ok. I just wish she wouldn't hog so much attention in PVs, though.

9. Mitsui Aika - She made Jun cry, boo. But she's cute and has a good memory, yay.

 

Now for Berryz Koubou

 

1. Tsugunaga Momoko - Momo's cute. Momo gains attention. Momo's has a high voice.

2. Shimizu Saki - Captain's cool. Captain's sorta cute at times. Captain's plain looking. Captain get's almost no lines but is sorta loveable. Her semi-deep voice is refreshing.

3. Kumai Yurina - Yuri's tall. Yuri knows how to use the camera to her advantage. I like her voice too.

4. Tokunaga Chinami - She only recently became my #4. She's energetic. Also her English is pretty good (Look that video up to see what I mean.)

5. Natsuyaki Miyabi - She has a nice voice too. She's also very pretty (I, unlike others, think that her long chin makes her prettier.). My #2 in Buono.

6. Sudo Maasa - I have only one thing to say: Her cheeks are awesome (especially when she smiles)

7. Sugaya Risako - My former #3. I don't hate her like Yoshimi from Yossha yossha yossha does. But then again I don't have a crush on her either. She's pretty and cute. But I will never admit to buying her PBs (I might be arrested...)

Now for C-ute

 

1. Umeda Erika - She's amazingly cute. She ultra-pretty. She's has a cute smile. She's also the person I want to see in a PB most. Not only my favorite in C-ute but H!P overall (even if she barely gets lines not counting that solo song) Everytime someone says that she looks like a ugly duckling, it makes me love her more.

2. Yajima Maimi - I used to dislike Maimi...a lot. I have no idea why but I hated her for some reason. But I like her now. I just noticed, my top 2 are former ZYX members (I love/miss that group so much.Why didn't you release more singles?!?) She looks hot in a bikini (But then again, don't most idols?)

3. Nakajima Saki - It's true. Nakki gets prettier every year. She's changed a lot from '06 hasn't she. After Ume, I want her in a PB next. When she was in Athena, she won me over in Shouri no Big Wave's PV.

4. Okai Chisato - Chisa's a boy. Well, she's actually the most boyish looking girl I've ever seen. Her voice is pretty nice too. She's one of C-ute's reaction queens. Also, her sister's my favorite Egg.

5. Arihara Kanna - Kanna's awesome. She always finds time to grope her fellow C-ute members and that's what makes me love her. Plus she has a nice voice too. Also, she's a only child like me and I respect her for that.

6. Hagiwara Mai - Maimai's cute, period. I bet she'll be a serial killer when she gets older. But she'll be the most loveable serial killer ever. Plus she's tall for her age. That's kinda cool.

7. Suzuki Airi - Just because she's at the bottom doesn't mean I don't like her. Her singing voice is epic. Her speaking voice is kinda awkward IMO. But I would gladly buy her PBs. I already have one of them.
