Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! Or whatever holiday you celebrate!!!

Anyway, I'm making a much needed post today.....Morning Musume's Alo Hello 3 DVD just came out!!!!! *is crazy excited*
I just watched the preview clip and holy.....I MUST HAVE THAT!!! Christmas money is gonna go bye bye soon!! LOL About the preview, my favorite part was the volleyball. I gotta say it, Momusu in bikinis hugging each other and stuff, is freakin hot. *fans self* I also wanna see the stuff they did in those small groups. Reina making Lin Lin smell something in a container+Lin Lin's reaction=LMFAO Jeez, now I wanna watch Alo Hello 2 again. Luckily, I have it on DVD and I'm home alone....but it'll have to wait until after the H!P summer concert, which was also a Christmas present. (I'll make a present post soon~~)
Oh and here's a Alo Hello 3 picture!!!

Must comment on them so from left to right:
Lin Lin: Damn, where has she been hiding that figure?! 
Mittsi: By now, everyone should know I'm not a huge fan but I gotta admit, she rocks bikinis quite well. The little skirty thing is kawaii! Her cornrows are also to my liking. Haha
Sayumin: Ah, my PB queen!!! No doubt she's looking fine!! Cute hair too~!
Reinanananana: I was having a convo with Nee-chan recently and we came across the fact that Reina has quite nice....boobs. LOL *blushes* but really, they are like bam!!! Can someone tell me when those got here?!?!?! She's stick thin but she has the goods. Now how does that work?! I wanna know the secret!!! haha
Ai-chan: This woman look good in anything, especially bikinis~ Now I don't see why they put her in a skirt thing. No upper AiThighs. *pouts* She certainly looks more relaxed, thank God. The poor girl is overworked, I tell you.
Koha: Ok, don't wanna be too mean but Koha's pose reminds me of a bodybuilder dude. LOL Gorgeous legs though.
Gaki: Now THAT is what I like to see!!! Her "chest area" is looking bigger lately too. Yum, nice and soft Gaki....*drools all over keyboard* Glad there ain't no stupid skirt to cover her~~
Kame: I think blue is a good color on her. Know what? That bikini looks like the same one Reina wore in Very Reina, only in blue. At least the pattern looks like it. Damn skirt, covering the thunder thighs too!!! *growls at UFA*
Jun Jun: OMFGwoifjfsoifjhnourgga......*dies* Not to put down my other girls, but holy shit!! I think Jun officially has the hugest chest in Momusu. Not even gonna lie. Fat my ass, JUN IS NOT FAT!!! Look at her, she's perfect. But SKIRT!!! Why must they cover up the sexiness?!?!?

Ok, just to put this out there, I have no problem with swimsuits with skirts. Quite the opposite, I think they are pretty cute. Even on Momusu but I am just kind of annoyed with the fact that they are using them to cover up the sexy curviness of some girls. UFA needs to come out and accept that some of the girls are curvier than others, and that's part of the reason they are so desirable. Then again, if it was the girls' choice (which I HIGHLY doubt), I'm all for it. I suppose some of them are more comfortable with exposing skin than others.

That was fun, don't you agree? LMAO

I had a half day of school today so I've spent the last 3 hours doing absolutely nothing. LMAO

This week is kind of sucking though. I have an oral test in Japanese on Friday and my test partner and I are first. Neither one of us are particularly ready...boo. I'm not gonna do well, I know it. Oh well. See, Nee-chan? I'm not stressing myself out this time!!! LOL

But I've been EXTREMELY social lately. I talked to Poe-chan from JPHiP two days in a row as well as Nee-chan and Estrea. It's weird, I've just felt like talking to ppl. Perhaps there's hope for me to have a real social life after all? LOL I've discovered a lot about ppl by talking to them too. For example, Poe-chan is a flirt and I'm really really good at making her melt!!! Estrea really is a nice person and isn't the scary writer I used to think she was. And Nee-chan is good at giving advice, especially in a certain department....*coughs*

Which brings me to my next point, I've been really.....pervy for the past week or so. It kinda worries me. LOL Even though I'm known for my much less than clean mind. I've just been thinking such naughty thoughts....hehehe But I've also determined that I'm really not ready to do any of that stuff yet. Because once again, thinking about sex is A LOT different that doing it. So yeah, this was sufficiently awkward. Haha

Let's see, what else did I want to talk about about?

Oh yeah, my current Christmas list. Oi, it's so long and I seem to be spending money that I don't actually have. LOL That's bad. Two things I definitely want to get for Christmas are Gaki's Happy Girl PB and Miki-sama's Coeur PB. I will get those no matter what. Everything else....we'll see.
Here's the list for now:
1. Cover You album
2. Momusu Calendar (I'll probably buy this for myself soon)
3. H!P Summer Concert 2008 DVD (Probably will become a self-purchase too)
4. Okitegami Single V
5. Momusu Alo Hello 3 DVD
There's more, I just can't think of it all at the moment.

Ah, I'm hungry...I want pizza. The truth is, I haven't had pizza since before I went to Japan, which was like 4 months ago. (O_O) Whoa, that's insane. I ate pizza in Japan but it isn't the kind I want now.

Rapid topic change again (LOL, Reina), but I downloaded the scans of Reina's Very Reina PB. And I'm sorry to say, but I was a little disappointed. >__> I know, right? But for some reason, it was not what I expected. It was pretty and sexy and stuff, but I was hoping for a little more. Hmm, I'm getting all snobby, aren't I? LOL It seems like this has been happening a lot with PBs for me. For example, I also downloaded Ai-chan's Mou Hitotsu no Ai and I was like ^^; Not that it was bad or anything but it was lacking something that her others (except for Mizu, not a huge fan of it either) have. I love Ai-chan to death but I was honestly a little disappointed. There were a lot of sexy ass shots though, which was both hot and a little disturbing. To tell the truth, I've never seen a PB (Not just Ai-chan, everyone) in which I like all the outfits and all the shots. Oh well. LOL There's always future PBs!!!

I think I've run out of things to say. LOL Oh, I was gonna take some pics of myself but I'm not feeling particularly "cute" right now. So stay tuned, I guess. LOL 
I'm off to do my homework now!!!

So glad it's Friday because I'm beat. This week was eh. Not great but not too bad either.

But I am scaring myself a little. Because I think I'm turning into one of those kids you see in movies that like falls in love with their teacher. Ew, right? In my defense, he is quite young so it's not like it's a dinosaur teacher or anything. But then again, I don't think I'm in love with him, but rather...attracted to him. So it's more towards the lust side. LOL but it's not like I want to fuck him or anything. I'm not like that.

And I'm also afraid that I'm going to "snap" and lose my mind. Seriously. This stupid worry all started when I heard that my friend got a job. She's the youngest out of all of us (the one that looks like Mikitty, Nee-chan) and she's always been kinda irresponsible and unreliable. But she's really been straightening herself out. She used to go out with friends on weekends all the time but is now staying home. She brought up her GPA (grade point average, btw) to a 3.0 from something lower. I'm super proud of her, honestly. But I wonder what will happen to me since I've always been the "good girl". Am I just going to suddenly rebel and do something stupid? I hope not.
Ok, that whole paragraph makes me seem very....narcissistic.

Anyway, I wanna talk about H!P too. lol
So I just saw the previews for Reina's new photobook, "Very Reina" and damn, the title should be "Very Sexy"!!! I was like dying as I looked at them. That purple bikini on the cover is so drool-worthy. But I really like the other shots too. Like the punk outfit (reminds me so much of Kanashimi Twlight), the black Loli dress (KAWAII~), the pink outfit (definitely typical Reina) and the yellow and pink outfit (she really looks like girls at my school). Reina is like my #3 right now. B/C I watched her little promos on Dohh Up! and she is a crack-up!! I loved it when there was that ice machine noise and she was like "what's that?!" And she stared for like a minute!!! She also gets really excited and I love her laugh. Which is why I keep her radio show as a podcast on my iPod. She may not be the smartest, education wise, but I love her anyway. LOL I really want to buy it, along with the "Real Challenge" DVD, which also looks extremely amusing!! Some more to add to my Christmas list, even though it's still October!!

Oh, and I listened to the audio of Grease in Japan. OMG Miki-sama sounds fantastic!! I was like smiling the entire time! I love her rendition of Sandra Dee, especially the "Elvis! Elvis!" part. GOLD. And I like We Go Together too. Ah, brings back memories of my childhood when me and my friend used to watch Grease all the time. *smiles* But my absolute favorite song is There Are Worse Things I Could Do, sung by Miki. Her voice was so strong and powerful. Ahhhhh, *melts*

This news can't wait, seriously.

Apparently, on March 31, 2009, all of Elder Club will be graduating. *sobs* I know, wtf? But according to JPHIP, they will all be continuing their activities, just not in the Project.
When I first read it, I was both furious and broken-hearted. I mean, all the superb, awesome, beautiful singers of our little Project are leaving. My Miki-sama is going away....*wipes away tears* But once I thought about it a little (and read genericpaperdoll's comment, I'm seeing the good light. It's not fair to keep them all with these teenagers and not give them any screentime. They are all great in their own right and deserve to do what they do.
I guess what I'm saying is.....I'm a little happy they are breaking out. *covers mouth in horror* I can't believe I said that. But the more I think about it, the more I'm understanding the motives behind it. They cannot be idols forever and it really isn't fair to force them to do it.
*sighs* I just hope they get lots of activities and attention wherever they go. (But not enough to make them sick or exhausted) I just want the best for them because I truly care about these women. I love them.... :( Gotta make the best of the 5 months we have left.
And I fully intend on comtinuing to support H!P after they leave. I still love most of the girls left so I have to help them keep the dream alive. I forsee a lot of purchasing in my future. LOL It's gonna be so weird with Ai-chan as the oldest. :D

Oh and before I forget to mention it: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAKI!!! 
My current favorite Momusu member!! She's 20 now, an adult. I can remember when she was just 13 and joining. It's been 7 great years and here's to many more!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
In honor of this great day (in Japan), I changed my wallpaper:

Wow, this journal has turned a lot more personal than I intended. But I've found that I need to write out my thoughts. It helps.
 

On to H!P news!!

Sayumi's coming out with a new PB, "Love Letter" on 9/29 and a Guam DVD, "Love Story" on 10/1. How appropriate with the Cinderella Musical just ending last month. Man, I must admit, I think Sayu makes the greatest PBs. Seriously. She's by no means my favorite member but she just looks so damn hot!! Foreal, her creamy skin and jet-black hair......*drools* Perfect Japanese woman by all means. Especially her "Dark Sayu" attitude!! I love it!! Anyway, her body is...tight but soft, you know? God, I sound like such a perv. (Which I am so nevermind) She just looks so irresistable!! And Guam means....more bikinis!!! WHOOOO~

Haromoni@ is ending soon, on 9/28. Which kinda sucks but I'm hoping they come up with something even better. But now that it's ending, it seems to be getting more interesting. I do like the idea of the different costumes every week. It's cool and keeps it that way. I still download it every week and intend on ripping them to a DVD and creating my own kick-ass case design. Cuz I'm pimpin. Back on topic, our beloved show, as well as Berikyuu, is to be replaced by Yorosen, a new show starting on 10/6. Wonderful Hearts (Momusu, Berryz, C-ute, Mano Erina) will be our entertainers. Meh, I'm not a huge fan of the Kids so I'm still skeptical. I mean, I like them but I like Momusu and Elder Club better. Hope it's good!!

Feeling kinda lazy so I think I'll stop here.

Future posts: Single Daizenshuu review!! I promise I'll get around to it eventually!!
 

Hello everyone!! I've been kinda busy-ish lately, which may or may not explain my 3-day entry absence.

On Saturday, my parents and I went to go watch a minor league baseball game in San Jose. I'm a baseball fan, btw. My uncle's friend was one of the umpires. He's from Japan and comes here to work. He has a wife and 2-year-old daughter back home that he only gets to see for a few months every year. He's a really nice guy. We went out to dinner with him after the game, which the home team won. It was a fun day.

On Sunday, my friend, Kelsi, came over with her best friend, Mizuki from Japan. Mizuki is staying with them for a year in a exchange program. Her English is really good. We all watched the Single Daizenshu concert. (Mizuki likes Momusu, btw~~) Mizuki and I were singing along the whole time! We also watched High School Musical 2 (not really my thing) and Mean Girls (BEST MOVIE EVER). They have to come over again because Mizuki wants to watch the Momusu Alo Hello 2 and they don't have an open region DVD player. I really like Mizuki. I'm also planning on going to their house so we can do karaoke!!! When Mizuki was in Japan, she did karaoke twice a week after school~ How cool is that!

On Monday, which was Labor Day in America, I had the day off from school. So I watched Haromoni@ (Gaki was so cute!) and did some homework. My parents and I went out to get ice cream because it was so hot. I got azuki (red bean) flavor. SO GOOOD~

The covers of the H!P calendars have been posted at JPH!P. Whoooo! The Momusu one is soooooo beautiful!!! All the white outfits are gorgeous!
Ai-chan: She looks so mature and leader-like. The shirt reminds me of Yossy, which is so awesome! God, she just looks so hot!
Gaki-san: Oh....My....Gah. *bleeds to death* She looks soooooo pretty. And cute. And perfect. *passes out from the beauty*
Kame: Hot damn!! I'd hit that! Totally reminds me of Miki-sama.
Sayumin: I kinda chuckled at her hair but it seems to suit her. She just makes you wanna buy her tons of presents!
Tanakacchi: Cho cho kawaii~~ She's like a little girl (because she's so small) but......ah. *wipes drool from mouth*
Koharu: I kinda hate her top but other than that, she looks oddly mature. And I like that.
Aika: The little brat's been growing on me. Her hair is beyond adorable and I'm kinda falling for her young charm. But she's still my least favorite. *sticks tongue out*
Jun Jun: Sexy~ Nothing else to say, I love her.
Lin Lin: God, she's a crackup. Not feeling her top either but I can let that slide. Cuz I'm just that nice.
Oh, and here's the pic!

Love~ I'll need to see some more previews but iI'm pretty sure I'll be purchasing this!

Today is Friday. The last day of my first week of school. I really can't wait for school to be over. I know I just started up again but I'm so tired. I barely have any time to update here, keep up on JPH!P and write fanfics. Which makes me sad.... Because I love doing those 3 things.
I'm trying to think of meaningful things to say.

...........

....................


..............................

I got it!! My High-King poster should be coming soon. The Taiwan one though. I didn't win the Japanese one. Which also makes me sad. But I'm still excited! And I'm planning on making a huge order on YesAsia tonight. It will consist of C-ute's Edo no Temari Uta II (LE), V-U-Den's Nannimo Iwazu ni I LOVE YOU (LE), and the Hello! Project 2008 Winter ~Kettei! Haro Pro Award '08~ boxed set thing (which is the whole reason i'm buying anything; 45% off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, and I'm currently watching Ongaku Gatas' new PV. You know, the one where Ishiyoshi finally comes out to the public. The outfits are pretty smoking, I must say. I'm not a leather person but they look hella fly! Rika's voice sounds great! The Mai-Yossy duet-ish thing blew my mind! And I really love the backstage clips of them. Yossy's WTF face was hilarious when Rika tied that bow on her head!!! But Kore-chan.....for some reason, she reminds me of a guy. She just can't look pretty to me, only cool. Which isn't a bad thing. I just find it a little strange.

AND....I downloaded that documentary thing where Rika goes to Nepal. It was so sad, I almost cried. She meets this 15-year-old girl who lives in a very rural village. Her parents work in the fields picking rice (I think?) so she has to care for her 4 younger brothers. She quit school when she was 12, even though she loved it. Her 12-year-old brother has polio and can't walk. So she has to bathe him, carry him around and watch over him. The compassion with which she cares for him is beautiful. Her 5-year-old brother has scabies, which is some kind of heat-related sickness in which little scabs form on the skin and are very itchy. Many of the kids in the village have it. The girl and Rika walk for an hour and a half to the next village that has a clinic. But it's closed and they can't get him any medicine. Rika is so adorable, in the way that she doesn't understand that they have to leave empty-handed. She keeps protesting that he's itchy and needs it. But the girl says there's nothing they can do. When they get back home, the brother with polio is sitting in the mud at the entrance, waiting for his sister to come home. Each person who is on this show is allowed to purchase one thing for the people they visit. Rika bought a water filtering thing so they can all have clean water. It was the water that was making everyone sick. It was really an eye-opening show. I want to help people too. I love the part at the end where Rika is holding the little boy. Something about my idols and small children just warms my heart.

Wow, much longer than I expected!! LOL

Today was my first day as a high school sophomore. I was dreading it but it wasn't too bad. I have classes with a few of my friends and my teachers aren't too bad. But I do have to switch my math class so I can leave early. It will make my schedule from 8:30 to 2:30, but with no lunch. :( I will have a few breaks to eat, which is nice. 
I am also currently in the process of attempting to purchase an official Japanese High-King poster~ My mom's friend will be buying it for me and having it shipped to her parents' house. From there, it will come to me!!! But I just sent her the link so I'm not sure yet. I already bought one on eBay a few days ago but it's the Taiwan version. Boo. So I'm gonna try and sell it to my cousin or my friend when it gets here.

I'm so tired right now. And a little hungry.
