So today is a major day for me. Yossy's birthday, Airi's birthday, Gomaki Ganbare! Day and the last part of Aibon's interview (excuse me for still calling her that. For me she'll forever be Aibon no matter who much she changes). So to all my four beloved idols something is happening today.

I had planned to do a long post about them. But let's put all that aside. Why? Because

1. I've got a shitload of schoolwork again and no time for blogging
2. I'm stunned. And I'm A WAY MORE stunned that I was with Namida no Iro.

Just... how great is this? And (I NEVER swear!) why the fuck didn't they have this as the main version? May I ask? Just what is the logic behind this? I know that everyone else is thinking the same. But I still cannot understand...

Aichan looks genuinely lonely. This scene... the way she gulps... She really made me almost cry. Gaki and Reina were great (can you say that in this case?) too. Actually... I don't think I'll be able to write anything smart now. So I'll leave that for the good writers.

Just... When will they learn to do stuff in widescreen?

 

I feel bad for not featuring any of those for I mentioned first. I love you all! You're my top four, can you hear?! (Though Aichan... you might be number five now...) I'll put one of my favourite photos of each one. ♪

 

 

 

Wow, Gocchin was a hard one since I don't have any favourite photos of her. Probably because she's always gorgeous :P (though so are all of these girls!). In the end I decided to put a funny one because I love those jeans to death.

Actually, these photos tell quite well the images I have of each of these girls. Unfortunately I'll have to change my image of Aibon since that's what she wants... But since a picture tells more than a thousand words, I'm convinced not to try to say anything more but to read my love for these girls in the photos.

PS. People at Hello!Online translated Aibon's blog entries. I love them! ♥♥

Now that I've officially announced my favourite, it's a proper time to rank my Musumes, isn't it? At least I should tell who I hate. But the thing is: as much as I love reading other people's rankings, I find them extremely difficult to do myself. I really don't get the whole thing. How can I rank my beloved idols? It's not that I didn't have favourites, I certainly do (♥YOSSY～～!!!♥) but it's that I don't have any that I hate or even dislike. Everytime I try not to like someone of them, I end up doing the very opposite.

 

Let's start with Gottsuan. For a long time I thought she was just the sexy one singing a kind of music I don't really like, as I prefer the cheerful style (except for Iroppoi Jirettai, Kanashimi Twilight and Munasawagi Scarlet kind of songs which I really like) of Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou and Ayaya. But then, after viewing a couple of fan performances I gave her a chance and watched some of her PVs in YouTube. (Shall We Love? had maybe a little bit of influence too. :)) I really started to love her voice and found a number of her songs very catchy, the likes of Uwasa no Sexy Guy. There has been a lot of people to say that she has the best vocal abilities among Hello!Project and I think she is at least one of the best (let's not forget Ayaya).

However, now I'm totally in love with her and she actually made me like that r'n'b style music that I've never before found interesting. (However, I'm still not yet a fan of all her PVs.) I'm very sad that she left H!P now that I've finally started to like her. I hope she will have a great career in the future, if she only wishes to keep singing. Which I certainly wish she will do.

 

Coming to Aichan. As there have been a lot of debate about her leading skills going on lately, I feel that I have to add my own opinion. Also she has been accused of being the most boring personality in Morning Musume (probably both past and present members). I can't really agree on that. Maybe I'm just so boring myself that I'm able to find Aichan just as interesting as everyone else. :) But I definitely do that. All I can say that she's really an amazing singer, perfectly beautiful and also lovely on every other way. Maybe a little strange though.♥

And I can't really say anything about her leadership since I have never seen her in action. I don't even watch Haromoni@, if one can see something about it there. I just have a feeling that the others respect her very much.

By the way: I also think that the short hair suits her very well and that she is one of the best dancers in H!P. 

 

When I was first introduced to Berryz, Risako was my least favourite. I thought that she had way too much lines in their singles even though she didn't sing very well (lives were even worse) and she had a self-satisfied smile with those straightened teeth that didn't seem to fit well in her mouth. This time the changing point was watching Berryz Koubou's concert performances. Watching the little Risako giving her best made me see what makes her so popular. I felt she was one of the best dancers and I liked the way she moved her legs while dancing. So for me, the appreciation for Risako started only when I saw the little her, the youngest but not the least one of Berryz Koubou keeping up with the older ones and really seemed to work hard.

My opinion about her singing voice was also changed when I heard her singing an Ayaya cover Hajimete Kuchibiru wo Kasaneta Yoru in Hello Pro Hour episode 12. In the beginning I discovered quickly that her voice sounds very nice in lower parts of songs. After listening to her solo track, a cover of Ayaya's (Ayaya again!) Yeah! Meccha Holiday in Berryz koubou's summer mini album, I like her voice even more. I find that song very suitable for it, as if it had been made for her, not Ayaya. When she performed it in Berryz Koubou's summer concert tour 2006, it made even her live singing good. Here you can see the performance. (Sorry for the bad quality, couldn't find a better one now :(.)

And just see that picture of Risako I have here and you'll know what I nowadays think about her smile. ♪ (Though I still prefer her teeth when they weren't straightened yet. The same goes for Nono.)

 

Last but not least the "Miracle", as we all have come to know her. :) She has been the only one I have actually disliked. That irritating grin, that horrible singning voice and the front position she has got in Morning Musume lately... Those are all things that made me not very fond of her indeed. I didn't even find her good-looking. I think it's something about her nose... anyway, this case is no exception. Kohachan finally won me over. This time it was her album, that I decided to download (and now I'm certainly buying it!) even though I didn't like her. I guess it's because of my obsession about completeness (though which one of us didn't want to own a perfect H!P collection ♥), or maybe because I thought they were giving her kind of good songs with nice compositions even though she couldn't sing. Whatever the reason was, I'm really glad I did it. ☆ Because I think there are some of the greatest ballads (or at least most touching) of all H!P. I enjoy listening them when Koharu sings them, and oh how I would enjoy to hear Gottsuan singing some of them (which won't be possible anymore. It could have happened in a H!P concert, or at least I hoped for it). I miss you is my favourite but I also love Hoshi no Shizuku, EVERYDAY PRECIOUS DAY and the b-side of Balalaika, Mizuiro Melody. Now I miss you is one of the songs I've been playing the most in my iPod. You can hear it here.

After all this came the photobook POP that convinced me about her looks, as there are some very beautiful photos of her (I didn't know she's actually BEAUTIFUL) This photo is a good example (no annoying smile anywhere near!).

 

 

 

 

So, let's not hate our idols! They're great anyway. Love and peace, people! ♪
