Sayumi the Actress?

It would be one of my wishes came true if Sayu became a full fledged actress who starred in dramas which aren't produced by UFA and screened on prime time slots.

There was a drama which was aired on Christmas day this year in which she portrayed the evil (?) younger sister of lead actress, Ishihara Satomi. I'm guessing "Kare wa Imouto no Koibito" is about Satomi liking the lead actor but Sayu comes in and tries to steal the guy.

It seems like ever since they were kids, Sayumi had always been the pretty one, popular one, and most loved one by their parents or other people. Such a storyline would probably make viewers detest Sayu and support Satomi. Although I'm not too happy about this, but this character has been what the bunny had always portrayed and in a way, it is good that she is getting more jobs and exposure. I just hope she doesn't get too extreme negative responses for her role.

Episode 1 of Kare wa Imouto no Koibito

-----

Another drama which Sayusuke is starring in is "数学女子学園".

I'm almost positive this production is affiliated to UFA since many H!P girls make cameos. It is about the two 6th gen members being students in a school and revolves around Mathematics. Not too sure what else the drama talks about so I'll have to wait and find out.

Hmmm, didn't Sayumi once say she liked Maths the most? And since she isn't as dumb as she acts, she could emerge as the smarter one between her and Reina? Maybe ^^; Then again, Tanakacchi is the lead of MM now so that probably might not happen =(

CM for Suugaku Joushi Gakuen

Suzy - So Many Tears

This is a song that I keep playing recently. The melody is sad and so so beautiful. I feel that Suzy sang with a lot of emotions which really fit the lyrics. Who says being the face of a group means you can't sing well. The cutest neko in Miss A has proven otherwise.

FNS + The Chicken Suit

It's been a long time since MM last went on FNS. This year, they managed to secure an appearance. That's the only good news. The down side is they never got to sing since they were just 陪跳 for DMM. Maybe I should be thankful that they even got to be backup dancers considering Reina did get one line. BUT! It irks me that the H!P costume was so bad as compared to KARA and SNSD's.

Why couldn't UFA's costume designers update their skills and fashion sense? Those horrid furry garments have been in their performances since years ago! And stop letting the girls sing LM and RR21. They are 10 year old songs and the members aren't all below 14 anymore. It's ridiculous to pick such songs when MM has better music to offer.

I can't understand what the management is thinking. It really saddens to to see the other guests (especially the males ones) unable to take their eyes away from the Korean acts. I've always been a Jpop supporter and I love MM. I really hate to see how badly they are standing against the flood of Kpop groups entering the Japanese market and succeeding with mind boggling sales figures. Please Tsunku, do something right fast if you don't want MM to become a joke in the industry. Either that or graduate Risa and Sayumi so I can stop following the group. It hurts to see how much they have slided. I hope that MM can regain their former glory. I want MM to be popular again.

As if the FNS perf wasn't bad enough. What's with the crazy bright yellow chicken suit?! I know I've mentioned something about this recently but it's really too terrible to bear. It's not just the dress, it's also about the yucky chicken feet and head gear. Maybe it's a duck and not chicken but whatever it is, it's bad. Does Tsunku and UFA really think such a concept will sell? It doesn't take a genius to know it will fail. Big time. Even if MM is not compared with the Korean girl groups but with their own. They still lose to AKB in terms of song and costume. The school uniform and plaid might be dated but at least it's still somewhat hawt and provides a little bit of lolliness. May I know what fowl suits provide? It just makes people think they are selling fried chicken. Agh, stop ruining the girls like this. I think they might be embarrassed to go on shows wearing those outfits.

Aren't you supposed to be talented Tsunku? Then show me what you've got!

The Turtle's Day

Dear Eri-hime

Happy 23rd birthday!! I still miss you so, so much. If only you came back.

I hope your friends like Sayusuke and Gaki-san other than your family spent this special day with you and you will always be healthy and happy. Don't be sad over your grandpa anymore.

Loving you forever...


With best wishes,
Hammy

Heartless Cad!!

This was one of the saddest scene in the series imo. While watching, I seriously wanted to sock the guy! How could he reject Hyun Jung? And in such a cruel and heartless manner too. I can't like Pulip because she knew right from the start how much her best friend liked Baek Hyun. GRRRRR!!! To think that after HJ found out she still tried her best to be a nice friend to PL. Gah!!! Makes my blood boil! XDDDD And I keep thinking Pulip sounds like Tulip. Funny name =P

The words HJ said were so heartbreaking. Made me so sad SOBSSSSSS!!!! You aren't a burden! It's the dumbass guy who doesn't know how to cherish you.

HJ: "I'm very sorry for ever liking you." <--- This line made my heart shatter and drop to the floor. If you heard pieces of glass falling, yup, that's mine. =(....... From this sentence it's clear that HJ has given up. She has been hurt too deeply by the guy she loves and her friend. It's not gonna heal that easily =( BOO HOO HOO!!!! *cries like the rain* Lol. What?!?! I'm sentimental XDDD

This is one of the Korean ballads that I love a lot. If I remember correctly, the song title is called "Because I'm a girl." No idea what the lyrics is about but if it's talking about how because as girls, we will be depressed over relationships that don't work out, then we should all become guys since they have it so easy. Lol. And ewww at the bloodied toe! *faints* Haha just kidding. That ain't so bad, seen worse =P



Another scene that stuck in my mind was when the guy was carrying HJ to school so that they could take the exams.

BK: Are you feeling okay?
HJ: I'm feeling great... (This shouldn't be the reply as she was sick. Even if she did not want him to be worried, people would normally say, "I'm okay" or something along that line. But do you know why her reply was so??? Read on...)

HJ: ...because you are carrying me. (*BAWLS* NO!!!! This is too sad and heartwrenching!!! How could she feel great when she is ill just because he piggybacked her???! *sigh* Because she likes him that much.)

This actor somehow just rubs me the wrong way. No matter which drama he is acting in, I can't stand him =P And I'm annoyed by how Ji Yeon is always acting the party that is rejected by the guy. This makes no sense. I mean, JUST LOOK AT HER!!!! Lol. The casting is all wrong, seriously XD How can they expect me to believe any sane person would reject someone like her? Tsk XDDD

The cast of Dream High 2 is out! And yay Ji Yeon is in it. But boo that she's not the lead. She's probably gonna get the evil girl role and be the one bugging the lead guy.. She should have gotten the lead role damnit. That lead actress is so not nice *yucky face*

Storyline at Last

Hmmm I'm both excited and dreading the new DMM single. Looking forward to how UFA finally gives their group a PV with a storyline. And it's rather interesting, as it looks like a guy Rika likes has visited the nightclub where she is working at. But he entered with Kei and Koharu. She wants to confront him or something but Yuko stops her while Mari looks on.

For one, I think Rika's acting has somewhat improved, since she was really bad before =P Yuko was cool! And she could emote quite well. Mari was believable too. I wonder how Nacchi and Miki will fit into this. Makoto and Kaori too. Can Yossui be the pimp? =x Just kidding. It's kinda funny that the guy would pick Kei over Rika though. Maybe she lied about her occupation so he doesn't know she works here. But if that were true, then shouldn't she try and hide instead of going up to him?? Hmmm, so many questions.

The most intriguing portion will have to be Ai's appearance. She isn't dressed like a hostess. So is she the new girl who is on her first visit to her future workplace? Or is she here to look for someone? Perhaps one of the hostess is her sister? Or mom? =P Her outfit reminds me of High King. It's nice, I like it =) But I don't hope that they put her in the group. Being solo seems to be better for now.

And so it seems that MM's next single will have horrible costumes. And I do agree. What is that yellow thing?!?!? Unless they are gonna get a good deal promoting KFC, I seriously think they gotta change the clothes. What's wrong with the management??? Do they really think such a cover will attract buyers? OMG.... Please rectify the mistake soon! I don't want to see even more dramatic falling sales figures =(

Ji Yeon's Attitude?

Apparently there was some news about Ji Yeon being criticized for performing halfheartedly on live shows. I've seen a few of such videos and I have to admit she didn't look like she was in a good mood. Neither did she bother to smile or dance properly. Still, since we don't know what happened, we can't really judge or slam her. It's only humans to have their not so good days.

Cheer up girl! You still have loads of fans who support you despite of what antis might say.

This is one of those performances. She was still awesomely hawt and sexy though =x

Sayu's Shock?

There was this clip of Kaori talking about how Sayu she didn't turn up for practice and I saved the link for it intending to post it up as both of them had really interesting expressions. But ARGHS!! I somehow saved the wrong link and I can't find it again =(

I wonder if Sayusuke got a scolding for skipping practice. At that time she was still sorta new judging from their hair and outfits. She sure has guts to dare to not appear? Shouldn't it be Reina who is doing such things? She's the yankii no? XD

But I did find another clip of how she had this classic expression when the little girl said she liked AKB over MM. I loved how she did a double take. But man, that kid sure doesn't know a good thing when she sees one. It's Sayumin in the flesh!!!



Discovered a nice OPV of my favorite bunny. The creator is right, we can't hurry love. But oh how could anyone bear to not love this girl??! I would love her immediately ^^;

EunJi Couple

The thing about Korean OPVs is, they call it FMV (fan made video) and from what I've seen, the editing is really good. They manage to cut scenes from different shows and combine them to make it look like the 2 of them are in the same series. But most of the songs aren't really my cup of tea. Still there are ones I really love.

Like these. Beautiful and touching melody or heartbreakingly sad =(









I'm not sure if my favourite T-ara girls are called EunJi when together as I've seen variations, but I think I like this term the most. You can't believe there is a 5 year age difference between them can you? I'm guessing Eun Jung is childish hence she can get along with the much younger Ji Yeon XD


Random hilarious clip. Lee Jin already told her not to tear the tape with her teeth yet she still did it. And the funniest thing is, she obviously couldn't do it but she didn't stop. Lol. Cute.

Gaki's acting

I thought Risa did alright in her movie with Nakki where they were students who encountered some ghostly being? I loved the bit where the body splattered in front of her face and the blood splashed onto her. It was one scene where I was greatly impressed.

But I never imagined that she would improved by so much more since then. Her acting in the play was almost to the level of awesomeness. There were still some parts where she wasn't as convincing as she should be. But overall it was a job well done. I simply adore her fighting scenes. Very smooth and believable. I wonder if she practiced the moves outside of rehearsal. If so how and with whom? =P Ai-chan maybe? Just imagining them being rough with each other is... XD

The beginning was funny when the bottom of the wooden bucket flew off. Hey Gaki-san, you have comedic timing. Why not consider a career in comedy as well? =D

I've not been able to sit down properly and watch through the entire vid yet. But I know I would be impressed with the bean =) From what I've seen, she looks tiny among the rest of the cast. And she would probably end up with a sorethroat with all that screaming. I wonder what she must shout in such a low voice. And ouch when she got kicked. I hope she didn't get hurt during practice =(

Bae Suzy, Dream High

Bae isn't unheard of for a Korean surname. But somehow when it's said together with the name Suzy, it makes me think of Suzy is bae-ing. As in the horse kind =P But don't get me wrong, I quite like Suzy. She's so pretty and sweet looking. I love how she looks like the girl next door. And when she smiles with her two front teeth showing, she reminds me of an adorable bunny =D

I noticed her during "Dream High," which was the same show which made me like Eun Jung. If only the plot was about these two ending up together instead of Suzy and either guys ^^;

"Maybe" and "dreaming" are nice ballads. I know there were more nice songs in the drama, I just need to find them.

Happy birthday Ms Ham

I wanna giggle every time I see her last name. Ham...reminds me of me xD Hammy likes miss Ham Eunjung =D

Happy happy 23rd birthday!!

Is it a coincidence that I like so many idols born in 1988? Or does the year of the dragon produce more awesome idols? ^_-

Backlog of FICs + Alphabet Purses

It's been years yet I have not completed my chapter FICs >_< Pending ones include MGR, DD and Midnight. I suspect I left out more but these 3 are those I really wanna be able to have an ending. Why am I so inefficient!? Perhaps if.. didn't happen then things would have turned out differently.

But I have started thinking though DD and MGR. Maybe I can start writing them again during...
I think I know how both FICs should end. Surprisingly it's different from what I thought in the past. I guess experiences do change people and how they think?

Ganbatte yo hammy! You must must must finish these FICs. GS and GA can't be the only epic FICs from you. It would be a waste. And you need this or there will be nothing left.

I can't believe I found those purses that Ai bought for herself and Risa! The white hard canvas ones with the letters G and R printed on them. I still remember how Ai said she didn't buy the A purse as it didn't look as nice as the G. I even secretly hoped that she chose that letter cuz it represented Gaki =P I wonder what are they using them for. Make up? Most likely so. But I didn't buy it on the spot as I didn't have a use for it. But now I'm regretting as I'm afraid it will be gone if i try and find it again. And the worst part is i dont think I will go back there =( I'm regretting so much for not buying Ai's heart necklace when I could. No one understand the joy of finding something that your idols use. Unless it's similar thinking people. But those are hard to come by.

The Month of Plays

It's funny to see how Gaki doesn't bother to change the title of her blog posts when she's writing about her play. I didn't expect her to be the type to just reuse the same title. She must be pretty busy and tired on most days to resort to this.

Up till now I have no idea what it's about except that there are a lot of people involved. I'm guessing the storyline is about a group of bodyguards and how they protect the person they are supposed to keep safe? But why do these 8 bodyguards dress differently? Are they from various time periods? If that was the case, then perhaps Ai could have been one of the 8 and she could continue wearing her Sara outfit =P

Somehow I think it would be awesome if there was a play focusing on Gaki's character and Sara. The plot could revolve around how Risa was an imperial bodyguard who stumbled across and fell in love with a vampire-Sara. I know Ai is human in her play but we could always tweak it a little. And so the entire town wants to eliminate Sara due to fear and not understanding that she is a kind vampire who doesn't feed on human blood. By standing by her love, Gaki ends up being ostracized by the people and the 2 of them have to run for their lives. Of course in the process of escaping to another place where no one knows them, a lot of fighting, blood, "love scenes" must be included =P I would love to see a scene of AiGaki baring their souls (and possibly their bodies as well) to each other on stage. They wouldn't be naked for real, but some strategically positioned lighting and good nude bras would come in handy ^^;

Why couldn't UFA had come up with such a play when both AiGaki were still in H!P? Fans would be super happy to see such a production especially if a kissing scene was included. Damn, I wanna see this so bad! I like both Ai and Risa's costumes in their respective plays although the beans would have been even more epic if her boob area was more filled up xD

If only I could attend the viewing of these plays. Watching my favorite girls in the flesh would be such a treat.

Hamtop brand matchsticks and sotong brand xx xxxx. Brings back memories.

Sayu's English Level

Teehee. I don't think anyone thinks Sayumin is anything but cute singing the alphabet song this way. Somehow she sounds similar to Risa when the bean sang this song too. Do all Japanese pronounce "C" as shee? XDDD

Sayu's Secret Fantasy?

Sayu: Maasa is a very physical (touchy) person. She will be like "Michishige-san!" and then slap me on the butt.

Maimi: Doesn't Risako do that too?

Sayu: No way? I wish she would.

HAHA OMG Sayu!!! is that your secret fantasy?? I don't get what's so attractive
about Risako though =x But she was one cute kid.



Special thanks to Onlymshige for putting up the clip and translating it. Onlymshige is a really nice username. I like it =)

Mobekimasu

You know when people say kids learn better when they see both visuals and sound? That's right you know. Cuz I couldn't for the life of me remember the H!P group name until I saw the Hey!x3 episode that they went on. After the groups introduced themselves individually, their name finally stuck in my mind. I don't understand why C-ute is represented by "ki" and not "kyu" though.

Let's talk about impressions. Gaki looks good, amazingly =P Both her hair and size aka figure is nice. The only bit that made me go a little hmmmm was during the perf when she tried too hard...again ^^;

Sayumi was alright. Pretty overall but I couldn't see much of her. Not a single scene during the song at all =(

Reina seriously needs a new hairdo. She is smart to wear a garter? Too bad it wasn't as sexy as it shouldn't been. Perhaps it would have worked better if someone else had it on =x

UFA really doesn't know how to educate children. How could they put Riho in the middle of the entire mess of people???! This would make her think that she is the ace of H!P. Even if they intend to mould her as that, they shouldn't make her big headed so soon. Anyway, Airi is a more talented artiste and the kappa-chan should become the face of H!P more than Sayashi.

Miyabi's chin seems be have shrunk =x She is more beautiful now. The short bob really suits her. I like Masaa. I do. But that girl and Risako both need to go on a diet...badly. Seeing how long these two have been tipping the scales, it only goes to show how lax their management is. The girls should go through some form of Kpop girlgroup training. That way, they might become more successful =x

I'm surprised Momoko wasn't around. It couldn't have been because of age, cuz she definitely isn't that young. Did she have other job commitments? That card she drew was ultra adorable. It's surprising that she has taken over Kei as the butt of jokes. I thought such roles usually went to the non-babes? But since she's good at it and seems to be able to take it, I hope she becomes more popular after people watch her on shows.

Maimi was stunning! But somehow I kept mistaking her for Airi during the dance ^^;

Mano looked good too. Athough her skin seemed a little bad. I can't figure out why she is pretty every other time except in that Kamen Rider movie I'm so looking forward to watching. To think that movie could have given her a shot at international fame since the franchise is known overseas. *sigh* She either doesn't have the luck, or someone is out to sabotage her.

Nothing much about S/mileage except that most of the girls in this group look quite nice.

I'm more than a little shocked that I can hear quite a number of females in the audience screaming. But whatever interest the non-fans might have gotten after watching the talk segment would have flown out the window after the girls removed their outfits onstage. UFA sucks at marketing and promotion >.< If they had to include that portion, at least let the camera feature the girls doing the actual removing of costume? =P

The song is only so-so. And sales wasn't great at 54,000+. Will H!P never see the day of million copies sale again? *Sigh* Unlikely, possibly never in my lifetime =(
