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 ^^;

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 =(

AiGaki's 2nd Honeymoon in Korea ~ Part 1

Thank you so much for the subbed version of Hello Time #23!!!

I enjoyed myself viewing it without subs but the entertainment level shot through the roof when I could understand what the girls were saying.

I must say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gaki with hair in this light shade of brown. I can't believe that I said she didn't look as good as Kame with it. After her appearance singing 'Best Friend', I totally fallen in love with her this look. It's such a pity she didn't keep it for a longer period.

Is it weird that I've dreamt of the crown Ai-chan is wearing on her head for 2 nights in a row? I even dreamt of the price! It costs $12.xx lol. I wonder where she got that. On the plane? Or a gift shop on the way out. If it's from a shop inside the Korea airport, I'm so gonna get myself one if I ever visit the land of Kimchi.

Such big bags for just a 2 day 1 night trip? These girls must need a lot of stuff when away from home. Are their bags the same design but in a different color? The pink one is cute but like Ai, I would probabaly get a color that didn't scream out ^^;

LOL at Ai feeling embarrassed after yelling out "LET'S GO!" I love how cute and duck-like she sounds while Gaki's English intonation was too perfect.

Awww, isn't it sweet how Risa knew what were the things Ai wanted to do and even thought of more fun stuff to add on? I'm so envious of their relationship.

I couldn't stop replaying this scene! It's the cutest ever!!! Gosh, I can't stop blabbering about how adorable their interaction and expressions are. Especially the bean when she pouted and looked annoyed that Ai was peeking at their itinerary XD

Karupichipul?? Lol again at Ai's way of saying that. She is so playful. This isn't a side we normally see of her. It must be because she is with Risa huh? One of the rare persons she can act so comfortably with.

Ai being all pleased with herself. She must be happy that she managed to decipher the destination. Her clapping and Risa trying to drown out that with her own "ahhhhhhhhh" makes me all fuzzy inside. AiGakiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! I love them so so much!!!'

Tee hee hee at the eating chilli bit. It's obvious Ai watched Risa's expression before deciding that she was going to try the chilli too. I couldn't take enough screencaps to capture every moment of this wonderful scene. It's just too cute and funny! And prior to that, how the bean "offered" her wife the first bite was funny too XDDD

You are probably wondering why I took this screencap. It's cuz of Ai-chan's outfit! It almost looks like it were a PJs top =P So sexy walking around Korea in this =x

I don't know how she did it but Risa made me laugh even with the part where the owner of the stall chose to answer the phone first before settling her payment XD Oh Gaki-san, why are you so darn adorable!?!??

What is so surprising about Ai wanting to shop? Lol, sometimes Risa just asks the funniest things. Look at the furry red heart (?) pillow at the top left corner of this screencap. Why would Ai need this? To nap on the plane? They provide mini pillows no? She should have brought along her red towel instead of a red cushion =P

Boots! Boots are one of the awesomest footwear. That's a Dr Marten's aint't it?

I almost went ballistic when Risa said "HK stations are like this too." Thinking, OMG she went to HK?!?!? Then I remembered MM did travel to HK for one of their FC tours. I wonder if she visited the country again for a personal trip.

I like their bags. Coincidentally both are pink. Ai's has studs! How cool is that. And Risa's resembles a bag by Marc Jacobs. Initially I thought it was that and almost rushed to get one. Then I realized the print says something Hawaii. Did she purchase hers in Hawaii during one of the AloHello PB trips?

I thought Ai wanted it for herself. In the end it was for her sis. Somehow I can see her carrying it? ^^; I'm sure I will see this bag being sold somewhere sooner or later.

Apparently such cosmetic stuff are really cheap in Korea. My friend said people ship them back home in cartons @@

LOL! Everyone go buy it? Really, Gaki-san, how much earbuds can you use in a lifetime? XD

So thrilled by the FOC mirror. We have Etude here too. Too bad no AiGaki is shopping inside.

I still don't know what brand Risa's watch it. Anyone who knows please tell me? Although I'd much prefer the gold Mickey one that Ai gave her. And what does the black leather bracelet say? Be....what? Be mine? Did the wife give it to her? =D

Couple's watch =)

Guess what's the best part?

THIS!! Makes the pain easier to bear. I love how cute they look. And I can think of the monkey and bean whenever I see them =D

Majidesuka SUKA ~~

MM's 45th single Maji Desu Ka Suka! released on 23 March 2011 and first song with the new 9th gen members. There are a total of 4 LE and 1 normal edition. There are usually single V DVDs but this time I have not heard news of one yet. Could it be that because the various PVs are already included in the LEs, there won't be a single V? All the LE come with one of the Kyukkies solo interview. I wonder what is this application card that comes with the NE? Is it a photocard? But it sounds like some gaming thing. Hmmmm.

Limited Edition A
Close Up Type 1

Limited Edition B
Dance Shot Type 1



Limited Edition C
Close Up Type 2


Limited Edition D
Dance Shot Type 2

Normal Edition
Application Card

I like the covers in this order. D, A, C, NE then B. I can't wait to see all the different PVs. The song is catchy and makes me grin while watching. Some of the antics the girls get up to are pretty funny. For example Ai and Sayumi :D Gaki looks good too so I'm happy about this. But why is she singing in such a low voice? Her usual voice is already not high.

PV from Bijo Gaku



Melodix Talk and Perf on 26 March 2011

Why was Sayu's ears so red when she spoke?

Risa's outfit looked the most suitable to be worn out. I love her hair but why does she seem so thin? Yabaii is she on a diet or is something wrong? *in worry mode*

Ai looks good in red. Pity they decided to give the color to Riho.

Aika's hair is hmmmm :P

I only stared at Ai, Risa and Sayu. Strange that I kept noticing the bunny's cleavage ^^; After watching the rest, I think it's because her tube top isn't tight fitting unlike the others. I wonder why. Oh and for some reason she appears more cool and unfazed when dancing/performing now. Shabodama was the 19th single so she took 26 singles to achieve this :P

Happy Music on 2 April 2011 (I think it was aired on the 2nd, I can't remember)

Gaki is just wow. Her hair is great and she looks great. She is totally worthy of someone taking her picture to the plastic surgeon and asking to become her :P But it's strange because Risa doesn't seem to be overdoing her moves? Did she tone down or is something wrong? As much as I prefer her to not overexert and make me laugh while watching her ^^; I don't want her to be feeling ill or anything. *worries more* Why was the sound so bad when she was singing her line? Blah, bad sound system XDD

Ai is definitely in top form. Look at that smile, that face, her hair! XD Yep, her current hairstyle certainly gets better as I see it more. I wonder when she will perform with her new funky pinkish-orangy dyed ends hair.

Like the other perf, Sayu's jacket still wants to run away from her XD I think the bunny was more eyecatching in the Melodix perf for some reason.

Zukki is a dork XDDD I think I can say I'm okay with her and that Eripon girl now. But I'm still if-fy about the other 2.

MM 45th Single: Maji Desuka Suka! 《 まじですかスカ！》

Hmmmm so I knew I didn't recognize this song while watching the rehearsal of 9 gen and their senpais. Then later I realized that it was the new single! Talk about being slow ^^;

Judging from what little I could see from the clip, all 4 seem to be quite okay dancers. In fact they beat their seniors when they first started. The only one who appeared not as fluid in her movements was.

The highlight of the video was when Ai and Sayu came!!! It's telling from the paper bags they were carrying that they went shopping before coming XD They must have had a radioshow recording then went for lunch and a bit of a buying spree :D

Awww, I miss Eri and her dancing :( On the bright side, Gaki looked pretty good. Outfit and all :) I loved how she tied her hair and how cool she looked.

Aika reminded me of Yossui for some reason. And she looked taller. Or are the 9 gens just short? XD

I quite like the way they split the screen into 4 boxes for the PV. As for the costumes, they remind me of NCK. And for some reason my eyes zoomed into Ai's legs immediately and my mind screamed FISHNET STOCKINGS!!! Lol.

I know another pair of legs which flashed past had them on too but my mind couldn't register who that girl was :P Only after countless repeats of the very short CM did I realize there were at least 2 others in those, Sayu and one of the new girls. I'm pleased with Gaki's hair but not the color of her jacket. They better not make this a permanent thing -_-;

Supaaaaa Sayu??

First post of March 2011. And the honour goes to...*drumroll please* Sayumin!!!! *thunderous applause* XD

She totally deserves it no? I mean, look at her! She's pulling an entire mini bus by herself! Though it's called a mini bus, that thing is by no means mini XD And this is coming from the girl who has zero athlectic talent XDDD

I hope she didn't suffer from sore muscles that night. If she did she must be thinking why is herself and the sole 8 gen member the only ones in MM who can give a decent massage. I'm sure she would prefer Eri to massage her as compared to Aika :P Yeah...ma...ssage....(Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1? Yeah, I think I am B2) LOL. I'm being lame again ^^;

The bunny definitely looks shocked at her success. Hell, I'm shocked too. Frankly I wondered if someone was inside the vehicle and driving it slowly :P But nah, I think once she got the momentum going, getting the wheels turning wasn't impossible. And I think she didn't even break a sweat? XD Atta girl, at this rate you're be an Olympic star in no time XD

A Cartload of MM Goodies

Oh I don't know. Somehow I find the 9th gen aren't as thrilled about receiving those items as I hoped they would be? If it were me I'll be ecstatic? I mean, some of those CDs are hard to find! And first press releases too. Lucky kids :(

The middle one (she's the Egg right?) and the right most girl are definitely more enthusiastic as compared to Riho though. That girl still rubs me the wrong way. She isn't that cute or pretty appearance wise. She better make up for her annoying haughty air with really good singing and dancing skills.

On the other hand, I must say that she is smart. Declaring she wants the position of leader on her first public appearance. That makes people take notice of her. Even I remember her name when I still can't figure out the faces and names of the rest. That being said, it doesn't mean I like her :P

*Sigh* I miss my K4.

An Open Display of Affection

Besides the fact that both Ai and Risa look darn gorgeous with that hair and outfit, the best part about this clip is how they were hugging.

Pay special attention to how tight their embrace were. I loved...

a) The way Mame staggered backwards when Ai bulldozed into her XD

b) How Risa patted and rubbed her wife's lower back

c) The smile they exchanged. I can't see Mr Niigaki's expression, but from Ai-chan's, I think it would have been just as adorable

d) Naughty Ai-chan smacking Gaki-san on the cheeks. Twice too XD You have to be close to be able to do that

I wonder what thoughts were running through Sayumi's head when she witnessed this.

a) Chee...Ai-chan already hugged me first

b) Ehhhh?!?! Why didn't Ai-chan hug me?

c) I'm so gonna kill that bean! Yup, boil and cook her into green bean soup

d) I shall kiss Ai-chan like crazy after this. Pay back for not getting to hold her now

Bijou Gaku #35 ~ Fortune Telling + Foot Massage

I thought there were going to eat Korean food. And the C-ute girls had to leave as the restaurant served alcohol? But it turned out that it was a fortune telling session. And yep, I know that if you are under a certain age you aren't allowed to read your future.

I love how Ai-chan seems so unwilling at 1:26 min. Does she hate to reveal her age? She really isn't that old at all. And she definitely looks much younger. Can't say the same about someone I know haiz. Risa's writing made me realize once again how pretty she is.

Gaki-san has such kiddish handwriting. I would have thought a child wrote those words :P Okay this part is interesting. Apparently those born in the rat or boar years during Summer and Winter would be good rivals to her? Huh?! I don't get it. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong and it doesn't mean that at all? I need a translation!

Ai again has a cute expression on at 2:47 min. I wonder what she is thinking at that point. I grinned when she laughed out at 2:56 min. And she touched her head again. Her infamous habit. Kawaii ne. Did she lose weight? Ai's face seems thinner. I hope she has been getting enough rest. But I have to say she looks really good.

AiGaki has huge reactions when they heard that Ai should try for the MC route. I know she fumbles but who said a good MC can't fumble? She could be those hosts whose characteristic is to be cute and dorky. And somehow I think she would succeed in the end. She just needs more confidence in herself.

Ai's eyes widened so much at 4:35 min. I wonder what the fortune teller said. I love how she looked at Mr Niigaki after that. The way she looks at people is always so... I don't know how to describe it. It's just nice how she does it. And then they both mess with their hair :) With Ai's getting more messed up ^^; And she said "I'm sorry" at 4:56 min!!! It was so cute!! Her tone and all :)

Yay for linked arms at 5:32 min. And Ai went to touch the woman's cheek XD Kawaii!!!

I know that's supposed to be some sort of herbs that they are boiling? But it feels like soup to me. I would have gone to drunk it if no one told me it wasn't for drinking ^^; Poor Gaki looks so bored while sitting on the thing to be boiled XD

LOL at 8:03 min when they started pointing at each other. I think they were hoping that they didn't have to go through with the foot reflexology. They should all try it. It's quite a nice feeling.

And they messed up their hair again at 8:54 min XD Is it really true that when people spend more time together they end up following each other's actions and habits? They barely started the game and Ai lost already? XDDD Awwww, the way she falls to the floor and how Risa patted her head makes me go all mushy inside :)

From 9:16 min on is pure gold. Omg, thank you so much AG for making me smile. I really needed that. The return of the baka and aho XDDD 10:27 min, look at how Ai rests her hand on the TV and her hip. It's cute! Hearing Risa go "Ai-chan~~" at 10:16 min made me happy :D

Ehhhh?! Wait a sec. How is it that the woman can massage feet now? You mean she wasn't the fortune teller? Why do they look alike then? @@ Lol at Ai-chan yelling her head off about the pain while Gaki didn't even flinch XD Ai's xin jo OHHHHHHH!!! at 11:16 min was XDDD The way she contorted her body and her face was adorable to me. And her posture in the chair too. She sank so low, lol, with her arms so rigid by her side. It must have really hurt ^^; Sigh, why are you so cute in so many ways? Why can't the dumb bean see it too? :(

44th Single Promo ~ On Ryu

I think On Ryu~ was the show which did a feature on Cinderella in the past? Thus I like this show XD

1:35 min is evidence that Eri is actually a S when she is alone with Sayumi :P

Reina looks absolutely bored. But then again, the show seems kinda boring so I can't really blame her ^^;

Damn you UFA, get them on an interesting show already &#$^#(*$&U@(I

I like their furry boots. Looks very huggable :)

And I'm annoyed now cuz the stupid thing didn't save my draft as I was stupid and signed out of gmail in another window and didn't realize this would happen. AHHHHH!!! Now I have no mood to retype everything else that I wrote before :(

AiGaki on their HoneyMoon

The morning after the wedding XD

Why is Ai holding the umbrella when Gaki is the guy? Tsk! :P

Ai-chan's yatta yatta while jumping is cute. She sure loves her kimchi :D

Doubt Airi knows anything about korea from her expression. Haha.

LOL!!! At Gaki's HAI?!?! *with flying brows included*

That thing looks like a torture device lol!! But since it's related to food, could it be used to press down those Korean pancakes as they are being cooked? Oh I know!! It could be a pizza slicer lol!

WHY IS AI STILL HOLDING THE UMBRELLA?? OMG GAKI, DO SOMETHING!!! lol.

And I laughed again when Gaki's mouth dropped open. Is it so shocking to be pressing down on that lump of dough?

That is one huge cake. And why didn't you offer it to your wife first Mr Niigaki??? *Tsk many times* XD

I suspect Maimi could be a better bf than Risa? Just look at how the 2 handle the umbrella. The Cutie leader balances it on her shoulder in a way which ensures Airi doesn't get wet. But the bean...XD The edge of the brolly kept poking into the back of leader's head, lol.

I still think the way Ai eats is cute. WHY IS SHE SO CUTE SO EFFORTLESSLY?!?!

And they can't stop eating. Is that bun/cake/pancake really that majisoyou??

YEAH!!! Ai has her hand around Risa's arm!!! *bounces up and down happily*

EHHHH?!?! Are the guys really that good looking? I don't think so :P They look like they have more make-up than the girls ^^;

They sure are excited by the mega bowl of ice-cream cum ice? I could recreate that, just dump 10 helpings of ice kachang with ice-cream together XDDD Thus my point is, come here MM and C-ute, I'll let you have as much of this dessert as you want :P

After watching till the end of the clip, I have to say, that #1 most popular guy in the shop... is not cute at all, period XDDD

The Wedding Dinner ~ #30 & #31

As I am watching the clips, I began to wonder, do the average Japanese people really attend such classes? To learn about how to behave in a wedding dinner? There are so many ppl involved in it eg. wedding couple, guests at the dinner, props, booking the venue, renting the outfits, cost of the sensei etc. Won't it be really expensive?

Moving on to the main point of this post now XD

Starter ~ #30

Ai-chan was really cute when she kept looking at the men for cues. And is it just me or did her range of facial expressions greatly increase? I never knew that she had such varied expressions and all of which are incredibly kawaii!!

As I watched leader drink her soup, I was wondering when the sensei would yell stop :P Scooping soup outwards and siping it from the side of spoon is right but oh no!! She didn't eat the croton first. Buuu buuuuuuu~! No more soup for the adorable saru-like lady :(

With all her comments in the tiny window on the screen, Gaki-san sure looks like she knows how to handle the soup. Did she peek at the sensei's notes? Or does she really know? She scored really well on an old H!M episode where they were tested on phone ettiquette. So maybe her family taught Mame to be a proper little lady :)

I thought it was sweet that Risa knew Ai liked corn soup. But apparently this trival should be known by Ai fans? As someone told me XD

Main course & Dessert ~ #31

Ai-chan again shows off her super duper cute expressions in this vid. She makes me smile so much while watching and makes me think she is really darn cute. I'm supposed to be a bigger Risa fan! Oh man, is my love for the bean beginning to waver? ^^;

I lol-ed! at the bit when a piece of meat dropped out of her mouth XD And again when I spotted the speck of sauce near her mouth XDD Lol at Gaki's reaction. This couple is too cute for words!
!! Ai's pout = killing ppl

I was laughing like crazy when I saw how Maimi and Airi ate their bananas. Why did they choose bananas?? It's just weird even to say the girls are eating bananas :P

It's obvious one shouldn't pick it up and bite it so Maimi was out straightaway. And gosh Airi, can you not be so cuteeeeeee? How do you intend to slice off the skin after cutting it into tiny pieces? It would take forever XD

LOL!! OMG HAHAHA. I'm convinced this entire 3 episodes is to reaffirm the fact that Ai-chan is indeed kawaii XD Firstly the way she sliced the banana so was gentle. It was as if she was afraid it would feel pain XD Then the clanking of the knife she was holding against the dish was funny and adorable too. Ai-chan!! Please continue to be this cute so you can attract and hold on to your hubby. That Gaki can be too slow and dumb so sometimes you have to take the initiative :D

Seeing that pic of Risa and Saki on the cover of their DVD makes me want to see the movie so bad. A cool Risa is love. I hope the show makes it to our shores. I wanna watch it in the cinema!!

AiGaki to be Married!

I wish that were really true XD Those 2 were in Bijou Gaku (did I spell that right?) #28 which talked about the correct way to present a gift to a marrying couple.

At first I wasn't too thrilled that Airi and Maimi were also there as I wanted AiGaki to have more time together. Surprisingly the 2 C-ute girls weren't very chatty so having them around was fine :P

I really should have taken screencaps of the episode instead of just including the link but I can't do that right now so this will have to do ^^; Hopefully the vid isn't taken off too quickly. Or maybe it isn't even available anymore XD

The highlight for me definitely has to be when AiGaki kinda bantered about who should be the sensei's assistant. They were really cute there! Haha, I can't stop smiling when I think back to how Ai pulled Gaki away and said she should be the assistant and Risa did the same to her but she didn't exactly pull her wife. It was more like patting her aside somewhere near her butt. Kawaii!!!

I don't think it's a surprise that I enjoyed leader's segment the most since well, I am more of a MM fan than the other groups in H!P :P Tell me again why a grown woman can be so adorable and cute in her mannerisms? *Sigh* Ai is really someone whom people in general can't help being attracted to :)

As for Gaki, I liked to watch all her funny expressions when she observed the other girls or when the sensai was yelling, lol. Maybe besides being a DJ, she has potential to become a comedy actress? XD

What I really REALLY want though, is a nice drama with AiGaki as leads. Preferably in a show with a sadistic storyline and them being a couple :P I know it's a near impossible wish, but I still can dream right? ^^;

Say Cheese! ~ Bijo Gaku #15

I think I rarely blog about TV shows? But this time it was too cute not to. 'Bijo Gaku' is a series where the H!P girls appear in random groups and do even more random things XD I remember Gaki, Lin Lin, Momoko and Maasa were involved in some sushi thing while Ai, Reina, X and X (I lost the files before I had the chance to watch them so I don't know who the rest of the girls were) had fun with mega calligraphy brushes.

Sayumi, Aika, Maimi and Mai had their stint in the kitchen cooking. But they also had the chance to try working in an aquarium. I was surprised that this group got to do 2 rather different jobs but I guess it could be because UFA wanted to expose Sayu more since they seem quite happy with her as a variety idol. Unfortunately I didn't watch the underwater bits properly as I have a phobia about the sea and anything that lives beneath it ^^;

The latest episodes has Eri, Jun Jun, Captain and Yurina playing with cameras. I like the photography theme since I enjoy looking at cameras myself. Pity I don't understand Japanese well or I could pick up some tips from the sensei. He is the guy behind all those adorable big-head doggy merchandise that was hugely popular some time back.

Anyway, onto the show. I was a little bummed that Kame didn't get to go on with any of the K4. I'm sure it would have been crazy :D

Lesson #1:

How to handle the camera

Hmmm, judging by how Eri holds the camera, I suggest they start her off with the cheapest model :P

Here she is adjusting the strap around her neck. But somehow it makes me think that this is how she would look removing her top. XD

Lesson #2:

Creating the illusion of shapes in the model's eyes

I was really fascinated by this since I always wanted to know how this effect was created. I don't know if Eri did it on purpose? But picking the '?' sign out of all those available made me crack up. Even captain couldn't resist tsukkomi-ing her, lol.

Here they are observing the end product. I even find the way she bites her nails cute. It's really obvious I think Eri is pretty huh?

Lesson #3:

Taking moving shots

I must be crazy. Because to me, the back of her head looks adorable as well ^^;

Another cute pose. Why is she so good at making kawaii poses? It's not fair!! XD And it definitely breaks the rules. Cuz it makes me fall in love with the turtle even more *blushes*

Are? Why is she going all squirmy and embarrassed? The reason is, she couldn't take a good shot even after trying numerous times. Aho Kame is at her best again :D

Oooh, nice legs.

Ehhh?

EHHH?

EHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!?

Don't spread your legs like that Eri! It gives people bad, bad images XD

Next Week!

The girls try taking big-head shots of real puppies :)

And they get to be the model too. A blur looking Eri?

Closer shot. How can the sensei concentrate on taking that picture? If it were me, I get that camera out of the way and lean in :P What?! Don't tell me you don't wanna know what it feels like to kiss XD
