Oh, well hello there, Hello! Project. It’s been quite a while, huh? Honestly, nothing much has been stirring up in the H!P universe; I mean, unless you stalk the members and know every single project they do, there hasn’t been much going on. However, C-ute’s and S/mileage’s profile pictures have been updated. Let’s take a look, shall we?

My 2012 Hello! Project Ranking
Remember when Hello! Blog used to do those annual Hello! Project rankings? Well, the blog admin there, Paul, hasn’t done one of those in 2 years. So last year, I took it upon myself to make one in the summer, before Ai Takahashi had left but without including her in the ranking.
C-ute’s Aitai Aitai Aitai na Promotional Photos Released
Finally, the solo photos of C-ute’s upcoming single, Aitai Aitai Aitai na, have been released. Unfortunately, there’s so much white included, I think I’m blinded.
Cat’s Fail Plus Some Tears
Two PVs have recently been released. One is Hello! Pro and the other is of AKB48. Each interest me equally.
And I DON’T want to see you, C-ute.
I love how the exact day after I decide to write a whole post of PVs, C-ute decides to release their new PV -___- Thanks, C-ute. I’ll probably be continuing doing the “half here, half there” posts. I like being able to put a longer opinion and straight-up news in different posts. Anyway, time for the almighty news post~
Whoaa…wait…who!?
As I was heading back to Hello! Online to copy and paste the two new Hello! Project units’ names that have just recently been announced, something completely unbelievable caught my eye.
Erina Mano will graduate from Hello! Project on February 23rd, 2013.
Damn you, idiots.
Unfortunately, WordPress decided not to save an almost finished draft of this post and verizon thought it’d be clever to muck up my Internet for what felt like weeks–which are the reasons why I haven’t posted about our Hello! Project chicas in a while. Well, reluctantly, I fought the urge to shoot an innocent passerby and got off my ass and retyped the shit. Damn you, idiots. Damn you.
Quality Over Quantity
It’s been a while since I last posted an update on our chicas in Hello! Project. All of the groups have been very active and there are plenty of upcoming releases. Ready? Let’s go!
2011: What Happened and What Didn’t
So, you remember when I did my Hopes, Predictions, and Fears list I posted in the beginning of last year? Well, it’s time to go back to it and see what did and didn’t happen! Let’s start, shall we?
Top 10 Favorite J-pop Songs of 2011
I do have to say, 2011 wasn’t really the year for J-pop music(but then again, I listen to mainly H!P :x ). I can’t say that I was really blown away by several J-pop releases. I almost had to revert to choosing songs that were just half decent! However, there were a few singles/albums that did keep me hooked and listening. To celebrate the end of the year, I’ve decided to create this little wrap-up for the year 2011(and yes, I do plan to do this every year). So, without further ado, here is my top 10 favorite J-pop songs of 2011!
