Yume no Kawa

Hello everybody, Today I finally have another H!P related post for you guys. Please do understand that this is how I feel and it's not based on facts or anything! It's my opinion so please respect it. I like new groups, NO I love new groups. New groups are fresh, interesting and nice to follow.  I love seeing them grow into their groups and I love seeing group dynamics being born. I like seeing them look kinda awkward during their first preformances. I adore waiting for their group colors.  I jump at new groups and I follow them as much as I can. Country Girls was no diffrent.  Okay, so let's talk about Country Girls and my current feelings about them, When Country Girls was just formed, I was totally in love with the group. I loved the members and their dynamics.  I loved the kinda old school feel they had and their cuteness. I loved the 6 of them as a group. Their first single was amazing. The music was catchy and fresh. T...

My blog isn't even a year old, so my last post about this event was on my other blog. It has been a year. I can't believe it has been a year. One year ago a plane crashed in Ukraine. They say it was hit by a missile. 298 people lost their lives that day. There were 193 dutch people in that plane, about 10 of them lived in a radius of 15 km from me.  I lost no one. Non of the people on the plane was someone I actually knew well. But I know people who did have people they love on this plane and through them I felt a loss. It has been a year and what a year it has been. I live near Hilversum. This is where those people where brought. This is where they got their identity back, so they could return to their family and friends.  Every week I drive past the Korporaal van Oudheusdenkazerne and I see the flowers and other tributes to the people who should have been going on vacation. It has been a year, a year of tragady. The crash has been on tv this ...

It might be only for this single, it might be an actual change. But whatever it is, I wanna talk to you guys about it: Morning Musume's new single. I guess you guys already know what I am going to talk about, but let's say it anyway: Two of the new songs for their new single do not have Sayashi Riho as center. This is weird, this is new and this is great. (I LOVE RIHO, So don't even get started on that). For some time now we had a clear vocal and visual center in Morning Musume: Sayashi Riho has been in the center for quite some time now, she has the most to sing and always get to be in the dance group during the bridges. She has been pushed every since Only You. A lot of fans have been complaining, they don't find her fit for a center or they find the focus to much on her etc etc. As for me: I do wish other girls would be in the center sometimes, but I am already happy when they get solos lines (like Eripons Dare zo). Centers are always there. ...

Hello hello dear readers, Today not a post about Hello!Project or any of the other stuffies I usually talk about. No, today I wanna dedicate a post to someone I have been a big fan of for sometime. Okay maybe not silently (at least not at home, and I guess I talked about him sometime somewhere), but anyway it's about: Keith Lapinig. I have been following Keith for about 2,5 years now (had to actually look it up ;)) and all that time I have been a huge fan of him. Keith is someone who is honest, funny, smart and creative. I have seen him do so many diffrent things in his video's, it's really amazing. I like how he sometimes is a bit awkward, but still kinda out going.  Through his video's I have been to Disneyland, Disney world, Japan and on a Disney Cruise. But the real reason I adore Keith is: He showed me how to be a better person and that I can chase my dreams. He has been working really hard to make his dream come true and it inspired me to do it myself...

Wait why am I talking already about the 4th gen when 3rd gen isn't even in ANGERME for a year? Well dear reader: It has been leaked that there are plans for a 4th generation!  This week it was accidentally announced that Natsuyaki Miyabi will be starting her own group. Ofcourse she kinda already said this during Green Room, but the site was launched by accident.  On the site was a weird part where it was talking about ANGERME's 4th gen auditions and not auditions for Miyabi's group. This kinda set of a whole speculation this was happening. It was also found out that the url for ANGERME auditions was claimed by someone from upfront.  The same thing happend a few days before it was announced that Uta-chan left. There was a post about Uta and it was removed soon after. It was ofcourse the announcement that she left, but it was post 2 days early! This kinda makes it clear that mistakes might actually be true. Back to ANGERME. Due to all this the speculati...

10 members of Morning Musume are currently preforming in a musical called Triangle. The musical ofcourse has a lot of songs and I wanted to talk about one of them with you today. Rosewood no Kokuhaku This song has given me life. I can't explain to you how this song makes me feel.  First of all, Sakura has the lead in this song as Rosewood. Her voice fits the song so good and she shows of her skills so amazing. BUT Ayumi is also singing. She is Princess Sakura (yes yes, it's kinda weird) and I have never known how amazing this girl can sing. When she started singing my jaw dropped. I know Sakura has an amazing voice and I like Ayumin's voice, but this was something else. Ayumi sounds so clear, fresh and honest. For me this song is really something. I have had it on repeat for three full days I think? I can enjoy every little thing Sakura does with her voice, the emotion she putts in it. While Ayumi's part is refreshing. I really love the higher parts and t...

Kobushi Factory was only announced a few months ago and they only released one indies single, BUT they announced their debut the be this fall!  If we look at it right: Juice=Juice debutted earlier, but they released 3 indies singles. So it's not that soon and just like Juice=Juice they have two songs (Ten Made Nobore is ofcourse a song with Kenshuusei) and they will release a triple a-side as their debut. I have to say I am really happy for them. A lot of these girls have been working quite some years and I think they are a very strong group (eventhough Tsubaki grabbed my heart).  This group is very cool and something H!P doesn't have. With their amazing first indies single, a debut couldn't be far away. When the single came available on E-lineup! it was sold out within moments. I even asked someone to get the single for me at their event (thanks Alita!).  Their debut is soon, but I think they are ready and they already have quite a fanbase. But with al...
