I can't say I am the biggest fan of techno, but I if I like it I will always say that I like it. Do I like this PV? I like it. The saxophone in the song was a nice touch. It is fun but I don't love it. That doesn't mean it isn't good, it is a matter of preference I believe. Expand+ )

But that wasn't all, they surprised fans by letting some of their hardworking staff join in on the act too. Expand+ )

I discovered this project quite by accident while browsing youtube one day. Being an idol fan, of course I was aware that their name was derived from Japan's AKB48. I made a promise to myself when I started my idol blog that I would be fair and give other groups the same attention.

I do not dance and cannot express enough that I do not specialize on dance at all, so I do not think I am a reliable person enough to critique that in detail. Someday, I might be able to convince my friend who is a dancer to do that. But for now I will stick with what I know and I do know a few things about singing, acting and mass media because understanding Mass media is actually a big part of what I do in the university.

☆ ENTRY 001: Speculated MM 12th Gen Auditionees

There has been an excited buzz among Morning Musume fans. For months, fans waited patiently for the announcement of the 10 Finalists.

These are girls from Hiroshima Actors School's Little DIVA. There has been some speculation that they are auditioning for the 12th Generation of Morning Musume. As a group, they really blow me away. They blend very well and despite their young ages, I can feel a lot of stage presence, especially from Mizuki Nakamoto. If girls with this much talent are auditioning, then the competition is probably very tough.

This school has really great singers. Expand+ )
