Latest GETS!

I'm kinda late updating this list so there is a slight back log of things that came to me.
I have actually cut down on buying stuff recently as I'm trying not to blow all the cash I get ... but there's always so much cool merchandise coming out, it's an expensive job being a Wota.

First up is some presents that Lolli got me when she went over to Japan to see the Cinderella musical ...





A big ass Berryz Kobo anniversary poster picture, the photo is taken from the VERY BEAUTY photo shoot which I find quite lovely, I just need to figure out a place I cant put it.



Two photos of my most favorite girls in h!p, wearing their bowling outfits.



A C-ute photo set!!! I don't own that many sets of photos so this is really cool, also these photos have a cool metallic shine effect.



Maimi looks very dominant and sexy indeed, she's also quite good at doing doodles.



An awesome Berryz Kobo photo set, all the girls have awesome hair styles ...



Maasa has the sweetest lips, and Risako has such a cute puppy dog pose.



At first I thought these were a box of Japanese tissues ... but upon further inspection it turns out its a Japanese 'tickler' condom ... YAY!? ... so far I've resisted from taking it out the packaging and blowing it up over my head (for now).



Also Lolli got me this as a birthday gift! I'm totally in love with it, Eri's 'photograph collection' every page is filled with delicious Eri win.



The photobook is contained within a nice thick cardboard case.



The side of the photobook has a cool little doodle of a turtle which I think is pretty cute.




Quite predictably every page is filled with yummy Eri photos, there's also a great juicy amount of Bikini pics, BIKINI FTW!!!
A massive thanks to Lolli for the gifts!! love them!.



Next up is even more gifts! Paul from Hello! blog kindly sent me some Japanese magazines from the Japan centre in London.
Friday magazine is actually pretty cool considering I have a burning hatred for the magazine (because of the h!p scandals it publishes) but most of the pages are filled with great photos of yummy Japanese girls ...



I think this girls name is Suzanne, I'm not sure ... but I am sure that she is incredibly hot.



There are also a few pages dedicated to Tanaka Reina's latest photobook 'very reina'



Flicking deeper into the magazine you start seeing more girls and less clothing ...



In the center of the magazine there is a special sealed section that contains full frontal nudity, I've censored the picture as you can tell ... if anyone wants the original let me know ...



But the magazine isn't all about naked girls .. well most of it is .. but there's even a feature on the current president elect Barack Obama.



Kindai magazine is alot more focused on idols that have clothes on, with a great chunk of pages dedicated to h!p idols.



Even a full page spread dedicated to super idol in the making Mano erina



And a feature on Milkyways latest single, its really great to see these photos all glossy and full colour.



Its not just hello! project featured either, theres a couple of pages dedicated to AKB48



Yummy, a big thanks to paul! I'll repay the favor soon!



Next up I picked up the 5th album (special edition) from Berryz Kobo, I was gonna do a full review of this album but I cant really be bothered and I suck at writing about music, I'm in total love with all the tracks on it though, the most stand out tracks for me are 'Ah Merry-Go-Round' and 'Happy! Stand Up'.
It's an album I can quite happily stick on and listen to it from start to finish, awesome stuffs.



It was recently Maasa's 16th birthday so I thought it would be cool to pick up her special birthday t-shirt, also with the t-shirt I got a wrist band and 2 photos of her wearing it but I forgot to take photos of them, I have yet to wear it yet though, maybe on a special occasion?




These photos are a little bigger than the usual size, I love the younger pic of Maasa with her little guitar.



Random Maasa photos



More random photos ...



I'm in love with this photo, chu!



These Risako photos have a cool metallic shine to them



hmmmm....



Risako in uniform ... DO WANT



I think that this might be the cutest photo of Risako in existence ... anyone care to prove me wrong?



When Maasa got a new hair style she did these awesome photos showing it off, I had to get them.



Pure pure WIN.



End of transmission.

HANGRY & ANGRY - EPIC FAIL

After listening to this single numerous times I've come to the conclusion its just a bland medicore type song, its got a fairly catchy chorus yet little chance of it being a favorite on my playlist (at all).
And after watching the video once I've decided this is the worst video I have cast my eyes upon in a long time ... seriously ... its very hard to disappoint me, how can a video with two good looking Japanese girls and a punky loli style go wrong?
well first off the most noticable thing is how cheap and tacky the video looks, we see a mix of the most horrible colours and props, I find parts of this video painfully embarrasing, Yossie constantly growls and gurns throughout the video which looks ridiculous and very forced, while Rika on the other hand tries to look cute and innocent ... which fails to work because it looks forced and fake (pretty much sums up my sentiments about everything in this video).
Another thing that really bothers me about this video is the fake guitar playing, Yossie and Rika are jumping around banging their guitars like they are actually playing .. I'm not a musician at all but is it really necessary to have 4 guitar players? I dont bloody think so.
And one last thing that bugs me about this video the pseudo lesbian shenanigans, while there is nothing particulary wrong with this (Berryz and Morning Musume do this at times) I fail to see any type of sexual chemistry between Yossie and Rika, a long time ago I did think that Rika was quite attractive yet I just think shes too whorey and fake.
Considering this will have an official US release I really hope this wont put non-wotas off delving deeper into the world of Japanese idols, yet Hangry & Angry are not doing themselves any favors.

C-ute - Forever Love (preview)

C-ute's 7th single seems to be shaping up quite nicely, when I originally heard that the title was called 'Forever Love' I had visions of it being some dire ballad, dont get me wrong ... some ballads can be done well, but when I hear stuff like Morning Musume's 'Aruiteru' it makes me want to self immolate.
The beginning of this track reminds alot of Berryz Kobo's 'happy stand up' but thats not a bad thing at all, I'm also quite fond of the 'my darling' and 'I love you' parts, at the moment theres no promotional photos or anything hinting about the outfits they have ... I just hope that Maimi's outfit shows off her killer legs.



Also while on the subject of C-ute singles ... for those that were a fan of 'Edo no Temari Uta II' ... why dont you check out by itsuki hiroshi's version 'Edo no Temari Uta I'
Its not that bad to be honest ... I find his voice kind of appealing in some strange way ...





Also while listening to this song it reminded me of the music that played on the Mystical ninja game for the Nintendo 64, 'I AM IMPACT' ... its a quality tune, and the game was awesome.
