Umeda Erika graduates from H!P

yeah, sorry again..it has been a long time since my last post here...hehe....but this news totally shocked me tho i'm not one of her die hard fan

http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?act=helloonline&CODE=article&topic=898

She will graduate from H!P on the last day of this tour, 25th October. Actually, i hate to say this but yeah, she made a good decision....her voice is great, not to mention her beauty....unfortunately, some of ℃-ute's singles "used" her as a backup vocal/dancer only, IMO...Let's be honest, most people (myself included) only really can identify one or two members in C-ute....i did not expect this to come up..I wish her the best in life and i'm sure she will do fine



errrrr................who's gonna sing Do don ga don!!?

Finally, the bigger ver released. I always love this kind of cover! Comparing this to their previous albums this is definitely the most mature looking and for me this is the best design. And Airi is the winner!!!!! Her untied hair freaking awesome! She looks completely different than usual!. Anyway, hope this album is awesome as the cover....can't wait for it.

Interesting PV, nice background, nice outfit, sweet smiles. For casual dance ver, nothing much interesting except some white "drumstick"...lol...they dance with such an interesting smile, look like it's one of the most difficult step to follow(don't get me wrong ok...i don't like dancing..lol) but it did look cool. And again, i'm stuck with Mai Mai...urgh...and the making of this PV was fun, watch it by yourself.

ºC-ute's "Yorosen" Controversy

On December 4th, an episode of "Yorosen" featuring ºC-ute aired that is causing a bit of trouble. The show featured a discussion of Adolf Hitler which was reportedly done in an insensitive manner. This has caused TV Tokyo and production company SSM to apologize for airing it.

On the 8th of this month, the homepages of TV Tokyo and production company SSM posted an apology message regarding TV Tokyo's late-night show "Yorosen!", which aired on the 4th of this month. In this episode, Adolf Hitler, the leader of nazi-era Germany, was treated as a "great person".

This show is being hosted by Hello!Project talents. In the special corner "The world's great people!", Hitler was casually called "Uncle Hitler" by ºC-ute's members, who were also imitating him and drawing his pictures.

Regarding this, TV Tokyo posted an apology, saying the show contained "Improper contents based on an insufficient knowledge of history". SSM also apologized with a statement, stating "The check system inside our company was lacking" and a promise to be more careful in preventing a similar incident from happening again in the future.

If you'd like to see the episode for yourself, you can download it from h!o tracker via these links:

Their manager must be more careful next time in preventing a similar incident from happening again in the future. Wonder why they choose Adolf Hitler...it's a very sensitive incident liao.

urgh, i'm late. This is the newest single from ℃-ute, and yeah, this single is awesome. Seventeens VOW is good too. Both song have great melodies, currently i'm stuck with Hagiwara Mai's voice...hey, she's great and beautiful. Don't get me wrong, she's already a "WOMAN" right? On that cover, Mai Mai is the most handsome "guy".....lol
