I haven't been watching them. Are they entertaining?

It was ok. I just wish it had more backstage stuff, that's always my favorite part.
Since Up-Front is too cheap for proper variety, might as well give me a show about rehearsals and backstage footage.

>>11277938
To be honest, not really. Like >>11277943 said, it would've been better to show more backstage interactions since those are always the best part. This week had one for the summer h!p concert.

Anyway I think Katsuta did a good job on mc duty. She's been showing herself to be a good talker recently. Always good to have a level-headed person in the group.

Riho's husky voice made me want to cover her in a blanket and protect her.

Akari did ok for her song, which is helped by the sound crew finally doing a good job with the backing track levels.

>>11277968
Also, Sato does her best to break AT fields.

>>11277943
>>11277968
Should I just delete the torrents I have downloading of the show?

>>11278005
Why don't you just jump to the interesting parts in youtube instead?

>>11277888

I agree about the backstage footage, I enjoyed it lots.
>that Mai and Captain holding hands
>that I could just kill you attitude Risako showed to Masaki

p.s. thanks OP

>>11277968
I found myself losing interest as she spoke, probably because she kept breaking eye contact. Although I'll say it's because she's easing into being on camera to speak. More than likely these segments are just too long, but I think some people have figured out to just cherry pick.

>>11278008
I have to download things to appease my autism.

>>11278010
At least she wasn't as nervous as Maasa was the first time round, that one was awkward. I'll just say it's good training to do.

>>11278019
So what event was she at this time round?

>>11278025
That's still the Chinajoy event. Just got these from Hujiang's website. Chinese people need to upload better pictures. There's no reason for such low resolution pictures.

>>11278031
Also I found this picture that I've never seen before. Which is pretty amazing.

>>11278053
That pose looks like it would hurt.

>>11278076
I'm worried about your health if you think standing with your hand on your hip, your arm in the air, and leaning slightly to one side would hurt.

Last thread got a little dramatic huh?

>>11278177
Don't mention it.
>that Kanon belly button
This could be the start of something new!

>tfw you never will be apart of a H!P summer montage...

>>11278206
>No one will ever buy books of pictures of you dressed in cute clothing

>>11278728
i forgot my picture

i get the feeling she wishes she could do stuff like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4isW648rns - instead of the idol stuff she's doing atm.

>>11278728
>>11278731
Would love to see Riho doing this kind of music.
Add to this her badass dancing and bam! - Riho "Bitch" Sayashi on top of the charts.

>Thread topic: What did you think of this week's Hello! Station?
I enjoyed Risako's reaction when Maachan put the cap in her head.

How would you react if an Idol started to question you about your sex-life?
>mfw

>>11277982
I love how she seems to be friendly with most of her seniors. I wonder if her parents were super liberal or something, because she doesn't seem to care about the whole seniority thing that much.

>>11278808

>>11278951
>In September 2011, it was widely reported that her boyfriend was arrested in relation to attempted extortion to bilk a portion of his own debt by saying that he had close affiliations with the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza crime syndicate.[24] Her boyfriend, 44, allegedly told the victim that he was "in friendly affiliation with the Kodo-kai", and police reported that her boyfriend actually had a close relationship with the boss of the Komatsu-gumi (an affiliate of the Kodo-kai).[25][25][26][27] Kago has been taken in for questioning as well.[28] On September 11, 2011, Kago was rushed to a nearby hospital after agency officials found her on the floor of her apartment with cuts to her wrists. It is believed to have been a suicide attempt. Her life was reported to be not in danger.[29]

I didn't want to post it but... this is the end for Risako...

It's just too much for me...

>>11279031
I bet her hands are ice cold and clammy.

>>11279032

Reina... I want to... AWOoAoWWO All night baby

>>11278988
So she was kicked out because she did drugs and then had a child with a criminal who could be her father and then tried to kill herself.
I hope that doesn't happen to Michishige.

>>11279212
she was long gone before any of that happened.

>>11279212
She was placed under house arrest and temporarily suspended for smoking and having a relationship with some psychotic showbiz guy who carried her into his apartment in a cardboard box. The she was caught a second time and that was it.

At least that's how I remember it. The order of things might be wrong.

>>11279181
>>11279202

>>11279031
>>11279032
Has she been perpetually depressed for like 5 years?

>>11279268
I would love to see D.O. Duu with some five o' clock shadow, or maybe a nice mustach.

Would you same faggots stop talking about Kago,
no one gives a fuck about her and she is a dirty whore

Why does she do this? She's actually good looking if she wasn't so disgustingly fat.

>>11279322
it's the "white chick" in her.

How can this be the same girl?!?

I don't understand it either.

I mean her popularity has plummeted among fans (she used to be Berryz's ace!) but she doesn't seem to give a fuck anyway

>>11279330
Risako's nose is a miracle of the universe.

>>11279330
A person's soul is reflected in her face according to Oscar Wilde.

>>11279334
does she use it to sniff for truffles?

Noses are unappreciated. Also which Touhou is she cosplaying as?

It's always somehow strange to think that Sayumi is the only one who is older than me from H!Ps.

Even stranger is that no H!P ever was born on the same year as me.

Monkeys don't post on /jp/.

>>11279581

Ditto, but I still don't think it's too late.

Also:
>That is the case with Hello! Project. It’s like when a tiger pushes it’s young off a cliff. It’s about how they push back. There are some who push back and some who falter. It’s the ones who are more flexible when pushing back that have more potential. The more stubborn ones are in danger. It’s also a good thing if they can find a good boyfriend and get in a good marriage. However, if they plan on staying and competing in the entertainment business, the ones who are stiff have a hard time. That being said, Rika Ishikawa has the attitude of, “I don’t know or care about hair styles. What kind of clothes should I wear?” This type of girl can usually survive. The stubborn types get put into a box, and it’s very difficult. Okai of ℃-ute and Saki Nakjima are flexible. When there are two flexible members in a group, it makes things very fun.

>all that talk of flexibility

>tfw Miyabi will graduate in you're lifetime.

>>11279705
Shucks, thought they were in the same paragraph.

>Chisato Okai, and Michishige Yayumi of Morning Musume aren’t bad. Haruna Iikubo as well. Also, Miyabe Natsuyaki of Berryz Kobo might be able to if she can get the hang of it.

>>11279705
I seriously do not understand what the hell Terada is talking about.

Maybe he's talking out of his ass, but if I were to say, Ishikawa Rika's post-H!P career definitely isn't doing very well. I guess maybe he wanted to say Yaguchi but censored himself for what we know

>What do you do normally? You will see a difference between those who understand that the scheduled rehearsal time is not the only time to rehearse and those who do not understand that.

So who are the diligent that rehearse on their off-time? Who are the slackers, jaypee?

>>11279810
by referring to him using his pseudonym you are fanning his ego further. refer to him using his real name.

>>11279881
It should be easy to guess based on who is shit at things and who is decent at them. Can Jaypee think of anyone like that?

>>11279881

I probably should have read the whole thing before I just started taking out snippits for discussion.

>>11279764
What's to scream about if it doesn't seem like it has made a difference? So he's saying that idol fans have become mainstream, but have they taken any actions to try and appeal to a wider audience?

I have seen it on here people saying that they aren't trying to market to a broader audience and that they focus more on the same ol' saps (no offense to anyone). I haven't looked at the figures but it sure seems like people here have.
How casual has H!P gotten, do they appeal to the youth?

>>11279898
Let's try to think of others that aren't as obvious, before we jump into another shitfest, shall we?

>>11279897
By referring to him using his real name in the derogatory manner 2ch wota came up with you are fanning your own ego with a false sense of superiority. Refer to him by his pseudonym like just about every other damn fan, in Japan or in the West.

>>11280010
you have fallen into 寺田 光男 trap.

Well I know the weak ones must be practicing very hard or else they wouldn't be able to keep up with the dances. Sayashi on the other hand is a genius so she probably doesn't even need to practice at home.

Maybe he's referring to some (or all) of the Berryz members, who you can tell pretty clearly don't give a shit and have autopilot on most of the time.

>>11280016
It's a shame seeing as they have some interesting characters.

>>11280016
I have to agree, and this seems to happen with the singing too.
I was listening to a H!P medley from the winter concert. While everyone else sounded okay for how average/terrible most of them are, Berryz (with the exception of Miyabi and Captain) were just shouting into the mic, some of those shrieks were cringeworthy.

>>11280079
Do you think Bear cares about Bearryz Koubou?

>>11280139

Of course she does, lots! You could say she's a Care Bear!

>>11280016

Is there hope for them to snap back or is it too late, you could have prevented this sort of thing?

>>11280171
Pretty sure you can stick a fork in them at this point, m8.

>tfw China says to pack it in.

Has she ascended to a Jiangshi? Or maybe she has been one for some time!?

>>11280242
that's right girl get your gob round that.

They are girls, japanese girls at that, so they are not competitive in the first place.

Now C-ute's sudden boom could have fired them up, but the only thing it happened was Captain crying a bit about the Budokan concert and them getting one out of pity.

Berryz are and will always be my favorites, but I've already assumed it's just a smooth glide from now on until the inevitable crash.

>>11280242
Berryz is my favorite group, but even I know that they're a little past idol expiration date. I'm putting my monies on the Juice group now.

EriPandas grad one. Also the one with Ai, Risa and Riho Moonlight Night dance solo. And the Otomegumi first live. They really rocked it out during the Oi Oi song.

Is there any word when Sayumi will leave MM?

>>11281627
It's "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO".

>>11281627
No, but she mentioned she wanted to be in MM for at least one more year, so be around the same time Reina graduated next year.

>>11281691
She already looks out of place with the young generations though. Cant imagine how awkward it will look with the 12th gen too.

>>11281747
Speaking of 12th, how long until they should be chosen and revealed?

>>11281762
No idea.

>>11281747
I think she is probably bored to death that she has no 1 to have a conversation with.

>>11281858
She has Haruna. They get along well together. Of course it's still lonely without anyone her age but it should alleviate some of that loneliness.

Fuck you all

I'm always going on and on about Masaking, but this actually made me feel a bit bad for Sayashi. Being labelled as the ace, she's the one everyone is competing against, and management not giving her the best parts by default any more must feel like a slap in the face. I really don't like how competitive they're becoming. I guess it was inevitable, but still.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfWUwctAEb4

>>11282158
It's unambiguously for the better if her false sense of superiority gets slapped out of her.

>>11282240
I agree she has become conceited. But imagine yourself being lauded as the best thing since sliced bread and then having all that taken away from you. She's just a kid after all.

It's a growing experience.

>>11282240
Hahah where does this come from? You honestly think just because Sato got some lines she's suddenly center of the group?

Everyone still knows this is the Sayashi Era and that's not gonna change anytime soon.

>>11282466
Oh, it's you. Did you even watch the video?

>>11282466
Riho will probably be the face of the group for as long as she's in it. She has the looks and the talent (for dancing and acting lewdly).

For a while it seemed like MM was going to be the Sayashi Riho show, but instead of putting all their eggs in one basket, they're spacing the lines and centre positions out more evenly.

In the video, they're talking about the fact that Reina's spot is now up for grabs, and how her lines have been divided between Mizuki, Sato and Oda.

Sayashi seems really disheartened by the fact that Oda is moving up so quickly in the ranks, and actually kind of says this right out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goCf3WlfQzU#31m16s
Highlight of the new UF Licks episode: Karin and Masa talk for a bit and then sing a boring song

>>11282494
Sorry for rambling on...

The reason I keep focusing on Sato, besides the fact that I'm a die-hard fan, is that she is super ambitious at the moment, and sees Oda and Riho as her competition.

>>11282494
But you are mistaken if you think having solo lines in the songs has ANYTHING to do with being the center or the ace of the group.

The visual center is still Sayashi. The dance center is still Sayashi. The most popular one among fans is still Sayashi.

Of course they're gonna give more lines to other girls now they are releasing double A-sides every time. Although if it was for me Oda would be the one singing 99% of the songs.

>>11282611
Sorry if I was unclear, but that was exactly what I was saying. Riho will be the ace for the duration. Centers, however, shifts from song to song, and in this respect she is having to share the spotlight now. The fact that this bothers her is blindingly obvious.

>>11281974
you're keen. present yourself and i shall begin.

Some sort of fancy hotel.

>>11282911

You'd have to ask her manager Peggy or inquire at chun_job@126.com.

also is there a newcastle united dance version of わがまま 気のまま 愛のジョーク up?

Surprisingly short nails for a young female homo sapiens.

>>11283179
Yeah, they were really fun. I wish they'd do more of that talk and interaction stuff and mix the girls up instead of rehashing the generic 'let's have each idol/group do the exact same uninteresting thing one after the other".

You didn't like the dollar store DVD mag?

Oh yeah, I think I had repressed my memory of that one.

>>11283394
Totem was utter shit when I last tried and mplayer couldn't handle mkv linking.

>>11283402
totem is the absolute last resort. it's only used when i've gotten something from korean or jap scenes and the audio is not aligned on the interleaves etc. the korean scene have clocked on that certain features don't belong inside certain containers but the japs are still lagging behind on this.

>mplayer couldn't handle mkv linking
was ist das? my use of mkv is pretty much single tv episodes and music videos i don't watch many movies or anime.

:3

>>11283435
It's used in handling OP/ED sequences that are identical in every episode. Some guys added support for it and released a fork named mplayer2 because the mplayer devs were lazy as fuck. And by the way, smplayer is just a graphical interface for mplayer so I don't see why you'd bitch about using it.

Reina is what got me into MM and H!P in the first place. But don't forget -- if it weren't for Masaking, we probably would never have seen the side of Reina that we got to see at the end.

Rejoice, Ikutafags. You have finally been surpassed in being insufferable cunts by the Satofags. You are no longer the bottom of the barrel.

>>11283704
Hey, Riho-fan. How's it going?

>>11283704
You're always at the worse end of the barrel though. And I'm going to pull the trigger soon.

>>11283704
Also, I think I'm the only one who's been spamming Maachan lately.

>>11283508
Do you think Miya would cry if you made fun of her face to her face?

Guys, I want to tell you something, though it should be obvious. You shouldn't react to the 'I hate everything' guy. He's obviously not out for conversation. Doesn't even matter what his preferences are or if he's trying to shift the threads in some or other directions. Just stop giving him attention please.

>>11283709
Why do fans of other idols hate Riho so much?

>>11283727
You' right. I'm just looking to argue sometimes, but I guess it's not right to shit up the thread.

>>11283728
I love Riho. It's just Riho-fans that are intolerable.

>>11283727
It's funny that you think it's one person.
>>11283740
They're no different than any other idol fan base.

>>11283746
Not him, but I'm in this thread often enough to tell some of the shitposters apart and there's been one guy lately who's been shitting all over the place.

>They're no different than any other idol fan base.
They are very much so. I get along fine with fans of any other idol.

>>11283761
Maybe you think that your favorite idol should have Riho's position in the group.

>>11283728
I like Riho so I can't speak about her, but I personally have this thing. There some nice idols who have incredibly shitty fans. Fans so bad I can't even comprehend it. And even though the idol is fun, I find myself hating the fanbase so much I can't but hope the worst to happen to the idol just to make the fans feel bad.

I know I shouldn't associate the idols with their fans and it's an awful way of thinking also in other respects, but I still find myself doing it. Anyway, I realize it's not cool towards the idols and try to deal with myself to become a better person, but I guess that's one reason for hating Riho. She's a prominent musume and her fans aren't afraid to be loud about it, which in turn annoys the other fans, who then might turn against her. It's kind of retarded but humans often work that way.

>>11283767
Not really. As I've said I love Riho. She's got talent in a certain way, and she is gosh darned beautiful. She's also matured into the job much quicker than any of the other 9ki or 10ki.

The thing I dislike about fans of hers is that they are so damned single minded. I would never be able to pick just one girl who is #1. I have several #1. Riho is interesting, sure. But the other girls are too.

>>11283768
>>11283790
This is what happens when you deal with bottom of the barrel forum types. Why would you do this to yourselves? It's not like you gain anything by posting on one.

>>11283797
I guess I didn't realize how pathetic I was being. I'm going to go away now.

>>11283728
I don't like her because she gets the most attention.
This wouldn't be an issue if she wasn't bland and boring.

It's a shame that there can't be two or three centers. I guess Tsunku ultimately decided that only Riho was talented and pretty enough to be the sole center.

>>11283818
Oda's moving up though

>>11283818
As we talked about earlier, it seems that things are indeed shifting towards a Riho, Oda, Masaki center deal. Check the latest music videos.

>>11283837
... And this is not unusual. Reina and Ai-chan shared the spot for years.

>>11283837
>Masaki

>>11283797
I admit I sometimes go read shit on some places I'd be happier to not visit but that shit happens on also on /jp/.
Or maybe it's just me reading too much into comments such as the ones by the double standard anon who whines about MM being shit because they're not popular enough and in the same post declares Berryz to be the best thing ever.

>>11283818
I'm not quite sure about that, some of the others got quite a bit more prominent on this first post-Reina single and it's likely they're going to take it even slightly further at a later point. About the new single, I liked how they cut the low frequencies from Riho's lines, they sound much more natural that way. I often feel weirded out by her live singing where she's trying to sound like a 50 year old black soul singer while her natural voice is of a teenage Japanese girl.

>>11283850
If you spoke any moon, you'd know that that's the way things are shifting.

>>11283853
I wasn't disagreeing, and your right I don't understand moon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncjl8SjK32I

why not rotating centers? like it could be riho and oda and the ikuta and zukki and then so on.

>>11283872
Sorry. I though you were doing some ironic quote thing. It's so hard to tell sometimes. Especially in this hostile environment.

>>11283895
and then*

>>11283909
Maimi never looks bad

>>11283895
Are trying to make Maimi look bad again?

>>11283895
Because that's not been UFA's policy since Nacchi. I agree though.

Let's discuss KIDS

>>11283941
Didn't you get the memo? We're only allowed to discuss Ikuta and crew now.

>>11283947
Fuck off Ikutafag, we only discuss decent idols here.

>>11283972
If you don't think Ikuta is really helping pull in the fans your delusional. The past few singles prove it.

>>11283982
I know she pulled me in allright and I'm happy 'bout that.

>>11283991
She's has the best character in MM like what was shown on TV appearances. I expect the next few singles will skyrocket in sales if she goes on more TV shows. Meanwhile the Kids are just waiting to graduate at this point.

>>11283993
You're aggravating it bit but you're generally right.

>>11283996
She's like the next Kamei Eri. Probably even better.

>>11283941
I'm happy that c-ute's finally gotten some respectable sales. They've been averaging 40k since April last year and they deserve that budokan concert later this year.

Best kids group.

>>11284001
Not even my oshi but I really feel like she's going to blossom any minute now. She has an inner beauty begging to come out.

>>11283611
>felt like being hilarious

It's not even funny though. It's the same thing every neckbeard here says to sound "so kewl".

Is it just me or has the standard for new gens risen from 9th gen onwards compared to the older ones? Of course it's partly because they've had less senior members lately so they have to demand more from the new ones but I feel like the 5-8th gens were much less ripe when they first came in.

This just struck me and I've not thought it through or anything so I don't claim this to be the truth or anything but rather want to ask how does Jaypee feel

>>11284012
u serious?

>>11284105
No, of course he's not serious, it's an elaborate joke on you.

>legendary ayaya will never marry you

>>11284001
>>11284012
I know what you mean but I can't say I like when the new girls get called the new TsujiKago or the new GakiKame or the new whatever. I'd rather have her become The Ikuta and the other girls to be their own girls instead of faint reflections of some members past too.
The hate guy is likely to say 'yeah, because your shit idols can't compare to actual good idols', but I say it here so he doesn't have to

>>11284092
I don't think you could be any more wrong, holy shit.

>>11284169
>kidsfag being delusional in his hate

>>11284191
their not cute though

>>11283941

the only acceptable kids to talk about are c-ute.

>>11284169
Hey, wait, did you actually forget how shit the 5th and 6th gen were when they first joined? They were literally the most incompetent bunch to ever be added to any first division H!P group.

Can we look at pictures of Bear?

>>11284200
Or is she disallowed?

>>11284198

let's not forget traitor musume.

>>11284160
Excuse me, but we're talking about actual good idols like Ikuta.

>>11284218
She's so tall she scares me. She'd have to be really tender and calm in order to not freak me out.

>>11284275
Have you ever even touched a woman before, four-eyes?

>>11284275
She's like a normal Western girl in terms of height, so you'd have to be a manlet to be shorter than her.

>>11284290
No.

>>11284291
Normal western girls are around 170cm, not 180cm.

>>11284297
what about non-abo australians?

>>11284300
Where do you live and how tall are the "normal Western girls" there? I want to check this thing from statistics.
Oh wait, you can't tell because you're pulling this shit straight out of your ass in order to troll shorties like yourself.

I wish she would have played up her big stupid Bear character earlier. Would have gave her a point of interest besides being an amazon amongst oompa-loompas.

>>11284309
i'm 182cm the lasses round here are between 10cm-20cm shorter than me. there are a few who are slightly taller than me but that's down to footware and other factors.

i am south of newcastle but north of brighton.

>>11284330
I guess you're not the intended anon, but that's alright. Your estimate of the female height seems plausible for the western world and the Bear is definitely nearing you're tallness instead of being average height as one anon stated.

As a guy if Bear is taller than you or the same height, than your pretty short.

>>11284369
She went downhill pretty fast.

>>11284363
195cm master race reporting. Feels good.

Idols like to wear revealing shoes.

>>11284452
203cm here. How are the air currents down there, shorty?

>>11284452
can you fit in a vauxhall astra or ford fiesta? does it look natural or does it look like you've been bundled in by islamists?

>>11284478
is it safe for you to ride motorcycles or is the centre of gravity likely to kill you when you turn for a corner or suchlike?

>>11284478
Feels good lebron. How are the back-handed compliments up there?

>>11284467
Can we talk about idol feet please? Which idol's feet do you like?

>>11284493
No, gtfo.

Am I the only person who likes s/mileage? It's not often people talk about them.

>>11284494
:(

>>11284495
I really, really enjoyed their original lineup. The new one is actually pretty fine too, much better than I thought at one point, but there's usually not that much stuff to discuss, I guess. Kananan has been growing lately but I still far prefer Kanyon, Takechan, Ayacho and Meimei, in this order. Can't imagine what's going to happen when the first gens graduate, as they are still kind of the essence of S/mileage for me.

There's something about Kanon that makes me feel really funny all over. Is that normal, Jaypee?

Who will graduate first, Sayumi or Berryz?

>>11284557
same time.

>>11284557
If Sayu does, Berryz can't.
Hoping for Berryz in any case. I don't want it all to end yet.

>>11284528
Even as someone who was recently converted by idolfags, I can see that the older members made the group.
Takechan really is my favorite though.
I have high hopes for them. I could honestly see her taking a lead role, maybe Meimei too if she works on her dancing and timing. She actually has pretty nice control of her voice.

>>11284538
I don't know how to word it, but she's very unique and not in a bad way. I think you're in the green.

>>11284588
Meimi has a solid control of her voice, better than most of her seniors in current h!p. That's because she has the drive and is committed to prove her and her group's worth. I still can't get over the Gatamekira performance in the winter hello-con, everyone on that stage was desperate to out-sing each other.

>>11284495
Yuukarin...

Am I the only one who finds Sakura kind of ugly? I can't put my finger on it. She's a great singer and all, but she surely doesn't look great. I wonder if she'll pull a Niigaki.

>>11284657
Do you think she's happy?

>>11284644
I think she's just too shy and thinks she's below her peers.
In a way it could be a good thing because it means she won't get too high and mighty, but it really is having adverse effects on her dancing and timing... I say that because of the time she broke down because of those skills. I'm not 100% sure she has gotten over it.

>>11284659
The nips seem to think she's ugly too. I personally find her cute though. Just wait it out man, I'm saying this for zukki as well.

>>11284661
I hope she is, because from what I remember during the last months of 2011 she looked really distant

>>11284661
Do you think she's having sex? It's quite sad to think she likely is, but I'd give anything to be the other part of it anyway.

>>11284666
I don't get that impression at all. Then again I don't follow her much outside of hello cons, h!p magazines and various official youtube vids. She seems to be the confident type to me from what I've seen of her.

>>11284661
Not that anon, but nope. She made a huge decision and judging from what the producers said, she could have been fine doing her schoolwork and being an idol.
This is one of those things that leaves you thinking "I could have been X if I didn't leave.".
I'm not really wishing despair upon her, but I do think she should have fought a little harder.

>>11284659
Nah, I think so too, though they definitely can make her look really cute if they want to. For me she's much more promising than Niigaki, whom I like, but who is still kind of awkward lookswise from time to time. I really hated it when she pulled that short hair thing that doesn't fit with her face at all. Well, I'm happy as long as Ikuta is happy, I guess.

>>11284683
That's true, and it's probably one of those things you need to inevitably accept once your oshi graduates...

>>11284700
That JunJun fag says she doesn't know anything about sex.

>>11284697
Definitely she could have, especially with all the other H!Ps who are studying and being idols...

>>11284699
I know what you mean. I think Risa looks best with her hair as pictured. Not too short, not too long. It suits her well.

>>11284724
What sort of things does she do with those lips?

>>11284691
Oh wait, that's my new showing. That was a different idol. I still feel she needs to work on dancing and timing though. She really is ready to go with her vocal range.

>>11284724
mhmm

>>11284731
Did you think I was referring to Yajima? It's okay we all make mistakes.

Have some low-res Ayu-pits.

>>11284749
Ikuta doing the heavy metal gesture again. I want to make her listen to some real metal and then try that again. And enjoy watching her reactions in the process.

>>11284764
I would like to see that.

>>11284749
Nice Lum shirt.

>>11284659
>>11284699
>>11284724
She was my oshi, but goddamn Gaki had some of the worst choices when it came to haircuts. I always assumed she went with some because there was always drama when two of the girls shared similar haircuts, but then she had another poor choice for her graduation...

As for Oda, I'm positive she'll bloom, the girl already manages some interesting poses. It's just a matter of time until she discover what makes her look better.
But the one member who looks like she's about to morph into a grown-up beauty is definitely Duu.

>>11284659
she's fine in her current form.

>>11284882
>But the one member who looks like she's about to morph into a grown-up beauty is definitely Duu.
I have this feeling I'm always going to see her as a 12 year old loli no matter what happens. Not a bad thing necessarily, but I really don't have an idea how she could 'mature' with that face structure.

Anyone have that shopped pic of Duu where she had curls? But no doubt she will be a sure 10/10 in 5 years time.

>>11284903
Know those feels too every time I see Kago. Everyone else didn't change that much by the time they were adults except for Kago and Tsuji.

>>11284920
yossy became stick and mako-chan got hot.

>>11284927
I meant in terms of facial structure. Yossy and Mako still kinda look the same as they did in MM besides the obvious hair and weight changes but Kago and Tsuji almost look like different people now.

>>11284944
No way, Aibon looks the same as she did in the 2000s.
Even though she has committed atrocities, I kind wonder what she's doing now.

>>11284987
Top laughs.

>>11284975
being a housewife and taking care of her kid. Similar to other graduated H!Ps.

You people are cancerous

>>11285011
Yeah now talking about musumes is allowed cuz c-ute is so much better and you want to dedicate the thread to delicious feets mmmmm

>>11284997
Still radiating an aura of cute, even if she did do naughty things.

>>11285102
Aibon or Momochi, please consider them.

>>11285141
How about a thread for the unappreciated h!p? Like Konno, Mako, Mitsui, Captain, Sudou, Saki or anyone who isnt spammed like shit?

>>11285097
Thats the one. I guarantee she will have this look in a few years.

>>11285148
福田 明日香?

>>11285097
Reminds me of Lightning. Can someone shoop the pink on her hair?

So is the other guy making the new thread? I already have something in mind.

>>11285150

Hopefully, I mean, I'd like to see it. The short hair's nice, but I'd like to see a medium length look.

>>11285166

Well I was going to ask if someone would like to suggest a pic, but go for it. What is it you have in mind though? Or is it a surprise? If it's Momoko then well...

>>11285173
It's probably Momoko, she deserves it.
