Get all the information you need from the special Japan Expo Musume site or Sayunii's website.

Good Evening anons,

Or get hyped about Japan Expo coming in so soon!

Looks like a new FC DVD has been released too.

Hello! Project 2010 Summer Concert Tour ~Fankora! Details Updated

ed/

>They have added about 5 performances more (basically all the dates they originally announced) as well as adding 8 different sections with different concert titles.

H!P Summer 2010 tour dates are set and we'll see how all those different song requests are set up into these different shows, link has more info.

Fav shot. FDAU

Have you bros seen the new West Wind appearance,
it seems the format has changed a bit since last time.

I hope this gets translated the questions are usually off the wall. And hilarious wota in the front row bouncing around for the performance which was really well done.

LQ version is up on the tracker now too.

YATAAAAAAAAA!

Nice clear picture you took there and just in time.

>>5486298
Very inconsistent handwriting, the first 0 is just plain ugly and everything got smaller at the end. Not a nice sight.

>>5486357

Yeah, no kidding w...I leave on Monday...

[Hyakupa] Morning Musume - Genki pika pika! (Alo-Hello!4)
http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?act=tracker&CODE=details&torrent=28618

Double Alo-Hello Hyakupa Release! Not too much talking in Alo-Hello 4 but still nice to get the translations of what was said in the little activity sections and off camera shoot segments.

And subbed Pika Pika too! All in a nice Resolution: 1280x720

Tough loss today but still things feel pretty up for some reason. Anyways, got some strikeforce and Musume to take out whatever frustration is left.

Hopefully some Aya concert recordings will pop up too.

>>5486421
Think you got a shot at doubles?

So Pretty

Ok, this guy has got to lose one of these times,
but this opponent looks like chump meat to Fedor

HOLY SHIT ITS OVER

>>5486561
If you're talking about the PBs, still no news. Had my contact send a query to Wanibooks a few days ago, should get something from that soon. May not be before I leave for France though...

G'Night

Good Morning!

Oh England, you crazy.
Still glad we didn't get that matchup.

None of the live dub over crap that the french are known for? I'm shocked.

There is no explanation there, she/he is just writing what common sense should tell you and what has been discussed here when the "Vote for the song you want to hear" thing was out.
Next I will explain the madness of any concert if that saves us from you promoting "not your site".

>>5485853

Host: So for Morning Musume’s Takahashi Ai-chan, the secret that only she knows… is this! “Tanaka-san thought that Europe was a country.”
Ai: When Europe was mentioned, she went like, ‘Eh, Europe? A country?” Then there’s also France and Paris right? Even that, she doesn’t know those either.

Host: ohhhhh~ So, Paris and France and Europe… All of them are just sorta lumped together in your head?
Reina: Uh, yes. [Aichan laughs here]
Host: So where do you think Europe is?
Reina: Eh? Up or down? Is that what you mean? (laughter erupts) Wait, wait, stop stop! I don’t get what you mean by ‘Where do you think it is?’ How do you want me to answer?
Host: How? Well, you can be like, ‘Hmmm, Europe is right over there…’ or something like that. (laughter)

Host2: By the way, it is said that the shape of Italy looks like something. Do you know what it is?
Reina: Italy looks like… Pizza
Hosts: Eh~ What? Round? That’s such a special thing! A round and gorgous country.

>>5491131
Oh man that silly Reina...I miss those H!M geography segments.


>>5491067
Forgot your trip

OH GOD, got the signed PB. Fucking best week ever ;_________________;

Although I'll be in France when it arrives...but hey, gives me something to look forward to on the way back~ and something to lift my spirits in post-con depression/withdrawals orz

>>5491302
I don't tripfag, sorry, try again.

>>5491702
Thats great man, definitely want to come out of that special order with some extra special.

Do you know if you are getting any of the other special goodies from the lottery?

Also
Just watched the Genki Pika Pika PV and the translation makes the song even stronger and more beautiful.

Why do you expect of Comiket 78?

>>5491829
>Do you know if you are getting any of the other special goodies from the lottery?
I'm not sure what 'other special goodies' you mean...I did put the Mobekimasu/Shuffle Date PB in that same order and chose Aichan as my member to sign it, but it seems I didn't get that.
Unless you're referring to the limited photo or something, but that should come with every SE, which all the copies I bought through Wani will be. Pic related

>>5491851
I thought there was a lottery draw for special items she had gotten from Hawaii and a special limited poster as well.

>>5491847
>Why?

>>5491923
That was for Figure, I believe you had to send in the card that came packaged with the DVD? Didn't participate in that though.

>>5491923

Not sure about the poster...

>>5491851
If you bought the DVD and the pb, you got a chance to get a prize she bought in Hawaii. Also for buying a Katachi pb you got into a raffle where you could get one of 5 limited posters

>>5491923
lol you expect him to know

>>5491939
I was just asking because I am going Touhou crazy and cant wait for new Doujins and Touhou 13 demo. I wondered if u felt the same or if I was in the minority.

>>5491995
150-ish threads on this board. In this one, and maybe 2 others, yeah you're in the minority.

>>5492001
Sry lol I'm new and just came across this thread. Continue on I'll leave you to it.

>>5491991

;_______________________;

>>5491995
>>5492014
Yea, I believe there are a series of Comiket threads on /jp/
Check in those they always seem to have all the info on all the releases there. And welcome to /jp/, any reason you gravitated towards us first? Musume fan?

>>5491991
>lol you expect him to know
I was giving him the benefit of the doubt I guess but still lol

>>5492073
Go back to work
...and you forgot your pic

>>5492118
Yes I am a fan so that is why I felt confident asking on this thread. domo arigato for the welcome.

>>5492119
You mad, Mexico?

>>5492119
>implying I always post with a pic
Anyway, here. Faggot. <3

>>5492140
Ahh good to hear. Favorite members? Singles? Generations?

>>5492206
Reina is my waifu but I'll prob regret saying that as she has already been taken by others that have been here a lot longer than me.

My personal fave studio albums are
Second Morning
4th Ikimasshoi!
Rainbow 7
Sexy 8 Beat
Cover You (cover album)
10 My Me

As for singles
Summer Night Town
Daite Hold on Me!
Memory Seishun no Hikari
Love Machine
I Wish
Renai Revolution 21
Mr. Moonlight: Ai no Big Band
Do It! Now
Koko ni Iruzee!
are just a few of my favorites.

>>5492259
Good to hear, I know its hard to list the singles because there are so many good ones. And then coupling songs as well.

Reina really has had an amazing year with the Reinya show and her new blog opening up, I've really felt like I got to know her better. Awesome Musume and amazing singer.

>☆M.M.Fan☆
Contrary to 岡愛 and the rivalry Ai-chan fans, we don't namefag around here so drop that as soon as possible. And feel free to jump in any conversation or start anything from your perspective which is still unknown yet.

Have you been to Musume concerts at all? Are you going to Japan Expo? Have you gone to Japan at all?

>>5492320
sumimasen I wasn't sure. Yes I have been to many over the years and I live in Paris. I have already got everything planned. I went and saw them in LA last year and am glad to hear this year they come to the city of love. I also think Tomo was a good choice for the theme song of the event.

>>5492365
>Yes I have been to many over the years and I live in Paris.
>I went and saw them in LA last year

That's cool man, its interesting to hear from French H!P fans, I know they have a good sub group (HMT) that releases over on H!O but it seems like English isn't an issue for you.

Do you read/write Japanese at all? And when you say you've seen many concerts, which tours?

I do not know if you know it or not but there is a channel here called Nolife and I watch it all the time pretty much my music channel.

I am not ashamed to admit I am 29 now and was still in school the first time I ever heard musume and I still love them just as much as I did then.

>>5492405
I have seen the live 4 times soon to be five times. I feel for me that is many seeing as how I live in Paris.

2006
2007
2008
2009
and soon to be 2010. I am very excited and look forward to the festivities.

>>5492405
>there is a channel here
Just became aware of it from the Japan Expo web page and promo my self. But culturally there seems to be a pretty strong connection between Paris and Tokyo.

But what doesn't Paris have a cultural influence on, lol. Well maybe not so much anymore but still.

>I am not ashamed to admit
Clearly you are proud of your fanhood, man I wish I could of been to some of those classic tours, things don't seem the same in the idol world in Japan.

>>5492468
I can speak a little bit enough to carry on a polite conversation but not an in depth one and I can read Japanese Kanji and Katakana fairly well but not enough once again to look like a pro.

I have been to Japan a total of 3 times on 2 week stays each time. I cant wait to go back again in the Winter for when the Cherry Blossom's start to fall. It really is quite beautiful.

ahahahahahaha

>>5492489
Yes as I said I am not ashamed. You are correct though it is not as it once was. Just as being a cosplayer was huge back in the day girls actually wanted to be with you but now you are seen as more of a nerd to them. Ahh how times change. Memories to last a lifetime at 29 thought thankfully.

>>5492536
U know what I meant to say as a sublet of Japanese syllabary sorry If It came off as two different things.

>>5492516
>>5492543
Wow, it seems like the Japan Expo is perfect for your collection of interests then. I'm mostly a very dedicated idol fan nowadays.

>I cant wait to go back again in the Winter
Fall Tour was just announced recently, if you haven't heard. This could be a graduation tour ;___;

>Ahh how times change
Yea, just from my analysis it really feels like the international spirit has dwindled or in better terms been infected with a certain type of attitude and rhetoric.

But a website like this can distort your perception of normal rational international discussion.

>>5492543
You'll want to avoid /int/ as well before being drummed over the head with European muslim invasion talk.

>>5492604
Yes I heard and I think it will possibly and I will plan my trip around that as further details emerge.
My alliance has lied with musume since I was a teenager I am not about to stop that now.
There is a strong sub-culture here despite it not being an Asian country. I hear that America is starting to slowly but surely get deeper and deeper into the JAP scene, Not just Idol's but VK and J-Rock/Pop in general.

>>5492626
Thank you for the heads up I will remember that. I think this will be my mainstay as this is my primary hobby outside of work which is so much less interesting than this.

>>5492646
>I hear that America is starting to slowly but surely get deeper and deeper into the JAP scene
Clearly we are moving further into accepting if not idolizing Japanese beauty and ascetics. Sushi restaurants do very well here and people are opening up to that as well.

But there is still so much different between the cultures here and they have been trivialized and caricatured with the over used and forced weeaboo image.

>>5492679
Yes just like the Goth culture who is not overshadowed by this Vamp culture of teenage kids who are entranced by those Twilight movies, The true people in America who have been a part of this culture for more than just a year or two I am sure suffer the same fate with all the weeabo imaging you spoke of.

That is just how the world is nothing stay sacred eventually everyone finds out and its no longer unique and original it becomes over saturated and over populated by people who never would have dared be a part of it if not for its rise in popularity but such is life.

>>5492734
>have been a part of this culture for more than just a year or two I am sure suffer the same fate
Well said, you and bringing up the twilight faggotry, I try to avoid it outright.

Its even more painful when Ai & Reina and the girls talk about watching the movies. But that is just pop culture for you in Japan too...

Extreme fanhood seems to be spreading here as well, I mean you'll get a taste of that with all these Touhou threads on /jp/, in fact its pretty much what most of /jp/ only talks about.

But anyways, still holding onto the finer things around here, just need a discerning eye.

>The finer girls

>>5492772
I am sorry my browser crashed out on me. I have been meaning to upgrade but procrastination and all.
Yeah I do not blame the girls for talking about it when its all around the globe. They are horrible movies but the book fanbase is so strong and filled with mini wallets "teen girls" that it cannot help but be popular.

I unfortunately have to go but am glad to have found other musume fans that I can talk about with. sayonara my friends.

I leave a parting gift.

I'm getting worried now, I hope she comes back in full force soon.

Celebrating the end of Fashionable

Ahhh, time moves so quickly, I really hope to see this play.

Well, plane leaves in about 11 hours...will do my best to have reports for you guys, just depends on whether I can find readily available wi-fi in Paris. Should be doable, I hope.

Anyway, heading to bed now...sweet Musume in France dreams~

Do what feels natural once you get there. But pictures are definitely something worth a thousand words.

Anyways, good night to you.

Good night, calming dreams

>>5490590
Wow what performance is that from?

I had the best dream last night. I went to Japan and hung out with Maki, I'm not sure how I had the connections to do so but it was so wonderful ;_; We laughed and joked a lot and she showed me her abs which were crazy ripped, much more than in real life.

I have a dream with a member of Morning Musume every once in a while but I wish I had one every night.

>>5498959
For you it's crazy ripped abs, jokes and good times, for me it's usually the zombie apocalypse or other similar hilarious events.
"Can't talk now Maki, invasion of the body snatchers. Are you one of them?"

Dammit.

Rise and shine!

Reina is blogging again!!!

Will have to check the translations to see what she was doing...thought maybe it was the pace of posting that was a problem but there's like 7 new entries already.

lol

i'm sorry bro, next time feel free to stop by in my dream. but you gotta be nice.

>>5492831
damn, she's sexy

>>5499969
Actually I had a Maki dream about a week or so ago, she was like a party host or support host. And I walked up to her and she was really charming, glowy and spoke in elegant English.
Mood was awesome but unfortunately I woke up too soon to see what might of happened next.

But yea Maki-fag lives in a apocalyptic world so no surprises his dreams are fucked up.

>>5499952
>:(
Get out

>>5494646
Bits and pieces so far.

>>5499969
I don't have that power yet, apparently I need to move closer to Chernobyl.

Glad to hear that Maki is bettering a few Anons' dreams.

>Wow, hope you bros are able to get into the sign sessions
Yeah, indeed. According to wiki that thing had 164k visitors last yesteryear, I'm guessing even more will show up this year. Those signage quotas you mentioned seem off by atleast a 0.

Also: Lottery wat. I hope dudes didn't forget to pack a rabbit's foot.

>>5502391
I'm really wondering how they came up with those specific numbers. As for the methods for each signing session I am actually a little more shocked of the number of pure lottery sessions...

But I do believe there is a 5th signing session that is not listed on here for some reason.

Hopefully its not something set in stone and they at least attempt to allow flex room after seeing how the first session goes.

And I'm really wondering if they will hit 150k+ people again.

I am proud of who I am and If I want to express my love for a beautiful woman I have every right to do so. I am sure you would jump at the chance to be with that Megan Fox woman so kindly leave me and my love for musume spec Reina alone.

>>5509876
Oh I am sorry what happened? Monetary issues? Hopefully you will get to see them in Japan esp if it is truly going to be a you know what concert.

>>5509923
>you know what concert

i DON'T know what. what? and yes, no money, and taking a class. sucks so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will say nothing more as I am sure you are already upset enough. I apologize for stirring the fire but I did not know. Once again I must leave time for Dinner here sayonara friends. I leave a parting gift another Hi-Res

>>5510042
I think what he was trying to convey was, Good Morning How are you? Musume Friends. It is in the evening here being almost 5:30pm

Just a rough translation don't quote me on it.

>>5510061
Thanks cause I was lost to say the least lol

>>5510056
Haha, he's a good dude, good poster... but that stuff hurts my head.

>>5510061
I too am pretty sure that was what he was saying. But to be sure you should break out the dictonary and get back to me.

Haha French anon is kind of funny. I hope you are watching the game right now!

And yes i can't wait to hear Musume has landed in France.

Man I wish I could take it easy like my girl Aika today,
but there is work needed to be done ;__;

Who will be going to Paris?

I know I am.

The Ai-chan fans have got to be in Europe by now,
bunking up together and all that good stuff

Are we being raided?

So what do you think makes upfront more money.

CD sales
Fan club sales (dvd etc)
Photo books

I'm guessing they are keeping it together until fan club or photo books stop selling, because cds sure as hell aren't.

>>5513117
Things seem pretty laid back around here, bro.
I did see some thread about some meme and /jp/ raiding themselves something or the other. What was that about?

>>5513197
Merch sales. No doubt. MM is still a top-5 band, I doubt that anyone involved is sad about that. Ever. The other groups seem to be doing good for themselves as well, record sales in future year 2010 are down allover however. But fuck me their merch must sell. I still have a hunch that the photocards bring in a shitton of money for them.
What? like 500+ yen for something that costs them maybe 3 yen to make? That's good business.

>>5513207
>/jp/ raiding themselves
Sounds familiar but then again we just parse out who /jp/ truly is.

Has Abe-fan a case of road rage?

No idea.
Man, I just remembered that some wota was awesome enough to get a livestream going during the Musume set at Anime Expo.

I hope some escargot eating motherfucker is able to pull the same kind of some crazy shit this time around, smuggle in some spy device á la James Bond MI6 and give us outsiders the same treatment as last year.

Nope.

No update from Ai-chan fans, that's a paddling.

>>5516735
No. Fucking no.

Maybe, MAYBE, in future year 2023 (?) when maybe she's done with music we'd have a topic at our hands.
But not now? Not in the immediate future, no.

Apologies, we just checked into the hotel in Paris a few hours ago and this is the first chance I've had to sit down and get online. Not much to say for now, leaving to greet MM at the airport in a few hours. Will have a report on that tonight~

To our French friend, look for the guy in all yellow clothes with a white headband if you'd like to say hello.

good to hear from you bros i'm leaving at 11:30 to the airport !

I'll be in yellow too !

Some rumor about the girls only signing the Expo purchased CDs

Staying cool today anons?

>>5520832
>Contrarily to what was said on most sites, they told me you had to buy some Morning Musume goods at the fnac. The proof of your purchase allows you to get a ticket for the signings, ticket which you must ask from the "accueil/welcome" booth (right at the left of the entrance).

Correction: Rumor about getting a signing ticket after buying goods at the FNAC store.

Don't want to spread misinformation around just felt it necessary to pst some of the statements coming out of that store right now.

Just going to throw these links out there for people wanting to follow the forum updates and catch things in real time. Jpopmusic is not anon friendly anymore...JPHip has some travel guides up, so check those out too.

>FNAC Champs Elysées – Thursday, July 1st at 11:30 – 12:30

* All items bought at FNAC the day before the signing can be used to get an autograph event ticket, you just need to keep the receipt and ask for a ticket tomorrow at the “accueil/welcome” booth at the left of the entrance.
* You have to buy Momusu goods at the FNAC to get a ticket, the proof of purchase will allow you to get one (prices for albums are around 30 – 40 Euros each).

Japan Expo (Signing Room #5, requires a convention ticket to enter JE) – Thursday, July 1st at 16:15 – 17:15

From Sayunii's website just a few minutes ago, sounds like the goods -> ticket at the FNAC store theory is confirmed for that first sign session there. I can't imagine people not jumping on that first session if it is as simple as that.

Gaki is rolling with extensions through this.

This look is the perfect French look in my opinion.

Sayu's blog starting to fire up.

thanks for the updates bros,

Sorry for the late report, spent the evening out eating and getting provisions (food, water) for lining up for the FNAC session...just now had the chance to post.

By the time the girls showed up, there were a LOT of people...some of the folks I was with said it looked like more than were at the arrival in LA. Greeting went as expected, all the fans made lots of noise for the girls when they walked in (got some quick eye contact and a wave from Aichan ;___________________;) and we followed them out to the cars they left in. Spent a minute or two waving at the girls, chanting 'Musume saikou' and so forth as they waited to pull out of the terminal. A couple of them actually pulled out their cell phones and took pics of us haha
After they left, people wandered back inside and chatted for a bit then went their separate ways. Think that's about everything...

Anyway, running on about 2 hours of decent sleep since I left the US...gonna get some quick shut-eye and then it's off to FNAC.
Later bros~

>>5522363
>(got some quick eye contact and a wave from Aichan ;___________________;)
Ahh, thanks for the update there Ai-chan fan, glad you were at the airport to welcome them, were you wearing your Ai-chan gear there? I'm still looking for a brighter video so I can see them all a little better.

Hope you can get into the FNAC sign session alright, did you buy the goods there already then?
Hows the mood there and with you guys?

Wow, what an opening feast!

Might not want to sleep too long there Ai-chan fans, they are half filled for the session already!

Anyways, I hope all the girls a quick recovery from the jet lag.
