Earlier this year, it was announced that the mountain gardening movement Satoyama would have a sister movement called Satoumi, meaning that they are moving away from the mountains and towards the sea. Nothing wrong with mountains I guess, but I welcome the change. It sounds more… fun? This time, there will be three shuffle units. … Continue reading
I rarely do a GETS post, but I do love a letter or a package with idol goods inside. I wouldn’t call myself a collector in the strict sense of the word because everything I buy, I buy it for active use. I don’t stash my photos in boxes; I organise them neatly and look … Continue reading
It took a while, but I’m back with my yearly Hello! Project song ranking. There were almost no song reviews in my blog this year, but there is some babble about them and a few sensible opinions (if you’re lucky) at the end of the post. Short version? Go through the song list and admire … Continue reading
Hello! ^^ No worries, I haven’t gone anywhere and neither has my love of idols. I got a new job in November and, as much as I’d love to spend my evenings and weekends blogging, I simply don’t have the energy.

When I first heard the preview, I was pleased. It’s not that I personally loved it, although the sounds that reminded me of … Continue reading

Everyone! Do you like reading your favourite idols’ blogs? I do, but the only official H!P blog I check every day is from Sayumi (here) and I never get tired of recommending, everyone should take some time to read it. And I’m not biased! Honestly! Well okay I am, but just a tiny bit. For us Sayu fans, the blog … Continue reading
I have realised I am wrong in thinking, only a topic that makes me want to write a book is worth a blog post. I often have the urge to blog on something of less volume or importance, so I thought of a new concept for my blog posts. From time to time, I will … Continue reading
Hanakotoba!
