Red the Usagi Ah, I'm sorry! I don't like the way it makes her shoulders look all sticky-outy. ^ ^' I think the best photobook I've seen so far is Kamei's Maple. It's sooo pretty, and Kamei is.. well, sooo pretty! I heart Kamei's Maple and why are you sorry? I said the dress was hideous on Takahashi... and I know what you mean about her shoulders... it doesn't work... (I liked her Mini Moni CRAZY ABOUT YOU outfit [that said I loved ALL of their outfits for that one sweatdrop ])

I agree that dress definately dont suite Takahashi, even though i like "Maple", its not my fav, my fav is Aya Matsuuras "alo hello", she seems to have fun while doing the photoshoot, thats one of the reasons why i like the images there, and that aya looks so cute doesent hurt.

AWKWARD TURTLE!!!

I guess I'm too liberal... I mean, the girls have to have SOME idea of what the fans will be doing with their pictures. As long as I keep that mind-set, I don't have a problem with them posing in swimsuits. sweatdrop

@ Usa-yan:
That's true, I guess.
But even then, I kinda don't like it. xd sweatdrop
Um, like, I don't like how H!P attracts so many (cough)male(cough) fans just with image. Before, I didn't mind as much (because of course they want to have a good image) but now the focus seems to have shifted more to the image and less on the talent. (Not that there is THAT much talent (cough)Kusumi(cough) lately)

Yeah, but they're IDOLS. It's ALL image. I mean, in Japan being perfect isn't good, and an idol kind of represents that (there's a term for that in Japanese that I forget but translates to good-bad). If every member of H!P were a killer dancer, singer, and actress with a great personality, it'd be too much. That's why there group's always had people like Ishikawa Rika and Sayumi...
that said, I'd still love it if they got SOMEONE who could sing more than a note or two during the auditions.

I think they're taking the whole Idol thing to the extreme... especially since music sales (in general) have been down. I'm not saying they should go ugly, but maybe up the work in order to get better, I understand the whole having a Sayu or Charmy... but really... do we need 7 of them?!~

agree completely with Masa's last post.
Like, Matsuura Aya sold well, and she could sing decently (better than Tanaka or Michishige).
That said.
Kick out Sayu, Reinacchi and Kusumin and let Kamei, Niigaki and Takahashi take over. 3nodding (I'd say Mitsui too, but she needs to improve her voice. But, she's too cute to kick out. xd *hypocrite* )

This is what I hate about hating on Reina (and to a lesser extent, Koharu): wanting her out does no good, because at the moment she one of the ones bringing in a lot of fans, for whatever reason.
I think Matsuura's the best singer in all of H!P! She's the only one who i've never, EVER heard miss a note (Actually, once she almost didn't hit a note, but it wasn't bad... like how Yossy almost misses one of the notes in her KT solo. it's like that).

I know, so if you put her as a H!P soloist, although the fans wont official be "momusu" fans, they'll still help H!P 3nodding and maybe she could develop her image more instead of being so generic... maybe she could go back to being that Yanki that we all love crying (or at least I loved, I adored her outfits too) Then Momusu could put the spot light on others who really deserve it (Eri & Risa ninja ) I'm sorry, I still think Eri and Risa would make a cool duo 3nodding

I thought of Goto Maki as the best singer, followed by Mika Todd, but they both left. XP
SO now it would be Maeda Yuki. :3

I think that Matsuura is the best, that Goto was also good but that Ayaya was always better. sweatdrop
For some reason, Ayaya's voice (recorded) in some songs (many of her singles) annoys me.... stare I like her way better live. 3nodding
I really liked GAM live; especially Ayaya. sweatdrop (She made up for Fujimoto's voice. xd *hides from Sumba* But Fujimoto was better live than recorded, in GAM anyway...IMO~~)
I thought that Mika was good for an H!P singer. domokun
But now, her jazz stuff... stare
She isn't good enough for that kind of music, IMO.
So she's kinda become an average singer to me. D:
Maeda is good, too. 3nodding
But sometimes her voice doesn't blend well in groups.... TT TT// Usually she's pretty good, though.
I like Nakazawa's voice, but her singing isn't always that great (IMO).
