9th Generation Auditions

First off, BOO~
Make the limit 20, or even 19! Gone and ruined my chance, just by a year XD
(I'm 18 1/2, now)



OKAY!
Erin, Jun, and Lin are graduating.

Fear my editing prowess of loserville!! (Erin gets a different cap 'cause she's not a foreign exchange member)

This leaves Aichan, Niigaki, Sayumin, Reina, and Mittsi:


Personally, I see this as a great loss for Momusu. No, not because Lin's leaving (She's my favourite H!P member), but because this leaves three members that aren't that good at singing.
Aichan and Niigaki have the singing prowess to help keep Momusu stable. However, Reina ruins it with her personality-instead-of-skill voice [a lot, in concerts] while Sayumin and Mittsi are still in need of improvement.
Mittsi just needs more experience and some strengthening, while Sayumin needs major strengthening and departure from her overuse of her signature singing.

In all truth, I would've preferred Aichan and Niigaki to leave instead of Erin, Jun, and Lin. But since Erin's doing it for her health, I'd still let her leave. I would prefer to have Jun and Lin remain. Why?
In my mind, I was waiting for Aichan and Niigaki to graduate! They have a large fanbase and great vocals, so they could easily do well outside of Momusu. Jun and Lin don't have that (Lin has the voice, Jun needs some more training), and they will have to work even harder to get a much larger Chinese fanbase.
That, and I selfishly wanted Lin to stay longer and didn't think of anyone other than Aichan and Niigaki to leave~ XD

So, in case anyone's still reading: It was bound for Jun and Lin to return to China. They're the "foreign exchange members" and, like all foreign exchange programmes, they have to return sometime. In this case, three-or-whatever years. Be grateful for that!


~*~

Now, about the Auditions for Gen. 9:
YAY!

This will let people shut up about there never being any auditions after so many years, as well as letting me [and other fans that came after Gen 8 was mostly adjusted; Mikan, for me] experience the main characteristic of Momusu: Generations.

I've seen the generations come-and-go only because of Singles and some concerts. I never got to experience any newbies being introduced in the moment, and only saw Koha (and Erika from 'C-ute) graduate. Now, I'll get the chance to see a fresh face-or-two that will hopefully be able to sing and has a fresh personality! And despite being depressed for Lin to be leaving, at least this lets Momusu not remain as I would hate it to~
I'm also hoping that other than the Audition Winners, Tsunku will be really generous and let an EGG-or-two get to join the generation! Not likely, but it'd be really touching to see that he's not a waste.

Ah, but I'm still annoyed that the limit to audition is 10-17. I'm 18.5, so my hopes for even auditioning for Momusu died. However, there's no actual limit for EGGS, though it's supposedly around 25. If I train my vocals, Japanese, and lose some weight... I'll have a chance <3
As long as there's no limit or race-requirement. I'll give up on ever being a member of H!P (EGGS), by 24-25 <3>

Pure Mistress

See, fear the horror of my former skills:
http://www.drunkduck.com/Pure_Mistress/index.php?p=137715 (there's about eight pages)
And I'm serious about the horror =_=;;


ANYWAYS!
Totally thinking of re-starting it~
True, I've yet to finish writing my one story (the one with Ade and Pepper; the previous post, if the names are that unfamiliar to your mind). However, it's written whenever I feel like it, so I'm not going to bother with it too much. If I do, I fear I'll force an ending; forced-endings are rather annoying and tend to fail at life. So, to be quick, I'm not that "Need finish NAO" for it. Another great reason for it to not have been posted online as I go. Well, it's not really set-up in proper format yet, so that's also another thing to do XD
(I do have to force myself to working on Pepper's part, seeing as how she's the main protagonist and I've written such little starring her!)

In my remake (for a bit of it, it's a "remake", but most of it is totally unknown to others), there will be slight character adjustments. Designs is the main focus of the changes. There will be some more background and personality adjustments, in order to retain a sense of realism. Oh, and since I could only remember Claire and Leah's name[s], I went and renamed the other characters; they weren't near being introduced, in what I had completed, so it's okay. That, and my olde-characters tend to be very "thin", in terms of character/personality! I think I'll have to work harder, to write for characters... as there are some slight psychological disturbances in a few; anti-social, mind-controlled, etc. XD
Eventually, I'll begin designing everyone~ Yet, I feel I should work on establishing their characters prior to that. As well as getting the story completed. Based on my recollection of what I planned to have happen, it should be relatively easy. At least, once I am positive of what's to happen (it'd be something that has few fillers and might be the length of one-or-three volumes-worth)!
No, seriously. The story's meant to be quick, disregarding as many fillers as possible! Sure, I might include silly mini-comics, omake, etc., but the main story's progression is key. It's also good, since it's not something made to last. Small cast, author's lack of intelligence/imagination, and the rather easy loss of will. Basically, it might confuse people with its pace, but I hope it'll be worth it!


Now...
That's pretty much it XD
At least, 'til I have most of it finished (script and-or comic).

ALSO! 'Comic' is so much easier to say, than "manga" (especially when pronounced correctly). That's why I refer to it as 'comic' and 'webcomic' (which will be the case, once it's being uploaded online). I refer to 'manga' as either Japanese or Japanese-influenced comics. Comics are 'comics', especially since they're what influenced the common style of manga. (I use an olde term!) XD
For the n00bs in Japanese-love, it doesn't freakin' matter its name. It's not like anime (which can be pronounced several ways, since it's a French-or-whatever word for 'animation'), where the content is what determines its classification! Anime is animated series where there is a plot that is followed through until the ende. Cartoons are pretty much animated sitcoms (where there's some sort of set-up, but no definite ending or goal actually exists or is fully followed through). And all nations of the world [that animate] have created both anime and cartoons. I only use the classification of 'anime' and 'cartoon' in order to separate the two, though there might be an actual classification title for animation. A good example would be 'Hayate no Gotoku' ('Hayate the Combat Butler'), as its entire animated-version--both seasons--has barely a plot. Its manga, however, gains one that only recently completed. XD

Story Idea

I have a story in mind, which might interest people
(I'm posting more on this, 'cause it'll be long and I feel like CTRL+S-ing a lot)
It's theme:

"Everyone has reasons"

The purpose of this is to have people to understand that Humanity is not as grande as it's made out to be. Humans are different from other species, due to Arrogance (not language--other species use different forms than just sounds!).
And because of that, we cannot understand or even comprehend other methods of life. Not one person shares the exact same culture, values, thought-processes, body growth, and so-on. Because of this, misunderstandings are way too often. But because of Arrogance, the misunderstandings lack an attempt to understand.
Personally, I believe that were Humans capable of losing our Arrogance, we would advance in both Science and Social areas. But because this is impossible, I'd adore it were future generations able to comprehend that not everyone thinks like the other. We are different. Which should be apparent to all, but we all (I do suffer from Arrogance, too, though I try to comprehend others) get so caught up in our beliefs (this does not apply strictly to Religion, idiots!) that we forget that blunt truth.

Now, in my story, I want the reasons to not be blunt. I want people to not enjoy dramatic irony, as there's no point to it. Sure, it's entertaining, but it means little when you rarely experience it in real-life.
I know my story shan't be too realistic, as several things are exaggerated and silly. However, I want the theme to be taken on as though it were (realistic). I want my characters to learn, as well as the readers (and myself, even). I'm just now getting better at that. <3 style="font-weight: bold;">do plan ahead. But because my writing style is advancing, the planning morphs as I go~

Okay!
I wrote a lot.
Um... The setting takes place mostly... no clue XD
I've been writing more of Ade-concentrated scenes, so it's mostly at her place. It's in the States, at least! (That much I'm sure of) I don't think they'll leave any farther than cities, at most. =3

(For some reason, my paragraph about the primary main protagonists and antagonist got deleted. Dangit--WHY?!)

And...
The other characters... not sure how much screen time I'll give them <3
I suppose it depends on my mood, but most will just be background information for anyone who wants to read [when I upload the dang story]
But I'm sure that the main characters will make enough appearances
(Though, I suppose that matters while I write the dang main story, outside of Ade's life)

OKAY
I can't think of anything else to discuss XD
*FAIL*
So, that's everything that I'll get to
I shouldn't spill it all, or I'm likely to lose too much interest~

BYE-BYE'S~

Jun, Lin, Koha, and Miya Group Name

I entered a dorky name!!
With a horridly lame reason. XD
(As well as failed grasp of Japanese~)

Okay, here it is::


Ain't it lovely?

Anyways, I tried to think what would suit them.
The group's members are always smiling, as well as optimistic as heck.
So, naturally, I combined the two characteristics and thought up a name. =3

Now, personally:
I think that Miya's voice will be too high for the group.
As Jun has one of H!P's lowest, Lin and Koha sing medium.
But she can sing, so the only one a tad worrying will be Koha. XD
(But I adore her, so I guess it's alright.)

Everyone, be sure to submit a name::
http://sayunii.wordpress.com/2010/05/16/jun-jun-lin-lin-miyabi-and-koharu-to-perform-in-shanghai/
(Scroll down and you'll get to the directions!)

Been such a while, since I had a H!P post. =D
Yay~ <3

Anyways, lovely Hello!Blog's H!P Member Poll 2010 was finally released~
And I wanna say some things, mostly just pointing out some things. =3
(And to see if anyone can tell how much my impression on things change, once I vote!)

Okay, the groups vs groups, first, 'cause they're easier:



Momusu - Yay! Though not that surprised, I'm still glad.

B!K - Sadly, though there songs seem to be getting more enjoyable, I still wouldn't have them as 2nd Place. But I know that it's a fan favourite, so I can't say I wasn't surprised.

C-ute - I can't believe they beat Buono! Most of their singles are highly unfair in lyric distributions, so I was estimating that they'd come closer to last. I'm happy, though, since I can't seem to dislike any of their songs.

Buono! - With three of the most popular juniors (age-wise) and really fair lyric distributions, I thought they'd beat C-ute and not Momusu or B!K. That's pretty much it.

S/Mileage - Heh. Everyone pretty much seems to not care so much, by this point. I already knew they'd make it to the lower-portion of the votes and am glad that they beat a group that have people with more fans. I'm hoping that they'll be liked, with more songs released.

ManoEri - Sad, but nowhere near surprise. She ranked low in pretty much everyone's member votes, so why should she rank any higher as a group (Soloist)? XD

Guardians4 - Well, I'm hoping that they'll be taken off the "Group" list on H!P's site, as well as Shugo!Chara EGG (which I adore), since they're no longer being used--Shugo Chara! ended a while ago. Their songs are nice, though the combination isn't that good. Even the Hello!Blog dude knew they'd stand no chance. XD


Okay, onto Individual Members~
(For most, I wonder if I can find something to say!)



Aichan - Fan-fave. After I voted, I began to notice her charm. Most likely 'cause her make-up changed from "thin-face" to "healthy tone"! But her poses are really annoying, with the head-neck thing she's taken a liking too. Because of that, I'd never have her in the TOP 5! 'cause I really hate that pose.

Erin - Totally fine with this, since she can sing. Her charm is always nice, so personality is fine with me, as well.

Reina - Not surprising, though several people don't seem to like her; "attention whore". I like Reina, just... not TOP 5-material. Her singing is distinct and when she tries, she hits what she needs to. She lets her personality shine through her voice, which is what I love when done. (I like singing with personality, more-so than staged-emotions~)

Niigaki - I'm happy that her fanbase is still so strong, though there were so many upset about her hair! I never thought her hair was "bad", since it was just clean cut and needed to grow a tad, in order to look nice. If anyone has paid attention, she does look a gazillion times better, now, than when it was just cut. (Not because it's slightly longer, but because it's grown to its proper shape/frame!)

Sayumin - Her personality always PWNS everyone. Her vocals are getting so much better! Her signature-voice (her squeaks after every syllable) is kinda annoying and I hope that she'll stop using it so much, so that her voice can improve quicker. I'd like her to use it, just, like, you know: NOT EVERYTIME. Other than that, I adore her. Her pitch is nice and she tries so hard. It's a nice change of pace, for Momusu.

Momo - Fan-fave. I love her mature-voice, detest her "cute"-voice. I can't even say cute, I have to say "cute". That's how much I detest it. I adore her in Buono!, as she rarely uses her super "cute"-voice and uses her mature-voice more often. In B!K, she's super annoying, 'cause it's super "cute" time! Her personality is adorable, but if she keeps her "cute"-voice, she'll never make this ranking in my votes.

Jun - Yay, a Panda made it! Not so surprising, since she seemed very high in a lot of votes, from what I saw. Her voice is still in need of improvement, for me to go "yay, pretty voice" instead of "yay, Jun-Jun", but I'm sure she'll be a gazillion times better next year. Well, if Tsunku and the rest of H!P staff gives her more lines, so that she has a reason to. She seems like the type to do a certain level, according to expectation, which is why I said that. But I like that about her, because her personality is win.

Captain - Hah, she beat most of B!K! I like how she's such a fave, yet she's not promoted so much. If the other ("popular") members were treated like her, I think I'd like them just as much as I do Captain! Captain's personality is darling and I cannot hate her. I find that her change in singing is kinda annoying, but she has only started using it recently. I think that she'll be singing how she wants, soon, since she's getting better at it.

Airi - Fan-fave. I can't blame any sort of Airi Love. According to what Hello!Blog had said, about where she was last year's 2nd place... can't be surprised. Her Airi-single pretty much ruined C-ute's fanbase, so I doubt people would support her so much after that. If she were to graduate from C-ute, though their sales would probably drop for a [long] while, I'd support her so much more. She is better in Buono! and would make a fine Soloist. I'm waiting for her day to shine alone, though I think she loves her fellow members. (I'm kinda feeling bad, since I think she really loves being in C-ute, but I want her to leave...)

Miya - Fan-fave. Honestly, I don't really like her. She sings so much better, after having been in Buono! (she has more depth to her voice!), but... ja, I can't like her. She looks so fake (her face is plastic; not literally!), in photos, so I don't think she tries as hard as she should be. I think she believes that her fanbase will never deter, but that's just how I perceive her. In reality, I really can't imagine how she is. She seems nice, but I don't think I'd like her. So, overall, I really don't like Miya.

Lin - I was really hoping for her to in the TOP 10, at least. Well, 11th Place is close enough! She has the most talent in H!P, in my opinion. When she sings childish songs, her voice can be annoying, so if that's the reason that she's so low in votes... Won't be surprised, since she goes a tad too childish in MiniMoni and in Guru Guru Jump. Her personality seems to be overshadowed, so I would like it, were she promoted more. But she's my fave H!P member, so I wonder how much that affects how I perceive her; I think I'm pretty neutral, in this.

Chii - Happy that someone who has so many fans, where I hang, made it in an overall ranking so high~ Her voice is technically weak, but she never gives up and can hit what she needs to. Her smile is always genuine. When the Korean Winner was declared, she was the only one that actually seemed happy for the girl! (I saw a photo of the announcement/when the girl got the bouquet.) I just adore her personality, since she's naturally so bubbly and seems like a great friend.

Kumai - Though I wish her singing was smoother, it is a nice change from the rest of the members when the others aren't, like, Chisa and Erin. Then, the change is too drastic, making her sound bad. In the ende, I like her. Not that much, but a lot more than the next Place:

Maimi - Fan-fave. Her voice... She can't sing C-ute songs, so I want her to stop with them. She cannot reach the high-notes and becomes all nose when she needs to hit them. I hate her voice, when it's nasally. When it's not, I like it. Overall, I'd like her to become a Soloist. Her solo songs are darling and no one can sing them the same way (though, in the recently released H!P concert, she was PWND by two other members). I think she's sorta like Miya, where she doesn't think that her fanbase will deter. Well, at least her face ain't as plastic!

Risako - Fan-fave. Kinda glad that she didn't make it so high! I'd like her to have more facial expressions, though whatever she does, she's always so beautiful! I can't win, in deciding how much I like or dislike her. At times, I find her so irritating, then I adore her. Maybe as her cognition matures, I'll be able to decide. She is the youngest in a relatively olde group (B!K is closer to their 20's, than C-ute), so I'll let her get away with some suggestive-ish poses. Her cognition might have matured differently, were the group younger in age as a whole, so I'll just let circumstance deal with how I perceive her.

Mittsi - I like her, but not as much as several members that Placed lower than her. I like her, since she's so silly and acts childish [in a positive, super-cute way]. Her voice is also pretty refined, though not perfect, so I like that about her, as well.

Maasa - So sad! I wonder if it was her weight-change that altered any opinions on her, or if she was always placed about here. In any case, I find her overshadowed too much. I would like her to soften her voice, on some songs, though. Her voice is strong, but that can be a negative if it can't be soft.

Nakky - Okay, I understand. She is beautiful and is an optimistic and over-achieving member, but her voice hadn't matured as much as most hoped/thought it would. I understand her Placement. I like her, since she never falters in her lines, as most other H!P members do, and she can dance so well.

Chisa - Really sad. With Chisa, she often battles in my affection towards Maasa (at times, I prefer one, then the other, and so-on), so the fact that she's not so far from Maasa makes me happy. But like with Maasa, I'm sad that her talents are also overshadowed. She has a really average face and she's starting to not go with her initial image ("tomboy") and is becoming girlie, as she matures. Which is fine, because she is in that stage of girlhood. Her voice, at times, is so much better than Airi's, so I always hope that she'd be given more lines. Which is why I was so ecstatic, when she got Megumi's lines in Wakkyanai (Z)~

Yuukarin - Can't compete with members that are years her seniors (well, minus one). She was really loved, since the first EGGS concert (where Mittsi, Kanna, and JunLin participated in). She is so adorable! I can't really understand her personality, but she is just starting out as a full-pledged member and is still nervous. She seems really strong and, according to Kanyon's blog, she's very forgetful. Which just adds to her adorableness. In my opinion, as well as most's, her ranking isn't too surprising.

MaiMai - I was surprised that someone in H!P for so long was beat by a newbie member. I guess she was out-C-ute. Anyway, I like MaiMai, though her posture seems pretty bad. (Anyone that watches her perform should understand what I mean!) I don't know if she has a back issue, but I do know that he holds-back her singing. (Hunching-over does affect voice.) I like how she's maturing beautifully, though I can still see her cognitive level (she still acts her age, though she tries not to). and it makes her adorable. I can't wait to see how she'll be, when older~

Kanyon - I ranked her really high, but I fear that most who did had done it due to her resemblance to Aibon... Which, although I notice it, is not what I'm drawn to. I really adore her voice and her personality, although I only can catch a glimpse of it. She is unique, compared to Aibon. Her haircut's annoying, though. Not 'cause it's short, but because of its style. On anyone, it looks bad, so I'm sad that Kanyon went with it.

Mano - Her confidence is building, along with her vocals, so I'm hoping that she'll rank at least one spot higher by next year! The first impression she gave... was really bad: the song, her low confidence level, and her vocals. She really has affected how everyone perceives her. For those that gave her a chance, such as me, like her. For those that didn't, they want her gone. She really has improved immensely, since her first Indie, so I'm sad that no one notices it that much. In my opinion, were Mano to stop using her piano, she'd be able to showcase it better. She tries to match the piano's tones, making her voice not as pleasant since it's not her natural tone. I realized that, when she sang one of Goto's songs in her first concert! (Along with other songs, but that was the most obvious.)

DAWA - Sad that she beat someone with better vocals, glad she didn't beat Mano. Her voice's charm is getting to me, due to Lilpri. At first, I thought she really couldn't sing and was just an annoyance. But, in reality, she can sing and it's just her charm that gives the illusion that she can't. Which is sorta sad, but she is getting better at singing, so I'm sure I'll like her vocals really soon. I just can't think of her as a good match for S/mileage, though. Her pitch is too high, compared to the others, and throws the feel off. Other than that, she's a great live performer and I will like to see her personality more. Her confidence is building, since I can tell the uniqueness of her voice, which I couldn't before her Debut.

Sakicchi - I ranked her relatively high, so of 'course I'm saddened by how she ranked Last. I understand though, since she was popular mostly just in the EGG concerts and didn't get as much publicity as the other S/mileage members had outside of that. She is a prodigy, from what I've seen (from the way earlier EGG concerts), and am surprised that it hadn't affected her placement. She did have a trio song, with Lin and Airi, so that adds to my surprise. Well, I'm sure that she'll get more votes, next year. At least more than DAWA, I'm hoping!


~*~

In the ende, the results were as surprising as most would've thought.
I pretty much understand the overall preferences, which mostly contradict with mine.
Sure, I'm sad when those I ranked high had placed rather low, and those I ranked low placed really high.

But since I already knew that the fan-faves would instantly be in the first-half of the rankings, or rather high, I'm really not that surprised.
The only thing that surprised me were how much those not a fan-fave had ranked.
Some really did beat fan-faves, so I was actually glad.
(It's sad if preferences remain still!)

S/mileage and ManoEri didn't really stand much a chance.
(Though, Yukkarin did beat MaiMai, which really shocked me!!)
S/mileage is still new and Debut this month.
Mano gave herself a horrid first impression and it's still in affect.
Next year, I'm seeing them all liked more, but can't see Mano ranking any higher than a spot up.
(I'm a pessimistic-optimist.
Meaning that I already can judge how things might go, based on current conditions and not my own beliefs.)

Next year, I'm curious if anyone will beat Aichan!
The only way I can see that, as of now, is if she were to Graduate.
That's not likely, so maybe in a couple of years? XD

Annoyance Response

Now, in case she ever comes across this blog and-or reads this.
I do not care if she put me on hold 'cause I was singing.
I care that she put me on hold just because her boyfriend got on.

I was singing because I wanted to.
Since she was going to hear me, I told her to choose an H!P song (since I know most of the A-tracks and some more).
That's why I didn't care, had she put me on hold 'cause I was singing.

But, before she put me on hold...
She mentioned, to herself (aloud), that he got on.
She put me on hold and I was sad.

She has been talking to him NON-STOP since she got her new laptop.
As well as not long before her olde one was taken away. (She never got it back, since she didn't care about it. It sucked.)
I have not spoken to her, outside of second period, for the longest time.

When she called me (Please note that I've been referring to Skype. Never mentioned it, but whatever.), I was happy since it had been so long.
And I had fun, conversing with her.
And she ruined it, by dissing me.
Harshly.


So, I don't care if it was 'cause I was singing.
We weren't doing anything, but waiting for this one chic to post a new question anyways.
I just care about how and why I was dissed so harshly.

Annoyance

I have a friend who, once her boyfriend is on, IGNORES me.
She talks, then she'll put me on hold.
The only she talked to me, anytime since they got together, is 'cause he hadn't been on due to being sick.

Which is not fair, since it's rude.
She cannot handle multi-tasking, so it means I am left to my lonesomeness.
(I don't have many friends, nor the ability to befriend easily. I'm Socially Awkward.)

I do not like being ignored, especially when the person's supposedly my best friend.
She's having fun, while I'm in the dark.
She finally talks to me, he gets on, she puts the call on hold, and I'm left alone.

Tears formed in my eyes, from the rudeness.
I already know that once we're out of High School (we Graduate this June)...
We won't be friends, anymore.

The same goes for the rest of my High School Friends.
I might be used to them, but I already feel us drifting apart.
Which is sad, since I only have about three friends that I actually consider a "friend".
(It takes a long time, for me to form a "friend", to my standards. I need to be used to them.)

In any case, I pretty much know that I'll be lonely for the majority of my life.
I don't have it in me, to tell people to do things so that I'm not lonely.
I'm Socially Awkward, no matter what.

...
Dangit.
My life's gonna suck.
