You knew it wouldn’t be very long before Maimichan’s “Pure Eyes” shashinshuu off-shots surfaced via the long running H!P digital photo books series. YES you too can be puzzled and amazed at how all of these beautiful photos found their way onto the cutting room floor missing the cut and how Maimi-chan’s shashinshuu really had the potential of being the very first phone book sized idol pictorial ^^.

Really you could ponder the lot of these as being most shashinshuu worthy and for me personally especially this shot in particular ^^.

I think of Maimichan as the model in the group, just her facial features and charm is all it takes to convince me =).

Incredible. Really lovely photos, with some lovely atmosphere. My favourites are the ones in the florals dungarees, especially when she’s cross-legged on the chair and scan 50, a couple after that. All very beautiful though. Thank you for scanning!

Her two piece black mizugi as she’s upon black sand shores is quite magical ~*..just the combination even as simple as it sounds just works perfectly….now that sounds simple minded =P. Those are a cute selection of photos and if you’re not familiar with her early years as a H!P Kid getting her first big break you may even find it difficult to imagine she’s even in this episode clip…plus this episode is quite funny too!:

I really adored ZYX and their songs were soooo catchy♥….too bad they had such a brief time together =/.

Love that Utaban clip. (Ah, if only Yaguchi’s solo career had lasted longer than it did…) ZYX very catchy, yes, and again, so brief. I wonder who decides when a subgroup should end. S/mileage, for example, might possibly have been axed after a couple of singles, but they were retained. It can’t just be down to record sales, can it?

And yes, Maimi’s grown up beautifully since those early appearances.
By the way, I couldn’t find your post giving your reasons for dropping the ‘like’ button.

Maimichan really did that an awkward stage for just a little bit….lol and I’m really one to talk…haha my entire life’s been awkward =P!

What’s great is that Marippe did have a few projects after H!P playing as host too =). ZYX really could have been kept on much longer I agree as I thought they had a special chemistry going for them will all of the youth in the group and with such a tiny and capable leader what could be better…plus their songs♥ were wonderfully written too. Hmm…I’m guessing it’s not always a matter of sales alone although that would be a driving reason to keep a unit going no doubt and with S/mileage they just lost my attention after Yuukarin graduated and really their very first singles I thought were their catchiest too =).
Oh and did you know of Air Band?…they had an awesome release with Marippe awhile back!!!

I missed this comment earlier…No, I don’t know of the Air Band release. I’ll be sure to check it out, though. S/mlieage very catchy, yes, and I have the first few singles, but after a while they began to sound a little bit underwhelming, knowing what Tsunku is capable of when he’s at full stretch. Incidentally, do you know how Tsunku’s getting on? I assume he’s well into his treatment by now.
I’ve just spent the past hour or so riding on Japanese trains…Not in real life, of course (hopefully one day…) but courtesy of YouTube. (A diversion from writing, or rather re-writing, which is going pretty badly these days.)

I thought that their early singles beginning with their indies releases were great and especially their major debut single which actually became my song of the year back in 2009 (ahh I used to do one of these posts at the end of every year)….

And then there was that special single with Oha Girl Maple♥:

But I too lost interest, still saddens me that Yuukarin♥ graduated so unexpectedly and so soon =(.
I was just reading through Tsunku’s most recent posts on his official blog and he speaks a lot about his projects and the groups and a few campaigns and mentions here and there that he’s doing fine but I didn’t reach any post specifically about his health regarding his diagnosis. He does write as if in good spirits ~* so I really hope it’s true and that he’s not trying to worry anyone.
Oh those are really cool, I remember you were sharing train ride alongs a short while back as people post so many videos of their trips where you can watch the scenery whiz by as they’ve experienced it =). It’s a relaxing vision for sure and you’re a great writer so I’m sure your creativity will shine ~* ^^.
I’ll be reviving Air Band soon, right after I return =).
