Gah, it's been far too long since I updated this!! I've been distracted by Blabodu and fighting with my internet. But all is good now with my net (I got it fixed, YES), and I just started my two weeks layoff from work! So I will have oodles of free time to blog!

I will try my best to split it up between my three blogs, cause I love them all. Even though I adore talking about dubbing-stuff, I want to keep learning more about H!P & AKB48. *nukes a burrito* I am so hungry right now, I need food for energy so I can blog blog blog~ It's only around 8:30, but if I sit still for too long, I get close to falling asleep. NUH, it's too early for that.

First things first; HOMG I MISSED KANON'S BIRTHDAY! Gomennasai!

Looks Up To: Abe Natsumi

She seems like a very strawberry lovin' girl. LOL, Nacchi would be who she looks up to. I know Natsumi isn't all bad, but I just didn't like her early Momusu days. She is an experienced performer, so I can see why Kanon would look up to her.
Maeda Irori and Tanabe Nanami I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to! Time for more Egg-ness~ I was thinking about this today while reading about the H!P Eggs, and my likes and dislikes have changed some. As you can see, these two have gone nowhere but to the top.

I have come to completely adore Irori's voice, it's so sweet! Not only in SCE, but also in the concerts I've heard her in. And she's so cute! FINALLY, I got to hear Tanabe Nanami. I knew that I was hearing her in the new Shugo Chara Egg's song 'Arigatou ~Ookiku Kansha!~' (which I love), but I wasn't sure when she was singing.

But thanks to helpful projecthello.com's color coded lyrics I've got it figured out. Nana always sings the second line of the verse, and Irori always has the last line. So if you're listening to the song, Nana's first is at 0:27, and Irori's is at 0:38. These are probably my faves right now.

However, my opinions on Enna and Anchan stay the same. As of now, I like them more than Assu, but that's mainly because I haven't had an awesome example of Assu's vocals. We'll wait and see! As for the first two, going back to their before mentioned solo lines (Anchan @0:42&0:56 - Enna @4:29&6:38), I still like them a lot.

Annchan should smile more, but I think she sounded fabulous! And Enna has awesome stage presence!! She is so happy/smiley and energetic! The best things to be when in front of thousands of people, lol. I like the cuteness to her voice too.

I'm still rooting for Assu. I really like her low voice. She could use a little improvement in some areas, but that's a part of being an egg. And I finally got a good listen of Takechan's voice! I don't care very much for Minimoni's style of songs, but I think Takechan is pretty good. I think out of the six eggs so far, she is towards the bottom, just cause I like the others more.

Sekine Azusa. An egg that I have thus far overlooked. I'm sorry, Sekkii! I passed over her, I think mostly because I couldn't find a good video of her performing. But! I luckily found one through a blog, and so I now totally agree with what Celestia from Bikkuri Project said, "One of the best singers of the Eggs, but hasn’t gotten much attention so far." She also rated Sekkii a 10/10 for singing. Have a listen! (0:49, 1:03, 2:08)



I was blown away by Azusa's stage presence!! She comes off sounding and looking like she's been doing it for years! And she's only freaking 13! Great energy, wonderful smile, peppy dancing, and amazing vocals. I really like her a lot. Though I must say, when I first saw this picture of her, she reminded me of Takamina from AKB48's Team A a lot!

So, as I was reading Bikkuri Project blog, I realized that I am really bad at picking out the cute Eggs. I am drawn to their adorableness. Like, it's cute that they are cute (LOL), but then I hear their voice or see a concert vid they're in and I'm let down. So I shouldn't decide that I really like an egg until I hear them sing~
Sainen Mia is a perfect example. I really think she is cute, in an unique sort of way. But the one concert I heard her in, she could really use some improvement. Stage presence is a big thing for H!P girls, since they do SO much performing. Mia just doesn't have a lot of it. I agree with what Celistia says "Her movements are kind of subdued, and she looks lost a lot of the time, but she does seem to have a nice smile."

Annnnd that's all I have to say on Eggs for now~
