Hello, Everyone, Long Time No See!

This going to be a tl;dr, so you can ignore this if you want, haha >_<

When people say that your junior year of high school is the hardest, they really mean it. I have two AP classes to deal with (AP Language and Composition, good class, lots of work, and AP economics, which is confusing), along with marching band and Japanese class. I'm taking Japanese class at my local community college this year, which is on wednesdays, one of my previous free-er days to write reviews. The class is great, and I just took the exam for Japanese I (talking II next semester), so I'll have a couple free wednesdays. Although it is time consuming, Japanese class is definitely helping me understand non-subbed Hello! Project stuff more, so I am grateful to be able to take that class.

Technically, Marching band should be over. We won state this year, yayyyy. You can watch the performance here if you want: http://www.sagacioustechnologies.com/lhsband/ The reason marching band isn't over though, is because we are going to the Fiesta Bowl Marching Competition in Arizona over winter break. I am really excited about it, and it shouldn't leave me all stressed, but I am (Airplane ride, people who have never riden an airplane before, all the information to get across...keeping the marching show stuck in our head). I was hoping this winter break I would be able to get caught up, but 1. I am going to Arizona, so I wont have access to a computer 2. I am probably going to be in detroit with my family beforehand, where there isn't great internet.... After break is midterm exams...and then I'll have to start doing things for my high schools musical production (Beauty and The Beast; I'm doing make up, masks, and hair) and start studying for the Michigan Merit Exam and the ACT. SOOOO, what I could have said was "I have a really busy life right now, so don't be surprised if I don't post at all!" but I'm pretty sure everyone has expected that of me now. But it felt good to  type out all the things I have to do. I guess I'm on a hiatus (I'm sad about it, though you might not be, haha) so don't expect regular posts until like..June :(

Before I get on to High-King...
-I like Pepper Keibu. I like the color green they are wearing, and I like the Reina. Hello! Project never fails me with covers of songs, so I am highly anticapting recieving Aka Yuu for Christmas.
-Madayade's song isn't amazing, but the choreography and the PV are a lot of fun (Yay Secretary Berryz!)
-LOVE FOREVER is a good...except...why does the song loose the serious-sound at the lyrics. Its like "Now the song is cute!...And kind of tropical sounding, somehow." I love their outfits, except for Kanna's Plaid...overalls?
-Buono! is probably my favorite group within Hello! Project right now. Despite the PV being minimalistic, it fits the 50's-60's theme. Rottara! Rottara! is great, and Momoko is still my favorite!
-Hangry & Angry is a strange name for a brand of clothes... "I'm so angry I'm going to eat my clothes!" is what I think. The song is catchy and likeable...the PV is kinda too...strange for my tastes, though...
-HALCALI's new single, Long Kiss Good Bye, is the new song I heard at their concert at Anime Central. I like the song a lot. The PV is meh, though.
(I like all of these things -_____-, why did I single out high-king? Because I had started something on it a while ago, and I didn't want to just throw it away)

On with High-King!

I love this group. Three leaders, Reina, and an Egg? I was a bit wary of Maeda Yuuka, as I am of all eggs, since I am generally unaware of their existence until something big happens like this! But I found myself liking Maeda. her voice is cute and young, but she doesn't sound out of place with the older members of High-King. It makes me sad that they wont get another single, but the greatness of Cinderella Complex leaves me satisfied. Its an upbeat song with a danceable tune that I really enjoy. The choreography is actually pretty difficult! I am impressed that the girls did the dance so flawlessly. Reina is featured in this group, so that might be why I like it so much, haha. I feel like she has a cute and cool character in this PV, which fits the song well. Saki, Maimi, and Maeda do a good job also! Ai is always amazing, her vocals add to the song so much! Now that I'm listening to Kioku no Meiro again....I think I like this song more. It shows off all of the girls voices equally, and blends them to create a great song. I'm sorry that this was quite incoherent, it expresses the stress I have right now -_-.

A++!
