I'm back from my trip to Hawaii! I made two trips to the internet this past week, saw that several new things were introduced, uploaded, etc, and just turned of the computer....it was so much to take in. I was on vacation! Sometimes I even need a break from Hello! Project Craziness. But, I am back to Michigan and have caught up with all of the Hello! Project News.
Before I start the actual quick-review-comments, I would like to thank Morningberryz for his big help on ideas of where
to go in Hawaii! With his advice I went to the Ala Moana mall, which had a store called Shirokiya. It had Morning Musume Albums (all but Rainbow 7) :D I bought Morning Musume's 4th album...I downloaded it a while back and decided to legalize it! I ended up staying in Turtle Bay, which is 20 minutes from North Shore, a smallish shopping center that Aichan and Reina apparently went to when shooting their Alo Hello! DVD's/Photobooks. It was a fun, amusing little town. I went there about 5 times, since everything else was an hour away :P. Thank you Morningberryz so much for your help! I had a great time!
A few things I shall comment on..
Kago's Interview: Its good to see Kago back! Its good that she's apologizing and explaining what happened and their effects. To clear things up! It was really depressing to hear the she was so depressed she cut her self and had thoughts of suicide. I'm glad that she seems better. Hopefully we'll have some sort of a comeback!
Reina getting a role in an anime: A hello kitty-style anime? *sigh* Hello! Project needs to get involved in anime more than just kiddie anime. That way they can get a few more older fans, not just the 1-10 year olds.
Hello! Style (that is what its called, right?): Hm, new group. A way to use the Kansai Girls? And with Arisa <3! Hopefully they'll come out with a single or two.
Namida no Iro PV = C-ute Godzilla.
'Nuff said on that for now.
I have an extra copy of the Morning Musume 10th Anniversary All Singles Complete Album. It was given to me by my parents for Christmas, but my boyfriend had given me my copy a day earlier XD. My extra copy has never been opened, and I'm interested in selling it..My guess is a lot of people already have it, so I would like to have a contest/drawing and give it away, but my parents aren't too fond of the idea. So for now (I might have a contest anyway) I don't have a price. If you are interested in receiving it, leave a comment or email me at ketsuekitsubasa@gmail.com! Thanks :D

Halcali is coming to Anime Central this year!
You can read about it here:

This excites me so much :D I have been waiting impatiently for them to announce the artists who were coming to anime central this year!
As you can probably tell, I'm going to anime central. I went last year, when High and Mighty Color was there, but I didn't go see them due to a "No bags in the concert hall" rule. I didn't have a hotel room or anything, and I wasn't about to just set down my bag, soooo we (me and my friends) didn't go to it. I did get some old Morning Musume stuff at the vendors, like their Koi no Dance Site single (they also had Mr. Moonlight and Jankenpyon by Minimoni. I didn't buy those, unfortunately) and their Hamilton Island photobook (yay, Golden Era).
This year I'm cosplaying as C.C. from Code: Geass. I'm not sure how thats going to work, since I have short hair now (modeled after Takahashi Ai), but hopefully it will be okay in the end.
So, I've (sort of) spread the news, expect that third part to my "Focus on Halcali" posts fairly soon! I got caught up in my homework so much that I almost forgot! I'm sorry! Expect it soon :D
I just recently read the news about the new Hello! Project unit, Buono. The members in the unit are Tsunaga Momoko, Natsuyaki Miyabi, and Suzuki Airi. They will be will be working with the anime Shugo!Chara. Sweet, a new unit.
Wait.
What?
Shugo!Chara!? You mean PEACH-PIT's Shugo!Chara? You mean that manga that I bought just because I thought it might be good and turned out to be amazing for a Magical-Girl Manga?
And Miyabi, Momoko, and Suzuki are working with it? I don't know whether they will be voice acting and/or doing the opening and/or ending to the anime, but I'm excited. I will wait patiently for more news on the unit/anime...
For those who don't know, PEACH-PIT are a manga-making duo (female) who have also created DearS, Rozen Maiden, and Zombie Loan (My boyfriend has seen all of them...at least what there is of Zombie Loan...which is kind of sad considering I've only seen DearS and read volume one of Rozen Maiden.). They are kind of like almost trying to be CLAMP (Card Captor Sakura, Chobits)...as their first manga/anime had the basis of Chobits...Shugo! Chara is a lot like Card Captor Sakura at times.
But anyway, enough of my rambling. Just be excited with me too....!
I'm happy for her. Its not like a "Oh-my-god-you-nineteen-what-are-you-thinking!?"-Tsuji thing...She's twenty-six. Its not too surprising that she would like to start a family. I just hope that she will consider returning to the music industry...even if she doesn't do a whole lot. She was an important figure for Morning Musume, being leader for a very long time. Even though she never really got the spotlight and such...she was kind of a mothering character and helped the other members grow into who they are now. So, while she wont be noticed for a while, she wasn't really noticed anyway, and I hope she is happy with her husband and soon-to-come baby.
Not too surprising, but a nice small surprise after all of the scandals that went down.
