Yes it’s time for a random pics round-up and some scans. So to start off here’s Sayumi in a bad bikini (surely a first) from the front cover of her forthcoming dvd…

To be honest that’s not the best I’ve seen her looking. Normally she’s red hot. Still I’m sure the actual contents of the dvd will more than make up for any front cover disappointments.

Now here’s two from the ‘jobs you’d love to see them do just to see the chaos they’d cause’ series. Yes It’s bus guide Momoko. I reckon the bus would be in a ditch within minutes…

Cute idol in shock cuteness defeat. How could Konkon ever fail to be the cutest thing in a photo? Well…

Yeah the dog won this time. But I think a rematch done today would have a very different outcome.

Everyone’s favourite crackhead has a message for those who don’t see her absolute awesome wonderfulness…

Now two from the ‘jobs you’d love to see them do just so you could sit there with your legs crossed trying to hide your not-technically-a-soft-spot’…

Back to Koharu and you know she really can look stunning. It’s almost easy to forget there’s not a normal person in there sometimes…

Okay idol knowledge time. Everyone point to the cutest idol…

Wrong. You on the end in green you’re pointing the wrong way. You in pink you shouldn’t be pointing anywhere. Just stand there looking cute or alternatively just put your hand up to signify it’s you…

Well done. Okay now someone else have a go…

What? Me? Oh Ogawa you old flirt.

Okay now someone draw me a picture of a USA Klmadanda…

Right…well…I have no idea what one of those is but you’re cute so you can have the points. You win. The prize is to be adopted by the person deemed to be the cutest blogger idol. The judge is Ogawa…oh… What? What do you mean that was a fix? Tsk. Oh very well we’ll appoint a new judge. How about Momoko? Yes? Okay then…

What? Me? Oh Momoko you little flirt. Right Nakkichan start packing your bags. You’re coming to the UK. Have a quick party with your friends…

Quickly audition with Maimi for a part in Abba: The Musical (Japanese version)…

Then come to the UK. But make sure you wear something suitable…

Lovely.

Now two from the ‘jobs you’d love to see them do just so you could sit there with your legs crossed trying to hide your really-seriously-not-really-a-soft-spot-at-all’…

I can’t let a picture post go by without some obligatory Aichan pics so here’s two…

And finally (well it was always a good enough phrase for The News At Ten) here are a few scans. First is this Platinum 9 Disc Kusumi pic…

I love this pic. There’s something about Koharu’s expression and the way she’s holding that flower. It reminds me of…of…Morrissey. It’s The Smiths. She was genki in the haze of a crackhead hour but heaven knows she’s miserable now. Plus of course she does have a hand in glove. To those who get that joke and are groaning all I can say is I don’t owe you anything. Besides writing a post isn’t easy. These things take time. Yes I know…that joke isn’t funny anymore. Ahem. Still you can sympathise with the lyrics to Smiths songs when you like H!P. It’s not so much “I Want the One I Can’t Have”, it’s more I want the several dozen I can’t have and please, please, please let me get want I want. From Yaguchi to Koharu there’s so many beautiful H!P girls. And thinking of those two just goes to show that some girls are bigger than others. Okay, okay I know it’s over. It’s like I started something I couldn’t finish. So I’ll stop by saying that for these idols there is a light that never goes out. Actually on a totally unrelated topic (and stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before) but thinking of The Smiths they had a single called Unhappy Birthday. It’s Ayaya’s in two days.

Okay enough of that nonsense (and does anyone else but me like The Smiths and H!P anyway?) It’s time for the random booklet scans of the post. C-ute dvd singles…

I love Kanna’s Rupert the Bear style. Really though the suits looked far cooler. Lots of legs on display though. Suits hide such things so it’s an ‘is the glass half full or half empty’ type of thing really.

An odd image but it fits the song I guess. Kanna & Airi would share the honours for the worst hat award if it wasn’t for Chisato’s really really stupid hat. Now there have been some utterly ridiculous hats in Hello!Project over the years but that one takes the cake. Not that the cake would fit in it. Somehow Maimi looks good in anything. Although she’s spared the hat horror so that helps. On a side note I really love this song. It’s so catchy and…odd.

A great image for this pv. Nakkichan looks absolutely adorable. Cuteness personified. Presumably she’s a fan of Brad Pitt more than Guy Ritchie. Has there ever been another occasion where H!P have advertised a non-H!P related film? I doubt it. Although it’s slightly more likely than seeing Brad Pitt advertising C-ute (based on his wife he’s more likely advertise a group called S-kank). Nakki’s hat just adds to the cuteness too. Don’t you just want to give her a great big consensual and not-at-all-dodgy-honest-guv hug? Then there’s all the leg on display. Not to mention Maimi in shorts. Oh and I really like Kanna’s hair. It really suits her. Then there’s Umeda’s gangster hat. Now that’s a proper hat. Great styles from a great pv.

So Kanna is seeking true life (I think Monty Python gave the meaning of life. Wasn’t it death or something?) Meanwhile Umeda is having an endless party. Oh and who wears short shorts? Maimi wears short shorts. We even get to see Nakkichan’s legs. I love Kanna’s boots too. Another damn good set of styles from a damn good pv.

Being a fan of H!P is such a chore isn’t it? ♥♥♥
