Lady Gaga does not hide her love of fashion, so it is nice to see that she will get the chance to write about it in a magazine. V Magazine has hired Gaga to write for their upcoming summer issue’s fashion column. Here is what Gaga tweeted about the news.

Are you happy that Lady Gaga gets a chance to write about fashion now? I wonder if she will wind up designing her own fashion line? Or at least team up with a bigger label for a smaller collection? She clearly adores fashion, so I don’t see why she won’t end up one day designing her own line.

Are you planning to buy the magazine to see what she wrote? I have a feeling that it won’t be long until she publishes a book about her fashion tips. She could quickly become as a well of known fashion icon as Victoria Beckham.

Hi blog! It's been a while!! A REALLY REALLY LONG WHILE!!
Coupled with being super busy, both of us bananas have been quite un-motivated when it comes to blogging. Hello Project just hasn't been that interesting lately!

BUT!!...

I found this chart today and have been staring at it for a really long time.
I.IS.SO.INTERESTING!!

SERIOUSLY!!



This chart is a survey asking every Hello!Project member to rank their favourite members in a given category.
My japanese sucks and I can pretty much only read katakana, so I was able to make out the first 6 questions and vaguely guess the rest.

The first question, directly underneath the member photos asks them to pick a few members to make their own unit and also give the unit a name. It's really interesting to see who each member picks!

Q1
Every member was picked for at least one unit.

Takahashi Ai picked Kamei Eri and Shimizu Saki for her unit called E.A.S. H!P's three best dancers! This was interesting because the three of them actually performed a song together in one of the Hello Project concerts.
Mitsui Aika picked only Maimai, which is interesting. I didn't know they were friends. But Maimai didn't pick Mitsui for her unit. LOL.
Chinami only picked Maimi, and Maimi only picked Chinami... is something going on here?
Miya's group only consists of Berryz.
Kumai-chan's group is my favourite. She picked Junjun, Maasa and Maimi and called it DEKAMONI (opposite of MiniMoni, meaning GiantMoni) ZOMGLOL... that is too funny!! XD XD


Question 2 was broken into 6 parts. It surveyed different idol aspects/abilities. I've tallied up the results for each part.
Sorry about the changes in significant figures in each stage. Some members couldn't just pick one, so I had to divide the answer up, so that each part would add up to 25.

Q2-1
Voice:

8.5 Takahashi Ai
5.0 Kamei Eri
4.5 Airi
2.0 Risako
2.0 Linlin
1.0 Chisato
1.0 Maeda Yuuka
1.0 Ogawa Saki

I was surprised so many people like Kamei Eri's voice, and that nobody picked Reina.
Other than that, the results weren't that unexpected. It's funny how our resident soloist was nowhere to be seen either.

Q2-2
Dance:

11.0 Captain
6.00 Takahashi Ai
3.00 Kamei Eri
1.00 Niigaki
1.00 Reina
1.00 Miyabi
1.00 Nakajima Saki
1.00 Airi

Woo, Captain killed this one! I have no idea why Chinami picked Niigaki or why Chisato picked Reina. They were a little out of the blue. Takahashi Ai picking Miya was a bit weird too.

Q2-3
Talk:

10.83 Michishige
5.000 Wada Ayaka
2.000 Junjun
1.500 Momo
1.333 Linlin
1.000 Niigaki
1.000 Kamei Eri
1.000 Maasa
1.000 Mano Vegetable
0.333 Chisato

Dammit Dawa... messing up my significant figures!
The winner of this poll wasn't surprising either. Although runner-up was a little. I donno that much about Wada Ayaka, but I guess the members think she's a pretty good talker!

Q2-4
Character:

3 Michishige
3 Linlin
3 Momo
2 Kamei Eri
2 Miya
2 Chisa
2 Airi
1 Takahashi Ai
1 Junjun
1 Kumai-chan
1 ManoVegetable
1 Wada Ayaka
1 Maeda Yuuka
1 Kanon
1 Ogawa Saki

This question pretty much asks who your favourite H!P member is, right?
VERY VERY surprised that Chinami picked Momo! I always thought she didn't like her!
Momo and Chisa both picked each other! That made me smile! :)

Q2-5
Looks:

6.00 Kumai-chan
3.25 Maeda Yuuka
3.25 Wada Ayaka
3.00 Takahashi Ai
2.00 Miya
1.00 Michishige
1.00 Tanaka Reina
1.00 Linlin!? (lol)
1.00 Shimizu Saki
1.00 Risako
1.00 Nakajima Saki
0.50 Chinami
0.50 Maimi
0.25 Fukuda Kanon
0.25 Ogawa Saki

Wee! Kumai-chan! B.B and I agreed that after her idol career she will definitely be a model! LOL, linlin picked herself and they put the '!?' next to her name!! XD Only Maeda Yuuka picked Michishige so I guess she can't be the number 1 cute leader? Also SO SURPRISED that Kumai-chan picked Captain... that was... really odd...

Q2-6
Fashion Sense:

9.0 Miya
5.5 Takahashi Ai
4.0 Tanaka Reina
1.0 Chinami
1.0 Risako
1.0 Nakajima Saki
1.0 Airi
1.0 Mano Vegetable
1.0 Ogawa Saki
0.5 Kamei Eri

Wow, cool, Miya topped this one! Can't say I know much about each member's individual style, since most of the time when we see them they're in costumes or have been dressed by stylists. But w/e Berryz totally topped 4 out of the 6 questions. yayay!


The rest of the questions i didn't understand 100%, so I won't write about it.
This is already long enough anyway!!

This table is SO interesting! I gotta get B.B to translate the rest of the questions for me! There's some stuff about motherly-feeling, little sisters and boys! I have to know!! lol!

Anyways, hopefully H!P will get more interesting when a few new releases come out, and then I'll blog again!

Magazine Translation Time!

This time, it's B.A.'s favourite Berryz =)
Enjoy!





NATSUYAKI MIYABI

1 - Recently, I've changed my hair color. I love changing how I look, and I'm always looking forward to see how everyone reacts. This time, I've made it darker, so I look more adult-ish. I'm now, used to styling my hair, and used to use hair-extensions, so I love rearranging them, but some fans don't understand what extensions mean, and they'd ask questions like, "do you take them off when you go to bed?". And I'd explain, "No, it's braided in with my hair". I wish this helps to those of you (readers) who wanted to know. lol

2 - Berryz Koubou will be having a Live in Thailand on the 27th of March. We've never had a Live in Thailand yet, so I'm looking forward to see how it's gonna be. And it's been confirmed that we will be having a Tour too. I would like all our fans to look forward to it!


KUMAI YURINA

1 - For our Concert Promotion, Captain, Chinami and myself went to Thailand. We've worn their traditional costumes, and ate Thai food for the first time. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat Thai food. I actually couldn't handle 'Tom Yum Goong' because of the unique taste. But I loved their curry so much that I would want to eat them again when we go their for the actual concert.

2 - On the 3rd of March, we will be releasing our new single. "Otakebi Boy WAO!" is very unique, but the dance is so easy to imitate, so I would like everyone to learn, and "Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" really fits in with this graduation season, and would like everyone to know the importance of a friend!


SUGAYA RISAKO

1 - I will be graduating Middle School soon. My school consists both Primary and Middle school, so I've never experienced having to make new friends. I have few friends who's been my classmate the whole 9 years. We were always together, and soon we'll be apart when we graduate. I never thought about losing ourselves, and it's really sad, but we could catch up whenever we want, and I somehow knew that this day would come. Oh well. lol. But I will definitely cry on my graduation. I can get really teary sometimes. When I've watched the movie called "Boku no Seishun wo Kimi ni Sasagu", I've cried in 2 minutes from the start. lol.

2 - On the 3rd of March, double A-sided single, "Otakebi Boy WAO!/Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" will be released. I'm so happy to release it on the day of our debut. Please listen to it!


SHIMIZU SAKI

1 - I will be graduating High School. Only few days left of wearing a uniform. If you think about it that way, I feel like wearing it all the time. lol. Because I don't want people to say, "cosplay". lol. So recently, I've been enjoying wearing uniforms. And my school life too. Because you know, you can only go through High school once in a life time. So, I'm enjoying being a High School Girl! But it's really sad to graduate. You know, Risako's just getting ready to enter High School! Oh well, I guess I'll be having more time for myself, so I'll be focusing on my work and do my best!

2 - On the 3rd of March, for our 6th Year's Anniversary, we will be releasing our 22nd single, "Otakebi Boy WAO!/Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda". Again, it's a double A-sided, and their both different types of music, so hopefully people will enjoy them both. And it's been confirmed that we will be having our Concert Tour, so we are going to do our best and look forward to it!


TSUGUNAGA MOMOKO

1 - Umm~... On the 6th of March, I will be turning 18 (so depressed! lol) It's not that I don't want to be 18, because honestly, I do want to go eat dinner and be part of the conversation with the adults. So, I want to be 20 soon, but I just don't want to age.... But there's no way to avoid that. lol. I will also be graduating from High School, so I would like to take this chance to say thank you to those who took care of me, and those involved. I also want to learn how to talk like an adult, learn adult's manners, and how to deal like an adult! lol

2 - On the 31st of March, our 6th album "Otakebi ALBUM" will be releasing. My favourite song from the album is, "Kimi no Tomodachi". At first, I thought it was a good song, what a wonderful song, but then during the instrumental bit, it's soo Berryz Koubou!, so please look forward to it!


TOKUNAGA CHINAMI

1 - Recently, I've been caring more about food for my health. When you go to studio's for work, most of the time it's obento, so when I get home, I try to eat more vegetables. When I was younger, I didn't really care much, but now, I'm trying to take care of my body more.

2 - Berry Koubou will be facing our 6th Year Anniversary on the 3rd of March. And will be releasing our album on the 31st of March. I usually feel that I've grown up when I look back at old magazines, but I feel more grown when I listen to albums since it we don't have them that often. There are a lot of varieties in this album, so I would like everyone to enjoy it, and feel how we've grown up!


SUDOU MAASA

1 - I love bread, and usually I get attracted by the yummy smell and end up in a bakery. I sometimes do buy, or don't buy, but I'm into going to different bakeries at the moment. I would like to bake a bread myself. I think it's pretty hard, but since I've been appealing so much about it, I thought I should learn how to make it soon. lol.
I've acted as the main role in the movie called, "Light Novel no Tanoshii Kaki Kata". I'm still an amateur in acting, but the storyline is very interesting, so I would like everyone to watch it.

2 - Berryz Koubou's new single will be releasing on the 3rd of March, right on the day of our debut. "Otakebi Boy WAO!" is an ending song for the anime called, "Inazuma Eleven" and the song really suits the anime, and "Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" really tells you the importance of a friend in life, so I would like everyone to enjoy listening to it!
