Change is good.
Unless it’s a change to something worse.
There’s really no way for this blog to straighten itself out at this point. It’s really been morphing into something else, and now H!P plans to graduate all of it’s elder members. Not gonna be all dramatic, but I started this talking about H!P stuff, then I figured I’d talk about other shit that I like, wondering if I can tie all of it together in a way that makes sense. Not easy, but without the elder members, I don’t think it’s possible at all. I was looking forward to talking more about HANGRY & ANGRY, which was something totally different, and just one example of what could be done with these older girls who (you can’t deny) mostly don’t do that much anymore, most of them. (Not their fault?) Hopefully they want to keep doing stuff and can do it elsewhere, like Kago.
Hey, Kago. There’s something else to talk about. I’m so distracted with stuff I can’t even write what I care about here. Just starting another one. I didn’t like the name anyway, and I think I’ve reached more of a style which I was really just working on developing before and it’s been a bit of a mess.
So, still for 2009, gonna work on other stuff. New start for me, new start for these girls. I think it’ll be good for everybody (except H!P). I didn’t really care about idols before Morning Musume, and no other groups have replaced them in my opinion. And with Momusu doing Pink Lady covers (which is…ok), and with Berryz doing remixes of covers (which are…kinda cool, but still) and with the my favorite group left in H!P being Buono, which Tsunku does not write for…I gotta say, it was a great ride Tsunks but you lost me. I’m gonna come back and do full reviews of all those Tsunku/MM albums I still think are classics and maybe we can all learn something. Maybe not, I’m doing it anyway. Next year.
In conclusion, Yossy is great.

Change is needed — but not at the speed of light.

Yeah, Rocky, in this case. The title was just making fun of McCain. I really can’t think until this election thing is over.

Well, the mass forced graduation is sad, I hope a new blog isn’t sad. Not deleting this one.
This thing reminded me how the girls have almost no control over their careers working for these agencies. I love them as performers, but it’s weird to be looking up to them.

Yeah, I don’t care about the bullshit anymore. Maybe they did plan it themselves, I don’t care. They made some good records, did some fun stuff. Some good people left in it, maybe there’s some more good records, I’ll talk about the records. I been sucked into this soap opera aspect of the thing for a year and change now but it’s the total opposite of everything I’ve ever cared about previously. Fuck it, I’m glad. Everyone’s still great, and good luck and all but I’m glad I don’t feel like writing about it anymore.

Not sure how ironic people will take the title of this article now, but I think it’s a way better blog name.
