SNSD Hello Baby X-File 21 featuring the seen-nowhere-else SeoHyun and HyoYeon. Roomies. =) I guess they decided to put KyungSan in the other car in the trip from the amusement park to the pension? Also, chatty!Hyo. I wonder if this is how she talks up their manager-oppas when they're driving (in this case, Gil is driving).

I've been following the viewing numbers of the Goobne CF videos on prot's account since the CF came out. (I think prot is one of the faster uploaders known by SNSD fans and tends to be linked to often on outside sites.) I was shocked to see today that HyoYeon is no longer in last place for number of views as she had been the past few days running, managing to overtake (surprise, surprise) Sunny and SooYoung--and not really by much. (I'm not too shocked by HyoYeon doing well in viewership here because--now this really is a surprise--she possibly got the most face time in this CF. She's often prominently flanking the other members in their individual CFs. In fact, the director's decision to
group them like they did in the one group shot means that HyoYeon was center for a glorious second! Wait, I lied, I think TaeYeon got the most face time--she's everywhere!--but Hyo got a lot more than any of her fans would've expected!)
Then I was completely blown away by the outlier that YoonA has become. There have been more views (not more people, per se, but views) of YoonA's individual version than of the group version. SeoHyun definitely has a sleeper fandom, as she's basically on the same level as YuRi in number of views here, and it helps that she was so awesomely out-there in her individual CF. And, again, I'm kind of surprised at Yul's numbers. I always expect her to bring in more numbers relative to the others than she does, especially since she was pandering so much in this CF with the sexy looks and dancing. Hrm. TaeYeon and Jessica are also showing their popularity here, with the other surprise coming from Tiffany not putting up similar numbers. This may be because Fany's version isn't . . . well, to be blunt, it's not as fun as the others. Not as much energy, not as much action, almost usurped by Jessica. Though you'd think the JeTi would boost the numbers.

Updated numbers 12.03.2009. Now it looks more like what it should.]

Kaleido Star,
Uchuu no Stellvia - TV Tropes totally made me go back and watch parts of these. I'd totally forgotten I'd watched Stellvia.
