Questions from sunaneko
Biggest H!P bias, and why? (and not just 'she's cute!')
I have to go with Sayu because she's cute. XDD, really though, I like her personality. If I knew her IRL, I'd want to be her friend. I like how she's successful on TV shows and being a variety star is something other active Momusu members haven't really done. I kind of like her voice in recordings also. And she tries in lives, but still obviously sucks...I think her dancing has improved though. She's also my first favorite, so that's where my bias lies.
If you could pick any foreign song for any H!P act to cover, what would it be?
Hmm. This is a good question. Wait, what do you mean by foreign? Like Japanese foreign or foreign to Japanese? I think you mean the latter so I'll just go with that. I'd have to pick something electronic since Pira! Otome no Negai & Okii Hitomi are pretty awesome. I pick the song "Not Fair" by Lily Allen, but the Annie Nightingale & Too Far Remix of it. It's funnnn and it would allow for some more Emomusu. I think C-ute could do it too as long as Maimi doesn't sing any of the lines.
If you could plan a joint stage with any Jpop and Kpop group, then what would it be?
Tough. I wanted to pick 4minute but I don't think any H!P group would look good on the same stage as them..therefore I'm going with Kara with Momusu because Aichan & Linlin sort of already know the dance to Mister. For a Momusu song I'd pick Mikan 'cause I think it fits.
What negative influence (if any) do you think H!P's songs have on the current feminist movements in Japan, and the overall self esteem and views of onself concerning young, Japanese, female fans?
Err..honestly I don't know much/anything about the current feminist movements in Japan. But I don't think that idols have the ability to aid any sort of feminist movement due to the fact that as idols, they're completely objectified. Their main fans are older men who support them by buying mass singles, photocards, and microfiber towels. It almost sends the image that the idols need the men to support and protect them. They can't be idols without them, so therefore they're not independent and not helping feminists.
Who do you think the next graduate will be?
I think the next graduation will probably be joint Aichan & Gaki. They're both pretty old and since new, young members are getting added they won't really fit in. I don't think it'll be for a while though. This would make Sayumi the leader which I also can't see happening..but I don't think H!P is in the position to graduate her due to the PR weapon that she is. Obviously Reina will be staying because she's been begging to be the leader for years and she's a front girl and not too old. I guess Aika would stay too because she's young. If it were up to me, I'd want a joint Gaki & Aika graduation..but it's obviously not. xD
Thanks for the questions!~
