Can't believe it's been 10 years since they all started up.<br /><br />Both Oshima and Maeda have gone on to bigger and hopefully better things. It looks like with Hello Project/Johnny's grads, the tarento ranks will not run out of members for decades to come.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-59173150113410866262015-05-27T16:45:17.405-04:002015-05-27T16:45:17.405-04:00Hi, J-Canuck.

It truly stands out as a great aidoru song with the catchy chorus full of cute english lines. I always feel like they are telling those lines directly to the random aidoru fan who is listening to them.<br /><br />Personally, I took a long time to like the song. I can say I like it now, but it still isn't one of my favorites (I think it'll never be, to be honest), but I especially enjoy it when AKB48 performs it live (really live) with a full band (they did it twice during some FNS specials, if I'm not mistaken).<br /><br />Also, the beautiful Yuko Ooshima (her graduation was a big loss to the group) was the center girl for this release. It was a big thing at the time, because it was the first time someone winned over Maeda Atsuko in the elections.<br /><br />As for this year's elections, I wish Rino Sashihara (center girl for "Koisuru Fortune Cookie") wins over Mayu Watanabe again, just like she did in 2013.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.com
