  1. The One In Which Reina Discusses Dead Rock Stars And Whippets

    November 27, 2007 by CJ Marsicano

    reina_t_1111: Hey Ceej.
    minimoniotaku: Hi Reina.
    reina_t_1111: A lot of excitement this past weekend, huh?
    minimoniotaku: I think I know what you’re referring to.
    reina_t_1111: You mean Nono having her little UltraTsuji on Monday morning?
    minimoniotaku: Yeah, that was some nice news for once.
    reina_t_1111: Tell me about it. I heard about Casey from Hawthorne Heights dying in his sleep. HH aren’t having the greatest year, are they?
    minimoniotaku: No, they’re not.
    reina_t_1111: I heard he had asthma, that might have had something to do with it.
    minimoniotaku: It’s likely. No one knows what the cause was outside of “anything illegal” being ruled out.
    reina_t_1111: What a shame. I know you liked their last album.
    minimoniotaku: Yeah, and I missed them on Warped Tour this year, I should really be kicking myself now.
    reina_t_1111: Did you ever listen to Quiet Riot when you were younger?
    minimoniotaku: Good lord, ancient history! I have enough grey hairs as it is!!
    reina_t_1111: Shaddap, Richard Gere has grey hair and the girls still want him.
    reina_t_1111: Your pal Mike Watt has grey hair and he’s still a badass, same thing with your hero Rollins.
    minimoniotaku: Why’d you bring up Quiet Riot?
    reina_t_1111: Their lead singer was found dead last night.
    minimoniotaku: Damn. How old and what from?
    reina_t_1111: 52, and they don’t know yet.
    minimoniotaku: I don’t think Rock & Roll Heaven needed any hair metal musicians that badly.
    reina_t_1111: CJ!!!!!!! That was mean! :(
    minimoniotaku: I kid.
    reina_t_1111: If I go through your old record albums, will I find a copy of Metal Health amongst all your Black Flag and Minutemen albums?
    minimoniotaku: Guilty as charged. Condition Critical is there too.
    reina_t_1111: Haha.
    minimoniotaku: Shaddap, or I’ll come over there and spank you.
    reina_t_1111: Promises, promises. Did you see this week’s HaroMoni?
    minimoniotaku: I’ve hardly been watching ANY TV lately. The writing, remember?
    reina_t_1111: Phew.
    minimoniotaku: What’s the sigh of relief for?
    reina_t_1111: I was so afraid that you were going to bitch me out for what I did on this week’s episode.
    minimoniotaku: What are you talking about, Rei?
    reina_t_1111: The auditions for that cat character on Koharu’s anime. They had us do Whippets when we were doing our auditions for the voiceover role.
    minimoniotaku: Oh that. I’m not even worried. It was just for that instance, right?
    reina_t_1111: Yeah.
    minimoniotaku: Reina, you’re not the first person who’s done helium and immediately started talking like Alvin & The Chipmunks, don’t even sweat it.
    reina_t_1111: Yeah, but look at this screen cap from the episode that’s already online:

    reina_t_1111: I look like I’m going to hurl. Upchuck. Call Ralph on the porcelain phone.
    minimoniotaku: *hugs*
    reina_t_1111: Thanks, hun.
    minimoniotaku: Someday you’ll look back on that picture and laugh.
    reina_t_1111: Am I getting too old for the cat ears?
    minimoniotaku: No, but I’m too young to be getting junk mail from goddamn AARP!
    reina_t_1111: AARP?! But you’re only 22 years older than I am! You make it sound like they think you graduated Bedrock High School in the same class as Keith Richards.
    minimoniotaku: Very funny.
    reina_t_1111: I try. ;)


  2. Thank goodness for podcasts and trackers…

    reina_t_1111: You weren’t online all day. I thought you had the day off today?
    minimoniotaku: Tell my boss that.
    reina_t_1111: Oh, shit! I’m afraid to ask.
    minimoniotaku: 12 hours of my life that I’ll never get back ’cause of him… if it weren’t for having H!P on shuffle on my iPod, my boss would be lying in a pool of blood in his new house.
    reina_t_1111: Well, I’m glad to be of service in that department, but Jesus Christ, Ceej, watch what you say – you wouldn’t want him to see this, now would you?
    minimoniotaku: You know what I mean. He’s just a walking frustration.
    reina_t_1111: That bad, huh?
    minimoniotaku: Awful. But ON/OFF switches confuse him so there’s no danger of him ever owning a computer.
    reina_t_1111: Say no more. Speaking of the Internet, today’s Five Stars is up on H!O’s tracker now.
    minimoniotaku: I’m glad, it wasn’t up this morning.
    reina_t_1111: Why don’t you put a download of it up on the site?
    minimoniotaku: I think I will.
    reina_t_1111: Good idea.
    minimoniotaku: I should review this show though.
    reina_t_1111: You’re all burnt out from today. Save the review for later.
    minimoniotaku: OK.
    reina_t_1111: Don’t forget the playlist!

    Morning Musume – Mikan
    Judy & Mary – Classic
    Backstreet Boys – I Want It That Way
    Takui Nakajima – CRY CRY CRY
    Morning Musume – Bonkyu! Bonkyu! BOMB GIRL

  3. Under Lock And Key

    November 21, 2007 by CJ Marsicano

    reina_t_1111: Hey you, Happy Thanksgiving Eve. I hear your hometown got snowed on the other day.
    minimoniotaku: How did you hear that?
    reina_t_1111: US Weather Channel website, duh.
    minimoniotaku: Well, it melted most of today and the rest should be gone tomorrow.
    reina_t_1111: Aw, damn it, I was hoping to come over and make snow angels in your back yard. ^__^
    reina_t_1111: What’s the story on the “Mikan” review?
    minimoniotaku: I just DLed the single from iTunes late Tuesday night.
    reina_t_1111: A Plan B for if you don’t get to the post office on Wednesday?
    minimoniotaku: Yeah, not to mention, I don’t think they shipped it until Tuesday morning.
    reina_t_1111: You play it?
    minimoniotaku: Another fine single from Morning Musume. I’ll have something on the main blog in the next day or so.
    reina_t_1111: Good. Now, Mr. “I Need To Get 50,000 Words For NaNoWriMo Again”, what about the worship blog?
    minimoniotaku: Got a new pic I can use?
    reina_t_1111: Here, try this one.

    minimoniotaku: No, seriously, what’s with the lock?
    reina_t_1111: Well, I am wearing a key in one of those older worship posts on MotokoAoyama.com, so… ;)
    reina_t_1111: Oh, and CJ?
    minimoniotaku: Yeah, Wonkylicious?
    reina_t_1111: Be glad this lock ain’t on a chastity belt, haha.
    minimoniotaku: o_O
    reina_t_1111: Touché.


  4. Follow The Bouncing Reina

    November 13, 2007 by CJ Marsicano

    Another clip previously posted at MotokoAoyama.com v1.0, this is simply a single camera angle focused on Her Royal Hotness as Morning Musume performs “Do It! Now” during the Wonderful Hearts tour earlier this year. As if any Tanakachii fan wouldn’t be keeping their eyes on their favorite MoMusu for the entire concert!

    And of course, as I noted when I posted this at Stuck In A Pagoda before, Reina’s vocals are LIVE, not lipsynced…


  5. Reina’s Solo Video Debut…

    November 12, 2007 by CJ Marsicano

    Fellow Tanakachii fan and blogging brother at YODC, Langdon Alger, posted this clip of Reina being interviewed by fellow MoMusu Risa Niigaki on Hello Pro Hour.

    This interview apparently preceded this clip that I posted on MotokoAoyama.com v1.0 (RIP) earlier this year, where Reina covers Country Musume’s “Irroppoi Onna SEXY BABY” with a live band.

    In closing… much thanks to Drifoy for the shoutout regarding this “combustible” fan blog. Gee, I thought it was because Reina ate a lot of habaneros…


  6. Happy Birthday, Reina!

    November 11, 2007 by CJ Marsicano

    Her Royal Hotness, The Wonkylicious Sex Bomb, the woman my girlfriend is probably the most jealous of, and most of all my favorite MoMusu, Reina Tanaka, is finally legal! So I couldn’t think of a better thing to do than start a fan blog. Is it me, or is Reina becoming America’s favorite MoMusu?

    And I would be remiss if I didn’t include Drifoy’s righteous magazine cover spoof (which he created for the occasion and first posted at his own Tanakachii Mosque):
