The big day is here… now that it is officially November 11th here in the USA, we can officially celebrate Reina Tanaka’s 20th Birthday, now that she’s finally “legal” according to Japanese law (two years later than American law… go figure!), as well as the 2nd Anniversary of So Hot She Shits Fire.
While it [...]

My friend and partner at My Sweet Meetan, CK (also of On The Road To Awesome Island and Chuo Dori fame), is on his way back to the US from another trip to Japan as I write this in advance, and he happened to witness Reina’s 20th birthday concert (given that it’s already the 11th [...]

Deciding on what pictures to use for thsi little countdown to Reina’s big day is one of the hardest things about doing this blog because there’s so much good material to choose from. This pic stood up and waved for this post, partly because Reina’s reproduced handwriting on the photo references one of Morning Musume’s [...]

Once thought lost thanks to copyright disputes between YouTube and Universal Music, the infamous video where the trailer to Reina’s Alo! Hello video from 2006 is was set to the equally infamous unedited version of Snoop Dogg/Akon song “I Wanna Love You” came back online a few months ago, once Universal stopped being so tightassed [...]

I don’t know what happened to Drifoy, who used to run 100% Wonkyfied (which he moved from Wordpress to a domain name that has since, regrettably, expired), but some of his OPV tributes to the Wonkylicious One still live on at YouTube, including this piece set to the English version of Edward Chun’s “Give My [...]

Going back to the early days of my Morning Musume fandom, here’s a pic of Reina from the photo/video shoot for “Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago”, scanned from my personal collection. I think Ray Mescallado gave me this photo along with a few other ones from Reina’s early days with the band.

One of the easiest things about doing this site is visual material – there’s plenty of eyecandy of the Wonkylicious One to be found online. Coming up with witty things to say with these pictures is another thing – I’ve probably thrown out more ideas for “dialogue” posts than I have used on here. Not [...]

The temperature is starting to dip and the daytime hours are getting shorter where the TGML/SHSSF/My Sweet Meetan headquarters is located, but what’s a good cure for that? A picture of America’s Favorite Musume in a bikini from the most recent Morning Musume Alo Hello! photo shoot… a wholly appropriate choice for this series as [...]

Things were a bit of a circus for your humble webmaster at his day job, and I almost forgot to post Monday’s installment of this series.
