The results for Paul Thomas’ yearly H!P fan poll are in, and Her Royal Hotness placed third again (behind Takitty and Gaki) in the poll for individual H!P members, and Morning Musume also placed on top in the group poll that he set up this year. Good to see that the mothership is still on [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sorry for being a couple of parts behind. I’ll be making it up in the next 24 hour period. In the meantime…

One of the few things that actually still survived the loss of MotokoAoyama.com v1.0 to an inept hair-metal drummer who is equally inept at running a webhosting service and a real estate company… a [...]

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 [...]

The days of neglecting this blog are over. With Reina’s 20th birthday coming sooner than later, the time is nigh to get back to regular posts. The next week-plus leading up to November 11th, there will be a considerable ramping up of the eyecandy, followed after that by more regular posts. And no better way [...]

Hanachan drew up this pic of Her Royal Hotness for me in response to an art meme she posted on her blog recently. Hana said she had a lot of fun drawing it, now everyone can have fun looking at it.

The final results of Paul Thomas’ latest H!P Poll are up, and Her Royal Hotness has placed #3 in the polling with 10,900 votes. Seven spaces in the top 10 were dominated by current MoMusu members (appropriately, leader Ai Takahashi is also top of the H!P poll), with the other three taken up by all [...]
