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 [...]

Finally got ahold of the subbed version of Episode 6. Halfway through with the series already? Jesus Christ, it’s bad enough the days are ticking away for my wedding in June, but this is ridiculous.
Speaking of ridiculous, it’s good to see Reina’s animated doppelganger taking some bumps, even though Chutaro is still getting his [...]

Very bizarre episode this week. The last time I checked, Reinya was supposed to be the smart one, although the cops haven’t gotten any smarter (apparently the three of them all flunked science class in high school!). I guess living two identities causes one to have their own airhead moments.

Episode three of Kaito Reinya is in circulation, and since I didn’t get to it on Friday or Saturday, we can take advantage of the unintended lag by putting up the subbed version here! (If you’re not already aware, putting up “ICU Subs Kaito Reinya” in your YouTube search bar should bring up all of [...]

Episode 2 of Kaito Reinya is already online (well, it was since yesterday). Even without the translations (and I’m waiting on that with anticipation), it’s not too hard to follow the basic plot of these episodes. Watch at the end of the episode for an eyeful of some Kaito Reinya merch, including a Reinya stuffie! [...]

A cute cat-burglar. Stupid cops. Flagrant mouse abuse. These are the elements that make up the new anime series that Reina is doing the title character for, Kaito Reinya.

I never got around to posting news of the announcement or press pictures from when her participation in this new anime series was announced, but this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Yes, I know things have been a bit inactive over the past month or so here at SHSSF, but after finally getting to log on today I found a nice way to make up for it… the PV for Morning Musume’s new single “Naichau Kamo” is out, and guess who’s front and center just like [...]
