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.

Three Is The Magic Number…
January 24, 2010 by CJ Marsicano
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 the translated versions to date.)
And Reina’s character is actually part cat? Funny, I hadn’t noticed the tail sticking out of her ass when she’s in her convenience store uniform… I’ll have to go back and rewatch the other episodes to see!

The Flagrant Mouse Abuse Continues…
January 16, 2010 by CJ Marsicano
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! (That’s already on top of my want list! CK, next time you’re in Japan…)

Make a Few Minutes for “Kaito Reinya”
January 9, 2010 by CJ Marsicano
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 afternoon I caught wind of the first episode being posted on the trackers and on YouTube, gave it a full, quick gander… and became hooked. If you don’t have the patience for trackers or YouTube rippers, we’ve got you covered with a handy download link for the full-quality HD file.
If this series ever comes out on Blu-Ray, I am there. Thank god “Region A” for BluRay discs and players covers both the US AND Japan!

Eleven Days of Tanakachii, Part 11: The Grand Finale!
November 11, 2009 by CJ Marsicano
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 was a slow year as far as posts to this blog goes, it was certainly one hell of a year for Reina and the rest of the band, especially given that they finally made their American performing debut back in July. I regret not being able to attend, but here’s hoping that there will be many more visits from the band to these shores in the years to come. And since Reina has openly stated in past interviews that she wants to remain in the band for quite a while yet, here’s hoping that I get to witness those American shows while she’s still part of the band.
Reina, here’s to your 20th trip around the sun, and many more to come!

Eleven Days of Tanakachii, Part 10
November 10, 2009 by CJ Marsicano
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 in Japan). His full report can be seen behind the photo above (which is part of the package that came with his copy of the Reina 20th Birthday shirt)… way to go, Chris, and judging from all the posts you made at MSM, Awesome Island and Chuo Dori, you certainly had a good time!Category News, Reina Tanaka | Tags: | No Comments

We’re Number 3! We’re Number 3!
April 20, 2009 by CJ Marsicano
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 three members of Buono!.
Obviously, hardcore Reina fans like myself and CK had the Wonkylicious one at the top of their personal poll results (mine here, and Chris’ here), but the young man who operates the fan site Reina Reina Reina came up with what he calls his one “true” top 10. Given that this worship site is headed for its third year of existence and I was doing posts of Reina eyecandy with the subtitle So Hot She Shits Fire on the original Stuck In A Pagoda With Motoko Aoyama (version 1.0, long lost by a hair-metal drummer) for over a year before I started this blog, I beg to differ on who the more devoted Reina fan is.

The One Where There’s A Nice Way To Start Off SoHotSheShitsFire.com’s 2009
January 18, 2009 by CJ Marsicano
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 on “Resonant Blue”?
Yes, Reina and I will be “discussing” this and maybe a couple of other things soon, but I’ll leave initial comments to the mothership first.

The Week In Reina, 11.15.08
November 15, 2008 by CJ Marsicano
Because I don’t always get to catch them and probably you don’t either, here’s what the blogosphere had to say and display about Her Royal Hotness this past week:
A MoMusu fan happened to be in the right place at the right time when he discovered that Reina and her mother were a few feet away from him/her in Tokyo’s Sibuya district last week. Nakane at hello!musume shares the pictures, which she calls “stalker” photos, but these are more like photos of a normal music lover thinking, “Holy shit! It’s Reina Tanaka! Where’s my camera phone?”. I have to agree with pengie at IW when she takes note of Reina’s early November outfit:
The thing that’s bothering me about these photos is the way she is dressed. Everyone else is wearing coats, scarves, long pants, what have you. It’s cold in Japan right now, you know? Reina is wearing a coat and fuzzy boots. And that’s… about it.
Reina, honey, you know we love you, but put on some damn pants. Sheesh.
Hello!Island caught wind of some ads for a Japanese pizza chain featuring members of Morning Musume and company. Apparently the ads are catching on with H!P wotas, as a couple of the other photographs suggest. (How come the TV ads only feature Buono! though?)
Reina’s new photobook Very Reina (yeah, I know, why didn’t I mention it sooner?) is (not surprisingly) getting a lot of notice around our part of the blogosphere. The latest to have to pick their jaw up off of the floor is MorningBerryz, who shares scans of the entire PB for your viewing pleasure – or if you’re Photoshop-inclined and want to start working on some new wallpapers and LiveJournal avatars (hint, hint).
If you have the companion DVD (or a torrent thereof) to Reina’s photobook and, like me, know very little nihongo outside of words like “kawaii”, “ganbare”, and “zakennayo”, Hello!Fansubs already has a subtitled version of the entire DVD out (they had it ready for Reina’s birthday), and Hello!Online’s tracker has it up in H264 (iPod/PSP) format here and in Xvid format here.
Of course, the commencement of Reina’s 19th trip around the sun (as my good friend, punk legend Mike Watt puts it) had its fair share of notice. Sasaki at Sasaki’s H!P Weblog almost forgot but posted in time, while Morningtime commemorates the occasion with a few favorite shots from Very Reina and Reina’s live-in-studio cover version of Country Musume’s “Iroppoi Onna ~ Sexy Baby” (which we also posted here last year). Chris of CK’s H!P Blog fame (who missed seeing Reina and her mama by one day during his recent MoMusu/AKB48 hajj), meanwhile, commemorated this blog’s first anniversary at International Wota while looking at Reina’s birthday as a national holiday – or at least falling on the same day as one!

A Special Double Anniversary!
November 11, 2008 by CJ Marsicano
The updates may have been a little sporadic here and at the mothership over the past few weeks, but there was no way I was going to forget either the 19th birthday of the idol who drives my wotahood, or the 1st anniversary of this worship blog.
So, Happy Birthday, Reina – I fuckin’ love the shit out of you and that’s a fact. (The only person that I could say that about with any stronger conviction is my fiancee Tara, of course.) And a big thanks to everybody that has visited this blog over the past year. There’s lots to look forward to for the rest of 2008 and into 2009 – her new DVD and photobook and the forthcoming MoMusu album are just the tip of the iceberg.
