  1. 11 Days of Tanakachi 2011, Day 2

    November 2, 2011 by CJ Marsicano

    I don’t think I have to remind anyone how Reina has been getting better with age. Or how seeing live pictures of her performing makes me want to see the band come to the States and tour (a tangent better left for the mothership). So I’ll just post this recent pic here without comment. Oh wait, that was a comment…


  2. 11 Days of Tanakachi 2011, Day 1

    November 1, 2011 by CJ Marsicano

    Yes, it’s been a long while since I posted on here. And in the time since the last post, I discovered to my horror that some douchebags had snuck some spam links within the HTML of this site, something I discovered when looking at this site via an iPad reader and saw the screen overloaded with unauthorized links. Apparently said scumbags found an opportunity to take advantage of some sort of crack in the WordPress code. No matter – the site’s system has been updates (as will this site’s template by 11.11.11) and things are back under control. No better way to restart SHSSF than to post a pic related to recent talk of Maki Goto’s visits to her old musical alma mater. Reina has often acknowledged that Maki was one of her inspirations, and with recent rumors/speculation of Maki making some sort of return to the Up-Front Works stable added with her earlier stated desire to take a “hiatus” from performing (until her contract with Avex is up, perhaps?), this pic (found by essential brother Langdon Alger) pretty much begged to be posted.


  3. Did Someone Say “Cheesecake”?

    March 25, 2011 by CJ Marsicano

    As what is doubtlessly a semi-tradition here at SHSSF, we offer in honor of International Wota’s 4th Annual Cake Day, some Tanakachii Cheesecake:

  4. SITE UPDATE: Server Move Happening Soon!

    March 14, 2011 by CJ Marsicano

    A quick server move is happening tomorrow. From an e-mail sent by our (highly recommended) hosting company:

    Bluehost has completed construction on our new data center expansion, complete with advanced temperature control, custom server racks and dozens of improvements designed to help us provide you with higher quality service. We will be moving all customer servers into the new center over the next few weeks.

    This expansion allows us to continue to manage all hardware alongside our Technical Support team and System Administrators, here in Provo, Utah. Our experience has shown that hands-on control over all aspects of your hosting is the best method of ensuring excellence.

    The Bluehost System Administrators will physically move your server into the new data center between 9 PM, March 15th and 5 AM March 16th (MDT), during low traffic periods. We will work to ensure you experience as little downtime as possible and, to that end, we will take the opportunity to perform any needed hardware maintenance or upgrades. We expect the process to take 1 to 3 hours.

    This move involves not only TGML but its sister worship sites SoHotSheShitsFire.com and MegumiOhori.com.


  5. This Week’s Entry In The About Fucking Time Department, SHSSF Edition

    February 1, 2011 by CJ Marsicano

    It’s been, what, two years since the last solo photobook and DVD from Reina? No word about a new PB yet, but news about this new DVD (and I’m hoping for a Blu-Ray edition as well), plus this preview that was posted on Morning Musume’s official YouTube channel, is a welcome sight!


  6. Happy New Year!

    January 1, 2011 by CJ Marsicano

    Happy New Year from So Hot She Shits Fire! And no better way to ring out 2010 and ring in 2011 than to post one of the most beautiful pictures of Her Royal Hotness that I’ve seen in awhile, taken during the band’s European debut in Paris back in July. Girls, get your pretty asses back to the States soon… and not just for one gig, either.


  7. Merry Christmas!

    December 24, 2010 by CJ Marsicano

    Her Royal Hotness teamed up with two members of S/Mileage over the weekend to cover Pucchimoni’s “Pittari Shitai X’mas!”. Thanks to Michael Lyle for alerting me to this clip via Facebook.


  8. 11 Days of Tanakachii 2010, Day 11

    November 11, 2010 by CJ Marsicano

    21 years ago, a young couple in Hokkaido gave birth to someone that would, a little less than a decade and a half later, use the beautiful voice and beautiful face she was blessed with to become part of one of the World’s Greatest Girl Groups. It is probably not much of a stretch of the imagination to say that were it not for Reina Tanaka and the rest of Morning Musume and Hello! Project, various parts of my personal and creative life would be radically different.

    Reina, happy 21st birthday and many more to come. You rock my whole motherfuckin’ sock drawer.


  9. 11 Days of Tanakachii 2010, Day 10…

    November 10, 2010 by CJ Marsicano

    Reina in a nice live shot that I haven’t seen before. Just another reminder that I need to finally see my favorite band in concert at least five times…

    In a row.

    On every concert tour they do.

    Damnit, girls, just get your pretty little asses to the States, sign a record deal with an American label that doesn’t suck (yes, Robby Takac, I’m looking at your label), and then make like get like Black Flag and get in the van. Or tour bus.

    You should be drinking up, Reina, your big day is coming…
