Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai Mitsui Caps

Hey guys! I've been pretty busy lately with things and I have found I am not able to go and review things for you guys as much. But I am starting a new feature by presenting you with Mitsui screencaps. For DVDs, pending how much Mitsui in them, I will cut back some just so I won't waste all your space.

So starting off new we have the new PV Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai. I didn't edit it at all from the Dohhh up rip. Expect better caps once I get my hands on the ISOs for the different PVs! Enjoy:

Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai Covers


The covers are out for the new single and I have to say I'm not too impressed with the Limited B cover like everyone else. I myself will be ordering the Limited A and maybe the regular one. For Mitsui fans she is in the front row for the Limited A cover (and next to Reina) so I wanna get that one and the regular cover looks nice. So get yours now!

Mitsui gets a new dog!

In a recent blog post by Mitsui she has stated that she was wondering if she should take in a new Siberian Husky puppy. Here is the quote from the post:

Also, there was another healing event!!!!!!!
A little while ago, my faaaavorite favorite type of dog,
a siberian husky, had puppies (*☆∨☆*)
I was super excited~!!!!!!! ☆☆
And so, I uploaded this ♪
Her sleeping face is sooo cute isn’t it (>_<*)(*>_<) Her paws are still pink too!! Sooooooo cuuuute (*∨▽∨*)☆ I was really thinking hard about whether or not I should take this puppy home (..) Well cuz.. the mom abandoned her (T_T)*tear* So sad (;o;) But... the puppy is at our house now ♪♪ I'll be sure to raise her up properly (^^)d☆

From the looks of the post I would say she adopted it. So meet the new member of the Mitsui family:

Morning Musume looks for a new...actress?



Reports say that Morning Musume will be putting on another play this coming spring and holding 5 different auditions in works with BS-TBS and Jc&Jk agency to find a girl who will co-start in the play along side Morning Musume.

Michishige Sayumi (20), who is from Yamaguchi, and Mitsui Aika (17), who is from Shiga, commented "I think it will be easier for people of our prefectures to participate, please give us some support"


Going on! PV

I had forgotten about this for a little bit due to the fact I couldn't find one to screen cap. But I found a pretty nice one to use. This one....I will admit it not my favorite G4 song. If I had to rank them thus far it would be: Party Time, Omakase♪Guardian, School Days, than Going On! But who knows it may grow on me. I am certainly not a fan of the yellow outfits but I will learn to live with it, in some shots I hate it, in other it's not so bad.


This whole PV is pretty random and I think starting out like this you can understand why. It starts with the girls and a lion, a green elephant, and a purple bunny. Apparently they are directing the PV.......yay?


Starting off with the a little dance part I think the light bright videos the Pony company makes for G4 and Buono! are a lot better quality than what H!P has come out with lately. I mean look at Shock! than try to argue a point with me. I bet I will win.


A part of the PV that I do like is the use of different areas that are used for the close up shots, the dance shots and also the mic recording shots. I see the call back of Party Time with light bubbles in most of the shots, it's honestly one of my favorite things to do graphically on things.


Looking at each section I think Mitsui really nails her close up shots. Her faces are just so cute and adorable. I think she really takes the lyrics to heart. Than again Mitsui has been getting better with facial expressions, and has been nailing them since Naichau Kamo.


There is another section were the girls are recording on a mic. I love the look of this part. I mean the background is all white and boring but I think with the girls being in yellow and the light overlay it keeps it simple enough to keep the light up effect that they were going with in the house and the close up shots. Also I'm a bit rock n' roll and I love those head phones.


Something different in this song is a pairing up of two girls to sing together, Mitsui and Yurina (Tanpopo# much?) and than Risako and Saki. I don't know if I like the two voices together though. I would have much rather seen Mitsui paired with Saki, but I think this is how they usually line up the girls so I guess they didn't want to mess it up?? I don't know but I think the recording room close up shots are awesome.


Another strange section is the director animals give the girls a vegetable/fruit to pose with as well as a Shugo chara egg girl. I don't get it but I guess it's for the kids. I mean Mari was forced to drink milk in Mini Moni so I guess it's a subliminal message for them to eat better?


And than it's the end! This PV is not my favorite nor is the song. I hope that this isn't the last single for the girls. If so I will be really sad because this is not as good as their last, or first single for that matter. School Days was okay but not the best, but better than this. I will add updates for H!P DVD Magazine 20 and 21 soon! PS. Mad props for Saki who looked amazing in this PV:

B.L.T magazine DVD

H!P had a recent collaboration with BLT magazine to release a H!P New Years book with all 25 girls of H!P in it wearing Kimonos. And of course there was a DVD release of the making. I wish I could say it was fun and exciting but it was basically H!P eye candy with a few cute moments here and there. And because it is all eye candy I have a lot of caps but not a lot of text. So enjoy the pic spam post.


This is a cute part though, with Mitsui acting it Tanaka Reina is doing her imitation of Shin-chan from the show Crayon Shin-chan Mitsui does it really cute like too.







Here is the pic spam part I was talking about. I decided to cut down from the amount I actually capped. There is only so many ways you can pose in a tradition kimono because you can't move around much. But I find Mitsui charming as always.


Next was photos with Musume. This section isn't that long but I really love seeing all the girls together. They are so pretty, and having 8 members really separates them up nicely, not that I don't miss Koha, I do, but it makes them equal now.







Now we have pictures with the rest of H!P, first in the line up of Musume, Berryz,°C-ute, Mano (on the same line), and than S/mileage. Next into little sections than by height. Mitsui is next to Mai and Eri, it appears she is on the smaller end of the H!P girls, but right in the middle. In the end there is a blooper from the opening greeting where Maimi messes up what she's saying, earning a smack from Ai and Chisato.

You can see what I mean about the less talk more eye candy action from this post. I will soon be updating with H!P DVD Magazine 20 and 21. So more to come soon.
