I don’t mind if they’re a little dramatized. Hell, I don’t care even if they’re entirely made-up.
So let me hear some heartwarming episodes with H!P members.

Junjun and Linlin’s mutual hate for each other is a classic.

6: 名無し募集中。。。 2009/08/03(月) 11:04:33.07 0
Junjun and Linlin lived in a shared housing situation at first. When Linlin would try to talk to Junjun, she refused to acknowledge her in any way.

79: 名無し募集中。。。 2012/02/08(水) 02:28:41.30 0
On their graduation memorial DVD, Junjun said “I used to hate Linlin. I was so two-faced, too. I don’t hate you anymore, though!” Linlin, in response to that, went “Hey, that’s my line! I used to hate you, too. You’d have such an attitude when it was just the two of us, but when we were around the Japanese members, you’d act all innocent and sweet all of a sudden. It really surprised me.”

Name: Aneshige
Source: Ookami Hyakkajiten (Wolfpedia)
Michishige Sayumi’s older sister.

  • Was a second year student in university as of 2007. (According to Sayu, it is a private university.) (Note: As revealed by Sayumi, Aneshige was unemployed as of April 2012, though apparently as of 2014 that may no longer the case.)
  • Born 1987/11/07 (26yo), height 156cm.
  • Her nickname is Choi-chan, from the word “occhokochoi” (“scatterbrain”).  (Note: Her first name is rumored to be Natsumi.)
  • Sayu had to leave Yamaguchi when she passed the auditions to join Musume. This made Aneshige lonely, so she applied for a high school in Tokyo and followed Sayu there.
  • Her skin is so light in complexion, it makes Sayu look dark-skinned. Doesn’t have black hair.
  • Her go-to song at karaoke is “Moonlight Densetsu.”
  • Is Sayu’s most loved person in the whole world.
  • Loves “Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~”.
  • According to Sayu, she’s quite the heavy drinker.
  • According to Sayu, she prefers to avoid conflict.
  • There are so many amazing episodes concerning her, there are even doubts as to whether she’s actually nothing more than a figment of Sayu’s imagination.

Tanpopo and Minimoni both losing to ZONE is Abe’s fault.

Everything is Abe’s fault.

One member after the other starting to gain weight is Abe’s fault because Abe did so first.

Sorry to tell you this, but this place — or Hello! Project — probably won’t exist in five years. There won’t even be people left on the planet anymore because of the effects of global warming. Everything will be gone… so enjoy it while you can.

When the member goes “Hm? What was that?” and brings her face closer to you, you win.

That’s still better than me who just makes it uncomfortable for everyone by staying completely silent.

Kumai-chan’s art of conversation is breathtaking. Chii-chan’s interjections are superb, too.

The other day the earphones I use with my music player broke, so I bought brand new ones to replace them. But, I didn’t have time to go buy them right away, so, well, since only one earphone was broken, I just kept listening with the right R side for a while. But, umm, I’m really picky about the kind of earphones I like, so… well, I really hated listening to music with just one earphone. Well, now I have working ones so that’s good, but, anyway.

Because of my pickiness… well, about that pickiness. First of all, the most important thing I look for in them is that the low tones need to sound good. How should I put it… like, there’s that “dondondondon” sound at live shows. I want that sensation in my ears. And so, there are like the really light-sounding ones, right? What do you call them… like, earphones that are kind of cheap, they don’t really have good sound. I hate those. Right. So the low tones are the most important thing.

The second thing is, the color of the earphones definitely needs to be deep pink. If you were to ask me why? … Well, I don’t really know. But, like, with deep pink earphones, the, like, the cord is deep pink, too. But I like that. If they don’t have those, then I get black ones. Well, that’s just another thing I’m really picky about.

Then, uh, the, umm, the one last thing is, the earphones… the strength of the cord… like, what do you call it… with me, the cord of the earphones always breaks, so that’s why I always try to go for a cord that’s preferably quite stiff so it doesn’t break right away.

Right. Also, umm, how should I put it…?! Well, earphones are very important to me. And like, the list of things I look for in them… like, being picky about things like that in day to day life, I mean, everyone has those kinds of things, right? Like with you, Chinami, for example, like, the, what, umm… like, for example, you definitely want your pen to be red or something. Well, I don’t know what color pen you want. But that kind of pickiness… being picky about things like that, I have like, at least five things that I’m picky about like that. But… well… but… uhh. Umm, I’m really too picky about my ears. This one time my ears even became a little bit messed up, so the point is, please be careful about that sort of thing when you use earphones, everyone. That’s all.
