 * November 25, 2011 - Takahashi Ai Will Be Part Of The Cast For A Stage Play Titled “La Patisserie”Takahashi_ai_mov_25.jpg
 * She will play a character called Morisawa Kaori. The plot hasn’t been translated so it’s hard to know what the story is about, but it seems like Ai-chan’s character Kaori is the owner of a bakery where she’s a pastry chef (as the title mentions). It will be very interesting to see how it turns out since Ai-chan is a really great actress, and with two more main actors it seems like we are in for an interesting play. There’s a total of 10 actors (half men and half women) although there seems to be only about 3 main roles, so hopefully the play turns out well. I encourage anyone in the area to attend the play since it seems like it will have a somewhat short run (compared to her Dance of Vampire play). The play will run from 3/3 ~ 3/11 in Tokyo, 3/20, 3/22 in Osaka and Ishikawa.


 * November 20, 2011 - Hello! Project and UFA Artists To Participate In “Yuuki no Tsubasa 2011″2011yuukinotsubasa_01-610x883.jpg
 * Hello! Project and UFA artists will participate in this year’s Toyota Yuuki no Tsubasa 2011. The event is a special holiday activity to interact with adults and children who have disabilities.Here are the members who will appear each day:
 * 11/23 – Yaguchi Mari, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Matsuura Aya, Satoda Mai
 * 11/24 – C-ute (selection)
 * 11/25 – Morning Musume (selection)
 * 11/26 – Nakazawa Yuko, S/mileage (selection)
 * 11/27 – Yasuda Kei, Ishikawa Rika, Berryz Koubou (selection)
 * Like every year there are always events from UFA that helps to promote a good cause, and this seems like a great way to raise awareness and interact with those with disabilities, especially with a great selection of UFA artists who will most likely do an amazing job at the event. Hopefully everyone who can will attend this event since it seems like a great cause. The event will take place from 11/23 ~ 27.


 * November 19, 2011 - Mano Erina Will Be In A Movie Titled “Waga Haha no Ki”87cb3344_640.jpg
 * Her character helps to take care of another character’s mother. The movie won a special jury award at the 35th Montreal World Film Festival in Canada this past Sunday, and is going to be released in 2012 during Golden Week. – Ragen @ H!O While she isn’t among the main cast of the movie it seems like a nice addition to her long list of appearances of movies since the story seems to be very interesting and touching, so fans of this type of movies will be very happy. The movie will be released in 2012 during Golden Week.


 * November 19, 2011 - Michishige Sayumi & Tanaka Reina Starring In A New Drama Titled “Suugaku♥Joushi-gakuen”Mathematics-drama-sayu-reina-300x168.jpg
 * Michishige Sayumi and Tanaka Reina will be starring in a new drama titled “Suugaku♥Joushi-gakuen” (Mathematics♥Girl’s Academy) The drama features Sayu and Reina as high school rivals in a girl’s school and they compete against each other in mathematics. Other H!P members also appear as rivals for them and they’re Momoko, Maasa, Mano, Maimi, Airi, Nakky, Dawa, Fukuda Kanon, and Tamura. Also starring along with Sayu and Reina is a man named Sakurada Dori famous for his role as Nogami Kotaro/Kamen Rider New Den-O in Tokusatsu's Cho-Den-O . He’s an actor that appeared in a few musicals called The Prince of Tennis and he’s also had a lot of experiences in other TV and movie films too. Hopefully a lot of fans can check it out since it features a few H!P members here and it’s nice if we can support them. The drama is set to air on Wednesday nights at 12:59 starting in January.


 * November 18, 2011 - Lin Lin To MC An Anime Festival In Shanghai6713f0d4h9bea8639f1ba&690.jpg
 * Lin Lin will be the MC for an anime festival in Shanghai titled Japan Anime Festival in Shanghai.Being an MC for an anime festival isn’t as big as being on a show like Jun Jun, but it’s the next best thing for fans who will be attending the event since it gives them a chance to check out the various events and anime related stuff while enjoying an interesting MC by Lin Lin. Lin Lin has a very catchy and unique personality so it was no surprise why they decided to choose her, but while I have no idea how long the event will be I encourage everyone who is in the area to check out the event. Hopefully we get to see even more events featuring Lin Lin and Jun Jun in the future. The festival will be on 11/26.


 * November 17, 2011 - Buono! ”Gomenasai” DVD Release AnnouncedBuono!_gomenasai.jpg
 * There will be 2 DVD editions, a deluxe and a regular and this is also a blu-ray edition available. The deluxe edition includes bonus DVD contents like the making of and a booklet. I’m glad that this is getting a DVD release because it’s great exposure for Buono! and for fans that didn’t get to attend to the movie they can watch it on DVD instead. The movie itself had some pretty scary scenes in it but since Buono! is one of my favorite groups I would try to put up with it just to watch Buono!. If you can’t support Buono! by reserving a copy of the DVD I would suggest reserving a copy of their 13th single instead. Hopefully everyone can reserve a copy, the release date is set for 2/18.


 * November 13, 2011 - Berryz Koubou To Attend AnimeNEXT In New Jersey, USA
 * Just announced at their Berikyuu concert, Berryz Koubou will attend AnimeNEXT in Somerset, New Jersey, USA in June 2012. Recently there was a tweet from a UFA Twitter account that mentioned there would be a surprise at today’s concert and I’m happy to see that it turned out to be another overseas trip since fans from this area will Berryz_koubou_berykyuu.png able to enjoy Berryz Koubou without traveling that much. This has been confirmed by the H!P site so it seems that once again Berryz will perform in the US for sure, which is great news following the recent announcement that Buono would also be performing overseas since fans in those areas will be able to enjoy H!P without having to go to Japan. I’m surprised to see that they will perform in New Jersey since it doesn’t immediately jump into mind as being one of the most common tourist locations for people from other countries, but it’s a rare opportunity for fans near New Jersey, such as New York and the surrounding areas, since it’s among the first H!P concerts on the other side of the US. For now there isn’t that much information about the actual event since it was just announced but once more details are released we will update with more details. The event will take place from 6/8 ~ 10, 2012 at the Garden State Exhibit Center.


 * November 12, 2011 - Buono! To Perform In ParisO0800045011607320453.jpg
 * According to an announcement by the official H!P site, Buono! will perform a live in Paris, France. They will perform at La Machine du Moulin Rouge. Overseas performances usually come about once or twice a year for H!P groups, so it’s really surprising to see that a Paris live has been announced for Buono since it’s usually larger groups like Momusu or Berryz, but I’m a big Buono fan so I’m really happy to see that they can perform overseas since there are quite a lot of Buono fans in Europe. As most of you might remember back in 2009 Buono was among the guests that were invited to perform in Sweden, but due to a few economic problems it was canceled and the group didn’t get to go, but this seems like a perfect way to make up for it since European fans will be able to enjoy their performances next year at a place other than an Anime Expo (it seems to be a live house). Like always I highly encourage fans who are in the area or who can make it to attend since this is a rare opportunity to see Buono perform without having to go to Japan, and while there is still about 3 months to go for the performance it’s plenty of time for everyone to plan out their trip and practice their cheering and dancing for the songs. Buono! will perform on 2/12/2012.


 * November 12, 2011 - Mano Erina Will Be In A Reading Drama Titled “Moshimo Kimi ga.- Last Christmas”32wNX.jpg:Mano Erina will be part of the cast for the reading drama titled Moshimo Kimi ga. – Last Christmas. She will pair with Shirahama Aran and Yusuke Onuki on different days. As the description suggests Mano will be on stage reading the drama so it doesn’t involve that much physical acting, and while it might not be a stage play it seems like the next best way for her to show off her acting skills. I would imagine that reading a drama would be equally or more difficult as performing it since you don’t rely on physical movements to show the story, instead it would depend mostly on your voice so it will be somewhat difficult, but I look forward to finding out how it will turn out since the image for the story seems interesting since it has a somewhat sad tone to it mixed with a Christmas setting. Hopefully everyone in the area can check it out since it seems like an interesting way to enjoy a story from Mano. She will pair with Shirahama Aran on 12/21 and Yusuke Onuki on 12/25.
 * November 10, 2011 - Berryz Koubou & C-ute attend pre-screening event for their new horror movie20111109_BerryzKoubouCute_OusamaGame1.jpg
 * Berryz Koubou and C-ute attended a pre-screening event for their new horror movie “Ousama Game” (King Game). This is the first time that all the members of both groups have appeared in a movie, which brought about a friendly bragging competition between the two groups. C-ute’s leader Yajima Maimi boasted about her group, “We have great unity and teamwork”. The comment only caused Berryz Koubou’s captain Shimizu Saki to spout back, “No way, Berryz won’t lose when it comes to unity.” After the fireworks went off between the groups, Shimizu commented, “We’re all really good friends, but we’re rivals too.” “Ousama Game” is a suspense-horror film that is based off of the popular mobile novel by the same name. It’s about a “king” who keeps commanding a high school class to do certain things. The main protagonist, Chiemi, is played by Berryz Koubou member Kumai Yurina. It has been roughly eight years since the last time she was in a movie, “I was so nervous that I couldn’t eat. There was just so much pressure,” she commented. Also, when Kumai was asked what she would make the members do if she were a ‘king’ she responded with, “I’m the tallest, so I would make all of the members besides me grow taller. I want to be the shortest.” The unreasonable order caused the other members to burst out laughing. “Ousama Game” will be in theaters on December 17th.


 * November 10, 2011 - Matsuura Aya 10th Anniversary Best AnnouncedMatsuura_Aya..jpg
 * A Best Of celebrating Matsuura Aya’s 10th year anniversary has been announced.It will be a CD+DVD release. When I heard the news, I was extremely happy since the last news we heard from her was about her endometriosis, and hearing that she will be releasing a Best Of soon is a great news for all of her fans, even though I can’t help but think that this could also be a last release as a Best Of due to her disease… Apart form that, the Best Of should feature a lot of her previous releases and singles mainly which will please everyone since her songs are classic H!P songs, always being performed at concerts and such, so having a special Best Of release is the best way for fans to provide themselves with all of her amazing songs while enjoying some bonuses in one set. The release date is set for 12/21.


 * November 8, 2011 - “Morning Musume All Single Music Video Files Blu-ray 2011″ AnnouncedMorning_msusume_mobekimasu.jpg:The DVD has been announced which will feature all of Morning Musume’s PV, titled “Morning Musume All Single Music Video Files Blu-ray 2011“. This DVD will be featuring all singles, starting with Morning Coffee all the way to Kono Chikyu/Kare to Issho and when I think about watching the PV’s from the beginning until now it will be very interesting to see how the group has progressed since their debut. I think comparing the PV styles and how the lineup has changed from approximately 14 years ago will be extremely fun. According to some fans this is one of H!P’s most expensive product but regardless of that this is a perfect addition to every collection since it will satisfy both the new and long term fans, so hopefully everyone can reserve a copy. The release date is set for 12/28.
 * November 7, 2011 - Jun Jun Participating In A Chinese Competition Show20111023.jpg
 * Jun Jun is currently participating in a Chinese voter-based show titled 我为校花狂 Crazy for School Beauty. The competition is based on singing, dancing, and beauty. It has been a while since we last heard from Jun Jun, but it seems that her career is going well since after appearing in a movie she is now part of a show which seems to have a somewhat similar style of many other singing competition shows since it’s based on votes as well as singing and dancing. The episode was available to stream at the site below although I am having a few problems seeing it. so hopefully it works for those who are interested in seeing the show, although you can see a short clip of Jun Jun by clicking on her picture where she introduces herself.The show is voter based so there is a counter on the site as well as a button to vote and from what I can tell it’s open to everyone, so I encourage all Jun Jun fans to check the site out and vote for her, although it seems that she already has quite a lot of support since she’s currently at about 17800 votes with second place at around 4200.
