<p>Hello, everyone. I'm finally ready to share a project I've been wanting to make a reality for a few months. Most of the work has been done in the past few days, as these things usually happen, haha. There is a TLDR at the bottom if you just want the links and to see how the sorters work.</p><p>
</p><p>As of right now, I've finished and updated all the current and some former Hello! Project groups - any others are subject to consideration given that their discography is a bit limited (example, W; sorry Josh) or soloists with perhaps less demand (example: Goto Maki). In the future (perhaps very soon), I'm planning on making a single sorter containing all past and present members of Hello! Project, as it seems silly to make individual ones for each group in some cases. Request at will, and I'll see what I can do! </p><p>
</p><p>TDLR; Explanation below</p><p>
</p><p>Steps: </p><p>1) Choose between two songs until you reach 100% completion. The length of time it takes depends on the amount of songs involved. (For example, Berryz Koubou took me 185 battles and perhaps 7-10 minutes while watching a movie.)</p><p>
</p><p>That's all there is to it! If you DO NOT want ties at all, do not choose "I Like Both" or "No Opinion. The screenshot I've provided shows the end result. </p><p>
</p><p>This blog links to all existing sorters I've made. Click on the image or name of a group to go there. DO NOT NAVIGATE AWAY WHILE SORTING OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PROGRESS. helloprojectsort.tumblr.com </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Not the stupidest thing I've made, and far from the most effort to get it going, but I'm still pretty happy with it. The completely useless Template:HelloHelloHello. </p><p>Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Setting
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Banking
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Smothering
Hello! Hello! Hello! </p>

<p>I guess this is the best forum section for bringing up stuff about my H!P database DohBell, since it is a creation separate from wiki goings-on, but not off-topic from H!P itself? </p><p>Anyway, I recently added in a new thing that's worth sharing. I finally added birth dates to the database. It's not complete for every <i>person</i> in the database, but I think all <i>members</i> are covered. For one thing this allows for better ordering of seniority at various places, like members within a generation are properly ordered by age. But the more interesting and calculation-heavy task that it's nice to have computers for is dealing with a lot of ages. </p><p>In some of our pages like ANGERME Members one can see what the average age of the group at various times was. I've done something like this, but both more specific and with more information. For any song it will show you the age of the vocalists at the time of the song's release, as well as an average. For a recent example there's Utakata Saturday Night, with the group ranging from Haga at 14.1 to Iikubo at 21.5, averaging 17.5. For a BIG example there's ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL!, going from Hagiwara Mai at 8.8 to Nakazawa Yuko at 31.4, with an overall average of 17.6. </p>

<p>As part of the current Steam sale I bought the program FaceRig, which is for real-time taking of captured facial movements and applying them to new 3D characters. Primarily this is meant for use with webcams, but it is possible (though not as easy as would be nice) to give it prerecorded video. Since it depends on having a good shot of the face, I thought this would be a fun thing to test with some Close-up Ver. videos. I've recorded my messing around with one such song, switching between many avatars while it plays. You can see that at some points the close-up is <i>too</i> close up, and the program loses its ability to identify the face. </p> <div class="center"><figure class="article-thumb tnone show-info-icon" style="width: 335px"><span class="thumbnail-play-icon-container"><svg class="thumbnail-play-icon" viewbox="0 0 180 180" width="100%" height="100%"><g fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g opacity=".9" transform="rotate(90 75 90)"><g fill="#000" filter="url(#a)"><rect id="b" width="150" height="150" rx="75"></rect></g><g fill="#FFF"><rect id="b" width="150" height="150" rx="75"></rect></g></g><path fill="#00D6D6" fill-rule="nonzero" d="M80.87 58.006l34.32 25.523c3.052 2.27 3.722 6.633 1.496 9.746a6.91 6.91 0 0 1-1.497 1.527l-34.32 25.523c-3.053 2.27-7.33 1.586-9.558-1.527A7.07 7.07 0 0 1 70 114.69V63.643c0-3.854 3.063-6.977 6.84-6.977 1.45 0 2.86.47 4.03 1.34z"></path></g></svg></span> <figcaption> <p class="title">FaceRig Test - ○○ Ganbaranakutemo Eenende!!</p> </figcaption></figure></div>

<p>So I've made a thing to help myself create playlists of arbitrary specifics. </p><p>The first step, and it was a doozy, was to attach the file names and locations of my H!P songs to their SongID in my DohBell database. It wasn't hard to get a list of all the songs from the database, or a list of files in my H!P directory, but pairing them together properly probably took a few hours. I did it in little chunks over a few days so I don't know about an exact time. But in the end I had a table with hundreds of them paired, like this on and on: </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>The next step was to set up a program that could do a big search and replace from all of the numbers to all of the file names. This is something I've done before, so really it was just a matter of sticking in these two new lists. Except that as it turns out... numbers have a lot in common! Replacing "20" will also affect numbers that were supposed to be "120" or "204" or "1209"; you get the picture. So I finagled it a bit so instead it worked on the numbers with # around them. A search/replace for #20# won't affect #120# or #204# or #1209#. </p><p>Then I needed a way to make it easy to take the output from one of my Dohbell searches in this format. Since it already needed to output every number to show the results anyway, it was pretty easy to make it also store the #modified# number in a list of its own, then hide it away in a spot at the bottom where it could be expanded, for easy copying. </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>That list, once copied, can be pasted into the search/replace program, and I get a result like this: </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>In this example, I had asked for a list of all Berryz Koubou instrumentals. Any I don't have it would detect as blank spots, and automatically get rid of those blank lines. So if I ask it for a list of all Heike Michiyo songs, it will give me a very short list since I just have her early Petit Best appearances. </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>More interesting possibilities would include making lists of all songs from a particular arranger (<i>all Nagai Rui</i>), all songs with a particular performer (<i>all Yoshizawa Hitomi</i>), or songs released within a certain span of time (<i>calendar 2014</i>). </p><p>I can then take one of those results, save it with a file name like MyBerryzInstrumentals.m3u8, and it can be loaded up into various programs--I'm a Winamp man myself. If I want to use it with my MP3 player I need a slightly different format, but converting to that is something I've done separately before and haven't (yet) built straight into this. </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>Considering DohBell isn't used by many people, and even fewer would want to spend time setting up a list of their files attached to SongIDs, I haven't given much practical thought to making it easy for multiple people to use with their own lists. But if anyone is actually interested, I can help them get started on setting up their list. </p>

<p>Another thing on the more technical side from me. This is something I initially made a couple years ago, but have updated as called for--most recently with the Factory groups. </p><p>If you're not familiar with Anki, it's a program with versions available for many devices and operating systems that's used for spaced repetition learning. If you're not familiar with <i>that</i>, it's basically like flashcards that automatically adjust how often they show up based on how correctly you've been answering them. Screw it up all the time, it shows up every day. Keep getting it right, eventually it won't bring it up again for multiple years. </p><p>So as I said, I initially made this when I was much newer around here and trying to familiarize myself with H!P present and history. In this case by better recognizing members by sight. For each member the "question" would be an image of them, with the "answer" being their name, probably a nickname, and when they were in what group. Almost all images I used came from here. I picked 4 for each, trying to get a variety of looks. This is not so easy when adding the legitimately newer people who may only have a handful of pictures spread through a year or two. Put them through a resizing process so they fit well on the screen (I'm using an older Kindle Fire model), and tada. </p><p>I've never got it as far as being completely exhaustive--it's got current and former members of the current groups (+ then-current Berryz Koubou). So it's still lacking in Sheki-Dol, for instance. Right now it's 97 members across 388 cards. </p><p>Sample "question": </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>Now with answer shown: </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>A card that's been around a while, with much longer times between appearances: </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>If anyone actually wants to check this out sharing it wouldn't be difficult, though I'd first want to do at least some minor updates, mostly noting members who have graduated or otherwise left since I added their card. </p>

<p>what do you think about my kanji and the lyrics i write inspired from morning musume's lyrics </p><p>

<p>If you haven't heard about this, check this article with many examples out. The gist is that folks at Google are working on image recognition software that will also try to emphasize the objects it thinks it recognizes. Since there can easily be false positives, when pushed to the extreme it can create some pretty crazy images. </p><p>There's now a site, DreamDeeply where you can submit images to be put through this process. It's not instantaneous so you have to wait in line for results, and thus I've only got a few to share for now. </p><p>Input:

<p>Being a teen on the internet during 2010 eventually led me to Vocaloid and subsequently Miku Miku Dance videos. MMD are made in a program that utilizes character models, music, dancing, and camera work to create your own MVs or recreate them with other characters/settings/etc. Here are some notable works I've found on YouTube. </p><p>Morning Musume </p><p>By far the most common Morning Musume MMDs out there are for One•Two•Three / The Matenrou Show and Help me!!. This is likely due to one user making their character mapping public. All people need are the models and they can made a video. Morning Musume is also the only group that seems to have character models made specifically for them. These are, predictably, the One•Two•Three outfits and thus don't include Sakura or the 12th Gen. </p><p>Berryz Koubou </p><p>Not much out there for Berryz honestly. The Ryuusei Boy video is surprisingly good, though (It's SO funny to me that they left the character standing in for Yurina so tall compared to everyone.) The Seishun Bus Guide video also demonstrates how ... thorough people can be with the motion of character models. I'm relatively certain they had to code all of that gratuitous chest movement. There's also at least one Watashi no Mirai no Danna-sama / Ryuusei Boy video out there but it's so bad that I feel bad linking it. </p><p>C-ute </p><p>It looks like I was wrong about Morning Musume being the only ones with models made after them! I found a user with a test video for Kanashiki Amefuri / Adam to Eve no Dilemma with the C-ute member models. </p><p>Other: </p><p>One or two random. Uchouten LOVE is the only S/mileage or ANGERME song I could find and there are a few Buono! songs floating around (the Kokoro no Tamago version linked is a cover by the Vocaloid Miku as well.) </p>

<p>So while doing stuff with Morning Musume albums earlier, my eye was caught by the 13 Colorful Character limited edition cover. </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>10 members, all with very nearly the same pose and framing. An unusual situation, and an Opportunity. I have occasionally in the past used software to morph between one image to another--usually with Sqirlz Morph which is now getting on in age, but works well and is free. I'd never tried to morph through 10 images before, so this seemed like a fine time to try. I looked for the largest image of the cover I could find, cut out identically sized rectangles for everyone, loaded them up in Sqirlz Morph, and started in. Thanks to the similarity in all the images, doing so many all together wasn't terribly difficult, except that I couldn't really work on them zoomed or it would've taken forever to switch between the images. By the end it looked something like this: </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>When just morphing between two images I often try to make it small enough to reasonably work as a GIF for easy sharing online, but something like this was beyond that, so I've put it on YouTube. </p> <div class="center"><figure class="article-thumb tnone show-info-icon" style="width: 335px"><span class="thumbnail-play-icon-container"><svg class="thumbnail-play-icon" viewbox="0 0 180 180" width="100%" height="100%"><g fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g opacity=".9" transform="rotate(90 75 90)"><g fill="#000" filter="url(#a)"><rect id="b" width="150" height="150" rx="75"></rect></g><g fill="#FFF"><rect id="b" width="150" height="150" rx="75"></rect></g></g><path fill="#00D6D6" fill-rule="nonzero" d="M80.87 58.006l34.32 25.523c3.052 2.27 3.722 6.633 1.496 9.746a6.91 6.91 0 0 1-1.497 1.527l-34.32 25.523c-3.053 2.27-7.33 1.586-9.558-1.527A7.07 7.07 0 0 1 70 114.69V63.643c0-3.854 3.063-6.977 6.84-6.977 1.45 0 2.86.47 4.03 1.34z"></path></g></svg></span> <figcaption> <p class="title">Morning Musume '12 Morph</p> </figcaption></figure></div> <p>Also, when morphing through multiple images like this Sqirlz Morph allows you to see what they <i>all</i> average out to.

<p>This is an idea I had a while back, but thought it could wait to share until I had someplace a little more... frivolous to do so. The concept is pretty straightforward; a rainbow made of a group's member colors. </p> <div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div> <p>This is an ANGERME one, with the colors ripped from the text on the ANGERME Members page. I'm afraid it doesn't come out quite as pretty as a real rainbow, but oh well. </p>
