Country Girls....! *fangirl scream*

Ok so...

COUNTRY GIRLS SEEM FUCKING AMAZING! *Excuse my language.*

These girls are just so beautiful, and honestly, when ºC-ute graduates, they'll probably take over as my oshi group. Lemme introduce the members to you~!



Name: Tsugunaga Momoko

Age: 22

Status: manager of Country Girls and Berryz Koubou member

...Wait, you guys hopefully already know her. Anyway, moving on!


Name: Yamaki Risa

Age: 17

Status: former Kenshyuusei and MY CG OSHI <3

My new nickname for her: RisaRisa

Opinion on her: I LOOOOVE RISA. In fact, when I saw her MCing Hello! Station, it was love at first sight. Maybe she'll become my 3rd ultimate oshi after Kana and Chisa once she debuts! I don't doubt that will happen! I think she has a really unique type of beauty. Also, I heard her sing "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game" by Morning Musume and she wasn't bad at all! (She just struggled a bit on the higher notes.)


Name: Inaba Manaka

Age: 17

Status: former Kenshyuusei

My new nickname for her: Manakacakes

Opinion on her: Holy shit, this girl does not look her age at all. She's 17, but looks 12! In her case, that's not a bad thing. A lot of wotas love her youthful look. She's not my type, but there's no denying she's cute. I guess, she's the type of girl I won't be able to properly form an opinion on until she debuts. But let me just say, I saw a video of her and her smile is great!


Name: Morito Chisaki

Age: 14

Status: new member

My new nickname for her: Mori-senpai

Opinion on her: This girl seems really chill. Something about her really reminds me of myself, and I think that's her charm point for me. Her approach seems kind of masculine, hence my nickname for her. I like this girl at first glance. Let's see what happens with her.


Name: Shimamura Uta

Age: 14

Status: new member

My new nickname for her: Chubby-chan

Opinion on her: This girl is probably an introvert from what I've seen of her. In that way I can relate, but I can't tell if she's an introvert or just cold. Also, her face is very chubby! I just wanna squeeze it! To be honest, I think she's my least favorite of the members so far, but we'll have to see what happens!


Name: Ozeki Mai

Age: 12

Status: new member

My new nickname for her: Zekki

Opinion on her: This girl seems like a breath of fresh air. I really like her, and she is very mature for her age. I also really think this haircut does her justice! She's very cute, and I really like her look. If Mori-senpai doesn't turn out to be the tomboy/ikemen, I'm sure Zekki will!

Overall, I'm totally looking forward to Country Girls! I have very high expectations for them, and I'll keep you guys updated when they debut. Calli, out!

Calli's Top 5 Most Visually Appealing PVs of 2014

Okay, so I plan to make most of this list H!P, with one non-H!P because I can't resist. Remember, this list is in no particular order (because I suck at ordering.) Anyway, let's start!


Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe by Morning Musume


The girls look flawless. The green-screen is simply beautiful. There was a lot of aesthetic thought put into this PV, something not usually achieved by Hello! Project. It's one of the few PVs where I can actually watch the whole thing. Also, it's a nice break from Morning Musume 14's usual sound.

Akikaze no Answer by Flower



My one cheating PV on this list. Well, what can I say? Flower are at it again. Their PVs are extremely high quality, probably the highest quality in all of J-pop, and they rely on visual appeal through song, dance, and colors. Their PVs are kind of like a dream world that you wish to be in, and this PV was no exception.

Kanashiki Heaven (Single Version) by ºC-ute


I think every Hello! Project wota can agree that ºC-ute produce the best quality songs and PVs in Hello! Project.  In this PV, their outfits are amazing, the pole dancing is amazing, I love that some of it is filmed outside, and I really appreciate that they stuck to a black-gold-silver color scheme, I think it really makes the PV pop. Not to mention, the song is amazing.

Ai wa Itsumo Kimi no Naka ni by Berryz Koubou




Now, this PV may be very simple, but it does not mean it stops anything short of great. The close-ups are very well-timed and I really love the shadowing in this PV. Not to mention, the song is one of Berryz Koubou's best. A+, Tsunku.

Shabadabadoo~ by Michishige Sayumi


It's funny that one of the best PVs of the year doesn't even go to a group, but anyway, this PV is great. I think it's really worthy of a Sayu graduation PV, and the special effects, though simple, really work. Plus, Sayu looks flawless!

Anyway, that concludes my list of my Top 5 (Mostly H!P) Most Visually Appealing PVs of 2014! See you soon! Calli, out! ^_^
