How long have you been a fan of Hello! Project? How did you find out about them? Since late 2005/early 2006. I don’t know what I was searching for my but I found a video of Berryz performing Koi no Jubaku at Maiha’s grad concert, and the earnestness of the performance despite the roughness got me hooked.

Lol, I've been an occasional H!O and MM-BBS poster for a very long time but have never really made my way over to this forum for whatever reason. it's neat seeing very long-time fans here still actively interested in H!P groups also

- age 29
- I am fairly certain I first discovered MM as a preteen through an ebaumsworld video of The Manpower! PV titled like, "crazy wacky Japanese music video!!" and have been a fan ever since
- my favorite all-time member is Kago Ai. I empathize with her a lot lol
- some current H!P idols I adore are Musubu and Masaki. I hate that it feels like h!p has stifled their ability to fully realize their potential as idols/artists/entertainers
- related to the above, I have a love-hate relationship with H!P, mostly because I feel like MM has been done dirty these past few years. New, enthusiastic and earnest talents like 15ki's Mei and refreshing releases like Lovepedia give me hope that MM will finally get the creative investment and ingenuity long-needed for them to realize its members' full potential and remain interesting... but idk anymore lol

Hi honey! Welcome to Jplop!

And welcome to everyone else so I don’t come off as rude. xD

Nice to see H!P fans that haven’t fully gone to the social media of the fandom.
