Revision as of 04:39, 9 January 2014


  • Americans Hate Tingle: Western fans of H!P will sometimes declare that Coconuts Musume was the worst group ever in the history of Hello! Project, whereas everyone else cares just as much about Coconuts as they do any other defunct H!P group.
  • Base Breaker: Coconuts Musume is this for many western H!P fans. Mika and Ayaka are usually forgiven (the first being half Japanese and the latter fully Japanese), Danielle specifically gets the most flack despite not actually being the worst at speaking Japanese.
  • Contractual Purity: Many H!P members have been fired for such things as underage smoking or being seen with a boyfriend.
  • Ear Worm: A LOT, but especially Koharu's stuff.
    • Mini Moni had some really catchy songs.
      • Well everyone in H!P sings so...
  • Fan Nickname: Nearly everyone. They also have fan ASCII faces.
  • Face of the Band: EVERY group, but in the more extreme cases:
    • Morning Musume: Takahashi Ai and Tanaka Reina, and before, Abe Natsumi.
    • Berryz Koubou: Sugaya Risako
    • C-ute: Suzuki Airi and Yajima Maimi
    • S/mileage: Maeda Yuuka, and after her graduation, they're focusing in Fukuda Kanon and Tamura Meimi.
    • Mini Moni mostly focused on Hawaiian born Half Australian Half Japanese Mika Todd in interviews.
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: Any joke about Iida Kaori regarding Motherhood or Childbirth. Especially appearances when she was actually pregnant. Other references that aren't meant to be funny are Harsher in Hindsight.
  • Les Yay: GAM's PV for Melodies basically operates on the premise of Girl On Girl Is Hot, obviously also qualifies as Ship Tease for Matsuura Aya and Fujimoto Miki.
    • Apprently former Morning Musume member Junjun really likes Berryz Koubou captain Shimizu Saki.

   Kamei Eri: Those two have a bit of a suspicious relationship.
