Manoeri Gran Prix

I finally was able to catch "Hanbun Espa" after being taunted before work. Of course if you compare the acting to any average JDrama, its pretty bad. Its what you should expect from most Dramas starting multiple Idols. As far as Erina's improvement since her last drama, she hasn't come very far. But I won't scold her just yet, it was only the first episode anyway. Takahashi Ai was also present in the first episode. Although she looked stunning in the professional attire and glasses, her acting was just as bad. I was bummed by the opening song too, besides it has to wallow in Haru no Arashi's shadow. I'd rather it be for the TV show though, than one of her actually singles; I'm thankful for that. I wouldn't doubt it if we see it on her second album though. Hopefully by the end of this drama she will have improved, but I'm not expecting any miracles any time soon. As for the overall drama; cute. I probably wouldn't be watching it if I was into Hello! Project though.

I did fix the opening to my liking, I'll post it below for your viewing pleasure.



One other thing is keeping my excitement up for Erina the past couple of weeks. Her new Photobook and DVD taking place in the beautiful Yakushima is almost here. There is new preview that was released on DohhhUp! today. Of course like I mentioned, the place is amazing. If you have ever seen anyone of the Hayao Miyazaki movies like "Spirited Away" or "Princess Mononoke" you'll recognize the landscape. I hope we'll get to see "Haru no Arashi - Yakushima Version" Like her Guam DVD had.



I've noticed a lot more people like her now. It's not that people are just finding out who she is. Erina's talent has improved and with it comes the new fans. Please give her your support!
