Little Japanese Girl Bands

I love little Japanese girl bands. They dance and sing to really fast uplifting music and the little girls are soooo cute. It is great, seriously, super fast uplifting music + cute little Jap girls = me with a giant smile on my face. The music by itself is pretty good as the girls have cute voices and the music is catchy, but where these type of bands really shine is the music videos. The music videos are done real well and professionally, as a company that is making tons of money off these girls funds the production I am sure. In the videos the girls always have an interesting dance and it is very well choreographed and it is fun to watch the cute girls do their cute lil dance moves. I watch a good little Japanese girl band music video for hours upon hours, these videos fill my heart with glree and happiness. They are pretty much what I live for. Really, when I watch a music video for 100+ times I notice new things, there is so much going on, and sometimes I will find new things a girl does that is cute. It is also fun to memorize the dances my self and do them in my room when no one is looking.

Looking at the girls in these bands gives me the same feeling when looking at a super cute baby meowy, which is just a rush of “awwwwwwwwwww” in a high pitch noise in my head. It really does please me, and it is nothing less than genius to put a group of these girls together and have them sing and dance to good music, GENIUS!

My favorite two bands, and by favorite two I mean the only two that I have actually heard of, are Hinoi Team and Morning Musume. Hinoi Team is a group of four cute little Japanese girls whose leader is named Hinoi. Morning Musume is a highly commercialized band with 11-14 members in it, and these members are often changed a lot as members get too old. These girls range in ages from about 8-17 roughly. Morning Musume means “morning sister” in Japanese, and for a long time I thought the name was Morning Museum, lol. I actually discovered Morning Musume because one of their songs was said to have been copied from a 1979 German Disco Pop Band called Dschinghis Khan. I discovered Morning Musume but really did not like them incredibly a lot and didn’t fall in love with them until a few years after their discovery, but now I love them, they have a plethora of good music videos and because there are soooo many girls in the band it just looks so crazy seeing all the lil cute Japanese girls jumping around, and dancing, and singing.

In between my discovery and falling in love with Morning Musume I discovered Hinoi Team. They don’t have as many music videos as Morning Musume, but the first video that I discovered of them is the best little girl Japanese song ever made, so overall I say they are not just on par with Morning Musume, but better! I was shown this video, Night of Fire, by a good man named Kuta, and at first I was just like, “woaaa, cute lil Japanese girls dancing to super fast hilarious music”, but I was not instantly in love with it. But then after watching it about 10 times I started to fall in love with the video. A great moment with the song Night of Fire is when I and 9 other people ran the WOW instance UBRS really really shittily and while playing this song over vent the whole time. We all didn’t really try and should have died so many time, especially against the final boss, but somehow we did now and we prevailed and did not die once with the angel that is Night of Fire on our side.

What is so great and unique about Hinoi Team is that for some of their videos they have this fat Japanese guy who wears stupid outfits like Speedos who dances with them! He looks so dumb, and he blatantly looks out of place dancing with them; the girls’ moves are all crisp and his seem slower and sloppier. He makes really dumb faces and stuff, and in one video he eats part of a hot dog and throws the rest of it over his shoulder and makes a really dumb face that makes me scream in giddy joy every time I see it. Unfortunately the fat guy is no longer with the band, one of the girls even cried during the last time they performed together, awwwwwwwww.

Almost all of Hinoi Team’s songs are covers of Euro-beat songs. Euro-beat is like fast faced European songs. These Euro-beat songs are kind of “Meh” on their own. Some are okay, but with Hinoi Team doing them, OMG, it is amazing. The formula goes like this, “Euro-Beat songs + cute lil Jap girls = Musical Gold.

Now, Hinoi team doesn’t retire their members like Morning Musume, and this means they are getting close to being adults. When I first discovered Hinoi Team the girls were ages 13 and 14, but now they are ages 15 and 16 (2 of each, it is a 4 girl band btw). And in one of their more recent videos they dance much more provocatively. They are still really cute, but they are starting to lean more towards the side of sexy. They were always a little sexy, but before they were so young and their cuteness waaaay overwhelmed their sexy attraction. Now, with not just their age but the type of dancing they do, Hinoi Team is becoming more like an American band with sexy girls who dress and dance all hot and sluty. With their newest video my penis gets just as excited watching it as my cuteness receptor in my brain. It is weird, but they are still really cute, I am curious how the band will evolve, although it will probably just dissolve soon, as they will be too old, and the girls will try their hands on single careers. The leader, Hinoi, already has single career, but the type of music these cute little Jap girls do by themselves is usually: slower, less cute, and is just not the same. They are cuter in a group. For me to love them it has to be a group of cute Japanese girls singing, not just one.

While typing this, I had the song Sexy Boy by Morning Musume playing in the background the whole time, tee hee!

BTW, the image is Reina Tanaka from Morning Musume in the song Sexy Boy, I love that little thumbs up she gives during that music video, so cute!!!!
