Site: As I mentioned last week I didn’t expect for school to get in the way of posting, and so far it seems like it won’t interfere that much since there hasn’t been that much homework. Despite that I mentioned a while ago that I was in the process of moving, and while it hasn’t affected posting that much I recently had to change my internet connection for the new place and as a result I don’t have a stable connection for a few days. This did end up affecting my posting for a few days (as you can tell from my lack of posts, my only post was part of the H!P Releases done this week), and while I expect to have it fixed by Monday it will delay a few things.
The H!P Poll results for 2011 post is done and it just needs a few images that I already have ready, unfortunately they’re in my laptop and I’m using a friend’s computer so I won’t be able to upload them until next week. Despite that I will have it up as soon as possible and so far I’m glad to see that it came out just as I planned since the info is easy to read and compare, so I hope everyone likes how it came out.
Links were updated but for some reason the images I used had a few problems (mainly the quality of the screenshot) so I’ll have to correct it as soon as I can (the page doesn’t have any updates since I had to edit the errors out). I’ll update the page by Monday when I get a stable internet connection.
Quickly I wanted to mention that there was a small addition to the site. As many of you might know the Upcoming Releases page has links to H!P goods and releases on HMV, CDJapan, and YesAsia. As always I want to provide links to the sites that H!P fans use more, and while it has taken a while I have added a new site to the available links:
I had planned on adding it eventually but I finally got a chance with this week’s H!P Releases post (thanks ladylibra92 for the links), and while the Upcoming Releases page hasn’t been updated with the new links it will be added as soon as the update for the entire page is done. The Upcoming Releases page hasn’t been updated in a while, so for now I’ll rely on the “H!P Releases” posts for the links to products and hopefully those who use Amazon.jp find the links useful since it seems like a great site to buy stuff, and while I haven’t ordered anything from the Japanese version of the site it should be fun to see how it’s recieved.
I have a lot of updates to post that I gathered earlier this week so I’ll catch up on them by next week, but sorry for the small lack of updates. Once I get a stable connection I’ll make up for lost time.
Social: 676 followers on Twitter and 576 fans on Facebook, and like every week a big thank you to everyone.
As mentioned above I don’t have a stable internet connection right now so I’ll have to delay a few updates I had for Facebook (mainly magazine scans, videos, etc). Once I fix that problem I’ll improve a few things in the Facebook page that I have planned for a while, it won’t be anything major but just a few fun things I want to try out.
I’m a bit too busy with my moving situation (a lot of delays and packing to do, it’s taking more time than I thought but we finally chose one), and between catching up on rest in between classes I haven’t been able to think about how many people to choose to help with the Facebook updates, so once I get the specifics down I’ll announce how to apply (posting is already well covered by Ayuchii, ladylibra92, and me so it will only be focused on Facebook).
If you don’t have a Facebook account then don’t worry, the updates can be viewed without an account, so feel free to check it out.
Thank you again to everyone who follows the site, our Twitter account, as well as the Facebook page!
Polls:
The winner for this poll was Shimizu Saki with 377 votes (36%), congratulations Captain! Okai Chisato came in second with 370 votes (36%), and Ishida Ayumi came in third with 288 votes (28%).
There was a total of 1,035 votes for this poll.
Congratulations Captain!
The fight for 1st place was interesting to follow since Chisa and Captain both had very close results, and while it was close Captain managed to get a few votes more than Chisa. I wanted to leave the poll open for a while more but due to the short internet time I have available I had to close it a bit early, although for the most part it seems like Captain had a clear win since there wasn’t much of an increase for an hour (in fact Captain got more votes in that time, about 7, than Chisa who got a few).
Ayumi did pretty well, she didn’t quite get that high of a result as the other two but it was interesting to see that she did get more than last week’s 3rd place. She seems to be a fan favorite so it’s just a matter of time until we get to see her among the winners.
For now Chisa and Captain had quite a tight finish and while a few more hours could have changed the totals a bit there wouldn’t have been that much of a change.
Good luck to Ayumi and Chisa in their next polls, but for now congratulations to Captain!
For the next poll it’s Nakajima Saki, Nakanishi Kana, and Tamura Meimi and since I don’t see any clear winner it will be fun to see how it turns out since there are two 2nd generation S/mileage members who haven’t had that much of a chance to establish their personality yet.
To make it easier for fans I will provide the direct link to the H!P poll HERE.

Shuukan Hello: Due to my lack of a stable connection I have to delay the video for a few days since the one I’m currently using right now is way to slow and since I have limited time I can’t upload the video now. Despite that I already have the Hello! Morning episode chosen and it’s just a matter of uploading it, so that should happen sometime around Monday at the latest.
Sorry for the delay but by next week I should have a stable connection to get the videos up.
