Wota Desu: My top 15 J-pop tracks of 2011
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-top-15-j-pop-tracks-of-2011.html
Monday, 26 December 2011. My top 15 J-pop tracks of 2011. Again, to be awkward, I have chosen a number to list, that probably no other blogger will. This year, has been particularly difficult on me, as there has - in my opinion anyway - been a veritable wealth of stunning music, from both within, and outside of the Hello! Like last year, I will start off with some 'honourable mentions' for songs that I really enjoyed, but didn't quite make the list;. First Honourable Mention;. Second Honourable Mention;.

Wota Desu: November 2009
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 7 November 2009. A bit Hangry but not that Angry. Well, my copy of the new Hangry and Angry CD - Sadistic Dance, arrived on the release date, from those lovely people at www.amazon.co.uk, and I was properly excited! To the best of my knowledge, this is the first proper UK release from anyone even remotely connected to the Hello! Project, and I just had to do my part to help them chart in the UK. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great album, and everyone in the UK should buy it, but it only gets...

Wota Desu: A lesson in coping with change and loss - or how I learned to re-love S/mileage in 48 hours
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2011/08/lesson-in-coping-with-change-and-loss.html
Friday, 26 August 2011. A lesson in coping with change and loss - or how I learned to re-love S/mileage in 48 hours. If you know me at all, you will know that Sakichii is my S/mileage oshimen, and has been for over a year now. At first, Kanyon was, but something happened to my interest in her when she cut her hair off after "Otona ni Narutte Muzukashii! If she's good enough for Chisato, then she's good enough for me! It was about 10 minutes later, that turbos86 (I think it was), posted a link to the S/mi...

Wota Desu: MM in Paris, part two.
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2010/06/mm-in-paris-part-two.html
Wednesday, 30 June 2010. MM in Paris, part two. I finally got to my fathers house, and spent a couple of days recuperating, and getting ready for my night time trip to Paris, to get to the FNAC store, as early as possible, so I can queue up for the autograph session there. Well, tonight is THAT night, and so I have packed, and it's time for the 3rd of my 4 different transports of delight, that are to take me to see the glorious Morning Musume in the flesh for the first time. 10 Years and Counting. Projec...

Wota Desu: July 2011
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 July 2011. Where does time go? It seems like only yesterday that I last updated this blog. Oh hang on, my nose seems to be growing. It's been way too long since I last blogged on here! Apart from my big post on New Years Day reviewing the previous years songs, I have neglected my poor blog, like an unwanted Egg. This is the first video, of well over 100. I'm not even IN Japan at this point, but standing on a freezing cold rail platform, at the start of a long, long journey. I arrive the day ...

Wota Desu: March 2010
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 March 2010. What is a wota? This will be a bit of a ramble, so you may want to skip to the end now :P. A lot has been said on the subject of what it is to be a Wota, and from what I can gather, the 'generally approved' viewpoint is that a Wota is someone who obsesses unhealthily with one specific Idol, or group (or sometimes more - like an umbrella group like the Hello! Ok, lets break all this down into it's component parts, and look at each one seperately. I can actually see why they do it.

Wota Desu: January 2010
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 9 January 2010. I recently had the fortune to get my grubby hands on a subbed version of Tsugunaga Momoko's latest solo DVD, Momo OK. As you can guess, this is a DVD that was created while she was doing the shots in Okinawa for her latest Photobook, Momochii. As always, Momo is not only beautiful to look at, but is also funny, and continually filled with exuberance, which is probably why I enjoyed this DVD so much. But the most prominent parts of this DVD are the many interludes where the photo...

Wota Desu: May 2010
http://wotadesu.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 May 2010. A little trip to London and one last thing. This week, I took a few days out of my hectic work schedule, to go down to the big smoke, and see Hangry and Angry perform in a dingy little box of a venue, called the Camden Underworld. Travelling down with my good friend Pete (sswishbone from H! A good vid, well worth watching. O in the Trocadero. Then we all set off for the concert (well, we may have stopped off for food on the way, in Tokyo). The concert its self was the next location, ...
