This is not first time I see fan made picture of C-ute’s Chisato with gun. And that keeps me still wondering what’s behind this rather odd set of young girl & handgun.
In this case the context is C-ute’s forthcoming great single Forever Love. Here in this fan art we see Chisato almost like taken out of one scene of Quentin Tarantino’s (hah ha, again that director) Reservoir Dogs.
Back to the question. It’s well known fact that girls or women and arms go well together in adult entertainment world. It’s kind of fetish thing. Some find that combination even seductive. But as we have here young 14 years old girl with shiny gun I hear somewhere in the distance an alarm bell ringing. Actually there must be two alarms ringing in the same time.
If it’s not erotic desire this picture is trying to light up then what it is? Is this only cute composition? Or is there any deeper meaning, some kind of hidden message, in it? I guess I have no smart answers to these questions. But for me these fictional works of Chisato with guns are just cool. Without any sexual nor deeper meanings.

It’s now over 5 years ago when I began to run kakko-ii.com. In the beginning of 2003 I got this domain and was surprised that this kind of cool name was still available. During first months here wasn’t anything noteworthy going on. I kept this site as my picture storage place and here was only two photo albums for my online friends. Back then I was quite active member at MM-BBS and I had here also collection of member photos from that forum.
In the beginning
Then came summer 2003 and I started thinking that kakko-ii.com should be something more than just my almost private storage space. I had been collecting Hello! Project related pictures from the web some years then and I thought why not show them also to other H!P fans. It was late summer when Kakko-ii’s H!P Picture Gallery was up and running. Since then our portal’s main feature has been this Gallery.
During first years I had also plans to broaden site’s content to cover H!P news. But as I did not find any contributors from Japan I gave up with that plan. Also at that time there came up a couple of new sites those delivered J-pop & H!P news so I thought there wasn’t room for another same sort of service.
The work must be done
As I am pedantic, systematic and maybe even ambitious I must confess that taking care of our Gallery drives me sometimes into minor or even bigger crisis. It’s not only that I want to keep Gallery regularly updated but I also want all pictures there to be correctly re-named, dated and put to right photo sets & categories. In other words: that means lot of work to do and sometimes I feel that it’s too much for me to carry on. Especially when I do this as a hobby without paycheck or compensation. Hah, kakko-ii.com takes my time and my money. Kind of miracle that I’m still here and running this site.
I can’t yet say that “It’s been a long journey” but many things has anyway happened in these 5 years when kakko-ii.com has been online. In late summer 2003 Morning Musume released their Shabondama single introducing fresh 6th gen members first time on MM record. It was time when Morning Musume had 15 members and Mini Moni was still alive (although Ai-chan had replaced Marippe). Since those days many things have changed in Tsunku’s Dynasty. For me the most significant positive thing has been the rise of Berryz Kobo. But there has also been not so glorious moments in H!P’s last five years. If I bring up Aibon’s name you know what I mean. I can’t say how happy I am that Ai Kago is fine and now back in business.
Berryz changed everything
When Berryz Kobo then came and suddenly took my heart it was inevitable that sooner or later this group is going to show up also in kakko-ii.com. Actually my first Berryz Kobo blog was at VOX. Then I left VOX and moved my blog under the kakko-ii.com domain. It was called Kakko-ii Berryz Limited Edition. If you have any interest you can check these blogs because they are still online. Some months went by with KBLE before I realised that berryz-kobo-international.com domain name was still free & available. I got that domain and new server location & account and moved once again my BK blog. I’m still amazed that Up-Front International had not taken this domain name. So from the beginning of 2008 Berryz Kobo International has been up and I’ve been busy with a blog there. I’m confident that in the future BKI is going to have more content than just a blog.
How cool ?
When talking about blogs, our main kakko-ii.com site has had this blog (you are now reading) running now over two years. Unfortunately I have had less time & energy to keep this blog rockin’ because of BKI blog. Earlier I tried to have here contributors but in almost every case it didn’t work out very well. One thing I learned then was that there is always a risk when you ask people who have their own blogs to contribute also your blog. It’s easy to understand that when you are working with your own blog(s) you have less time to other activities. Hope you girls who were doing some blog entries here are doing well where ever you are now.
And then there is my mate Wu-san. I was lucky to have him to our blog team. As you active J-pop/rock blogosphere surfers might know, Wu-san has an unique subjective style of writing. I enjoy reading his observations on J-pop/rock artists & music and also on life itself, on those little things that make a difference. I just hope that Wu-san has still time for kakko-ii.com although he has also his own blogs.
The future of kakko-ii.com then? You never know. At this moment there is not too dark clouds on sight but there might come time when Gallery section of this site could be on my cut down list. As long as I enjoy doing this you can trust that kakko-ii.com is alive.
Some site statistics
In August 2008 kakko-ii.com had 29.011 visitors and most busiest month so far was this year’s April with 139.827 visitors.
Visitors by country Top Ten looks like this: 1. United States, 2. Thailand, 3. Japan, 4. Hong Kong, 5. Korea, 6. Canada, 7. Russian Federation, 8. China, 9. France and 10. Malaysia.
Looking back
Sept 2003 - First version of kakko-ii.com front page. Risa has outfit she was wearing in Shabondama PV.
Sept 2003 - Photo Gallery pages looked like this at that time. As you can see Gallery had still more than just H!P pictures. Also MM-BBS members portraits were there.
April 2004 - Before Forum we had simple Guestbook. Mokyomi & Lainay were two of those active members back then.
Nov 2004 - Sites front page in the end of 2004. Reina love.
Now 2004 - Also Gallery was having some layout changes. New Forum was just opened.
Jan 2005 - New year and completely new candy layout. Konkon in header banner with that sweet smile.
July 2005 - It was again time to change layout. Terrible Twins a.k.a. Double U rocked our socks. We got new feature: Remote Picture Archive where I uploaded those old photos I had removed from Gallery. Arcive is still running.
July 2006 - I made my first blog entry for Kakko-ii.com’s new front page blog. It was time when Miya came and made me her slave.
July 2006 - Previous version of our Forum was as simple as can be. You see there names those I’ve not seen anymore around.
Rii, is everything all right ?
Posted by Zush in Zush's playground
At first I was starting to wonder why my beloved Berryz girl was always wearing loose blouses. It was rather odd choice from her because Rii looks much better with tighter fitting clothes. For example in Berryz vs. C-ute Battle concerts Rii had that unflattering pink blouse that was like tent on her. You can call me sexistic or what ever but I love girls whose body shapes I can clearly see. And this doesn’t mean that she should be anorectic thin or something like that. It rather means that she should feel comfortable with herself and her body. In Rii’s case it seems that the girl is desperately trying to hide her body. She sure does not look like feeling comfortable.
Then I thought her recent dressing style could be a result of UFA making her a sexy cover star of BK. As she has already been doing many photo books with plenty of bikini shots this could be now kind of defense reaction for that. Maybe Rii just don’t want to be that kind of sex object and I really can’t blame her about that.
But now when I watched that new battle concert DVD I got even more worried about dear Rii. If we are talking in percentages I think she is giving only 70% of her in these spring concerts. She is even looking clumsy in some scenes and we indeed have seen her much more spirited and lively before. My heart is almost crying when I see Rii’s confused face. During those spring concerts her fitness must have been at her careers all time lowest point. Does she have enough night sleep? Is she eating too much junk food? Is the stress of being photographers pet object killing her? Does she feel ashamed of her maturing, fine and shapely body?
I’ve been chatting on Rii’s condition with Jam at our kakko-ii forum. This dialog started with my cautious remark on Rii’s fitness. Our chat sums up pretty clearly how much we care about Rii and also other H!P kids.
zush:
Been watching that concert now three times. There is something… uh, I’m a little bit worried about Rii and her fitness.
Jam:
i’ve been a little afraid to say it, but the child is getting fat. and not even maasa fat, actual fat. i wonder what’s behind it? people keep saying it’s her age, but i don’t think so. i don’t know a single person who would have just suddenly gained so much weight. and risako does practise lots of dancing, so it shouldn’t be lack of acitivity either. i seriously am a little worried about her, because it is a bit weird to suddenly go from normal & healty to chubby.
though, i don’t really think her as fat. but if she keeps going with this speed, it won’t take long to reach that goal.
p.s. i’m not being rude. really.
zush:
@ Jam > No. you are not rude. That’s what it looks now. She just have some kg:s too much and that’s why it affects to her dancing, overall genkiness and all. Yeah, that’s what worries me a lot these days.
I guess I’m with those ppl who say that at least partly her recent fitness is a result of her growing up. But yeah, that can’t be the only reason.
Hmmm, when I’m worried about her it shows how much I like her.
Jam:
@zush
came to my mind that i hope she won’t turn this into anorexia or anything. because it could easily happen; suddenly gaining weight, feeling insecure about herself, then starting to loose weight and wanting to be perfect. it wouldn’t be the first time among h!p either (call me stupid, i don’t care) but i’m 100% that’s what happened with yossi. she was a little chubby at one point, and then she became a skeleton. stress doesn’t do that, images in your head do.
i definitely wish risako to loose her extra weight with the healthy ways, and not to quit eating.
zush:
@ Jam > It’s not easy to be a cover girl as she has been. And I think Rii has always had a bit low self-esteem because she is the youngest of them all. Maybe that’s why she tries so hard to be a perfect girl.
And maybe she at this moment she is in the middle of some kind of personal crisis. There are many expectations she is facing all the time. “Try to learn to be a better singer”, “Try to please UFA when doing for example those photo books” etc. etc. And what if she really has a boyfriend now? It’s more than ordinary stress when you try to keep your private life hidden and away from Friday and such magazines.
Jam:
@zush
yep. everytime i see people going all “omg i so wanna be part of h!p they’re having so much fun”, i really would like to slap them in the face. seems like it does take some brain to realize that these girls aren’t only physical miracles, but also emotional. they can very easily be compared to britney spears in their stress level imo. and it also makes me mad to see people ranting about airi’s, miya’s, maimi’s and risako’s succes (yes, i hate the fact chisato will never publish a photobook, but i accept it. airi has deserved her 3 PB’s, so has risako.), they don’t seem to get that the girls actually have worked for it. i’m not saying the others don’t, but it’s true. chisato, kanna, captain and maasa could be cover girls if they wanted to, but to me it seems like they don’t; they just want to be theirselves and not fake it all the time. the cover girls of these groups are total hardcore’s at stress handling.
.. and my mind goes also to momoko. the girls is a miracle. i don’t give a shit to people who complain about her nasal voice, sticking out her butt and pinky, doing everything perfectly cute. because those people could never do the same. i mean c’mon, there’s no way momoko really is like that- no way. she’s the perfect idol. she can pull herself together in any kind of situations. people who say she just happens to be a kawaii-kind of a person are wayyyyy wrong. she’s pro.
a great example of this is the video where she and bitchy!chisa are trying to find a unit partner. when chisato says that she’d never want to duet with momoko, you can see her emotionally crushing down for a second. and then she gets herself together. she’s really strong, she must be facing shit like that everyday in her job. at times i just really wonder how many times momoko has sat on her bed and simply cried out because of the stress she gets from always being so perfect.
zush:
@ Jam > as you said, it’s not never ending holiday & just having fun when you are an idol and especially if you are a child or teen star. It’s hard and stressful WORK with lot of sweat & tears. If you have seen clips from those training sessions they are having when learning new choreographies and stuff you can have a slight sense what’s it all about. That’s why I give them my highest respect.
Miyabi is still The One

If I’m not careful, the delightful legs of Chii will surely over power me in ways I can only ever dream of. So let’s check out what Miya’s got to offer me. She is after all my number one Berryz. It would, by all intents an purposes, be obsurd not to want to delve into some sort of unhealthy obsession over her. Lets see if we can make something happen.
Well, to be honest her Wiki.theppn.org page is a waste of time. Maybe I’m just not feeling it, whatever that should come to mean, but for some reason I find her profile so very uninteresting. To be honest I only raised an eyebrow at her being scared of monsters and cockroaches. But then, you’d be some crazy bastard if you found monsters a bit of a laugh, and cockroaches a bloody good time. Really, there’s nothing excitable about that. Like Chii, Miya’s easy to anger, although she differs by being a little shy. On the one hand, groping a shy girl is pretty damn sexy. On the other hand though, she might just stab you. I guess not knowing which reaction you’d get is a bit of a turn on, although somewhat dangerous.
Apparently her charm point is her small ears. What? Has she felt up her chin lately? It’s a pretty epic piece of biology, that thing. An architect needs to blueprint her face for something magical, because somehow I want a house in the shape of it. I’d have slides coming from her nostrils and leading into some sort of underground weapons factory. Although it’d produce weapons that shoot out rainbows or something. The world’s full of bullets already. What we need are love rainbows. Miya ones.
Moving onto her recent B.L.T U-17 questionare though, it’s a little more interesting and current. It looks like Miya’s confidence is growing somewhat, what with her declaring she has no weaknesses. Now that’s what I like to see in my girls. A little bit of fight. Not enough to scare me off, but enough to curb or contradict that alluring shyness she reckons she possesses. Apparently she’s also feminine and sometimes cool. Well that’s definitely a bit of win. I cant ever see butch, manly women being my kind of thing in all honesty, so it’s good news that Miya’s a pansy at heart.
Get this: she was 6 when she had her first love! When I was six I was wetting the bed and blaming it on aliens. Can you form crushes at 6? I’m deadly curious now. I think my first crush was at 10, and I guess you’d consider this as being a late bloomer then? Hmmmm. There’s more on the questionnaire and I admit that I pilfered through a lot of the answers, but there’s certainly room for Miya to cement her place at the top of my Berryz Koubou ranking list. I guess I’m going to have to work at it some more though, because Chii’s dangerously close with her being damn right bumpylicious.
With Miya, she’s like the Kamei of BK for me. On my side of things I want to share romantic situations with her. Whereas Chii is kind of a dirty thing for me right now. To be honest the former is a lot more important for me, regardless of my filthy mouth sometimes, and so I suspect that Miya’s going to stick around for a long while to come.
(Screencaptures from Miyabi Natsuyaki Making DVD Special Edition from 2007)
I guess these hamomoni@ official pictures of Usa-Sayumi are trying to tell us something.
And my answer is of course: “Yes, please, I want to play your games, sensei Sayu!”
This happened for me last week. To make long story shorter…
I was laying at home on my futon couch and looking at Koharu. I was pretty surprised because she was sitting on me with her legs outspread, smiling at me and talking something. I didn’t understand a word. Maybe I was just too amazed on that situation so that my ears didn’t hear nothing else but kind of chaotic symphony.
Now you might be thinking about something really lewd & sleazy scene but I swear we both had our clothes on. Koha was wearing pink set of t-shirt and sweat pants and her hair was tied in ponytail. Very casual but also girly.
So there I was staring up at Koharu who was then writing something on her tiny notepad. To be honest, there was one question spinning in my mind: Should I do my first move? After all, I’m a normal man and she is a sensual girl.
When she had done her writing she handed me a small sheet she had ripped off from her notepad. I took it and saw a row of numbers on it. Then, first time, I clearly understood what Koha was saying.
”Please give me a call. Promise. I must go now”, she spoke and got up.
And at that moment I woke up and realised it was only dream I was experiencing. Not a wet dream as you can guess but just an ordinary dream. Or maybe not so ordinary after all. It’s very rare that I can remember my dreams. And when I had Koharu in my dream it was even more unique case.
If I only could remember that phone number she gave me.
Well, my progression into the land of Berryz Koubou has really, really taken a back seat to almost everything else H!P related, and indeed anything J-pop related. Oh dear. Still, there’s always something to ramble on about, as pointless as it may be.
Now, I realise that Berryz Koubou are worth the trouble of obsessing over, yet I just cant seem to ground myself into a good, unhealthy amount of fixating yet. I’m sure it’ll come once I get off of my ass, and there was a brief period where I crammed over much of BK’s discography for, well, for a week, but right now I’m using my time for other things. Chinami, where’s your Photobook already? That ought to do it. And then some.
You shouldn’t dare expect thoughtful writing on my trying to obsess over BK, you must know that. We’re at the beginning here, where I’m purely driven on my sex-drive. It’s primitive, sure, but then nothing else has captivated me just yet. Wait, apart from a b-side…and Chinami. I know Miya rated first on my member rankings and that still sticks, but sometimes you get horny, and anything after that is only ever Chinami. You know I’m right. Catch me on a day when I’m swearing metaphors at you like some bastard poet and things change just a little, but right now it’s pretty damn evident that I’ve reverted to being a pervert.
Clearly I want to talk about Chinami some more, so lets just write what comes naturally. Obviously, this series of mine has no real structure, and I love it.
Chinami:
There’s no doubting that I’ve got wiki.theppn.org open right now, right on Chinami’s page. It’s the only way to learn about future I cant stop thinking about you idol crushes. Well, not always. You should see how shit AAA’s pages are. Great, Nissy, I know when you were born. Now how do you like your coffee in the morning? Which side of the bed do you want? And the rest please.
Apparently, Chinami sleeps with her eyes half open. Not that I’d ever get to experience this rather bizarre quirk of sorts, I can still imagine. It’s pretty terrifying, and I can imagine that it’d look absolutely hideous. I mean, she’s in a sloth, vegetable state, and there she is gawking at you, or something. I couldn’t sleep next to that, I’m sorry. It’s the pillow cover for you Chii. With the nose shapes cut out for breathing so you don’t die. I’m not ready to do jail time just yet. I’m saving that for the knife fight my friend and I are going to have in the future, by a mountain range boasting a waterfall. We’ve already predicted that I loose though. So unless they want to haul my corpse into a cell, wait…what am I going on about now?
Also, Chii’s supposed to get mad straight away when she doesn’t like something. Great. I’ve been saving a lot of bad jokes for someone. And when I go in for a grope she can tell me she’s not happy with my dirty ways, and then it’ll be too late by then. Security will be punching me in the face but my arms will still be caressing as best they can until they fall off or something. Still, what’s Chii’s meat to bone ratio? - oh god, I should really phrase that better - could you seriously get a good cuddle with her? I mean you just know you could engulf yourself with JunJun, and it’d be like some magical cushion with boobs and legs and face and bum cheeks. Could Chii boast such an awesome hug? Don’t ask how I got from getting mad to groping.
Oh, she doesn’t like mushrooms. I’d love to chase her down the street throwing mushrooms at her from my wicker basket full of mushrooms, in a giant, oversized, comically misguided mushroom suit. I personally love mushrooms myself, and have even been known to take them raw. I wonder how this would effect our imaginary relationship, which so far consists of pillowcase wearing of the head when sleeping, groping and mushroom suits.
Chii likes badminton. Superb! I love badminton. She hates ice-skating. Me too! We have so much in common. We can hit a shuttle cock about together whilst we talk nasty about people who like the ice, clearly morose about it because we’re both shit at it. Maybe we can go to a rink and throw potatoes at them, like little trolls or something. We’d make good, evil, potato wielding trolls I think. What do you think?
There’s more on there, mostly standard fare. The fact that I’m twisting simple things into stupid things is evidence of that, really. But she seems fun enough. So yes, I’d like to be her boyfriend please.
Man, can someone update her details though? They’re dated to 2004. I’m hoping her hobbies are now in fact dreaming about wu-san. You never bloody know, do you?
I wonder if Zush will post this? It’s a tad ridiculous.
