Just to inform, I was into Momusu before AKB came into my life, Mikitty was my Oshi and shipped the hell out of her with Reina! Yeah, I know how weird that was! Everyone I knew and know that was into Morning Musume then shipped anyone else but these two! Mikitty and Ayaya were like the Mayuki of H!P and then there was either Rika or Hitomi. Reina on the other hand I remember mostly it was with Eri or Ai. Any way I do have a history with H!P but for some reason I wasn’t that into the other groups because they were very young! These passed years though I have gotten to like them, like Berryz with Kuma-chan being my Oshii and Mai in C-ute! Juice=Juice is very new and the only sub-group I have known since its birth! Don’t think anyone agrees with me but I think that it is the best of the sub-groups in H!P at the moment, until MM15 gets moving.

Any way, when AKB came into my life, Morning Musume got kind of buried especially when the Mikitty times came to pass and i have not gotten the mojo back until MM15 happened! Sure Harunan stole my heart the moment I caught sight of her but the members were not doing anything for me except Shige, er I mean Sayu-chan. So I waited, at the same time the other sub-groups were coming out of the Momusu shadows and claiming my attention.Still I kept an eye out for when MM would do something to awaken the dead part it claimed in my heart and the awakening started during the ‘Help Me’ single! I really love that song and it got my Momusu part of the heart start beating but still, I only occasionally just checked out their new A-side singles!

Then 12th Gen hit and I couldn’t stop media hunting just to get back into the mix of things with the current Morning Musume! Sadly these days their TV appearances are lacking compared to before and I hope H!P brings more variety shows on air! I want to get to know these girls even more and from other groups too like Juice=Juice and Angeme! But for the moment I settled for The Girls Live show, The Online Haro Pro show and the PV goodness! I thought so before and I still do but H!P’s PVs are the damn best looking PVs from Idol groups! AKB has nothing on them in that category!

But while all that is good and everything, the reason for starting these H!P posts is to share the  ships I have settled on and today I am starting with Morning Musume 15 of course…

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 

HaruMaria

First up is Morning Musume 15’s Harunan (Ikubo Haruna)  and Maria (Makino Maria)! Without beating around the bush, to best describe to you what these girls mean to me is by comparing them to AKB and in that sense, these two are like the H!P version of YukiRena!!! That’s how much this ship means to me! Harunan is hands down, my No.1 H!P girl who came and de-throned Kuma-chan as easily as Yukirin did the WOshimas of the 48 Family! That’s another similarity these two combis have! Harunan is just a God-send. I love everything from her looks to her personality! But I was waiting for someone to fit her and while Sayu-chan was kinda getting there, she just had to go and graduate just at the right moment (T.T) Ah but God is in Heaven and All is Right With The World as we got the perfect glove in the form of 12th Gen member Makino Maria (When her name is shortened it’s MM lol)!

As if the glove wasn’t perfect already, H!P goes and pulls a AKS with their PVs where they like to pair up YukiRena and as such H!P went and did the thing, they too paired up HaruMaria!!! Just like YukiRena these two are have that height ceiling that I love so much and also too perfect a fit with each other just like YukiRena! Harunan being one of the two sub-leaders to Mizuki and in addition the mentor to said 12th gen members, puts her personality-wise closer to Yukirin. The only thing she lacks is that Blackness! Maria is still very new to the scenes so I haven’t gotten used to her just yet but I can already tell her personality is very different from Rena’s, though there is this look on her face sometimes in the PVs where I believe she might have a little monster yet to b awakened inside her heart. We shall see…

So anyway, there I am searching for the DVD Magazines hoping to find one with 12th Gen members and voila! It just released this week too! How luck can one get! Not only does it have the 12th Gen members but within was enough HaruMaria goodness to send me into a happiness coma! It isn’t the quantity but rather that I wasn’t expecting yet and there there it was! And not that this ship of mine but there was some gay moments in there too like this Kabe-don madness…

Duu x Zukki
 

 
Mizuki x Zukki
 
 

Maria x Zukki

I think this was some kind of punishment for this team but we all know no one thought of it as such, really! Mizuki’s reaction was the best and the girls agree too. She is such a girl that one ^^ And seriously, has anyone found out yet the true sex of Haruka? Is Duu a boy or a girl? I still can’t tell!

in addition to this, there is something I picked up about Sakura and a certain 12th Gen member which I believe is a thing but I have not any information about them so I will leave them for now. Enough about those others though, let’s get down to the meat of things…

The bestest moment was of course when Maria came over with some chocolate which she fed to Harunan! Harunan then proceeded to break down in happy tears >.< If I wasn’t shipping these two already before watching this get-away, this would have been an instant stamp of approval! This wasn’t all…

 
 
 
 

The next best moment was towards the end, actually the very last scene which gives it that much more impact, is when Harunan, Ayumi and Masaki are pulling that kind of gad which I guess was being caught on another camera. The capture caught a weird capture of Harunan’s face and Erina was like, ‘I’m gonna say it, that was ugly!’. Harunan says it’s okay to be ugly as long as one’s heart is not ugly too. But you could see she was hurt. Guess who was watching? That’s right, Maria. The camera spins on her as she says Harunan was really cute right then. Haruna’s response was to embarrassedly hide her face in her hands and evacuate the perimeter. Then the screen fades to black!

Like, how cute was this moment!!!? If this was a cliffhanger to an episode then following episode would be the most highly watched episode of the series! Seriously! Oh but there’s more…

 

Like what even…In this scene I believe Harunan was washing pans but what I want to know is WTH was Maria doing?! Come on girl, this is no time to be flirting, there is work that needs doing! But even after Harunan reprimands her she still sticks so close like there was some kind of magnetic pull btn the two…Ahhhh

Everyone is standing in a circle shoulder to shoulder but don’t mind Maria, she will just be over there chilling behind Harunan. No biggie…

 

Whether this is part of the choreography or not I don’t care! I’m onto you Maria…

 
 
 
 
I said I’m onto you Maria!!

Seriously though, how perfect these two are and oh so shippable! Sure there is a 6 year difference (Just like CBS *chuckle*) but you couldn’t tell just from the looks, eh! Either way, they managed to get me back into H!P and I am from on an active fan once again!

Up next is SayuTomo.
