My First Real Entry

It’s been quite a while since I’ve kept a blog. I was there right from the beginning, you know, before anyone knew what a blog was.

“A blog you say? That sounds absolutely marvellous! I used to keep rabbits, you know. Horrible things. Smelly.”

But that was then and this is now. We’re on the other side of the great blog bubble. User-generated content has moved on. Youtube, My Space and Facebook have all had their day in the sun. Now it seems Twitter is taking over. Who would have believed it? RSS meets SMS in the form of Ashton Kutcher. Still The written word is back, and that has to be a good thing. After all, there’s no idea too complex it can’t be expressed in 140 characters, right?

Right?

Well, maybe not. Let’s be honest, for every Stephen Fry, John Dickerson or Scott Simpson,  there are 10,000 Cheryls with views on shoes. Still, I’m inspired.  Keep it short and simple. Brief, even. That’s my plan.

Brevity times levity = Good times.

And I have a theme! The world of Japanese pop music. More specifically, artists within, or related to, the Hello! Project stable.

Brief briefings from the world of H!P. In other words… H!Pster Briefs.

Yeah, it’s a cheap pun. I know.

I’m not proud.

So, if you’ve an interest in the comings and goings of Morning Musume and other J-pop idols, bookmark me. Or ignore me.

Actually, I suppose you could do both.
