Super Special Bumper Deluxe Review Spectacular Number Two

So, review time. Two albums to review this time. Momusu's 12 Smart, and Yuikaori's Puppy. Doubt I'll bother doing the Passpo album. Quite old now.

So, let's begin with the most recent one.

Morning Musume. - 12, Smart


Preamble: Some angelic theme going on with the cover. It's not particularly effective, but as it marks Aichan's final demise and ascent to non-idoldom, I'll just celebrate.

Idol Body Parts Top 10 Series: Part 1

I've got a lot of stuff on my mind at the moment. After doing the Idol Guitar Solos list at the beginning of last month, my word count generator ground to a bit of a halt. The ideas, on the other hand, kept piling up. I need to do a proper blog on the return of some of my favourites to the idoldom fold, and still have three albums to review (Momusu 12, Yuikaori's Puppy and the Passpo one I never got around to in my last post on here). Plus, of course, it's getting close to Year in Review time. This year I might start writing them a bit earlier than last year, as last year I ended up writing something stupid like 4000 words a day every day for a few days in a row.

But before all that, it's time for perversion.

There are a hell of a lot of fetishes in the world. I can say I have quite a few of the human body-related ones. Actually, make that most. Therefore I decided to make a blog, listing the top ten of all the various bodyparts. However, Dean (who is currently writing for Yonasu) prevailed on me to do every list in detail, with rather a lot of picspam to prove why each person made the top ten.

So I did.

These rankings will, of course, be based completely on my own personal taste. I'm quite aware that my personal taste is questionable (*cough元彼女cough*) but oh well.

So, anyway. The body parts that will have a top ten of them done are as follows:
  • Breasts (ie. actual ones)
  • DFC (delicious flatchest. Tits that ain't)
  • Ass
  • Legs
  • Feet
  • Clavicle
  • Lips
  • Belly/Waist/Hips/Pelvis (that general area)
  • Back
9 posts to do then. I'm not doing them in any particular order, I'll just write up when I've actually decided on my top ten. Some of them will, of course, be controversial. But then, this is idols we're talking about. I didn't do one for face, because then I'd be sure to make a category for "Worst" and have Aichan there.

Also not going to do some more higher level fetishes because I don't think the wotasphere is yet ready for a series of blogs on "which idol I most want to tie up" or "which idol I would most like to drink the piss of."

...

Well, that lowered the tone, didn't it.

Anyway, some general criteria I'm randomly deciding:
  1. Gender doesn't matter. On the other hand I'm more into women than men, so obviously only Matsujun and Kame will make any of the lists. If at all.
  2. Age doesn't matter. So on one hand, Nakazawa Yuko might be included. On the other hand, Kudou Haruka might.
  3. Eligibility. People who are or have been an idol who has been in a group of which at least one single has been released. This means that Shinozaki Ai and Irie Saaya can be included. Which of course locks out 2 of the places in the "actual tits" ranking.
  4. 1-10 rankings not based on numbers or anything else in particular, just a strong desire, with the strongest being higher. Etc.
Anyway, that should do.

So, to the first category.

FEET

Because I finished that list first. Firstly I'll do a quick shoutout to Erika's Hello! Project Feet, which is a cool little blog which does exactly what the title says. Not often I see idol blogs related only to a particular fetish, especially a fetish linked mostly with males written by a girl. So quite notable.

Final warning, this post is image heavy. Like, really heavy.

FAKSM #15: Meza Virs - Crestfallen

Been a while since a song has came along and truly messed with my mind in a way that I could class it as a FAKSM, so allow me to present a song that did it to me a while back.

[audio:http://www.intlwota.com/metalhead/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/03.-Crestfallen.mp3|titles=03. Crestfallen]

Some background, Meza Virs is a group from Singapore, that veritable melting pot of just about every influence and culture ever. I was introduced to their music by my fellow admin on Chthonic's forums, who wanted to show me that Singapore could do this kind of thing too. I listened to it and found myself blown away. He had been rather correct.

This can be classed as the last Gothic/Symphonic metal song I actually really enjoyed in its own right. While Chthonic's Seediq Bale and Mirror of Retribution albums were good, they worked as albums more than a collection of songs. Likewise with Cradle, though I've not enjoyed them since Thornography anyway. I'm not sure entirely why I like it so much though. Or maybe I do. The song goes from generic symphonic metal stuff into a low industrial-esque hum with the (frankly rubbish) male vocalist "growling" (talking in a strained voice) on top. Then a piano breakdown and some triphop elements. And then into the highlight, more symphonic metal with the most awesome pop vocal melody ever. The drums are restrained, the bass is barely audible, but it's awesome. Then come the black metal-esque tremolo riffs, which are also cool. The clean guitar bit is next, and that's also fucking awesome. Then it's back to the pop melody. It makes me hard.

So yea. FAKSM. Though more a FAKS of a few years ago. But still, it's awesome.
