Banana Introductions

So we said we'd do individual introductions...
And we're going to, RIGHT NOW!


I guess, to start off, I'll talk a little bit about how Banana B and I met each other and subsequently got into H!P?

Banana A and Banana B History!? (LOL)
Banana B and I met in high school! But we weren't exactly friends from the start. Banana B is actually a first language Japanese speaker, and Banana A is not! We were brought together by Japanese anime and music, and became close friends due to our frequent karaoke sessions together. And it was during these karaoke sessions that we first started getting in to Hello!Project.

At karaoke it was always more fun when we both sang the same song together. So in order to, shall I say, up our duet quota, we started learning songs from Shugo Chara, and as everyone knows both the opening and ending songs were sung by Buono! However, I didn't really like the first 2 songs (Kokoro no Tamago & Honto no Jibun) that much, and I wasn't until Renai♥Rider came out that I kind of started liking Buono.


After that, Banana B started showing me songs from other groups in Hello!Project. Although I never really liked any of their songs right from the start, after listening to Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance repeatedly for a while it started to become really catchy, and I started learning Berryz Koubou songs to sing at karaoke. After a while i started recognising the members' voices and faces and then started reading about them. Banana B didn't want to lose out either so she began updating herself on Hello!Project news too and getting pretty in to ºC-ute. And I guess the rest is history...



Favourites :) and least favourites :(
You can probably tell we're both first and foremost Buono! fans! Although I like Momoko and Banana B likes Airi (although moving more to Momoko now too!)
As for Hello!Project Kids groups, I am a Berryz fan and Banana B is the ºC-ute fangirl. That being said, Banana B will be updating more on ºC-ute happenings and I'll be updating on Berryz Koubou!

We both also like Morning Musume, but I am less well-informed than Banana B. I'm still catching up on all their history, and there's A LOT of it! We're both very familiar with the current line-up though!

As for dislikes, we're very similar! Mano Erina and Mitsui Aika are amongst our pet hates, as is Maimi's singing voice.
