Sorry about not signing my comment. It was the first one I made a few days after I signed up. I kind of assumed this section worked like a blog that automatically left your name with it. Sorry. SailorPlanetMars, 8:05, 16 November 2011 (AEDST)

Can anyone else not believe she never did any more singing after hearing her in a) Sakura Fubuki and b) the Kirari Super Live show? Not as much live, but definitely recorded, she has an amazing voice! (This unsigned comment was left by SailorPlanetMars, 11 October 2011)

She's now concentrating on acting. BTW, Rika, Mew, & Ayaka have all done song recordings for public release after PGSM. --210 05:21, 11 October 2011 (MST)

"big-sister-like"? What does that mean? Kerochan no Miko 19:48, 24 August 2006 (MST)

It means "like an elder sister". At least that's my intended meaning, but I'm aware of the Orwellian connotation of "big brother". lol So yeah, it's not a very ideal word. 210 21:51, 24 August 2006 (MST)
It doesn't make much sense to me in this context, though (nor does the "big brother" comment, but) - how exactly is she like a big sister to the other actresses? Are you referring to an interview? A blog entry? Something that shows this? Kerochan no Miko 22:00, 24 August 2006 (MST)
It's all of them as a whole. In what she has said on different media and occasions so far, she is generally way more mature than the others (including the older Ayaka). 210 22:24, 24 August 2006 (MST)
Okay, you think she sounds like a "big sister" to the others, based on the fact that you think she's "more mature" than the others? You have no basis in actual fact? Kerochan no Miko 22:44, 24 August 2006 (MST)

^ The "actual facts" are all her publicized words up till now, & I'm basing on those to say that she sounds like a "big sister". 210 23:14, 24 August 2006 (MST)

I've done away the "big sister" words since I didn't like them myself - they sound too patriarchic & authoritarian (if I use the words correctly). 210 23:28, 24 August 2006 (MST)
Since I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm guessing no. Kerochan no Miko 07:27, 25 August 2006 (MST)
Since it's just a literary device (hope you understand my Engrish) for me to cue the info, & to play w/ mutual response b/n the start & the end of the article (again my Engrish) not counting the 1st paragraph, I've no strong opinion w/ your edit. 210 18:58, 25 August 2006 (MST)

Please provide a definition of "blog play". Kerochan no Miko 07:34, 25 August 2006 (MST)

Whatever it is, it sounds kinky... O.O dooky 09:50, 25 August 2006 (MST)
Yeah, it does, but I'm not 100% sure whether the Japanese fans mean so, since y'know their Engrish (& its actually in katakana). As for the definition, since it's also a new term to me, I could only guess that it means playing with one another in their own blogs by writing/posting sthg in one's own blog, which responds to what the other one does in his/her blog; and, in this case, Keiko 1st posted her photo w/ Ayaka in her blog, then Ayaka posted the same photo in her blog later. 210 18:33, 25 August 2006 (MST)

Another Senshi Reunion (w/ one missing)[edit]

This time there're photos! Check the [2006/10/29] entry of her blog. Look who's missing - probably because the missing one has returned to her Kyoto home. *sigh* --210 21:02, 29 October 2006 (MST)

Links[edit]

Let's keep external links to only the main official sites, please. We don't need umpty-billion links in the articles. Kerochan no Miko 21:59, 27 February 2007 (MST)

The links I added are all main official sites, except the IMDb ones, & I bet the number of the former won't be exceedingly large unless the actor concerned became a big name & had a large no. of works involving different organizations (which would likely take a longer time). I've actually discarded the minor official sites here, e.g. movie sites, homepages in sites of mags w/ which the actor concerned doesn't have regular contract works, etc., otherwise there would be way more links than it is now. --210 23:03, 27 February 2007 (MST)
PS I added the non-official IMDb links just for following the existing linking practice here. If you now want them to be deleted I've no problem at all. --210 23:13, 27 February 2007 (MST)
You have three "main" sites in the links list. That's two too many, IMHO. Kerochan no Miko 08:43, 28 February 2007 (MST)
Not at all... Well, maybe the Miss Seventeen one is not so necessary now, but it's already been there before my edit & it's official. I tend not to delete other people's stuff unless I think it's outrightly incorrect. And it's not uncommon to have more than 1 "main" site, e.g. I've added 3 official site links to the PGSM page. Main sites aren't necessarily limited to 1 only. And it's often difficult to determine which official site should be chosen for a 1-only quota when there're more than 1 such sites, not to mention their relative significance difference (if any) changes w/ time. Even if a site becomes less significant over time, it's historical significance might still warrant its continue existence here (unless it's closed down, of course, or is an abandoned blog, or there're some other reasons which I won't go into details here). --210 04:37, 1 March 2007 (MST)
As has been stated before, this is not a link-listing site. The three links on the PGSM article go to three different official sites for three different entities involved in the making of the series, and therefore comparing them to Keiko's links is apples and oranges. Actors don't need three "main" official sites. Pick the most important one and save the rest for WikiMoon Web. Kerochan no Miko 09:16, 1 March 2007 (MST)
It's not comparing apples and oranges - her agency & mag publisher are two different entities involved in her career. And the links I added are all official ones (except IMDb), not fansite links supposed to be listed in WikiMoon Web. There have already been 2 main site links before I added the 3rd one, which I think could replace the Miss Seventeen one as they belong to the same company & the Miss Seventeen Contest, while historically significant for her, is a one-off event like her major movie works, not a continuous entity. So if the original writer who added this link & any other user don't object, I'll delete it in 1 or 2 days. --210 19:16, 1 March 2007 (MST) I've deleted all SEVENTEEN related links now - see my comments below. --210 23:26, 1 March 2007 (MST)
Fansites aren't the only thing that go on WikiMoon Web. I don't care what was done in the past, I care about what is being done now, as I'm trying to get all of the articles to be consistent. Is she currently a model for Seventeen? If so, then I can see why the link should stay. If it's just "historically significant" it needs to go in WMW. Kerochan no Miko 20:23, 1 March 2007 (MST)

^ Well, I'm not involved in the launching of WikiMoon Web, I said that just from the public impression it gives so far. I could buy your new condition about historically significant sites (I'm not quite insisting in keeping such sites here - see my comments above; you should have made this point earlier when I 1st mentioned about it). I'm keeping this condition in mind as I'm gonna delete Mew's SEVENTEEN link now. lol --210 22:52, 1 March 2007 (MST)

PS Now I remember it (& checked), the STARDUST link was actually added by me earlier (previously only the Miss Seventeen link existed) - sorry for this inaccuracy in my comments above. lol --210 23:17, 1 March 2007 (MST)

It's not a "new condition", it's a clarification because you seem to be mistaken about what is to be included in WMW. Could you please just accept what I tell you for once without starting massive arguments nitpicking over piddly details? Kerochan no Miko 08:20, 2 March 2007 (MST)
I mistaken that WMW bit because I don't know that w/ the info known so far before your clarification, & the "new condition" is referred to the external links, not WMW. If I find what you told me reasonable/acceptable/not requiring clarifications right at the 1st spot, there's no need for any arguments/discussions. I don't think I've argued w/ everything you said since I joined here - I've actually supported your arguments not once in the past. Now that the conditions for linking are settled I think the arguments can stop here now. ^^ --210 19:23, 2 March 2007 (MST)
I told you that there were too many supposedly "main" sites in the link list and the rest needed to be saved for WMW. That seems quite simple and reasonable to me, and I honestly don't know what your problem is with that and why you need to drag these arguments out. And while you don't do it every time, it happens enough that I'm frankly quite sick of it. Kerochan no Miko 19:34, 2 March 2007 (MST)
I'm also sick of it especially now - take it as our final agreement here, ok? --210 19:49, 2 March 2007 (MST)

Roles[edit]

The list of her "other roles" is getting a bit too long and unwieldy -- I'm unfamiliar with them, so can someone who is pare them down a bit to just the ones in which she played a major role? Kerochan no Miko 07:14, 11 May 2010 (MST)

Actually that's what I've intended to do some day but hasn't yet. Now that you've raised it I'm gonna do it now, but since most, if not all, of her roles in the current list are major ones, I'll select her more significant works (in terms of her career development) to stay in the article. --210 02:13, 12 May 2010 (MST)
Done, but as you might've noticed, I've retained all of her more recent works, since not only that she starred in them, they're also significant ones career-wise. So sooner or later I'll have to rearrange the list in some ways to make it look neater & less unwieldy, but for now it looks OK after this trimming. --210 02:24, 12 May 2010 (MST)
