If you disagree with me, please  make a better graphic, I just want to make it easy as possible for new  people to get involved.<br \/>If you are just getting into Hello  Project, things can be overwhelming. So I am writing a mini-guide on my  recommendations for how to get involved with the groups. In short you  pick a group, then pick a girl, then cheer her on with every release,  seeing her struggles and her successes.<br \/>So start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/morningmusumechannel\/channels\">youtube<\/a> and just watch like three or four videos for each group. After you  decide you like a groups aesthetic, its probably best to get right into  the dvd magazines to start seeing the group\u2019s personality and to see the  chemistry the different girls have with each other.<br \/>A dvd  magazine is a video that is about an hour long that has the girls doing  something other than music, it may be back stage conversations, or on  stage MC\u2019s, it could be athletic competitions, it could be punishment  games, or the girls going on a vacation, or the girls eating food, etc\u2026.  dvd magazines are also the cheapest video you can buy, but if you ask  around in communities, you may find people who will loan you a copy or  make you a copy of their dvd magazine if you don\u2019t have money. Check the  <a href=\"https:\/\/helloproject.fandom.com\/wiki\/Hello!_Project_Wiki\">Hello!Project wiki<\/a> for what the latest dvd magazine for your group is. &nbsp;After watching dvd  magazines, its way easier to identify the girls in the group because  you see them for extended periods of time, unlike the cuts in a music  video. In my opinion, the best way to really start engaging in the  community is to pick one or two girls who you want to cheer on and then  watch their growth. Check out their member blogs and any photobooks they  may have. Cheering on the idols and watching their growth is probably  the most rewarding part of being a fan of an idol. After you pick your  favorite members, then you can start learning about the other things  they do, and all the devious ways Hello!project has devised to part you  from your money. But I would not suggest spending any money on a group  until you know at least half of it\u2019s member\u2019s names and colors. Also do  not forget about the Kenshuusei (there is a Tokyo and a Hokkaido  Kenshuusei), it can be especially rewarding to watch their journeys.<br \/>Before  you spend any money, become involved in the English fan communities.  There are many, and the community may be dispersed, but do not become  discouraged, you are not alone. In my opinion, you should spend a lot of  time at the Hello!Project Wiki, its good, detailed, and has immaculate  English records of what things Hello!Project releases. If you like  forums you can check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hello-online.org\/\">hello!online<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/jplop.com\/viewforum.php?f=16\">jplop<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mm-bbs.org\/\">mm-bbs<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.jphip.com\/\">JPHiP<\/a>. for news on H!P you can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/hellonewsservice.wordpress.com\/\">Hello Project News Service<\/a>.&nbsp;  For images, tumblr is still pretty active. The Hello!Project twitter  community is quite active. There are app-based communities like discord  and amino. You can join the discord channels Hello Project Fans,<a href=\"https:\/\/discordapp.com\/invite\/zBxhgrV\"> here<\/a>, and Hello Project Chat,<a href=\"https:\/\/discordapp.com\/invite\/2Zhmcsw\"> here<\/a>. There are translation sites like<a href=\"http:\/\/wotaintranslation.com\/\"> wota in translation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-project.net\/\">project blog<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/projecthello.com\/\">project hello<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/helloproradio.com\/\">hello project radio<\/a>.<br \/>When  you are ready to spend money there are a lot of ways to do it. You can  spend money on music, live performances, videos, merchandising, or  pictures. Hello Project releases music both physically and digitally  (sometimes only digitally) in single and album formats. Main benefit of  albums is they have new songs you have never heard recorded, main  benefit of the singles is you get instrumental versions of the songs  (which are fantastic! You SHOULD listen to them!). Petit Best is also an  annual sampler of that years\u2019 Hello Project music, so its an album that  collects some releases for all the groups into one CD. Petit Best will  sometimes be the only way to get the digital releases on CD. Each group  has a number of live performances they do a year, seasonal tours (spring  and autumn) along with summer and winter hello project concert tour  with all of Hello!Project together, and an annual Hina-fest (notable for  its random shuffle units). In addition they do other live performances  for Fanclub members throughout the year. In my opinion as a music wota,  the live performances are really some of the best content Hello!Project  produces. There are many videos that are released including concert  videos, dvd magazines, fan club videos, gravure videos (IV) for  individuals and groups (every member does a gravure video as an  introduction, but as time goes on they may do gravure videos that are  not related to photobooks, and generally photobook making of dvds are a  great way to get to know the idols themselves. Merchandising is some of  the hardest stuff to get your hands on as an overseas fan, in general  you have to get lucky online or attend their overseas shows. Hello  project sells pictures of the idols in a variety of formats, most are  available in limited quantities online.<br \/>Anyways, I hope this helps  someone, as I am still learning about how to be a fan in this community  as I type. Good luck and may your oshi become a center in her group\u2026  Amen, lol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote this guide with it to be a simple guide to self-radicalize future wotas.
