The one stop H!P broadcast central

About the site

Now announcing the all new sayumin.org: The one stop H!P broadcast central featuring automated podcasts, downloads and streaming of pretty much every Hello! Project-related radioshow there is.

Yeah. I think it's pretty damn sweet myself.

The site runs custom-made, 100% automated software to make sure this all goes around. No human is involved or kept awake at all hours to make sure you get your radioshows fresh off the internet the second it is available. Thank God ;)

What the site is and what it is not

Short and simple: sayumin.org is intended for downloads, streaming and podcasts of fresh radio-shows.

Typically around 8 episodes per show will be retained so there will be a decent backlog, but the site is not intended as a permanent acrhive. For that I do simply not have the hosting space.

At the time this site was setup in beta I was already using 1.4GBs, and these add on quickly, so if you want to keep a permanent archive, I suggest you use the subscription-features to make sure you get every episode of your show of choice downloaded.

About the guy behind this

This site was 100% made, designed and all that by one guy: Jostein Kjønigsen, a geek with no knowledge of graphic design what so ever. More info on the guy here.

This guy has kept himself busy with various projects besides sayumin.org. A short list of things he has done can be found on jostein.kjonigsen.net.

For those strictly interested in H!P, he also happen to run yaguchimari.org (although with some help). Every now and then he also updates his personal blog.

Thanks

As much work as I have put into this site, I still feel it would be wrong to omit a few words of thanks.

First of all: Thanks to Mattthecat. No really: Thank you! The resources and precompiled list of H!P radio-shows with their schedule saved me weeks worth of work. That long list of shows immediately available is there thanks to Matt.

I'd also likes to thank Fredrik at Serve the world, for setting me up with a affordable hosting-deal for this site.

Once again, I'd like to thank KF Webs for their excellent DNS-services. I may be getting ripped off price-wise, I honestly don't know, but I don't really care either. The custom-tailored services I'm getting are nice enough not to bother.

I'd also thank various beta-testers out there on the internet, and prodygee in particular for making the PSP-guide. I never even thought about that being a use for this site.

And last but not least: All the Japanese providers out there. You know who you are ;)
