Infrequent J-Song Roundup Music June 3, 2022
Infrequent J-Song Roundup #20 – BATTEN GIRLS, Genie High, AIMI (and more!)
No, your eyes are not deceiving you; this is yet another installment of my infrequent rare Japanese song roundup segment. In case you're not familiar with all this, it is essentially a thing I do where I compile some songs that I've been listening to lately and give my thoughts about them in a post.
The main reason why I do this is to show my appreciation for these artists and the stuff they've made, as well as provide you all with some great song suggestions. However because I've been wanting to write more on this blog and recently found some time on my hands, doing a roundup, sort of, eases me back into writing posts; a warm-up, one could say. It's been a while since I've made a non-album review related post so yeah (in fact, the last song roundup I did that wasn't based off a specific theme/topic was back in March 2020… oh boy).
I think that's enough of an intro so let's jump right in!
"Watashi, Koi Hajimetatteyo! / わたし、恋始めたってよ!" – BATTEN GIRLS
Funny enough, I found out about the BATTEN GIRLS idol group through another idol group that has a direct connection with them, TEAM SHACHI (whom you may remember from the album review I did back in April). I saw Sakamoto Haruna, a member of SHACHI, make a TikTok with one of their popular songs titled "OiSa", and I later learned that both BATTEN GIRLS and TEAM SHACHI are under the same Stardust Promotion label!
While I could talk about "OiSa" and how incredibly catchy and intriguing of a song it is, I wanted to touch on another track from this particular group; it being "Watashi, Koi Hajimetatteyo!". This has been on repeat for the last two weeks or so, it is THAT good. Although it has a pretty lively, fast-paced dance beat, there is certainly a sense of sadness that's also being expressed. Mainly through the electronic-filtered, Perfume-like vocal performances of the BATTEN GIRLS members, as well as the dispirited lyrics about an uncertain romantic relationship. As said in the music video's description on YouTube, the verses are performed in a way where it sounds like a conversation between someone and their love interest, and you can really feel the melancholic emotion from all six of them.

And similar to TEAM SHACHI, it did not take long for me to become a fan of the BATTEN GIRLS idol group; they're all really talented, both with their vocals and choreography, and I'm definitely looking forward to a future album release from these girls. (also it blew my mind when I found out two of the members, Aoi Rirua and Yanagi Miyu, are only fifteen years old… impressive how talented they are at their age)
"Sumire / 菫" – Sakamoto Maaya
I've been thinking about writing a post about some of the Spring 2022 anime that have been genuine surprises to me, and I will speak more about the opening and ending themes from those shows if I actually make that post, but I had to include this absolutely beautiful song.
"Sumire" by notable voice actress Sakamoto Maaya is the opening theme for the slice-of-life anime Deaimon, and man… what a gorgeous track. Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with Sakamoto Maaya when it comes to her voice roles and music career; the ones I can think of off the top of my head is her voicing Mari from the Evangelion Rebuild series and Jeanne from the Fate franchise. But regardless, just from listening to this song of hers, Sakamoto Maaya's vocals are unreal. She has such a soft, comforting voice, and really makes this a heart-warming and lovely track to listen to. And I would say that it perfectly fits an anime like Deaimon, given its peaceful atmosphere and family themes.
"MoonWalker" – yama
Ever since I found out about yama like everyone else, it's been great to see her continue to release banger after banger. She has a fantastic talent in music, ESPECIALLY with her vocals, and while I've been doing a bad job following her more often, it's cool to see how popular yama and her songs have become over the past couple years.
I've been listening to yama's most recent single; it being the March 2022 release, "MoonWalker". If you're familiar with yama's music, you can tell that this one is a little different from her other well-known works, as there is much more of a jazzy pop feel to it. Thanks to the blaring wind instruments in the chorus and the faster pace being led by the prominent piano and percussion, "MoonWalker" is a hell of a bop and it's interesting to see yama switch it up a bit (one comment I saw said it gave them Cowboy Bebop vibes, which I can agree with). Now I know she released a whole album last year that I have yet to listen to, and I don't know if she changed up her style in those particular tracks, but from my personal standpoint, that's how I look at this song. Either way, it's fantastic.
"Soushou Innocence / 創傷イノセンス" by Uchida Maaya (Cover) – Lyrical Lily
If you're following me on Instagram, you might know that I've recently gotten into the BanG Dream and D4DJ franchises. Because they're under the Bushiroad entertainment company, both have a great selection of original songs, covers, characters, anime series and for the seiyuu fans, both franchises actually share a lot of the same voice actresses.
Covers are a big part of the Bushiverse, as both BanG Dream and D4DJ have been able to perform and include wildly popular anime/Japanese songs in their mobile rhythm games like the iconic Sailor Moon song "Moonlight Densetsu", "unravel" from Tokyo Ghoul, and even "Life Will Change" from Persona 5. One cover that caught my eye was from the D4DJ group, Lyrical Lily, who sang "Soushou Innocence".
Lyrical Lily's voice actresses – from left to right: Fukagawa Ruka, Tanda Hazuki, Shindou Amane, Watase Yuzuki
Originally performed by seiyuu Uchida Maaya and used as the OP for the 2014 anime Akuma no Riddle; even though I didn't watch the show it was featured in, "Soushou Innocence" has to be one of my all-time favorite Mayayan tracks. It's such a hype rock song and definitely shows a different side to Maaya and her talents as a vocal performer. But back to the topic at hand, Lyrical Lily did a pretty damn good performance this song. They did a nice job recreating the energy and atmosphere of the original, even to the point where it was TOO nice. My only minor gripe is that the D4DJ cover sounded a bit 'one-to-one' to Maaya's version, whereas it seems that this franchise prefers to heavily remix covers and put their own twists to them, like how Peaky P-key did their "Pretender" cover or Photon Maiden's unique arrangement of "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". Other than that, this was a super fun one to listen to.
"Fukanzen Dreamer / 不完全ドリーマー" – AIMI
Speaking of BanG Dream and D4DJ, here is one of the seiyuu pillars of the Bushiverse: Aimi!
Apart from her popular roles in the aforementioned multimedia projects, Terakawa Aimi (or what she's better known as, 'Aimi / Aimin') recently revived her solo music career in 2021 and is even set to release a full album this July. One of the songs that'll be featured on her new AIMI SOUND album is her latest single, "Fukanzen Dreamer".
When it comes to anime voice actors or actresses pursuing their own path in music, I've frequently noticed a sense of 'genuineness' whenever I listen to their stuff. I strongly believe that a solo music career allows a lot of these seiyuu to perform the music they want to perform and ultimately express their true selves. In fact, a lot of VAs like Hayami Saori, Amamiya Sora and Kitou Akari have written the lyrics to some of their own songs, rather than the usual procedure of other people more versed in the music scene doing it for them (similar to what we've seen in those multimedia franchises). Because of that, it gives off a much more authentic impression, knowing that those lyrics and narratives are being created by the voice actor/actress themselves.
Same applies to Aimin here, as she's credited for writing the lyrics to "Fukanzen Dreamer". And I feel like due to her extensive experiences within the BanG Dream franchise, and actually playing guitar in her band Poppin' Party, I would imagine that she was able to provide some input regarding the musical compositions of her songs. I mean, Aimin's been playing guitar professionally for about eight or so years now, and is even jamming in the "Fukanzen Dreamer" music video, so it'd definitely make sense for her to give her two cents about some of the compositions on this upcoming album (and songs in general, like in BanG Dream).
"Comedy / 喜劇" – Hoshino Gen
I am sure that everyone has heard this song lol
I was amazed at the fact that the recent hit anime SPY x FAMILY managed to get two of the most popular Japanese artists of today's industry to provide the opening and ending themes to their show: Official HIGE DANdism and Hoshino Gen. And the fact that both of those songs have quickly exploded in popularity, like… that is actually insane. Not only because they're featured in a new and highly acclaimed anime series, but it just goes to show how talented and fun HigeDan and Hoshino Gen are as musical artists.
It was really, really, really tough to decide which song to feature here, but I had to go with Hoshino Gen's "Comedy". Being someone who has listened to a lot of his other songs, in my opinion, this is such an interesting combination the old and the new Hoshino Gen. While his music has evolved into more of a modern, hip-hop/pop combination with his more recent singles like "Halfway" and "FUSHIGI", it feels like Hoshino Gen went back to his roots a bit and incorporated that easy-going, mellow stylings (both musically and vocally) that's heard on his older stuff. To be honest, I'm still trying to get used to Hoshino Gen's drastic shift in style, which he's been doing since the release of "Same Thing" and even the POP VIRUS album from 2018, but "Comedy" may help me find some more interest in Mr. Hoshino's latest and future music.
"Eclair / エクレール" – Genie High
If you're a Kawatani Enon fan, you probably know about this project/band he's been a part of called Genie High. Consisting of himself and other notable figures in the music and entertainment scene such as Nakajima Ikkyu of tricot fame; despite having a somewhat strange combination of members, there is no denying that they take music seriously and put out some great stuff.
And throughout Genie High's discography, Kawatani has consistently found some fantastic guest vocalists to be on some of their songs such as AiNA THE END from the idol group BiSH or South Korean-Japanese rapper CHANMINA… but never in a million years did I expect that Kouno Marika, a seiyuu I know very well, would be featured on a Kawatani-composed track.
Now I know that Kawatani has composed songs for a couple seiyuu artists like Yuki Moeko (who is notably in the Idoly Pride franchise) but Marinka singing in a Genie High track was never in any form of my imagination… however, unsurprisingly, "Eclair" was enjoyable. Certainly different from most of the other songs Genie High has performed, as it has a much more fun and upbeat sound to it. But I think the best part were the vocals. If you listen to some of her voice roles in various anime, Marinka's voice is naturally high-pitched, and because of that, I feel like Ikkyu did a fantastic job adapting her voice into a more cheery and significantly higher frequency, in order to better accompany Marinka's vocals. Compared to how she usually sounds with tricot or even the other GH collabs I mentioned earlier where she has a much, much lower register… I think "Eclair" serves as another example of how talented Ikkyu is as a vocalist.
"Mouhitokuchi / もうひとくち" – Kusunoki Tomori
If you really think about it… Kusunoki Tomori is preeeeetty similar to her Love Live character, Setsuna/Nana.
On one hand, Tomoriru excels at portraying the passionate, outgoing otaku idol named Setsuna. Whether it's through her solo songs or within the anime's story, she's done a splendid job displaying Setsuna's bright personality and talents within the Nijigasaki side of the LL franchise. On the other hand, Tomoriru's approach towards her own music career is more thoughtful, detailed and has somewhat of a somber tone to it. Not to say that what she does as Setsuna is not 'thoughtful' or 'detailed', it can be at times, but you can tell that Tomoriru takes her music career seriously and incites a specific, special emotion or drive from her (kinda like Nana and her student council duties!).
…Setsuna comparison being a total reach or not, I think it's safe to say that Riru is becoming, or maybe even has already become an excellent singer-songwriter when we look at the music she has written the lyrics to and/or composed. "Hamidashimono", "Romanron", "Nagamenosora", "Forced Shutdown" and my personal favorite, "Akatoki"; Tomori has had one heck of a start to her solo music career (my guy Leap would certainly say the same). And her most recent release that came out a few days ago, Yarazunoame, is yet another example of that, with "Mouhitokuchi" being my favorite out of the four tracks on that EP.
It's cool to see that Riru's embraced the 'doujin' genre of music that's being expressed a lot nowadays, especially from aspiring/up-and-coming Japanese artists, and I think she's exceptionally good at creating her own renditions of said musical style. Not only in a composition sense but Riru has been known to be a great songwriter throughout her career. The story of a person having a difficult time expressing their romantic feelings for someone and the interesting similes shown in "Mouhitokuchi", while I'm not the best at interpreting/understanding lyrics, were pretty nice to read and very much in line with the type of writing she's done in the past.
Aaaaaand that's all I got for you today!
I know this was a bit long but given the fact that I don't do roundups all that often, I had a nice time talking about some superb music. maybe this'll make me do more of them in the future…
ALSO, in case you want to listen to these songs on Spotify, I made a playlist just for this roundup so click here to check it out!
Hope you enjoyed this post! Definitely let me know in the comments what your favorite track was, any thoughts on anything, and even your own recommendations!

Always happy to see the Infrequent J-Song Roundup whenever it comes 😀
A lot of things to like about that BATTEN GIRLS's track for sure. I personally really liked the odd time signature of the beat which kinda gave the song a Math-y feel – something I'm always gonna be a fan of, more so for Idol/Alt Idol Music. The repetition in the verses in particular I found emphasized the 'measured-ness' so to speak of the overall song structure to great effect. In line with that, I think my favorite part of Watashi, Koi Hajimetatteyo! has to be around the 03:17~ mark when the song transposes its lyrics onto itself, adding yet another layer of complexity to the rhythm. Something to note too is the subtle use of autotune in some of the girls' singing here which I felt was rather tastefully done and not at all invasive in my opinion. Very nice.
yama has definitely had a meteoric rise over the past year or so and too am happy to see where she's at now and how she's situated herself in Japanese mainstream music. MoonWalker is an interesting track in that, apart from brass (also something that's always gonna get a nod from me) I couldn't help but think that the hook sounded really familiar. It wasn't until I listened to it a couple more times that I realized I was thinking about the last potions of ZUTOMAYO's MILABO, just even livelier, lol
I'm of the belief that in a different world, Aimin would have been a singer-songwriter going the doujin/Youth Pop route (like the aforementioned yama and ZUTOMAYO's ACAね) in that it does feel as though that the priority for her has always been the music more than anything else. At the very least, she does seem to be cut from the same cloth as them when she goes and does animated MVs. Which is why I think, and to your point as well, that Aimin definitely has some input in the compositions of the songs she sings (taking a look at the song credits for all the songs in her ucoming album, it appears she has written the lyrics for 8 of the 13 tracks on it too)
Speaking of being cut from the same cloth, Tomoriru is also one such artist in that she pretty much almost exclusively writes the lyrics to all of the songs she sings, *even* the anime tie-ups (a fact that will never not be impressive for me, but I might also just be biase-). But it really does show the depth of her creativity and the potential people in the industry see in that, and I'm glad they're allowing her that. In that regard, I too am of the mind that there exists a duality in Tomoriru as the seiyuu/anison performer and Tomoriru as the artist, in the same manner as you illustrate, wherein the latter has her sing in a more subdued manner compared to the former, more than likely out of preference to her own preferred sound. Mouhitokuchi is also my favorite track off Yarazunoame because of that, and as was my takeaway for Yorimichi, I do honestly thinking this style might actually suit her singing style the best.
As for recommendations from me; these will more than likely make the cut for my own Roundup this month (lol), but I pretty much have been playing Fullkawa Honpo's latest release since it came out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r6uHf24XUg). Something that I thought you might find interesting (seeing as I had you do a review of "Girlfried from Kyoto" a while back) is that, I noticed Fullkawa has been using the same muse/heroine for his PVs, and after a preliminary search I discovered… that she's from Kyoto (LOL). I don't have any other proof that she's *the* girlfriend from Kyoto, but I thought it would be really neat if she is (XD). Other than that, I've also been listening to Suisoh who I only recently discovered (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wRCbTER7ck).
Appreciate you checking it out!
The specific section you mentioned on the BATTEN GIRLS song was also my favorite part, and I definitely had some similar thoughts. You might've remembered that they pretty much did the same thing in "OiSa", and going by these two songs, I think they executed that lyrical combination really smoothly to make the tracks more engaging. And another thing about the repetition in this song, as well as other BATTEN GIRLS tracks; I can imagine some people finding it to be stale and too one-dimensional but I actually enjoyed the constantly repeated verses/choruses. Like a lot. Obviously it's insanely catchy as a result but something about the way that this group does it (whether it's the methods in which they express it or the vocal performances themselves) just make them a fun idol unit to listen to.
Ahhhh yeah… I can totally hear the MILABO similarities lmao. That's a great observation/coincidence!
Aimin definitely has a good voice for doujin/indie type music. And now that I think about it, I feel like she falls in the same category as Tomoriru, having those dual… personalities when it comes to their work. In fact, it's almost one-to-one since Aimin's portrayal of Kasumi in Bandori is a lot more charismatic and happy-go-lucky, compared to her solo music where there are a lot more negative emotions being shown off. That's why I find it to be impressive that those two can juggle differing personas at the same time, and the fact they do a fantastic job in both areas just proves how talented they really are.
I know Girlfriend from Kyoto came out ten years ago so I'm sure Fullkawa Honpo went through some stylistic changes overtime, but it's certainly interesting to hear a different side to him and his music. A lot more modern-sounding and while I'm definitely not used to it, I can hear some familiar aspects in that song you suggested. And yeah, that would actually be funny if the woman in his PVs is THE girlfriend 😛 Also kinda compelling to see yet another instance of artists using the same actors/actresses in their music videos; I know SHISHAMO and like you've noticed, Kawatani's bands have done the same thing. I assume it's to maintain a possible and cohesive storyline, and I just remember SHISHAMO pulling that off despite the two songs/MVs with the same actress being in different albums.
I think I stumbled upon that Suisoh song on Spotify a couple months ago, I really like it as well!

Sri Lanka slams 'false' US travel warning
Banking on tourists to revive its economy, Sri Lanka expects over two million arrivals in 2014 [EPA]
Sri Lanka has accused the United States of creating a "false and alarmist view" after Washington warned of possible violence on the island and said anti-Western sentiment was rising.
The travel warning was issued on Friday after an opposition party staged a peaceful protest outside the US embassy in Colombo, the capital, over Israeli actions in Gaza.
The warning "regrettably creates a false and alarmist view of the conditions prevalent in Sri Lanka", said the foreign ministry on Tuesday, the AFP news agency reported.
"Anti-western demonstrations against the US and the United Nations and the recent escalation in Gaza are also on the rise," the security message issued for the US citizens said.
It said there was increased pressure on anyone linked to US projects, warning that "even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence".
Sri Lanka, which is banking on tourists to revive its economy after ending nearly four decades of ethnic war in May 2009, said the claims were misleading.
Colombo has repeatedly locked horns with Western nations over rights issues, notably allegations that its forces killed at least 40,000 Tamil civilians in the final months of the war between the military and rebels fighting for a Tamil homeland.
Colombo has long denied the charge.
Last week the foreign ministry accused Western diplomats of favouring Sri Lanka's ethnic Tamil minority by attending a meeting in Colombo between envoys and families who lost loved ones in the war.
Pro-government mobs led by Buddhist monks broke up the meeting, attended by Western diplomats, and prompted the US embassy to demand Sri Lanka enforce its own laws on freedom of speech and association.
The US embassy had accused police of supporting the mobs whom it said "behaved threateningly" towards the families from the former northern war zone.
France, Germany, Britain and Switzerland also issued a statement last week backing the US demand for the rule of law.
Critics have recently accused President Mahinda Rajapakse's government of a renewed crackdown on dissent, after it last month banned civil society groups from holding press conferences.

Golf's ruling bodies have issued a clarification on where and when a caddie can stand behind a player who is lining up a shot following two controversial incidents at two different events.
The R&A and the USGA issued a joint statement attempting to clarify rule 10.2 which was designed to limit the advice and help a player can receive during a round.
The new rule sparked much debate after China's Haotong Li at the Dubai Desert Classic and Denny McCarthy at the Phoenix Open were handed two-stroke penalties last week for getting help from their caddies.
Li was penalised when his caddie, who had been standing behind him, moved to the side after he had started to take his stance for a putt. His two-shot penalty was upheld by the R&A and meant the defending champion dropped from a tie from third to a tie for 12th, costing him more than €80,000.
McCarthy's was rescinded a day later after consultations with officials determined there had been similar incidents involving other players that were not penalised.
Although European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley complained to the R&A about the "grossly unfair" penalty suffered by Li, it is understood that the clarifications will not lead to any changes to the official result from Dubai.

Mr. Broccoli Is A Climate Hypocrite – He's Just Like The Rest Of Us
'If you can't be an activist unless you have already somehow purged your whole life of fossil fuels, then you'll have a movement of three people'
Maria Chiorando
Climate activist Mr. Broccoli has been branded a hypocrite by the media (Photo: ITV)
So, the stars have called themselves out as hypocrites.
Benedict Cumberbatch, Jude Law, and a hundred other celebrities supporting Extinction Rebellion admitted, yes, they lead high carbon lifestyles - knowing that this was the angle the media was taking to delegitimise the environmental protests that brought climate breakdown into people's everyday lives.
Earlier in the week, the media exposed one of the protesters, environmental advocate Roland Everson—better known as the viral sensation Mr. Broccoli after a jarring breakfast show joust with Piers Morgan - for his hypocritical behavior.
Mr. Broccoli
Mr. Broccoli is a campaigner for government action against climate breakdown. In its Sunday morning paper, The Sun lambasted Everson, a 46-year-old small business owner from Bristol, for driving a van thousands of miles in the course of his job, and so being responsible for significant carbon emissions.
Even Bryony Gordon, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, decided to come out against Mr. Broccoli for his failures in making the case for personal responsibility.
Media Attacks
Everson, who volunteers for the grassroots group Animal Rebellion, is not the first climate advocate the media has targeted with this argument.
Just recently, Piers Morgan attacked Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Skeena Rathor for owning a television, and for arriving for her interview in a car (never mind it was arranged by Morgan's own studio).
Going further back in time, Al Gore has been denounced as a hypocrite by various media outlets ever since he emerged as a climate crusader.
Western society
Yet, it's no surprise that Everson is a hypocrite, as he is a member of modern western society, just like virtually everyone living here in the UK.
Everson's activism seeks to change society so that it will one day have a more harmonious relationship with nature and animals. But to do that, he must also participate in this society: one which is dependent on fossil fuels, and where the vast majority of people must work within an ecologically devastating economy to feed themselves and their families.
Advocacy?
When media outlets call out people like Everson for their hypocrisy, they imply that we should not advocate for the environment at all unless we live completely carbon neutral lives.
This argument is entirely unreasonable, because it demands something that no human being is capable of: perfection. If put into practice, it would also lead to a society where we never make any progress at all.
"If you can't be an activist unless you have already somehow purged your whole life of fossil fuels, then you'll have a movement of three people," said author and social activist Naomi Klein in a recent interview with Channel 4 News.
Like most climate activists, Everson is no doubt aware of his own hypocrisy. Yet, even if he completely rid his life of carbon emissions, this individual change would not amount to very much - because the society and political system around him would still be dominated by the polluting fossil fuel and animal farming industries.
Given the vast reach of these industries and the degree to which they are supported by government, leading a zero-emissions life is entirely out of reach for most ordinary people.
It is hence absurd to suggest that we should solve the climate emergency by having everyone transform their lives on an individual basis.
Individual change
This isn't to say that there is no place for individual change. We must all reduce our personal carbon footprints, but this will happen much faster if it is accompanied by systemic change led by government.
It will be far easier for individuals to reduce their emissions related to energy, transport and food if the government radically ramps up renewable energy, massively reduces society's dependence on cars and planes, and transitions to a sustainable plant-based food system.
Interview scientists, not vegetables
Commenting on his television appearance as Mr. Broccoli, Everson set out to make a point that journalists 'should be interviewing scientists, rather than giving time to broccoli'.
Instead of shooting messengers like Everson, media outlets must lead in highlighting the need for systemic action on the climate crisis. They must recognize the urgency of the situation we face: that, according to the United Nations, we have 11 years to avoid the worst tipping points of climate change. Or that we have less than 60 years left of soil health.
That if you have grandchildren today, our current path will have them inheriting a world where people in today's most affluent western democracies may not be able to feed themselves.
Yes, we are all hypocrites. But we are made so by our economic system. It is the system that needs to change, and it shouldn't take a man in a broccoli costume to make that obvious.

Government projections suggest that the number of new homes that need to be built every year to accommodate new households in the capital is 56,000. In recent years London has seen less than half of these numbers being built.
Mayor Sir Steve Bullock, Executive Member for Housing at London Councils, which represents the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London has said:
' We will work with the Mayor and other partners to make sure the Government's housing policy works for Londoners'
'The key test for the Government's new housing policy is whether or not it helps address the yawning gap between the numbers of new homes being built and the housing needs of people and businesses in the capital'
The Queen's Speech stated that 'legislation will be introduced to support home ownership and give housing association tenants the chance to own their own home'. Key proposals to support this included a requirement for local authorities to sell high-value council houses, the proceeds of which would be used to fund the extension of right to buy and the building of replacement affordable homes in the area. In addition, there are proposals to support new housing on brownfield land and discounted homes for first time buyers.
'In London where even the most modest homes sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds this may eventually lead to nearly every council property in some parts of the city being sold,'
said Mayor Bullock.
'In the short term this will mean there are fewer affordable properties available to let to families on council waiting lists and in temporary accommodation across London. In the longer term, it could make it harder for Housing Association to build extra properties. Even boroughs that have ambitious building programmes may find that it becomes uneconomic to do so if the new homes have to be sold before anyone on the waiting list has a chance to live in them.'
'In the context of an acute shortage of housing we would be very concerned about any overall loss of affordable housing or housing funds from London. We are still awaiting the detail of the Government's housing policy but what is already clear is that it will need to be carefully designed to ensure that it helps to increase the number of homes for Londoners, and that it does not create perverse incentives which might actually decrease the number of new homes being built. We will work with the Mayor and other partners to make sure the Government's housing policy works for Londoners,'
concluded Mayor Bullock.
Borough leaders agreed to four tests for the Government's new housing policy, that it must:
deliver an overall increase in housing
deliver an overall increase in affordable housing across the city
not result in a watering-down of the social mix across London
ensure that the funds raised in London by the policy should stay in London, to be reinvested in housing in the capital.
Boroughs are already working to tackle the housing shortage in their area. Below are three case studies of what some London boroughs are doing.
The London Borough of Newham has an ambitious plan to support 40,000 new homes between 2011 and 2027. It has received grant funding from the GLA and is seeking to use its land and resources in innovative ways to subsidise development. However, the borough has identified a significant shortage of development activity in the private and housing association sector, meaning the acute demand for new homes is unlikely to be met without more council involvement.
The borough has established its own company to develop, deliver and acquire new homes for private rent. Red Door Ventures has recently completed a pilot development at the Leather Gardens estate of 36 new two-bedroom homes.
Red Door Ventures will operate as a business, commercially developing and delivering homes which will be let on market rent terms. It plans to build 3,000 new properties over the next decade and to acquire 518 properties, with a mixture of market rent and affordable homes. Acting commercially as a developer means it can support mixed communities and scheme viability through private sales where appropriate.
While the new homes built by Red Door Ventures will go some way towards tackling housing shortages in Newham, the continued shortage of wider development activity in the borough means there is likely to continue to be a shortfall in supply unless activity can be increased across the market.
Westminster City Council has used innovative methods to support the delivery of additional affordable homes with little grant funding, while simultaneously attracting further investment. The borough acts as both developer and development partner, with its part-owned subsidiary Westminster Community Homes (WCH) undertaking new-build schemes, infill development and residential conversions.
WCH began trading in 2009 and now has a portfolio of more than 400 affordable homes (a mixture of new-build and existing stock purchases). The council's ALMO, CityWest Homes, provides development management services to the council and WCH to support the delivery of new housing. This income also cross-subsidises its core housing management service.
The borough established an Affordable Housing Fund in 2009 – drawing on housing receipts and planning obligation contributions where it is not practical to deliver new housing onsite – which has created 1,400 new affordable homes and committed a total of £87.6 million. The borough is also using the Affordable Housing Fund for estate regeneration.
Westminster is also renewing existing estates, such as at Ebury Bridge and Church Street, where it has developed 1,000 new homes (of which 500 will be affordable). Additionally, the borough is developing affordable housing which will be held in its investment portfolio.
The exceptionally high cost of land and property in Westminster sometimes threatens the viability of new affordable housing and scheme delivery. With a very high proportion of leaseholders on some estates, the cost of buying back their properties can be a barrier to redevelopment. Westminster has established a development team with commercial expertise to deliver the programmes, but the borrowing cap remains a barrier to increasing the pace of delivery.
Wandsworth Council has delivered nearly 250 new homes through its 'hidden homes' initiative, which identifies disused or problematic spaces on the borough's estates and redevelops them as new housing for rent or shared ownership. As well as increasing housing supply, the initiative supports the delivery of new community facilities and reduced anti-social behaviour through the elimination of disused space.
The borough's new housing delivery strategy focuses on the need for an increase of all tenures. Wandsworth's vision is for a 'high volume' effect, delivering thousands of homes a year for low- or middle- income households and providing more options for rented housing.
Wandsworth aims to support the delivery of at least 18,000 new homes in the borough over the next decade and to provide 5,000 homes prioritised to meet resident demand. A key part of the strategy is the 'Wandsworth Rent Model', which will deliver low-cost rental housing and develop structured forms of private rental housing. The borough is also considering establishing up a Wandsworth Housing Company which will deliver private and intermediate rented homes.
The council is committed to improve its existing estates, including new housing. It was one of the first boroughs to be given the GLA's housing zone status, for the development of a 57-acre site between Clapham Junction and Battersea Riverside. This is set to attract £1.4 billion of investment to deliver 5,000 new homes – including over 1,500 new affordable homes.
Wandsworth has identified the need to reduce unnecessary financial regulation to allow boroughs to use available resources to increase supply (for example: restrictions on combining right-to-buy receipts with HRA capital receipts, which could be relaxed as part of housing zone agreements). The council also wishes to see a greater recognition and flexibility in the way that HRA resources could be used for community benefit. Finally, the council supports government plans to bring public land holdings forward for development and supports potential requirements for public bodies to cooperate at a local level in development and regeneration.
Local background
In recent years the London Borough of Lambeth has pioneered a new community-driven approach to public service delivery, styling itself as "the co-operative council". As one of the largest stock-owning authorities in the capital it has sought to extend this principle to its housing services. It is also supporting new housing delivery on its own land, which comprises around 14% of all land in the borough. This resulted in a commitment to build 1,000 new homes at council rent levels over the next four years, through development on small sites and estate regeneration.
Somerleyton Road, Brixton, is the council's plan to for new housing and associated development which incorporates 300 new homes, as many as possible renter at council rent levels. There will also be a new theatre and provision for training and job opportunities.
To support a community solution for Somerleyton Road, the Brixton Green community benefit society was set up and has worked closely with the council to develop proposals for the redevelopment of the site.
On completion, the development will be owned and managed by a community body in which the residents, community and business occupiers and the wider community have their say. If the scheme at Somerleyton Road is a success, Lambeth intends to repeat the model on other sites in the borough.
Local challenges
The growing scale of the housing crisis means that the borough needs to go beyond its pledge to deliver 1,000 new council homes and ensure there are homes to meet the broad spectrum of housing needs in the borough. This includes more intermediate homes, more temporary accommodation and homes for young families and young professionals in the private rented sector.
Additionally, there is a shortage of available and developable land in the area to meet the borough's housing need. This means that the council's ambitions are currently focused towards the regeneration of existing council-owned sites, particularly housing estates.
The London Borough of Hackney has undergone significant demographic and economic change in recent years, but continues to be one of the biggest social housing landlords in London with stock estimated at 22,500 homes.
Until recent years, Hackney's redevelopment and regeneration focus had been on site-specific solutions usually involving joint ventures or land disposal. However, individual schemes often proved unviable because of upfront repurchase costs for homes bought under the right to buy scheme.
Since the Local Authority New Build programme and the introduction of self-financing, the borough become a national frontrunner in direct new housing delivery through estate regeneration, to the point where it has a concrete programme to deliver 2,000 new council homes by 2018.
A particularly notable element of the council's estate regeneration programme has been its 'portfolio approach', giving it an opportunity to combine the finances of schemes with potential to generate a surplus with those that require net investment. To provide confidence that the programme is financially deliverable, a consolidated viability assessment has been carried out. Each of the projects that make up the programme has individual financial assessments.
Hackney is also distinctive in that it has placed an emphasis from an early stage on securing the in-house expertise to ensure that projects are successfully delivered. This has included the appointment of senior leaders, project managers and legal professionals.
The borough intends to maximise housing revenue account (HRA) borrowing to the cap level through its development programme, but has said that it would do more with extra capacity. The necessity to remain below the cap level in all years means that even schemes with a moderate risk of breaching the cap in their peak debt years are restricted within the HRA.
As Hackney's development programme is centred around estate regeneration, resident engagement is of particular importance. Schemes such as Woodberry Down have provided an exemplar of tenant participation. In some cases, the cost and bureaucracy associated with buying back leasehold properties have added risk to estate regeneration and can reduce viability.
As with most London boroughs, Sutton has seen a significant increase in private renting in recent years. Its proportion of socially rented housing is lower than the London average and households on lower incomes have found the private rented sector to be increasingly unaffordable.
Sutton has decided to adopt a 'twin-track' approach to new housing. It uses borrowing headroom and right to buy receipts to support new homes in the housing revenue account, through three major sites and a range of garage sites.
It also intends to develop using general fund resources through the creation of a housing company named Opportunity Sutton. The company is financed through prudential borrowing to deliver new housing in a range of tenures, with a particular focus on market rented accommodation.
The company is also intended to help unlock development through its connection with Sutton's bid for Housing Zone status. Through this, the company may seek to purchase homes off plan to de-risk and accelerate the delivery of housing.
Unlike some London boroughs, Sutton has limited land under its direct control, so is looking to acquire private sector sites for development. This adds risk to its development objectives given the bureaucracy involved in land acquisition.

"I like to be mysterious, I don't think I need to explain what I do. You can say designer, producer, musician.Last night I was at this Prada party and nobody knew who I was. I just went as a guest of my friend, who took me there. I like that people don't know what I do. Some think that I'm a designer but I am not. I don't even know what I really do." Tokyo-based fashion guru Hiroshi Fujiwara told SCMP in a recent interview.
Point to any disruptive developments that have shaped the way we consume fashion in the last three decades, and it's likely that he was behind most of them. Put simply, Fujiwara did it first, paving the way for brands such as Supreme, companies such as Hypebeast and the explosive growth of the sneaker industry.
Born in a coastal town in central Japan, Fujiwara moved to Tokyo as a teenager. After travelling to the US, he brought American street culture to Japan, turning the Tokyo neighbourhood of Ura-Harajuku, back then a sleepy area, into the epicentre of Japanese street fashion.
A young creative with an entrepreneurial spirit, he famously helped two then-unknown designers – Jun Takahashi, founder of Undercover, and Nigo, who went on to found A Bathing Ape – open a store named Nowhere.
His foray into design, a label named Good Enough, was short-lived as he soon realised that he was better at working with other companies rather than making things himself, a low-risk strategy that puts him at the forefront of today's collaboration-driven culture.
"One of the first collaborations was with Porter Yoshida in the late '80s or early '90s. My thinking was that Porter is a great company that makes great bags so if I want to make a bag I should do it with the best in the industry.
He explains that the Japanese developed their own sense of style because they were never bound by preconceived notions of what an army jacket or a pair of denim pants should look like, twisting them and reworking them until they often looked better than the original.
While he is not entirely disillusioned with the current state of affairs, Fujiwara believes that "fashion itself is not trendy any more. People don't buy as many clothes or want to become fashion designers. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with 5G and Google's new game platform. I don't play games but I want to see what technology companies will do," he says.
Whether it's a Moncler ski jacket, Nike trainers or a pair of Levi's jeans, Fujiwara is drawn to things that are real and authentic. "Personally I don't buy trainers from luxury brands. I'd rather buy real trainers but I understand why fashion brands want to do streetwear and why people want to buy it," he says.

Before you can enjoy your travel, make sure that you organize your needs. Before you board the plane, see to it that you figure out the best transportation service in the town. If you are traveling with friends, book your own airport shuttle Colorado Springs. After getting out from the plane, the first thing you would look for is a transportation partner. You could hire a taxi, however, there are times when the fair is more costly than other transportation methods. Some drivers even scammed their passengers thinking that the passenger is not aware of the transportation standards of the town.
Beware of those drivers. For a safer and more comfortable trip, rent a shuttle. You could contact a transportation partner before boarding the plane. They would wait for your arrival. Even when you are traveling alone, you could still take this service. You can share a ride with other travelers. Doing so is not really a bad idea.
First and foremost, this method is cheaper. Some transportation companies are very competent that they leave space for your bikes and other baggage. If you want to rent a bike or an equipment along the way, assure that their competent drivers will give you the chance to do so. It would be nice if you could work with someone as dependable as that.
Before booking for the vehicle, try to know the competitive edge of each of your prospects. Know what is the approach they are using to entice and attract customers. Furthermore, try to assess if your prospects have the abilities and skills to exercise their promises. Regardless of how amazing their offers are, it does not greatly indicate that the company can deliver the results the way they have promised.
It highly depends. Before you get your hopes up, you better check their services and analyze their reputation. These professionals play a vital role in your trip. If this is the first time you are visiting the country, the attitude and characteristics of these drivers will shape your first impression of the town. They would influence it.
It is important that you treasure that moment. In every state and city, there are always bad and good people. That also goes to this industry. Travelers can avoid that problem by working with the best professionals, though. If they want to work with one, they got to assess their prospects. They must look at their offers and capabilities.
Travelers should inquire. When traveling, they must always mind their own preferences and needs. Before offering their service and devising their marketing strategies, competent companies try to consider and know the interest of their target market. Even if it looks like that they are offering the service to everybody, in reality, that is not just the case.
Of course, some of their programs and services are designed to help a particular market. Aside from meeting the basics, take a look at their extended services. If it highly meets your tastes, there is a chance that the firm highly considered you as their target market. That should explain why their service highly meets your needs.
Speaking of basics, examine the condition of their vehicles. It should be highly maintained. It must be cleaned. Listen to the experience of other travelers. Let their experience keep you away from troubled firms.
The details on your car are not things that may provide creative points, not when it has just come out from the factory. It may have added details like St Louis auto detailing when and if you decide on this thing for your vehicle. Any unit that has a smooth painted surface, with excellent color can have all sorts of designs done.
The items are often simpler, although there are also more complex images that can be done or put on surfaces. It all depends on how you imagine your car can become or look like and in the end it is something that makes you want to access things like detailing. Accessories too could work out well with the job.
This is a thing that is not done too quickly, since the results are often studied first before it becomes really workable. For many this may be something that is hard to imagine, but with the use of apps these days it is easier to see the results before anything is done. When you have these or your contractor or service center does, chances are you know which things to change or keep.
There is usually some traction on images that is done by artisans and artists here. The creativity for this work is high up on the scale, while the items that are usually used in automotive services are more technical and non creative. There is much to be said for having creativity as a workable item here.
The details will include straight lines, those which are put on the relevant places that will emphasize or enhance the looks of any car. These may be boldly colored and may be thick or thin, with variance that could mean telescoping widths. The images that are present may be put on surfaces.
All kinds of accessories can be combined to make effects for the entire project. These all will need to be balanced and the studies therefore take longer when these are supposed to put on. The artisans can number from one to any number which are needed, but usually these are ones who work for your shop or center.
That will entail great views too, and when the results are done you may have an amazing or more amazing looking car. This can roll out on streets as an outstanding example of how detailing works for many. There are also newer options here, things like vinyl wraps that could really set your vehicle with art.
The details are also run like the wrap, and the process for the latter has actually changed the system for doing any kind of detail item on the body. The thing about this is that it will be part of an entirely new look. But repainting is not recommended to go along with job.
This will mean you have a perfect way to enhance an older unit or even a new one. You might prefer more things along this line, because manufacturing does not usually get these things on. In fact, the manufactured product simply does not have art.
Physical therapies are not always the choice of everyone for treating their ailments. Most often, the people who are suffering from injuries and those with chronic pains and restrictions in their mobility are preferring surgery for it is much faster and better effective method on treating such problems instead of getting a physical therapist in Boston MA. However, the rest of doctors for primary care, are referring patients to some physical therapy doctors as their first action course.
That reason is because that approach is less intrusive and safer to consider. But that is not only all of that. These procedures also have several more benefits and advantages that could be proven as very effective like other treatment courses and much better even. Here you will see some of its advantage to getting this treatment. To start it all off, it really helps much in helping the person to avoid unnecessary surgery.
While having surgery is really unavoidable for most cases ever recorded, getting this could really help you avoid an intrusive surgery for you and some other people. Through the elimination of pain, to assist it with healing, and to improve the physical health of one, the therapy could actually help in healing tissues injured and then facilitating the entire mobility all by its own. As a result, the need for going under a knife is eliminated already.
And if somehow you are need on helping for your case after a surgery, getting a PT could surely get you into proper shape then help one on recovering faster. Furthermore, it really reduces on preventing further injuries. One of major key aspects of this is it does involves in the assessment of very weak parts and areas in a body of a patient. That also formulates a plan which aids to strengthening these points vulnerable in nature.
Through the recognition of all areas of skeletal or muscular weakness, a professional could even analyze how it likely is for a patient would suffer injuries, and then create such regimens and exercise that strengthens and targets weak groups of muscle and joints. In the future, it would prevent more injuries in those specific areas. Additionally, it assists to improvement of balance and mobility.
Some examples of simple activities difficult on doing are eating, to balance the body, and just a simple walking is already challenging to perform. That is the exact moment the therapy is handy. These therapeutic activities are able on restoring mobilities.
This makes the moving and walking around much safer. Also, it could improve even coordinating and balancing for patients. Especially, when they are at great risks for falling.
Because therapy is not an alternative treatment course, it offers many benefits. From athletes, sportspersons, and any walk of life, it tackles many health issues. Your specific needs are handled by only the best treatment and experts.

From the Rev: Waiting in the Wings
In 11 seasons of serving as team chaplain, and three seasons in media relations with the Colorado Rapids, I feel like I have "seen it all." In those years, there have been many highs and many lows, that I have had the sacred privilege and honor of observing and participating in. But, there is perhaps no greater place of tension as a chaplain than ministering to those who are "waiting in the wings." Every professional team has them - those players who work tirelessly (sometimes even harder than the starters) to gain a starting position. And in no other sport is it more difficult to get a chance than for those who fill out the reserve squad for a football
From the Rev: The Beckham Affect
When David Beckham first stepped foot on American soil to play for Major League Soccer, there was a division of opinion. Some said Beckham was merely the latest in a long line of world-renown footballers, past their prime, looking to make a last stab at financial gain before retirement. There were other pundits who claimed that soccer had officially made it in America and that the Beckham brand would forever change the American landscape and attitude toward a sport with a sketchy history of attraction in the U.S.A. Now, five years later, the jury may still be out on many points of the argument but there is at least one thing (there are more) from this chaplains perspective that Beckham's
From the Rev: Mulling over Mullan
As I watched this afternoon's match up between the Colorado Rapids and the Seattle Sounders, there was one thing on my mind: Brian Mullan. Many are aware of the controversy surrounding Mullan and the Sounders' Steve Zakuani whose leg was broken in a tackle last April. Zakuani has been rehabbing and recovering and was relegated to watching today's match from a players box suite in a suit and tie. Mullan, who did not speak with media before the match, shared briefly after the game a few comments. In the hours immediately following last April's injury, Zakuani was at risk and needed surgery immediately to relieve pain and pressure from the break. I know many on the Sounders were holding their
From the Rev: Beautiful are the Feet
A Wall Street Journal editorial written in 2009 by Steven H. Webb Professor of Religion and Philosophy at Wabash College proclaimed "Soccer is Ruining America." Webb's claim? That "American energy, drive, and competitiveness are being undermined to the point of no return" by the global sport that "is a foreign invasion." Amongst the arguments against the deprivation of soccer in America, was one that I find curious enough to comment on as it was listed as the first point of argument in his article and also included references to God and the Christian faith. I have included the paragraph for context below: Now, admittedly there is a degree of sarcasm and perhaps some dry, academic humor from which the author is speaking.


Most of the adults we counsel at ASTOP have never told anyone about what happened to them when they were children or teenagers. Or, if they did tell, they may not have been believed or were told it was there fault and from that time on they disconnected from their hurt, shame, fear, guilt, betrayal, and/or anger.
Holding these feelings in is like trying to keep a beach ball under water – it is exhausting. At some point, sometimes as much as 20 or 30 years later, survivors can no longer hold down these feelings. It may be a crisis that brings the feelings to the surface. It may be that something triggered the memory.
When the memory is triggered it often comes out as overwhelming emotions, perhaps uncontrollable anger or crying. That is because trauma is encoded in the brain as emotions, not words. However, each survivor is a unique individual, so your story may be different than another survivor's story. Some victims disconnected so well from the abuse that they blocked all memories, and with the emotions released come a flood of detailed memories. Some people remember every detail but have spent years stuffing/denying/numbing the feelings.
We meet you where you are without judging your journey. You survived with the skills you developed to protect yourself. Unfortunately, those survival skills most often are not effective in relationships, and many survivors live in abusive relationships because they don't believe they deserve to be treated any better. They may even think that if others really knew them, they wouldn't like them.
At ASTOP, our counselors, Marilyn and Michelle, offer individual counseling and group therapy. We work hard to get grants and raise funds to cover the cost of our trauma-informed care, because we want every person who wants help to receive the help they need. We have also been able to get grants for Equine Experiential Learning, which we offer to teens, adults, and mother/daughter teams.
We offer many groups throughout the year. Marilyn and Michelle are currently planning to begin a new group for ASTOP clients in September on Mondays, possibly 5 – 7 pm. We will be using a workbook by Brene Brown on Shame. You are welcome to check out Brene Brown's website to get more information on her research on shame, vulnerability, and belonging.

CHINA HKSAR gov't vows full cooperation to country's recruitment of payload specialists in Hong Kong
HKSAR gov't vows full cooperation to country's recruitment of payload specialists in Hong Kong
08:29, October 03, 2022

HONG KONG, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said on Sunday that it will render its full assistance and cooperation to the country's selection exercise for recruitment of payload specialists in the HKSAR.
China Manned Space Agency announced on Sunday the official launch of the recruitment of the fourth batch of astronauts, and payload specialists will be selected in HKSAR and the Macao Special Administrative Region for the first time.
HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee welcomed and expressed gratitude towards the recruitment and described the move as uplifting and exciting with great historical significance.
"The China Manned Space Agency's recruitment of payload specialists in the HKSAR provides an opportunity for Hong Kong people to realize their space aspiration and contribute to the country," Lee said.
Payload specialists are professional scientific researchers who are mainly responsible for conducting aerospace experiments or research, operating space laboratory equipment, and managing daily operations of space stations with other astronauts.
According to the HKSAR government, the recruitment period for payload specialists in Hong Kong will be from Oct. 6 to 27, where the further screening will be conducted by relevant authorities in the Chinese mainland. Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant field of study, have worked in the relevant industry for at least three years and be aged between 30 and 45 years old.
Michael Wong, deputy financial secretary of the HKSAR government, believes that the recruitment of payload specialists in Hong Kong fully reflects the country's care for the Hong Kong people, the importance it attaches to Hong Kong's science and technology sector, as well as the support it gives to the HKSAR government.
Sun Dong, secretary for innovation, technology and industry of the HKSAR government, said that aerospace is an important industry for Hong Kong in terms of industrial development, and the research teams of local universities have been actively involved in a number of national space missions.
It is believed that Hong Kong's aerospace technology will contribute to Hong Kong's technological and economic development in the future, Sun said.

#THEOWLCAMPUS: UNILAG SUG GET SUSPENDED BY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT OVER PROTEST
The management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has suspended all Student Union Leaders (SUG executives) who participated actively in the institution's last protest that led to a shutdown of the school for many weeks.
It was gathered that the suspension ranges between two to four semesters each depending on the involvement of the individual.
One of the suspended leaders described the action as "a slap to Nigerian students" adding that the leaders were in deep consultation.
"What they want is an SUG that will be yes sir SUG to them," he said on condition of anonymity.
"We will pursue this to the end. They want to tarnish this school with their own hands. There was no proper investigation but they just started sending letters of suspension.
"Even some of the issues that led to the protest was entirely the fault of the management but they are looking for scape goats and primary school students in a university."
It would be recalled that the school was closed on Friday, April 8, following a protest, led by the SUG, against the blackout and water scarcity that plagued the university for few weeks.
The protest which began around 9am on Thursday, saw students who took to the streets on the main campus and shut the gates of the school to demand solution to the lack of basic social amenities on the campus.
A high powered meeting of the Vice-Chancellor, Head of Departments and other principal officers was going on in the Senate building when the students came and held them to ransom till 8pm.
As a way of preventing the breakdown of law and order the Senate of the institution ordered all students to vacate the school premises and invited to ensure that the students were evicted from school.
On resumption, weeks later, the students were asked to sign an undertaken to be of good behaviour while the school was considering proscribing the student union.

British conjoined twin dies
LONDON - December 26, 2008 - Her doctor, Agostino Pierro, said in a statement that while Faith's death was very sad, it was not unexpected.
"We were always clear that Faith was very sick," he said. "She required the full range of skills of our intensive care staff, and underwent a number of further procedures. However, she succumbed to the complexities of her condition."
Faith's sister, Hope, died on Dec. 2, hours after doctors completed an 11-hour operation to separate her from her twin. Pierro said at the time that Hope's lungs were too small to support her breathing and circulation. He said then that Faith's chances of surviving were about 50 percent.
Faith and Hope were born Nov. 26, joined from their chests to the lower part of their stomachs. They had separate hearts, but shared a liver and intestines.
The babies' mother is 18-year-old Laura Williams, who is Britain's youngest-ever mother to give birth to conjoined twins.
