Happy Birthday to Sakitty!

So, today is Saki-chan's 14th birthday, and as usual, I'm going to make a very special entry for my favorite idols like her.

Sakitty is now 14 years old, she's already grown up. I started to like her since I watched their Ama no Jaku PV and the live performance of the same song. She has the type of voice that impressed me so much, she's really cute too. When I made that birthday picture of her earlier, I really made a big expression "She suits the color of hot pink!" *laugh* . She has this great personality either, no wonder she raised her fan base so high. It's good to hear that S/mileage are getting more promotion for their singles and for their upcoming 1st album. I'll really keep supporting her and S/mileage!

Happy 14th Birthday Sakitty!

Anyway, I just found out how to add slideshows for the entry few days ago, and I want to make it as Sakitty's birthday present. Enjoy!

C-ute 14th single "Aitai Lonely Christmas" Full PV

So, I'm from our first whole day rehearsal and just got home. I'm really, really, really, tired. But when I watched this PV, it made me regain my energy. It's a whole preview already!

It really made me surprise when I watched this PV, it's totally unique and different from their other PVs. There are many different kinds of shots shown in the PV. The house which has 5 oblong windows where the members were in, solo close-ups behind the trees, close ups in a room, the scene where they're doing some stuff like Maimai knitting something, Saki who is drinking tea, Airi who is waiting for someone's call, Maimi who is writing a present card, and Chisa who is holding a very cute stuff toy, scenes where the group sat in a white sled, and two different shots where all the members standing under the christmas trees with different positions. So far, this is the PV which has many various wonderful.

at the previous entry I posted, I was hoping that there will be a dance shot, but it seems that there's nothing. But it really turned out great without it, and since it's a very sad ballad song, I don't think that the dance shot will fit in this kind of song. I really love Maimai's, she's totally my favorite. All the members got fair lines, which is totally a great news to hear.

Watching this really, really, really made me want to have a copy for this single. It is totally unique and wonderful with those expressions of their faces. Oh, anyway, since I can't buy one, I hope this single will top in the oricon charts. Let's support more for C-ute everyone..

Anyway, here's the PV..

Morning Musume’s covers for 11th album "Fantasy! Juuichi "

The covers for morning musume's 11th album "Fantasy! Juuichi" has been released a while ago. Well, it was(covers) released several days ago, and it's kind of small, so I waited for the bigger previews, and here it is.

 The first one is the regular version cover where momusu pose like a cute mannequin dolls. I found the outfits a little bit familiar, and when I looked at it for a minute, it then made me realize that it was the elegant outfits of their 44th single PV onna to otoko no lullaby game. The member who has this most elegant pose is Eri wearing her beautiful rosy maroon dress. I was very impressed by her dress, she's a queen-like lady. The cutest is Reina-chan, and Sayumi's kind of adorable with her dress. Ai-chan seems to be having a weird pose, her legs were stretched to much, she should do it more bending like. Oh, and I noticed at the background seems to be a big doll house, it makes the cover perfect since there are dolls, and a doll house. perfect match!

Next is the limited version, it has the opposite background, the regular cover has a light background, while the limited cover has a dark background. I totally love this cover, a very wonderful setting it is. The doll house was featured open, and there is a dark brown couch where sayumi, eri, and gaki sat on (I prefer Linlin, junjun, and eri sat on that couch since they'll be graduating already, and it'll be their last album too). Linlin looks like a ballet dancer with that pose, ai-chan legs are stretched again, and Junjun makes her dress elegantly.

Now, I want a copy for this album by seeing these elegant covers, but I think it'll be hard for me to order one. It'll be released at the same day as C-ute 14th single "Aitai Lonely Christmas", December 1.

C-ute "Dance de Bakoon" 2s & 3s mixed version

Well, I just watched the 2s & 3s mixed version of C-ute's 13th single "Dance de Bakoon". It really made me smile starting at the beginning 'til the last part. They're really had fun taking this part. They can do anything, do some funny faces, and dance around, which interprets the single more about dancing.

The group was divided into two groups, one that has only two which consists of Airi and Maimi, and the other group consisting of Maimai, Nakky, and Chisa. The group of Nakky's was so much fun than the group of Maimi's. Well, they're all fun, but the most part I'm having fun of watching was the part of Nakky, Maimai, and Chisa.

I really love how Maimai looks in this PV, her hairstyle, cuteness, and how she smiles every time. Maimai is my most favorite member C-ute, so that made me happy seeing her that happy. Her cute funny weird faces she made really are cute and weird.*LAUGH*. Anyway, I really love how they made this version fun.

As expected, their 13th single turned to be one of my favorite, since it's the 13th, and my favorite number is 13, it'll really be my favorite. Does that really matters??? oh, well.. Dance de Bakoon is really great.

Belated Happy Birthday to Tanaka Reina

Well, since I'm busy for the exam few days ago, I haven't got a chance to greet Reina for her birthday last November 11. so I'll make it as belated.
She's already 21, right? oh, she's still cute. The time she joined the Momusu, she's still a yankii girl, wearing a skirt with skulls and dragons and had a tendency to wear a lot of purple clothing, also furthered this yankii image to her fans. Well, I've watched a clip of her audition, and she's really cute wearing those clothes. That makes her even cute anyway. She's well known to be one of the Morning Musume's main vocalists, and one of the most popular idols in Hello!Project. I may agree with those things, ever since her debut, she already lead the group (in songs). Koharu once commented her as a very serious idol when it comes to singing, dancing, and rehearsals. She's been a seiyuu of an anime character in a series entitled "Kaito Reinya", it is featured based on her personality, so that's why the main character really looks like her.

Anyway, I'll share you guys my favorite photos of her. Enjoy!!
and

Belated Happy 21st Birthday to Reina!!!

Fujimoto miki's father passed away

Fujimoto Miki's father passed away last November 10 due to some unknown causes. 

An article about this news has been released by Sanpo. Here's a translation for the article by Gator_yoong at aramathedidnt.

"Singer Fujimoto Miki (25)’s father passed away on the morning of the 10th in a hospital in Hokkaido. The cause of death is unknown. The unexpected news of the death shocked both Fujimoto and her mother.

According to sources, Fujimoto’s mother and father had been living apart, her mother lives in the city.

Fujimoto got married last year on July 11th to comedian Shouji Tomoharu (34). They had their wedding ceremony with just their families on July 3rd at Hokulia in Hawaii. Fujimoto’s father was present and was able to see his daughter in a wedding dress.

Fujimoto is from Hokkaido and auditioned for Morning Musume in 2000, she then moved to Tokyo. She’s active as an actress and singer. She also has a happy private life. Fujimoto will adjust her schedule and head to Hokkaido for the funeral service." 

This news is very expected, especially for the Fujimoto family. It's so unexpected for me to say the least, Miki's one of my favorite singers and I adore her the most, it made me feel so depress to hear this news. I would like to offer condolences to the Fujimoto family during these hard times. Hopefully, there will be more reports that'll be released soon to know about her father's cause of death. there aren't really enough details about it. So, I think I'll update about it sooner as I will hear more details about it..

C-ute 14th single "Aitai Lonely Christmas" single covers and PV preview released

There's been some cover previews released few weeks ago, and the sizes are small, so I can't really judge anything about it yet. So now, I found some bigger cover previews and I can now say things about it.

 First is the regular version cover. Their winter theme really suits the theme of the song, a ballad type. It is my second favorite cover of this single. It's really the C-ute I'm always expecting.

 Next is the limited A cover. For how I have noticed to every cover, it seems that Airi's always in the center, well, she's always in the center. This makes me guess that she's the center of the song again. I kind of bothered about Maimi's look. It's not like her, she has a weird smile for me. Maimai too, it's not like I hate it, but it's not their real smile/image. Why did they chose this shot anyway? oh, well.. It was still turned out to be great, since the background is like a golden festive place.

Last but not the least, the limited B cover. It is my most favorite cover of this single. It has the golden winter feeling when I'm looking at it. It may be the same as the regular cover, but it's the best one among the others. It's the one that impressed me most.

Well, everything turns to be great, it'll make me so excited to see the PV very soon. Well, a 30 second preview has been released a while ago, and it's very exciting to see the rest. The preview didn't show any dance shot, I wonder if they'll have one. Since the one that was shown was only the close ups, a scene where they are in a house alone (not really alone, but no one to talk or something), and all the members singing while in a white sled. I'm really going to look forward for the full PV. anyway, enjoy!

The new you tube dance sensation Chisato Okai

Hey guys! I'm totally back! whew. Exams were already over. I'm so excited of telling you guys about many, many things. Well, firstly, I'll tell you about Chisato's dance covers.

So, few days ago, the official C-ute youtube channel released some videos of Chisa doing dancing covers of their singles. I was so surprise when she did a cover, I firstly really thought that it's only a fan of C-ute doing dance covers as usual what fans really do.

The first one that they uploaded was the Dance de Bakoon dance cover. Chisa really rocks the song. Since it is dance de bakoon, it really made the cover rocking. It made the C-ute channel reached the 5,000 subscribers. this video has been viewed 390,000 already for only 3 days.

Next is the Ooki na Ai de Motenashite dance cover. It's a very cute song of C-ute. Now, this is how I define the cuteness of C-ute, one of the reason why I really love them. This song reminds of Megumi, Erika and Kanna, I wonder how they're doing, especially megu-chan.

Here's the latest dance cover of Chisa, Forever love, so far, it's my most favorite dance cover yet. The most powerful song, and by the word power, I mean the great choreography, it is totally awesome. C-ute's totally great. As how I noticed to Chisa, she really enjoy dancing just like how I observe to Gaki-san(when performing), they somewhat really enjoy doing it. 

Anyway, Chisa has now been a youtube dance sensation, as how the fans call her now, and that made C-ute surpass the 5000 mark in youtube, congratulation to them. Hope Chisa will do a tokaikko junjou dance cover, and so as the other C-ute members..It was viewed by the world, and Chisa even commented 

"Youtube is watched all over the world.  I’ve read the comments and so many of those wrote them are from different countries.  It made me so happy… it makes me glad I did this challenge."

I'm so glad that she made the fans happy, and so as herself. She's the first one who challenge herself to do a dance cover, and it turns out to be so great. It's even great that she tried to read our comments we posted, it's somewhat great to communicate with them. I'm going to look forward for the future dance covers of them and enjoy watching guys!!

Chisato the Dance Sensation!! weeehh

Later guys!

So, I'll be out for a week and have no chance to update this blog possibly until friday or sunday, since rehearsals are coming up after the exams which will happen this week. Good luck for me. I will surely do my best, and in return after these busy and crazy things, I'll update this blog as long as I can, hope you guys will not get tired reading. ahaha.. oh, anyway, later guys! I will surely come back after those things. Please look forward for my future posts and entries.. Thank you very much!

Sorry about the not-so-good-looking image, I'm not good with these things, so hope you like it, even if it's not good! hehe

Berryz Koubou serene blogs

So, I was surfing in FB and found this links, I think those are the official blogs for the berryz koubou members. I'm totally shock when I found this news. Well, not really that shock but hey! they already got their blogs. I think they're the only ones who's haven't got their blog, and here it is.

The total shock is here. A very colorful banner for their new blog is extremely shocking for me. Let's see, hmmm...school materials such as pencil, piled books, answered questions of a book, blackboard, a school logo look alike which has their name on it really made everything turn to be so great. I just turned myself as a big fan of them, so this really made me excite.

Here's captain's banner. I think I love their banners more than C-ute's serene blogs since it is more colorful. It's not like I hate them or anything, I even love them(C-ute), I just prefer to Berryz Koubou banners' design, it really catches the feeling. Anyway, I totally love Captain's banner, it was surrounded with elegant flowers which really suits her personality.

Next is momochi's blog banner. It is kind of cute and really suits her cuteness. Pink flowers, hearts and a bow really is cute, isn't it? I think she's the only one who got a banner which has two pictures of her. It really turned out to be so cute.

Next stop is Chinami's blog banner. It features happy objects, such as sunflowers, smiling sun, air balloons, and butterflies which turned the banner to be a very bright one. This is the most lively banner among the Berryz members.

Next is Maasa's banner. It is a theme of baby pink like Momochi. But the difference is Maasa got a lady style while Momochi got the cutey style, for me. It has hearts, and marked kisses. It really suits her personality, which is great. 

Next stop, miya's blog banner. Having the theme of black and pink makes her image more lovely. Pink and black features her rockish style. It has black hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs, with pink shining heart near the title part, and the cute symbols shown in the corners. She rocks the banner though.. (LOL!)

 Next is Yurina's banner. It's kind of simple but cute. The rainbow makes the banner so perfect and cute. It features fying birds, drawn hearts, a cute teddy bear, cat and a puppy which made it more calm. I'll call this as a calm banner...Kidding.. it makes you feel calm, so that'll be a calm one..^_^

 Last but not the least, risako's banner. It is my most favorite banner among the other berryz blogs, since it has the beauty I really want to see. It kind of reminds me of her 1st single, elegant girl, since it is so elegant to look. The shining elegant mirror, elegant lamp. elegant stop watch? elegant key, elegant cup and all the elegant things that features in the banner sure is elegant.along with those elegant building LOL! Anyway, I think the color has the combination of hot pink and purple which makes me smile after seeing it.It really suits risako's image, since she's a very elegant girl, she's so beautiful if she had her weird fringe out of her eyes, and be covered by her elegant headband. She really raised her charisma into the highest level. She attract me the most.

The Berryz Koubou blogs are really great, they still don't have any entries yet, so let's all look forward for it. There's still more information lacking here, and I'll just update them later. Their titled banners ares till unknown to me, well, I can't really read Japanese characters and letters. I'll update them sooner or later 'til the info's revealed. So for now, I can share you the links, and the banners which are shown above.

Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A (week of 03/21/2010)

Question: Please try to think about a competition where you would definitely take the gold medal.

Takahashi-san: 

How much you love strawberries?? The gold would definitely be mine!!!

Gaki-san: The best eyesight championship↑

Eririn: If there was an event in being late when submitting questionnaires and other writings... 

Sorry (laughs)

Sayumin: Cuteness ☆ Hopefully you're all satisfied with that answer, right? 

(>▽<)

Tanaka-san: How long you can spend inside Don Quijote, 

or something...??? (-○3○)ﾉ

Mittsi: A no-facial-expression competition?! I could probably win that!!! (laughs)

Junjun: A spoiled child competition. 

Ihihi (->ω<-) (laughs)

Linlin: A Chinese language competition!!! Hahaha

So, Ai-chan's a strawberry lover?! Gaki really have the best eyesight ever. Eririn's sometimes late of something, so she may win the competition about it. Sayumi's sure is cute, she'll be one of the champions. Reina's really into shopping, isn't she? Mittsi's a different one, no-facial-expression, I already witness that kind of a face. I never thought Junjun's a spoiled child? >.< Well, since linlin's from china and is a Chinese person, she'll really win that.

Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A (week of 03/14/2010)

Question: You're treating your parents who've always looked after you to a meal. What do you make them?

Takahashi-san: 

Stew!!! With corn, sweet potatoes, 

squash, carrots, and... broccoli! I want to 

use lots of my own original ingredients!!

Gaki-san: 

Hm... Nabe!! 

But, is that cooking?!! (LOL)

Eririn: Kiriboshi daikon.

Sayumin: Chawanmushi. A long time ago my father told me, "The first thing your mother cooked for me was chawanmushi," so I want to make them something with special meaning to them↑↑（>▽<）

Tanaka-san: Sukiyaki ♪ No real reason for it →（＾ω∩＊）

Mittsi: I made ground beef and matcha parfaits with ice dumplings for them before, but maybe Chinese soup with bean threads?! ☆

Junjun: Water spinach （－ｖ－）It's the healthiest

Linlin: My mother and father both like seafood, so I'd start with jellyfish or shrimp chili. For dessert, cake with lots of fruit on top... Sounds good （>▽<）

I'm not really familiar with these kind of food, so I quickly searched about it. I love Ai-chan specialty, sweet potatoes and corn for a combination tastes good for a stew. Nabe is a variety of Japanese food, so that's more variety to explain. Eririn's kiriboshi daikon sure is healthy. it may be dried vegetables, but it's still healthy. The chawanmushi of sayumi is very memorable for her parents. that's so sweet, isn't it? This dish is said to be an egg custard dish originally from Japan. Reina's sukiyaki is part of nabe which is Gaki's answer. So that's what nabe has. Mittsi's been addicted to chinese dishes, isn't she? Junjun's original chinese dish, water spoinach. It is a leafy vegetables, seems to be very healthy as what she said. Linlin dish is a seafood type, and lastly with sweet dessert. Momusu's really good when they treat their parents for dinner, many ideas coming from them..
