Morning Musume'14's TIKI BUN

Hi again! sorry I haven't been updating lately. Its just there are too much school stuff to do

anyways...

Morning Musume 14's 56th single TIKI BUN  (a.k.a Sayu's last single) has been uploaded in youtube! And now i am gonna say comments about the music video

The dancing was a combination of Wagamama Ki No Mama Ai No Joke and Brainstorming because of the following dance moves shown above

I also really liked the beat of the song! Its all electromagnetic and stuff! Its just the right dubstep for me.

The dancing was the bomb! Ayumin really cought my attention because she is the best dancer among all of them! So proud of my kamioshi <3

  

But the one that really strucked me the most is that everyone had equal time to shine in the music video! It was not unlike their past music videos where Riho was treated like she was the only member of the group and the rest were like subs (no hate against Riho tho). I hope they do this all the time in their succeding Music videos!

Here is the full music video of Tiki Bun:

Enjoy watching and thanks for reading!!

Michishige Sayumi to take a break from Showbiz after graduation from Morning Musume'14

As Sayu's graduation gets closer and closer she announced that she will be taking a break from the idol world after she graduates. I have mixed emotions about this announcement. I feel sad because I will not be seeing her for a while and I will also miss her cute voice and preety face. I feel surprised because she is just going to suddenly step out of the spotlight after 11 years. And I also will feel happy for her because she can finally do the things she has been wanting to do that she has never done because of offering her almost half of her life to Morning Musume. And in the future years as Mizuki and Haruna lead Morning Musume it will also place a smile on Sayu's face because she has taught and trained her two sub leaders very well. Thank you again Sayu for the 11 years you have dedicated to Morning Musume and we will be happy and we will support you in every decision you will do in your life. Usa-chan peace!

Yuko is so cute in the first 2 pictures! And in the 3rd picture she shows her fierce side but she still looks very beautiful in all pictures! I wish to see more fashion ads that feature her!

Akb48's Kokoro No Placard

Akb48's 37th Sousenkyo single "Kokoro No Placard" has been released!! Senbatsu winner Watanabe Mayu  (my oshi lol) is the center of this single! Just 2 days ago the MV teaser has been released. In my opinion the music video and song has some similarities with Koisuru Fortune Cookie cuz of the crowd

Told ya.

But for me Koisuru Fortune Cookie is still a more catchy song than Kokoro No Placard. 

Mayuyu, very stunning as usual 

Well when I saw the MV teaser I first thought they were endorsing some detergent or fabric conditioner because of their outfits!!  But I am still not used to not seeing Yuko in the music videos :(

Here are the official CD covers of The new single. Their outfits reminds me of Morning Musume's Pyocopyoco Ultra 

 I really cannot wait for the B side singles to be uploaded in YouTube! Support them! Buy the single in cdjapan or yesasia!

SCANDAL's Yoake No Ryuseiguun

on top is the teaser of SCANDAL's new single Yoake No Ryuuseigun 

Last week, SCANDAL's new music video has been uploaded in YouTube. Named, Yoake No Ryuuseigun. After school, i opened my ipad and watched their new music video. 

The music video was amazing!! I fell in love with the lights and of course the girls!

The song had a different vibe, its not like you usual J-Rock song. The song even sounds like a Morning Musume song!

Mami's red hair here is so fab! I really liked the way she dyes her hair

My oshis Haruna and Rina got my attention here too they were very dazzling here as usual

Tomomi's cute voice always gets my attention in every song

All of their of their outfits are amazing! Where the hell did they get those outfits!

Let us all support this beautiful single! get a copy in cdjapan or Yesasia!!

Berryz Koubou to stop activities next spring

I really am speechless about this news and i am literally crying too. H!P would be incomplete without Berryz if i could just stop time so spring wouldn't come... They announced this during their 10th anniversary thingo, and according to Saki (da one en only captain) since most of them are in their 20s they decided to do things on their own, they were even talking about this for over a year now... Berryz will always play a big part of my life because they were the first H!P band i knew and liked. I am just looking at the bright side and thinking of Buono!'s comeback after Berryz's hiatus. Momochi even said: "Berryz has been a big part of our childhood and saying that the group will be disbanded its like everything will be erased so let is just say that we are going on a hiatus" and to my oshis Risako and Maasa.... I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOU IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I WILL STILL LOVE U BOTH (*cries while typing the all caps sentence) before i end this blog entry... I JUST WANNA THANK BERRYZ FOR THE WONDERFUL 10 YEARS U GAVE US I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEXT CHAPTER OF YOUR LIVES (P.S. who will replace Saki as H!P leader? Yajiima Maimi i guess so...)

Buono!: COMEBACK PLS

I just watched Hello! Station #75 and watched Buono!'s concert (after like years of hiatus) during the Japan Expo concert wherein Berryz Koubou and C-ute performed. Buono! performed Gachinko De Ikou! and Honto No Jibun (both theme songs from the Anime, Shugo! Chara)

There you go 

I was literally crying when i saw Airi, Miya and Momo performing together again after years and years and years. Buono! was the band that brought me into the H!P fandom during the Shugo! Chara days. I really fell in love with their songs so i started to search them on YouTube then started listening to them. Until one day, I was introduced to Berryz Koubou (Miya and Momo's band) followed by C-ute (Airi's band) then starting to follow and support them i fell in love with Sudo Maasa and Sugaya Risako (who also belongs to a Shugo! Chara unit, Guardians 4) then after Berrikyuu, Morning Musume and S/mileage came into the picture until i started to be a Hello! Pro wota. Now you can see how watching Shugo! Chara changed my life (lol). And also because of that I also got into more fandoms like Akb48, SCANDAL and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Ever since Buono!'s long hiatus i just kept on listening to the same songs and i am starting to get tired of it somehow because they never had a new single in like years. I remember when the Anime, Shugo! Chara was coming to a close Buono!, Guardians 4 and Shugo! Chara egg sang the anime's last theme song together, entitled: Arigato~Ookiku Kansha~. After Shugo!Chara ended Guradians 4 and Shugo! Chara egg disbanded. Buono! was almost disbanded but, since the group had lots of fans they just decided to go on hiatus in 2011 then after a year Buono! started making songs again and also albums. They even had a concert in Paris! Then in 2012 after the release of Hatsukoi Rider the group became inactive until the Berikyuu Japan Expo... I hope after their performance at the recently ended Japan Expo they may have a new single this year!!

Goto Maki - The comeback of a Morning Musume legend

Morning Musume's sole 3rd gen member has made a comeback to the idol world. After a couple of years hiatus Gocchin has made a comeback (Yaaaaaaay). Well I miss her sweet voice ever since her Momusu days. She was also very cute when she just a freshman in Momusu, she got my attention in Love Machine and Koi No Dance Site. I remember people saying Momusu's sales will go down after her graduation (lol it did not happen). After her Momusu life, she continued as a solo artist within Hello! Project until the graduation of the Elder Club then, moved to Avex (an agency). I really miss her voice, songs and preety face I am really happy about this news and I hope to hear her sing again in the near future! おめでとうゴッチん!! 

She also has opened her ameblo: s.ameblo.jp/gotomaki-923

Happy birthday Okai Chisato!!

Dear Chisa,

Happy 20th birthday!! I still cannot believe you are already 20 years old... Time really flies so fast... I remember like it was just yesterday when you auditioned into Hello! Project Kids. You were really cute then (until now too!). You're one of the best members in C-ute (plus, Suzuki Airi). Ever since I got into the H!P fandom, i kept on watching you grow and grow and grow.

ilysm Chisa! Stay cool and fab

Love,
Trice :)

My TokiSora CD had 2 discs

   The songs

    And the music videos

I am gonna pre order more H!P merch and Akb48's Labrador Retriever single

    

Haruna, Mizuki or both?

P.S. Sorry for the late blog post

Current Morning Musume leader and 6th generation member Michishige Sayumi has announced her graduation. Now the H!P fandom has gone crazy and gone to commit suicide. Right now, other fans are debating, who will replace Sayu as leader? Harunan or Fukuhime? As we know Haruna and Fukuhime are the two oldest members of Morning Musume after Sayu. People are Saying Fukuhime will become leader over Harunan because she joined the group first. Some people are saying that Harunan will become leader over Mizuki because Mikitty took the position over Aichan before. Well, the thing I am actually looking for in a leader especially for Morning Musume is the one with experience (So I am gussing this is Fukuhime). Well in my opinion, maybe the reason why Mikitty took the leader position over Aichan was because Mikitty had more experience as a solo singer even before the Gookies debuted. So actually we are talking about experience here. We will need a very good leader to replace Sayu to guide the members especially the debut of the 12th gen is around the corner. Well, it will also be better if both become leader and Eripon and Ayumin become sub leader so it's just not one person doing the job. So guys what is you opinion on who should be leader and what you look for in a leader? Comment below!

The new S/mileage

Had you watched the "Mystery Night" music video of S/mileage? Noticed their costumes and dance moves? Ain't the usual S/mileage right? Yes, I really was amazed and shcoked when I saw the promotional version in Hello! Station, I was used to the kind of music when it was just Ayacho, Kanyon, Yuukarin and Sakitty. Lately S/mileage has been "more matured" in terms of music videos and outfits. First was Atarashii Watashi Ni Nare then Ee Ka! And now Mystery Night. And, did you notice the lyrics of Mystery Night very sexual I believe. Lately, I have been seeing people submitting confessions in Tumblr about the 2nd gen ruining S/mileage, Tsunku making them prostitutes and other negative thoughts about the new S/mileage lineup. Well this is all I have to say: Tsunku is doing the right thing here. We can't see S/mileage all cutesy-cutesy in their music videos all the time, they should start graduating from that stage and spice things a bit. Ayacho is turning 20 on August do you expect her to be wearing bunny costumes? Because if S/mileage continues to be cutesy, things will get mainstream and worst scenario will be them loosing fans. Well the thing that is important is that they have one matured-ish song and one cutesy-ish type. Something like the Atarashii Watashi Ni Nare/Yattaruchan duo. Oh yeah and the age problem, people are saying Mystery Night is inappropriate for the group because their youngest is like 15 years old. Oh please! Meimei is turning 16 on October everyone is going to grow older through the years. We just have to face the changes that not just S/mileage is facing but also the other H!P bands (especially Morning Musume I can feel Sayu's graduation is near *knocks on wood). So I hope you guys just enjoy the songs ok? 

Why Platinum Era is awesome

Morning Musume has different eras. First we have the Golden Era (which was like 2001-2007 I guess? idek) and the Colorful Era (2011-Present) Golden Era I guess ended when Yossie graduated and the Colorful Era started when the 9th gen kicked in. But in between the Golden and Colorful Era are one of the best lineups It was the era where Aichan was leader, consisting of 2 5th gens, 3 6th gen members 1 7th gen member and 3 8th gen members. Yes, you got it right its the Platinum Era. From Onna Ni  Sachi Are to Onna To Otoko No Lulluby Game was the Platinum Era member line up. The thing I like about the Platinum Era lineup is there are no 14-15 year olds (there youngest was Mitsui Aika who was like 17 years old) So most of their music videos are more mature and awesome. Even their singing voices are better than the current lineup (if now we hear 90% Riho and Sakura during that time it was Ai and Reina) but I have like the current member line up (no hate at all) after Koharu's graduation in 2009 the member line up was still Platinum Era but not 100% but when Eri, Junjun and Linlin graduated That was the end of the Platinum Era. Well tbh (to be honest) their dancing wasn't as nice as the ones like in Brainstorming and Ai No Gundan. They were just like Physical Education routines. I read an article that the Platinum Era choreographer moved to akb48 in 2011 (end of Platinum Era) so I see why akb's dancing isn't really nice. For me the Platinum Era really ended after Takahashi Ai graduated. Even if Sayu is the only one remaining in the Platinum Era and that really hurts. Please continue supporting Morning Musume :D

How I feel on ex Momusu member Ichii Sayaka regarding her audition in Otona akb48

Morning Musume fans are so dissapointed about Sayaka auditioning in Otona akb48. She is the first ex-Momusu to be pro-akb and we all know that akb48 and Morning Musume are rival bands, always fighting to be #1 on the Oricon Charts. But for me, there is nothing wrong for Sayarin to audition to Otona akb. I actually almost became a fan of akb48 it was just there were too many in the group and its hard to remember all of them. I am a HARDCORE fan of Morning Musume but I don't have any hatred against akb48 (I am a fan of Sato Sumire) so its actually ok for me for Sayarin to audition for Otona akb if that will make her happy. I am not actually an Ichii Sayaka fan but she has a nice voice its just that during her stay in Momusu Tsunku was not giving her that much solo lines. And I have a feeling that was also the reason why she graduated early aside from wanting to persue a solo career. The only time I heard her voice during her time in Momusu was in Koi No Dance Site. So if Sayarin is accepted in Otona akb I will be happy for her and she deserves that.
