“All I ever wanted is a chance,” stating in her YouTube shout-out before she deleted her account today. Before promoting herself as Summer Lee, she first used the name “Summer Lou” which means Summer-star. But then after few months changed her name to Summer Lee.

She has been in some forums when there was a rumour that she will debut in a Fahrenheit film which was denied by her stating that she can’t be givn a chance. Criticized by netizens that she’s not pretty at all, she closed down her first YouTube account last summer.

“She indeed has a reat voice,” states some people who heard her posts. Still, until yesterday she wants to give up.

I, personally am amazed by her talent in composing songs and in singing of course. I hope she finds her agency anywhere here in Asia and debut.

Oh, yeah, the reason why she deleted her YouTube account is that she is opening her WordPress webpage officially tomorrow by posting her new song(well, not digitally of course. Acapella, I think) “Curious” hope you guys will liker her!

http://lasummerlilee.wordpress.com<<her wordpress account

Well, this is my first official post! Fuck yeah!!!

Anyway, for an ice-breaker, I decided to post my November/Christmas Hello Project ranking! Because everyone cares about that

Anyway let us continue to the flesh and bones on this post (and hope I don’t fuck shit up, which I most likely will!)

Morning musume:

Where to begin? I think I will put a little back story first… Sorry Guys *_*

One day last year, before we were blessed with Resonant Blue ( now that I think about it, song review will come over the next few days) . My Year 10 Japanese class were in the computer room, and we had finished our work early. The japanese teacher had a brain spark. She told us to go on youtube and search “Morning musume”. She told us to click on a video to a song that I came to know as ‘Chokkan 2′ (I didn’t realise it had a longer title v_v). A year later, this shit has bloomed!!!

Okay I can’t be fucked with the rest of that, so you people can wake up now… here we go…

Did it work???

This was an interesting ranking for me; lots of the members were sort of grouped up because they all tied… Time to explain:

1. Niigaki Risa: Gaki san’s voice has always had this hipnotic, spine-bending, bleeding nose inducing effect on me. Her cheaky little grin does it too… Plus, she is Fucking hot!

2. Kamei Eri: “Ii janai?” ii desu yo, Eri chan! (okay that is the last romaji i’m ever gonna use, ever… execpt for names..) Anyway, back to Eri. She is fucking win! It all came to me in the 気まぐれPrincess thing I saw. Her hat was epic, and the way she teased the audience, and the camera, with her eyes… *drools* Fuck yeah Eri, fuck yeah!

3. Junjun: I like how her hair always suits the song WAY better than the other girls, but thats just my opinion ^_^ Plus, I have always had a thing for the underdogs; the ones chucked aside that everyone forgets about. Baist much XD

4. Michishige Sayumi: “How the fuck did this happen?!?!?” is what 2008 me would have said… Now, I just really like the stuff Sayumi does, and did in the past. Her mic toss was the thing that shot her up to number 4.

5. Linlin: Have you heard her sing??? (Has Takahashi allowed her vocals to slip through the cracks?) I love linlin’s voice, with that awkward, yet awsome sounding chinese accent, makes her voice awsome! I’m glad they called her linlin (rinrin when pronounced in “official Japanese”) because the way she says the ‘ri’ sound is beautiful!!! seriously though… besides here voice… mehh.

6. Mitsui Aika: She is one of the ones I like, but sort of had to push to the back due to the above five members. Her speaking voice irritates me slightly…

7. Takahashi Ai (SHOCK!!!!!) 愛ちゃ～ん bugs me quite alot… She is a fucking line hog, and I fucking hate it SOOO MUCH!!!!! Grrh… She nearly ruined the song Do it! now for me due to the Morning Musume 2008 Spring Concert Tour ~ Single Daizenshuu performance. In terms of vocals, It was awsome; but It had something wrong with it. Ai chan “Ai-ed” all over the whole stage, and song. In conclusion, ( This feels like history all over again <_<) Her voice = win. Everything else needs to have less Ai disease.

8. Tanaka Reina: I used to love Reina!!! My friend even did a caricature of her in a boring social studies lesson for me ^_^

But… Something changed…

Maybe it was the fact that i learnt of all the other members, then sort of hopped off  the Reina band wagon, or her voice was too distinctive, and I was sick of hearing it. Either way, she dropped, and she hasn’t managed to move back up for me. Yeah…

9. Kusumi Koharu: This is based on voice only; she’s fine (well she scares me occasionally) but her voice!!! It is all down to that fucking anime!!!!

Case and point:

色っぽいじれたい

直感２～逃した魚は大きいぞ～

Sexy Boy：そよ風に寄り添って

Ambitious!野心的でいいじゃん

しょうがない夢追い人

なんちゃって恋愛

気まぐれPrincess

All songs with Koharu not singing solo on the side in helium mode. All songs where i can stand to listen to her voice, and like it.

But, from 歩いてる to 泣いちゃうかも ( I know that Kirarurerira… That anime had pretty much finished,  her last solo song came out only a fortnight before NCK was released, so she was in kararurerira mode still). She sounded horrible! I could sing her 笑顔 Yes ヌード lines better than her…

That’s all for now on Koharu, and the rest of this post. If at least one person were to read this, that would make my day.

Coming soon ( If everything goes to plan) Berryz, and C-ute ranking, maybe a chat bout OG members, and a Moumusu song review… Yay!

Ini adalah concert graduation-nya Yasuda Kei. Semua member tampil all out termasuk penampilan perdana 6th Gen di akhir concert. Pokoknya nendang banget deh ni concert!

Gottsan!! Mantaph!

Waktu denger intro awalnya sih cukup menjanjikan soalnya aransemennya dibuat oleh DanceMAN (arranger Love Machine) tapi waktu masuk line pertama.. lho kok suaranya dibuat efek cempreng…?? Seperti biasa.. too much Ai-chan & Reina..
Dan kenapa Momusu sekarang cenderung buat PV yang serba gloomy? WHY??!!

The DVD for the 7th part of the Yorosen series has been announced. The cover was also released on the official H!P page and it features Morning Musume in their Kimagure Princess costumes, Berryz Koubou in their Ryuusei Boy costume, C-ute in their “C-ute Best Of” album costumes and Mano Erina in her “LOVE&PEACE=Paradise” costume.

The cover looks great, mostly because each members gets an equal chance to appear. The school desk theme isn’t that eye catching but for the most part it is school related and the addition of the school supplies is a nice touch.

This is most likely the last DVD for the Yorosen series (since an 8th part hasn’t been announced and they usually come in pairs) so fans who are collecting the series will be glad to see that their collection will be complete soon.

The release date is set for 12/23.

Official H!P Page For Yorosen! Vol 7 DVD

The first full album from former 4th Generation Morning Musume and Hello! Project members Hitomi Yoshizawa (Hangry) and Rika Ishikawa (Angry) moves the duo up a notch from their Mini album, introducing the girls to a world of synths and more crazy vocals.

1. Mr Monkey
2. Top Secret
3. Sadistic Dance
4. Lady Madonna
5. Doubt
6. Angelia (crash berlin version)
7. Shake Me
8. Kill Me Kiss Me (crash berlin version)
9. GIZA GIZA (crash berlin version)
10. THE PEACE! (H&A Death Tracks)

I left off reviewing this album for a while, as the first listen through, for me, was slightly disappointing.  On reflection, this was mainly due to the initial shock a year ago, when we first heard Yossie and Rika perform as “HANGRY & ANGRY“, despite the music still essentially being manufactured pop, no Hello! Project member had really done anything that outrageous before (discounting Maki Goto and her fake boobs) - as their image had completely changed as well as their music style.  Maybe now, the novelty was fading, and their lack of anything being “shocking” compared to the last album was where my disappointment and subdued reception to the album stemmed from.

So, I gave it a few weeks, let the negativity fade, listened again - and loved it!  For what the album is, there’s relatively little fresh material, but, for what it does contain, is worth parting with the £8 with it – yes that’s right, we can actually buy this album in the UK for less than the usual Japanese RRP or 3000 yen.

If you’ve listened to their Kill Me Kiss Me mini album, this album is pushing toward a more electro or ”dance” style of music than before – the heavy guitars are still there, but now theres a lot more sampling (Shake Me), and a new found love of synths in all the tracks, especially Mr Monkey, Sadistic Dance and Top Secret - making the whole album feel a lot less rocky than before, but at the same time, it’s nothing you’d hear from a Japanese idol group.  The two previous released tracks, Top Secret and Sadistic Dance are also nothing short of exceptional - (if only H!P itself could produce such catchy tracks!) - both stick in your head for ages, and if you get a chance, check out the PV for Top Secret, which just sets the ”cool” image of the track off perfectly!  Tracks like Shake Me and Lady Madonna are also very brave step – the mix of chipmunk high vocals on Lady Madonna with the rocking chorus, and the way Shake Me suddenly explodes from what was almost a H!P acceptable song into a full blow electro attack: this shows what having someone other than tsunku writing and producing for you can do!  Also, I’ve heard many bands attempt half-assed H!P covers, but H&A’s cover of The Peace is probably the best H!P cover I’ve heard for a long time. 

The only track I have a little trouble with, other than the “crash berlin remixes” is Doubt.  Don’t get me wrong, Doubt is an ok filler track, it just seems to lack some kind of direction or crescendo within it.  The main disappointment of this album is the repackaging “mix”es of Kill Me Kiss Me, Giza Giza and Angelia.  They’re hardly changed in the way that “The Peace” is to warrant including them, and a better choice may have been to leave them in the original form, or downgrade to a mini album, rather than palming off these embarrassing remixes.

I think I set my expectations too high for a unit which is supposed to be a global brand gimmick.  For what they do, and for a side project, Yossie and Rika are doing everything right.  There are so many positives to pull from this album, and whining on about the lack of new material detracts from this.  I half think this album is more geared towards Europe, as it’s release conincided with the Chibi Japan Expo in Paris, and was maybe aiming at people who hadn’t yet heard their Kill Me Kiss Me album.

So what do I think of this album after all the complaining.  The truth is this is a very well produced album – it accentuates the image already built by the girls, and Yossie and Rika’s voices now seem to fit so well with the electro-rock-pop now we’ve grown accustomed to it.  The girls vocals are flawless in every track, and mix and contrast well with each other.  They’re still producing exciting music, it’s just a shame there’s such a lack of new material.  It might take a few listens, but there are some real gems on this album which are worth buying the album for alone – at least it proves one thing, Hangry & Angry are not dead yet, and there’s still a lot of potential in this group!

Single to Listen to: Sadistic Dance
Album Track to Listen to: Shake Me
And for any H!P fan to listen to: THE PEACE! (H&A Death Tracks)

Time to panic?

You must remember this, (a kiss is still a kiss), when the 2008 Kouhaku lineup was announced and everyone started pissing their pants because OMIGAWD MORNING MUSUME GOT KICKED OUT OF KOUHAKU. And who the hell is Nozomi Ohashi? Well the thing is, Ohashi was there to sing a selection from a freakin’ Miyazaki movie (as well as set the record for youngest performer on the show), and if there is one thing to know about Japan, it is that you get the hell out of the way when anything Ghibli or Miyazaki-related comes to town. Like, you know how the entire country of the Philippines comes to a stop when Manny Pacquiao has a boxing match? That’s Japan whenever a new Miyazaki movie comes out.

So maybe, you figure, this was just a one-year aberration. They’re doing this whole epic Miyazaki tribute, so they just didn’t have room to schedule Momusu this time. After all, 2007’s big-ass medley was the “idol special” with AKB48 and Shokotan and Leah Dizon, and you didn’t see any of them in 2008, amirite?

Morning Musume’s just taking a year off, right?

Well, CRAP.

One year off is an aberration. Two years off … you might as well face the truth. Then again, it’s not like there weren’t warning signs along the way. 2005 really should have been the last year for Momusu because they did the epic trans-generational “Love Machine,” which is never going to be topped, and there was something deeply symbolic and prophetic about giving Koharu the final line, since she was still young and gawky back then yet over the space of 4 years inadvertently became EVERYONE’S FAVORITE MEMBER. And 2006 was so forgettable that I had to go youtubing to remember that GAM was on it, and then 2007 was the FINAL WARNING when the entire H!P set suddenly got moved to the front of the show and they had about 6 minutes to do a full MM/Berryz/°C-ute medley. That’s basically Kouhaku code for, “Look, you’re really not all that popular anymore, but you’ve been coming on for years, so we’re just going to stick you in a garbage timeslot until something better comes along.”

Something better finally came along.

At this point, the only way you’re going to see Morning Musume on Kouhaku ever again is for nostalgia purposes, like when SPEED re-formed in 2008 and they were all like “Hay did you guys miss us?” The only problem, of course, is that unlike other idol groups, they’ve gone through OVER 9000 lineups over the years, so who the hell do you invite?

The original 5 for a performance of “Morning Coffee”? Yeah right, not when Asuka Fukuda has gone into hiding in a cave in Afghanistan.

The Golden 10 that recorded the original “Renai Revolution 21″? And invite back Ai Kago, who disgraced Hello! Project not once but twice, and lived to tell the tale by making an entertainment-world comeback that makes UFA clap their hands to their foreheads in embarrassment? Uh. Not happening.

The Same-Freaking-Lineup-For-Three-Years 9? You gotta be joking, these girls were out there for all that time and even went IN AMERICA and still no common person in Japan can recognize who they are.

You may think this is a time to mourn the end of an era. But I think, even though Tsunku and his crazy-ass ideas have been pushed to the very edges of the map of cultural relevance, he should still be proud of what he accomplished. I mean, the rotating lineup was revolutionary. Because of that, he managed to get the same damn idol group on Kouhaku for 10 straight years! TEN YEARS! With pop music moving at the speed that it does, an idol group’s window of relevance is three years at best! (1999, 2000, 2001) But they kept getting invited back because, well, they were still around—thanks to the graduation/audition system—and you know how the Japanese love clinging to old habits. You make one successful brain-training game, suddenly everyone makes 20 brain-training games. You publish one successful manga about a girl surrounded by tons of hot guys, suddenly every manga artist is doing a story about a girl surrounded by tons of hot guys. You put Morning Musume on Kouhaku, you decide to invite them back the next year. And the next year. And the year after that. And you can’t stop yourself because, even though all the OG members have left, the damn group is still around!

And the other thing. They were the necessary bridge between the previous era and the next. I mean, can you imagine if the original 5 never managed to sell the 50,000 CDs? We’re stuck listening to the likes of MAX and SPEED for an extra five years. Folder 5 becomes the “national idol group” of the early 2000’s and we get drowned in repetitive bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp Eurobeat for an entire decade, instead of the disco revolution that DANCE*MAN brought us. There is no Mini Moni, no W, no Berryz, no °C-ute, and at some point in 2005 Yasushi Akimoto looks at the J-music world around him and says, “Well, I invented Onyanko Club, and they’re still the greatest idol supergroup of all time and have not been equaled since, so fuck it,” and goes back to sleep. Because, if there is no Hello! Project to compete against, why bother building AKB48 in the first place?

You can even go up to any of the AKB girls and, even if it’s never been officially documented, I swear that a good percentage of them will admit they chose their career path because “I wanted to get into Morning Musume.”

It is simply … the circle of life. You struggle, you fight, you make your way to the top. You stay up there as long as you can, until someone figures out how to improve on what you did, and then they knock you over and take your place. If AKB48 is on the top of the idol world right now, it is because they have stood on the shoulders of giants.

(And by 2014, anyone who still likes AKB will be kind of a laughingstock.)

There is one last thing to remember, though. Even though Kouhaku is indeed the highest honor in Japanese music, every 10 to 15 minutes you will be reminded that it is still somewhat of a dorky, conservative, smells-like-grandma’s-house kind of show. And by that I mean, enka performers. Not that I have anything against enka—I actually do sit through all of those performances as well, instead of just skipping to the pop acts, because it is important to appreciate the classical and folk music of all cultures. But at the same time, it makes you realize: Kouhaku is not a reflection of the musical tastes of Japan. It is a reflection of a mysterious panel of old fogies who are trying to guess at the musical tastes of Japan. And may I remind you of which channel broadcasts the show?

In the immortal words of Sumire Sat0rrrrr’s older brother, Tatsuhiro Satou:

I had stumbled upon their conspiracy. … I had discovered the truth behind everything. H stood for Hikikomori! In other words, N.H.K. represented “Nippon Hikikomori Kyoukai!”

INBOU

At the heart of it all, Kouhaku isn’t about the music. It isn’t about culture. It isn’t about national identity. It’s INBOU, pure and simple. Kouhaku is INBOU.

After I got over the shock, I cried so much and I still am.

I have NEVER gotten such a bad grade before >__< I WASN’T KIDDING WHEN I SAID THAT ONE WEEK I WAS SICK SCREWED ME OVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! I’m SO MAD! I’m so disappointed at myself AGGHHHHH! Just that one week I most likely had swine flu, and didn’t go to school… Just those five days and now

C-? I’m almost FAILING. I’m borderline!

And my skin condition has been SO BAD lately that my face just looks scary and I think I look like a monster; I’ve been afraid to look into the mirror, and I’m just so self-conscious everywhere I go because I don’t want anyone to see my face, and my face HURTS. And the tears made it sting even more ;____; It hurts a lot… Agh, I’m really… This grading period ends this Friday too. So my parents are going to see my C- because they mail the grades home.

I really.. need to find a way to burn that paper.. because next to all my 4.0 papers, I really don’t want that kind of paper in my history.

o.o My friend just told me the grading period ended last Friday. o.o o.o So this means.. so this means.. so this means.. this means that.. the C-…… for now, doesn’t matter? Right? Right? Oh my god. Oh my god. Thank God. Thank the lord. I can stop crying now. Okay. Breathe in, breathe out, relax. ;__; I SHALL bring it up before THIS grading period ends!! I’m sure I can AT LEAST bring it up to a B! DDDDD: There’s some stuff too, that I made up, but my teacher never entered in any score.. so hopefully, HOPEFULLY that stuff helps bring up my grade.
… Oh no. Kojiru just told me that grades don’t go in until tomorrow.
How stupid >__>

Okay I am officially calm

Please leave me a comment because every comment makes me happy? D:<3
I’m the kind of person who goes, “Hm. Five ratings, three comments? D: Darnit, two opinions I’m missing out on…” xD

“Yup, me and my crazy ideas. ^^; I know, smack me; I wrote a kind-of English rap segment for FURUSATO. xD Such a beautiful song, and what I’ve done to it.. Haha, but I wanted this to be unique and less boring? :O And yeah it’s supposed to be really fast because, uh, that’s how I envisioned it in my head before I decided to write it. Dx I’ve always wanted to try soft, fast rapping, but mehh…

^^ This is my third version of Furusato and I’ve come to become attached to this song? I hope I’ve improved, and will continue to improve and record ANOTHER Furusato. xD Well, this one is dedicated to everyone who’s stuck around long enough to remember seeing my first one, which I was really happy about because a lot of people received it so kindly even though it pains my ears to listen to it now Thank you!

Song: Furusato [Hometown]
Originally by: Morning Musume
PV: Niigaki Risa’s version because I like her~

Thank you for watching ;__; Ah, and I really like feedback. xD I just wanted to say that. I really like feedback. Hehe.

Edit;; Gosh darn the subs were killed. D: Well, here if you’re curious!
That feeling inside–there’s not a doubt
It’s that hometown nostalgia I’m singing about
Thinking about those days I used to live
Not knowing time was such a wonderful gift
The past that’s long gone, the past that I miss
If I had known any better, I would’ve cherished
it but I’ve learned now to keep living on with a smile
Though those feelings still surface in my heart every once in a while

xD The original lyrics are hard to build on, so it ended up a bit irrelevant..“

^^ Anyone who’s been following my singing long enough knows that Furusato is like MY song Dx Chiichama calls it my signature song, since I’ve sung it so many times and I’ve considered each time a stepping stone :3 I can’t wait til I can do it a 5th or 6th time! xD ^^ I’m reaaaaally happy I finished this song and uploaded it. I was really looking forward to that. D

Today this house that’s across from my school was on fire DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: H-Have I ever mentioned I have a trauma against fires? ;__; Yeah.. there’s a reason I’m naturally attracted to water and the color blue… Yeah. Fire scares me a lot.

So in the middle of 7th period, we were taking a test, and suddenly we all started hearing endless sirens and smelling smoke Dx It was REALLY strong and it really smelled bad. >__< At first I didn’t mind it, but then when the smell got stronger, it really scared me.

D: Because I recognized the exact same smell from when I was in elementary school and I was in Australia and at this park on Christmas, when suddenly this wildfire started, and eventually there were SO many wildfires, especially in the mountains, everywhere and I remember that I had to see so many of them, I tried to force myself to sleep in the car so I wouldn’t see them and I wouldn’t be afraid.

>__O But yes, I’m very scared of fire. xD In 4th grade, I made myself into a cartoon girl named Seaprincess who was a mermaid who defeated fire monsters And eventually, that got boring so I recreated myself as Water Pixie, who made healing potions at the Healing Dewdrop Leaf and fought her enemy Fire Pixie :D I wonder if that rings a bell~?

And today there was like a LOT of smoke D: It was crazy.. All polluting our air and stuff too… And >___< I actually SAW the house because we drove by it. Oh my God. It was so frightening. It was a really big house too, yet the roof was all black and there were so many flames peeking through and it was..scary. I feel so sorry for whoever’s house that is. And the neighbors.

Oh gosh I can’t even imagine what would happen if my house started burning. Dx And with my bad luck.. ;__;

See, I have arachniphobia and it’s been like this since I was little, to the point where I can’t even say the name of what I’m afraid of. But I have very, very bad luck ;__; I also think I’m cursed. I also think my house is infested. During September-October… it probably lasted more than a month long……. but there was a period where EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I had an encounter with one. I couldn’t even get through a single day without seeing one.

I swear they follow me. They know I’m afraid; they can smell my fear EWWW SO CREEPPYY TT___TT Anyway, I couldn’t escape it at all. Whether in the bathroom or in my room or in the living room or in the hallway or any of the houses my parents took me to look at, or even at SCHOOL. Once in my chemistry class and then like FOUR OR FIVE TIMES at the place I hang out at school omg EWWW ;_____; And I lost count of how many times I dreamed about them too. >_< It was that bad.

Even now, I only have to go “DAAADDDYYY!” and he comes running in with some papers ready to kill something for me.

Well I’ll be doing a Top Ten again just like I did last year. Last year’s was a hard one to judge. So many good songs. This year’s will be hard too although more because I’ll have to think of what to shove in to make the list up to ten. Anyway as all the singles that are going to be released have been now (or will have been by tomorrow at any rate) I’ve decided to have a public poll. Just what do you think has been the H!P single of the year? I’ve split double A-sides up as I figured we should go for a single track. I’ve included Buono as they are  H!P to all intents and purposes. I’ve not included Melon Kinenbi because they aren’t H!P anymore (and not because I couldn’t remember the names of their singles. Oh no.) So vote away and I’ll see just how much we disagree on everything.

Domo, domo~

Yes, you’ve been reading right… today is November 23rd. It’s Eri’s day and Reina’s month which means… it’s a TanaKame day~ Yay~~

Ah, TanaKame… the key to my heart~ Eri and Reina are such a cute couple and a very good match in my opinion . I absolutely love the chemistry between them ;D The combination of shy (Eri) and daring (Reina) is literally sparkling.

So now, TanaKame fans out there!! Let me know why TanaKame is your favorite couple out of Morning Musume/Hello!Project. I’d be interested into your opinions why you say that TanaKame is simply the best couple~

Once again, happy TanaKame day~

And now, I’m gonna share some of my fave pics of the TanaKame love <3

Here’s this year’s list. I’m sad, but not suprised.

If I could die happy now, I would.

Because today, was one of the best days of my life as a H!P fan.

I got to meet Kago Ai at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater!!

She was promoting KDDI Mobile so when I heard she was gonna be 30 minutes away from me, I was like, “I must see Kago-chan no matter what! As long as I meet one H!P member in my life, even if they are former or current, I am satified!”.

So, my dad drove me there and we came at 11 a.m. even though the event started at 12:30 p.m. While I waited, I met two girls who were H!P fans for five years and chit-chatted with them! They were so nice! Now they’re my friends on Facebook! xDDD;;

This is what the event stage looked like.

*waiting for Kago-chan to arrive*

And finally…

KAGO AI IN THE FLESH APPEARS!!!

KYAAAAAAA~!!!

I screamed like crazy. I kept shouting, “AIBON! AIBON DAISUKI!!”. Heck, I was even crying once I saw her! xDDD;; My emotions got builded up so much that before I realized it, a tear rolled down my cheek!

Kago-chan seemed really happy to see all of us! She was cuter than I imagined! Plus her English skills surprised me! She was pretty good! When she looked at the fans in our area we were standing she said, in English, “Where are you all from?”, and we (plus me of course) replied with, “NEW JERSEY!!”

So pretty much they explained about KDDI Mobile, in Japanese, blah, blah, blah. I could understand most of it but not all of it because it was kind of fast.

When the interviewer dude asked her about New York, Kago-chan said it was very artistic. And when he asked if she liked either Japan or America, Kago-chan answered, in English, “Both!”. xDDD It was soooo cute! Also, she did one her famous impersonations, Mei-chan from “My Neighbor Totoro”. Both in Japanese AND English! And I must say, it did sound like Mei-chan! I shouted, in Japanese, “Cute! It sounds like her!”.

After that, there was a raffle. One for free mobile service if you get a KDDI Mobile phone and phone straps. There were blue and red tickets distributed to the customers at the event. Obviously, my number wasn’t called. Raffles like these are hard to get so of course it’s hard to win easily.

And after the event ended, TIME FOR THE HANDSHAKE EVENT!!

However, there were a few conditions. People with blue tickets got to shake her hand and take a picture with her and people with red tickets only got to shake her hand. Unfortunately, I had a red ticket. ;_;

But, it was the best experience of my life!

(Note: Some of this might not be 100% accurate. I was too excited that I kind of forgot what happened! xDDD;;)

As soon as I saw Kago-chan, I shook her hand and said, in Japanese, “I’m a big fan! You’re so cute!”. She smiled at me and said, “Thank you!”. And then, we parted with a “bye-bye”.

It. Was. Amazing.

Being able to meet a H!P idol is a wonderful feeling.

Ooh! When the press interviewed her, an American reporter asked her about Tsuji-chan. When he asked if she was going to sing with her again, she said, “I don’t think so.”.

And, that was pretty much it.

That was such a fufilling day!

I wish I could repeat it again! x3

Someday, I hope I get to see her again!

Kago-chan, please definitely return to New Jersey if your schedule allows you!

We’ll all be waiting for you with open arms! <333

Unfortunately, no Kei-chan Picture of the Day. I’m too lazy. xDDD;; But, I’ll definitely do it next time! Promise! Maybe I’ll do two! x3

And that’s it! Byeeee~! x3

Maidenhowl’s says : Yup, Preview lagu DESTINY LOVE dari High King sudah muncul dan lama saya tunggu-tunggu. Jauh dari lagu sebelumnya pada album Champloo (DIAMOND), DESTINY LOVE, Lagu bernuansa RnB slow ini bener-bener cocok dengan image High King yang cool dan keren. Lagu ini lebih menerapkan line solo untuk member-member nya dan asumsi saya vocal utama dari lagu ini ada 3orang yaitu Ai Takahashi, Tanaka Reina, Yuuka Maeda. Untuk Yajima Maimi dan Saki Shimizu lebih ke arah line rap pada lagu ini. Perpaduan antara RnB slow dan Rap ini yang membuat lagu ini menjadi terdengar bagus. Lagu ini seperti mengingatkan saya terhadap lagu-lagu yang dinyanyikan Goto Maki yang semua tau bahwa ia lebih cocok pada lagu RnB dan goto terkesan memiliki image yang cool dan keren. Jadi bagi para pencinta lagu RnB slow dan Rap akan lebih mudah menyukai lagu DESTINY LOVE. Saya juga senang karena Group Suffel yang keren ini masih diberi kesempatan untuk bernyanyi lagi. Setidaknya saya sedikit berharap bahwa ini lagu bakalan ada pv nya.^^
