I truly read each and every comment and PM left here taking everything to heart♥~ and although I know I've been late so often recently (ノロ≦。)!with replying it's really your comments and messages that have meant so much to me being here and writing this blog♥....I truly wouldn't be here without you♥~writing to me. *Thank you* so much for everything~!
♥MB o(*´∀`)o゛♥♥♥~!
Hmmm...I'm a bit hesitant to open up the sealing on Momusu's latest single "Kimagure Princess" (._.;)! as I'm a bit worried that this may be the very first single by them that I'm not going to like? (*´艸`)!!While I'm yet to hear a single note or vocal from this single I've just been reading a lot of not so good thoughts on it so I'm very hesitant to listen as their singles stare at me from across the room......
And Yay~! a complete pv collection from Arashi♥ is finally here~!!! o(*´∀`)o゛So many awesome pvs that we can finally watch whenever we want too♥~! I haven't watched "Sakura sake" in such a long time...(´⌒`。)!!So many pvs♥ here to love so I think I'll just play them over and over until someone♥ makes me stop!!…(^q^)!! If you don't hear from me for awhile you now know what happened.....(。ーωー。)!
I was really happy (pun maybe intended (*´艸`)!) with so many of the happy/*Smile* T-shirt designs~ from the latest H!P concert tours~!! (*´∀`*)。。。。。so the real dilemma came from which ones to choose??? (・c_・;)?Colors are important so that was one consideration but more importantly which members to choose as I was only allowing myself two member shirts from these releases~ (人∀`*)。
I really wanted two group shirts for sure...those being Momusu's and C-ute's and I really really so *adore* those happy face icons for each member on Momusu's...so so cute too!! as you first guess which belongs to each member from the front and then on the back of Momusu's shirt are the complete list of member's names next to their happy (^o^)'s~! Sort of like answers???.....maybe my imagination is much too strange~…(^q^)!
I ended up choosing Koha♥chan's solo T-shirt set and it really became an easy decision as this is perhaps her very last T-shirt set as a member of H!P...(;´□`)!!!This most likely will never be worn as it's rather like a last collector's item from one of Momusu's most *adorable* members~ and definitely their most energetic!!! っo(*´∀`)o! Momusu's included a nine photo set while Koha♥chan's came with a two photo set (always ♥ the fighting pose~!!!) as well as a cute wristband which also bears her happy face icon~♥ ^ ^。
C-ute's latest concert T-shirt set includes six member photos and their "Cutie Jump" tour logo~ all in a sort of army green?....and I'm just happy to have one last Ume photo from her final tour with C-ute..I can't believe she's graduated already (;´□`)。。。while Manoeri's was so much a must have as not only do I love red but it's also her debut solo concert T-shirt set~ o(*´∀`)o゛♥!Manoeri's also includes two photos as well as a name wristband~. The piano silhouette jumped at me from when I very first saw Manoeri's design and it's so so so so so so perfect!!! Her girl next door idol image + piano♥ = pure ~♥~! o(*´∀`)o゛。
Here are the accompanying member photos...once again in order♥:
Matsu♥Takako's latest single release utilizes this very technology~ and here we're given 3 most *beautiful* songs to listen to~ っo(*´∀`)o!
Both the title track "Kimi to nara" ("When I'm with you") as well as track two "Kitto tsutaete" (I'll definitely tell [you]" ) are very relaxing and *sweet* light contemporary jazz compositions while the third track "500 Miles" falls more as a standard ballad~. A full arsenal of musicians were assembled for these recordings and it really gives each song so much depth down to the subtle strings~.... the sometimes "Brubeck" like jazz piano chords~ as well as the light tingling of the percussion~. Matsu♥Takako's vocals shine so sweetly as she's become so accomplished in this sense with such an elegant delivery, but perhaps it's her song writing that's so very impressive as she continues to pen much of her own music as she composed both lyrics & music in entirety for tracks one and two~. More on Matsu♥Takako and her beginnings and history in drama, movies and music can be found here~....with additional posts here ^ ^。 I apologize so much for the now broken video clips in some of those linked posts (;´□`) but perhaps one day I'll be able to redo them~.
Matsu Takako's "Kimi to nara" can be ordered here at Cdjapan.
Matsu Takako's "Kimi to nara" can be ordered here at YesAsia.
Matsu Takako's "Kimi to nara" can be ordered here at HMV Japan.
Sakai Izumi collaborated with Konishi Yasuharu to record the most beloved song♥ "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" and while there are numerous cover versions by many different artists of this song...here it takes on a distinct French flavor~ making it a bit unique beside other American artist versions.
Sakai Izumi sings in English completely for the entire recording~ which I imagine was already most difficult with pronunciations in English having no counterpart sounds in Japanese....and her Japanese accent is still quite strong here but I think it's such a cute and lively performance and along with the French instrumentation there's also an adorable chorus of children heard during the song's interludes~. This 3" CD single was included with the first pressings of ZARD's album "Eien" which was released on February 17th, 1999 ^ ^。
Surely some of these must be just lost in translation (・_・);。。。and it being Halloween I just thought that these would be a bit of fun~…(^q^)! I'm also thinking that surely someone visiting may have visited one of these eateries and I'm sure all of their dishes must be *wonderful*~.....it's just that.........

.....talk about being straightforward with your signage!!! ( ̄O ̄*) omg this just better not be the very first time that one is eating here! This is so not a first date♥ type of lunch or dinner!! I think I'll eat here after I'm married~♥。。。(。ーωー。)!Sorry that's just raunchy (*>ω<)。。okay kidding!!
.....and remember to never drink and fly or let friends drink and fly~! Happy Halloween minnasan~! ^ ^
The solid pastel colors make for beautiful packaging for Manoeri's fourth major single release~ and while the tone recently has been *genki* J-Pop heaven with her singles ""Sekai wa Summer Party" and "Hajimete no keiken", "Kono mune no tokimeki wo" shows a much more contemporary pop style for H!P's very active soloist~!
Continuing with this most attractive formula~ are the inclusion of the quartet of very very talented and *adorable* H!P Eggs~!...and here even with a ballad based composition their presence even in a "dance ver." which I was a bit surprised by at first does bring a whole new dimension and liveliness to the performance~.
Mano Eri's "Kono mune no tokimeki wo" releases can be ordered from YesAsia.
Mano Erina releases can be ordered here at HMV Japan.
"Kono mune no tokimeki wo" is presented in 3 pv versions~ and to collect each one LE type A, type B along with the accompanying pv DVD single bring them together collectively with a "piano ver.", "dance ver." and the original version of the pv respectfully included with each release~. The shades of Fall are clearly presented in the pv's overall feeling and appearance and you so have to love all of the leaves scattered throughout the main set which creates such a warm ambiance~.
