So today is a major day for me. Yossy's birthday, Airi's birthday, Gomaki Ganbare! Day and the last part of Aibon's interview (excuse me for still calling her that. For me she'll forever be Aibon no matter who much she changes). So to all my four beloved idols something is happening today.

I had planned to do a long post about them. But let's put all that aside. Why? Because

1. I've got a shitload of schoolwork again and no time for blogging
2. I'm stunned. And I'm A WAY MORE stunned that I was with Namida no Iro.

Just... how great is this? And (I NEVER swear!) why the fuck didn't they have this as the main version? May I ask? Just what is the logic behind this? I know that everyone else is thinking the same. But I still cannot understand...

Aichan looks genuinely lonely. This scene... the way she gulps... She really made me almost cry. Gaki and Reina were great (can you say that in this case?) too. Actually... I don't think I'll be able to write anything smart now. So I'll leave that for the good writers.

Just... When will they learn to do stuff in widescreen?

 

I feel bad for not featuring any of those for I mentioned first. I love you all! You're my top four, can you hear?! (Though Aichan... you might be number five now...) I'll put one of my favourite photos of each one. ♪

 

 

 

Wow, Gocchin was a hard one since I don't have any favourite photos of her. Probably because she's always gorgeous :P (though so are all of these girls!). In the end I decided to put a funny one because I love those jeans to death.

Actually, these photos tell quite well the images I have of each of these girls. Unfortunately I'll have to change my image of Aibon since that's what she wants... But since a picture tells more than a thousand words, I'm convinced not to try to say anything more but to read my love for these girls in the photos.

PS. People at Hello!Online translated Aibon's blog entries. I love them! ♥♥

 

I'm officially in love with this group. ♥ I loved Honto no Jibun but Renai♥Rider is even better! And the PV... Well, if you ask me, Buono! will be going far. Because I love Airi, I will start this post with her. ♪

(All the screencaps will be of poor quality as they're taken from Dohhup, sorry about that.) She looks cuter than ever! And I really like her hair done like that, which is surprising - I hate when Reina has it done like that, and she has it often. But it suits Airi very well. ♥ Though actually I think that Airi's and Reina's faces are shaped quite similarly. Then why don't I like it on Reina? Hmm...

The PV is shot in widescreen as Honto no Jibun was and that's great! I have never figured out why they bother to add those colored blanks (if you know what I mean, I don't know what they are called) in H!P PVs. Why on earth shoot them on widescreen and then make them 4:3? I don't get it. But anyway. This PV is otherwise a little different fro Honto no Jibun which was great since they shot it in real surroundings. This one is still good and I like the story a lot.

I like their clothes very much, especially Airi's. The green scarf is my favourite and also her shirt. Although I've never really understood leather shorts. Aren't they very uncomfortable? Well, anyway, Airi is looking the best and also a little different from the other two as they're both wearing skirts.

Seems like poor Momochan is getting picked on again... While Airi and Miya get nice little motorcycles, this is what Momo gets:

So Momo is going with a tiny tricycle... But it doesn't seem to bother her. ☆

But they start the race and poor Momochan is of course last...

All three sound incredibly great in this song and their voices blend pefectly to each other. Miya's opening lines are wonderful, she sounds a little bit similar to how she sounded when she was little. I'm also happy that Miya's getting a lot of attention in Buono!, she definetely deserves it. Even though she's one of the centers in Berryz, it's nice that she got picked to Buono! also. BTW, I don't see anything wrong with her so-called "long chin/face". I think it's all right.

We come now to my favourite bit - all the girls are looking absolutely gorgeous... I love the hearts in their eyes, they remind me of Tanpopo's Oujisama to Yuki no Yoru where they have little snow flakes in their eyes... ☆

Airi's eye is the most beautiful! But what else could you expect me to say... :) Though Miya comes as a close second and in the next pictures she's definetely the most beautiful! One of the prettiest pictures I've ever seen of Miya! She is already quite mature looking. When Airi's just cute all the time (though so cute that no-one could be cuter) Miya's actually BEAUTIFUL. Her facial features are so symmetrical. ♪

Have you noticed how high her ears are?

While Airi and Miya seem to be at their best in this PV Momo is being like she is all the time. She has this same expression throughout the PV:

Which is not necessarily a bad thing. :) Momo looks always like this and that's just Momo. She doesn't let anything get her down. Still remember the tricycle? ☆

Well, she doesn't let that bother her either. :) Momo's tricycle wins Airi's and Miya's motorcycles anyday. One of my favourite parts of the PV! Another with Momo is the Hawaii part. It's funny, it just comes out of nowhere. :)

Let's put some more Airi.

How can anyone be that cute? ★

♪ I loved this bit also... The black (and a little bit of other colours also) figures bouncing up and down (Hey! That's called dancing!) look so sweet. ♪

BTW I have no idea why I was being so informatic even though all of you have  watched the PV already for sure... Hope that didn't bother you.

With 20 screencaps (icredible! This was the first time I've ever taken them, I just learnt how to do it to make this post) this post is now over! ♥

For the last couple of days I have been very exited for a couple of reasons.

• December! Christmas! (Okay, nothing to do with anything :)) (Except for MorningBerryz's exiting draw which I'm hoping to win (not very probable. I always have very bad luck in draws).)
• Nono's baby! I know it's been already a long time since we got the wonderful news (a couple of days, but it's a long time for a persin whose whole life it is) but I can still say: Congratulations, Nono! This little kid has become a mother. ♪
  

  Nono
  The name of the baby (Noa) is also very beautiful. And one thing you "idiot girl": you sure are wise to say that you're not going let your baby become an idol before she's finished her schooling. I wish everything good to your family!
• Buono! second single
• Nacchi - Maimi single previews
• ONGAKU GATAS ALBUM.
• Suzuki Airi photobook coming soon and previews up.

 

Buono! is a very funny unit to me as it consists of Airi, who is my favourite Hello!Project Kid, and Miya and Momo, who instead I've never been very fond of. Though I love Miya's solo lines in early Berry's songs. Everytime I'm like "whooaa, who is singing this line" and go check it at some color-coded lyrics (usually at PROJECThello) the singer is ALWAYS Miya. For example in Natsu Wakame, the b-side of Fighting Pose wa Date ja nai, I enjoy little Miya's very nasal vocals a lot, even though I don't usually like nasal vocals. And little Miya's vocals are always extremely nasal. Good for her, since I even hate Airi's voice when she sometimes sings like that (eg Sayonara no Love Song in their concert). Miya=the only one who can make me like nasal voice. :)

But, even though there's only one member I really like, I love this unit. So I'm exited about the new single. Maybe they will even have an album later, just like Kohachan? That would mean more Airi solos which is always a good thing. I really love her voice. Who could have resisted her in Aa! (I still wonder who came up with that name and what it's suppsed to mean)? I hope that she will get a chance to sing Masayume, the b-side of FIRST KISS, solo in a °C-ute concert. She sang FIRST KISS solo alpready in this autumn's concert tour, so it's Masayume's turn! I'll put Masayume here as probably not everyone has heard it. Such a wonderful song. ♥ It's odd that even though Reina and Miya were also in Aa! I don't like them quite as much as I like Airi (Reina being the least interesting to me). But all three of them sound great in this song. 

I don't know if this is already common knowledge or not, but I'll tell it anyway because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. :) Have you noticed that pose that Buono! seems to be doing all the time in their videos such as "Making of" feature and the special introduction they did back then when this unit was announced, and that is also featured in that Honto no Jibun single V bacskide cover? Stickin their index finger to their cheek? Do you know what that means? Well, as the group's name is Buono!, this is a gesture that Italian people use to say that the food is good. They stick their index finger to their cheeck and and then spin it. I think it's a nice detail to do, related to the unit's name. I wonder who came up with it, or did they thought about it already when they decided the name for the unit?

But anyway, all this rambling was only to tell you that I'm looking forward to the second single of Buono!, this great anime-related unit.

 

Next up: the nicely matcing pair, Nacchi-Maimi. What I'm exited about this time, are the previews that are up on this page. As I have been finding myself more and more pleased with the recent style that has been used in Nacchi's and Ayaya's latest releases (Iki wo Kasanemashou and Double Rainbow, another topic for a post :)) and I find these a little bit similar (but just a little, because these actually remind me more of Tanpopo 2nd gen's songs) I'm very happy with these two songs and definitely going to buy this single whichever will be picked to be a-side.

What I'm really amazed by is how good Nacchi's and Maimi's voices sound together. I was a little bit worried about this because I find Nacchi's voice remarkably beautiful but Maimi has yet to convince me. I feared that it would be "the experienced Nacchi" singing excellently and "the hardworking Maimi" desperately trying to sound decent by Nacchi's side. But to my great surprise and also relief Maimi's voice doesn't sound quite so bad while Nacchi is still better, for understandable reasons. I'm very proud of Maimi! ☆

Just wait, year 2008, I'll be a lot poorer then! I still have singles and albums worth of someting like 250 euros to buy from this year, so I doubt I'll ever have enough money to have them all... :,( Choosing is always hard. In hope to be able to live without it, I'm still waiting for winning the jackpot which I've intended to win for a while now. Meanwhile, I'll have to settle for being irresponsible and downloading some of the music (a lot of it) illegally. I'm sorry!

 

Have anyone else (well of course you have) noticed the recent trend of H!P Kids sub-groups? Before, it was Tanpopo, Petitmoni, Minimoni, but now it's Buono!, Athena and Robbikerottsu (which was originally going to be Gakisan's solo, right?), Nacchi-Maimi? Someday one of these precious H!P kids will go solo while still being in her group just like Yuuko was the first to do in Momusu. By the way that could be Risako, she's the one who's not involved in any sub-groups right now.

It's not bad, I like all these combinations, but throwing in a couple of Momusus and then adding the Kids seems like... "Hey, let's revive the sub-groub thing, they sold quite nicely back then!" "Okay, Momusu is so old already... We did this before with them - this time let's create more ZYXs and Aa!s to promote the Kids! Though they have now their major groups they didn't have back then... Well what the heck, I like the Kids better anyway!" Now we have one totally Kids sub-group, couldn't we have one with Momusu? Like Eririn (well she IS underused), Junjun (I know many people already love her a lot :)) and Reina (just to choose from the ones that aren't doing anything yet), for example. Actually I would like Gakisan-Aika-Eririn the most. And Aichan going solo. :)

The "Exiting ^_^ no.2", where I shall cover my relationship with Ongaku Gatas and Airi's new photobook (as they're related in my mind, don't ask why), will come soon. This post was just going to get too long again. :) I'd also like to thank everyone who bothers to read my blog even though I only just started. ♥
