Double birthday! A MaiMaiMaimi day!

Hello! It’s MaiMaiMaimi day today(even though wordpress already thinks it’s already 8th of February), as you all know well – the 7th of February is the birthday of both Yajima Maimi and Hagiwara Mai. Maimi has turned 18 today and Mai has turned 14. So I wish them both a happy birthday, lots of presents, lots of friends’ smiles and a big-big cake(or two big-big cakes)!

お誕生日おめでとう、舞ちゃん、舞美ちゃん！

Happy birthdays, Mai-chan, Maimi-chan!

And a summer-ish and very cute photo of MaiMaiMaimi sisters to warm your hearts up on such a cold wintry day.

Thanks for your time.

News Batch 7

Hello! After a long time I’m reviving the “news batch” series of posts aimed more on telling you “what to look forward to” than telling you about the very fresh news.

The DVD of the horror movie titled “Fuyu no Kaidan ~Boku to Watashi to O-baa-chan no Monogatari~” starring Yajima Maimi and Fukuda Kanon was released on 6th of January. Personally I will be watching it no matter how trash-ish it would be for the sake of Maimi\Kanyon goodness.

And you can of course order it(if your a fan of such movies).

Amazon.co.jp \ YesAsia

Choose whatever shop you like(or what ever shop is more convenient for you in terms of shipping price or stuff like that).

And also on 6th of January the 11th single of ℃-ute titled “Shock!” was released. I think I won’t express my opinion in the news post, so I’ll leave that to you – besides everyone has one’s own opinion.

And you can watch the PV on - Dohhh UP! -

Left to right – Regular edition, Limited Edition, Single V

You can still buy(if you want) the regular edition and single v, but I’m not sure about the limited edition.

Mano Erina released her 2nd photobook on 20th of January. There’s already couple of previews(as well as the cover) and there’s a digest of the DVD(Mano Guide) on - Dohhh UP! –

And I’d say there is something to see there <3

Manoeri’s cute as always – so there’s nothing I add to this. Just enjoy the previews(thanks go to people from JPH!P for finding them and uploading).

These are from UTB and there are also from the actual photobook if you look for them.

And if you want to support Manoeri and buy her photobook – you can do it either at YesAsia or at CDJapan or at Amazon or at HMV or at whatever other shop you know. The prices are pretty much the same – though at CDJapan it’s a bit cheaper and YesAsia already includes the transportation costs into the price.

Buono! are to release their 10th single on 3rd of February it is titled “Our Songs”

There’s already a full PV at Dohhh UP!

Top to Bottom – Regular Edition(CDJP\HMV\YA\AMZN), Limited Edition(CDJP\HMV\YA\AMZN)

And on 10th of February they are to release their 3rd Album temporary entitled “We are Buono!”

Top to Bottom – Regular Edition(CDJP\YA\AMZN), Limited Edition(CDJP\YA\AMZN)

Also on 10th of February,Morning Musume will unleash yet another bunch of limited editions(and one regular) for their “Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai” 42nd single.

Left to right – Regular Edition(CDJP\YA\AMZN), Limited Edition A(CDJP\YA\AMZN), Limited Edition B(CDJP\YA\AMZN), Limited Edition C(CDJP\YA\AMZN)

Limited A comes with a DVD with Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai (Dance Shot Version) on it.

Limited B comes with a DVD with Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai (Close-up Version) on it.

Limited C comes with a DVD with Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai (Make-up Version) on it.

Three versions(one regular and two limited) of Mano Erina’s 6th single “Haru no Arashi” will be released on 24th of February.

And there’s already a full PV at Dohhh UP!

(which is cute as usual and there are new Hello!Pro Eggs as background dancers for Manoeri so go check it out)

Left to right – Regular Edition(CDJP\YA\AMZN\HMV), Limited Edition A(CDJP\YA\AMZN\HMV), Limited Edition B(CDJP\YA\AMZN\HMV)

Also on 24th of February, ℃-ute are to release 5th album titled “Shocking 5″ no covers are available yet – I’ll probably post up about it as soon as there’s more info available.

On 25th of February, 8th Photobook of Kamei Eri is to be released. Also not much info is available currently except its title “Sweet”. As usual – there also would be the DVD for this, on 3rd of March. Title is still TBA.

Also on 3rd of March, Berryz Koubou 22nd Single(double-a side again) is to be released.
The title is “Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda! / Otakebi Boy WAO!”

So that’s pretty much all of the January-February(plus couple of March) announced releases. I will post the March releases news batch as well as additional info upon the titles that are still without much info at all – as soon as more info will be known.

Thanks for your attention.

Good bye Kanna, and Good Luck

Hello! This post will be really sad, as today(well technically yesterday if you count Japanese Time Zone) Hello-Project official site has announced, that Arihara Kanna decided to come back to normal girl’s life and thus she leaves ℃-ute and Hello!Project as well – without any Graduation Concert or anything like this.

As you may know – since February she was absent from all the ℃-ute activities, due to bunion deformity. I think many fans went out to Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia to look this up(or someone already knew what was this – I know I didn’t) and they could see that the operation required to fix this is not very difficult and doesn’t give any further consequences as well as the rehab time is pretty short. But since February up until now – Kanna didn’t appear. We all waited, some of us lost hope of her ever returning. But as of today, all our hopes fell down, shot by the official statement – Kanna will be no more.

I really have mixed feelings about this. Yes, I will miss Kanna in ℃-ute, I will really miss her voice, her  character. And I think that ℃-ute lost a great member. But if that’s really what Kanna wants, they who am I to make her change her mind(let’s pretend that we could) – I completely understand her wish to be just normal. Because however you think it’s cool – idol life is really cruel, full of sad moments and unpleasant surprises. After all – it’s a full-scale and really hard work. So I understand why one could wish to just stop it all at once and be normal human being, with human being’s problems and happy moments.

So how ever I would miss Kanna – I want – from the very depth of my heart – wish her luck with her normal life, I wish her to be happy as she probably would be in her normal life and I hope that this is what she really wanted.

I don’t want to mention any rumours that circled around back there, when one of the magazines published Kanna’s photos with a boy(which being as a H!P member is not permitted) – which sparkled up again(if they ever stopped). I just don’t want to add fuel to this rumour fire. Whatever the rumours are – Kanna now has a right to do what she wants and to be with whomever she wants.

Thanks for what you have been for us Kanna. Good bye  and Good Luck!

Okai Chisato’s 15th birthday!

Hello! It’s 21st in Japan, which means that we have yet another beautiful H!P girl to congratulate with her birthday! Today(21st of June) Okai Chisato turns 15.

I congratulate  her with her birthday, I wish this day to be the brightest and happiest of them all. I wish her lots of presents, lots of fun and happiness.

And I’ve made some avatars out of usual official H!P pictures. There’s 15 of them – just as much as how old is Chisato. They’re pretty simplistic, but I hope you will like them. You can use them however you like, just remember to credit me if you do use them.

But before that – just an uber-cute(imho) Chisato picture.

Happy 15th birthday Chisato-chan!!!

お誕生日おめでとうちさとちゃん!!!

And as promised – a gallery with avatars. All in 200*200 resolution – so you probably would have to resize them for some forums.

P.s. Thanks go to people who uploaded those pictures in the first place and to people who gathered them at H!O and JPH!P.

Thanks for your time.

Otona na Kanna(Kanna’s 16th Birthday picspam)

Hello! Yes, I know that actually Kanna’s birthday is not on 14th of July, but on 15th of July. But since she was born in Japan, and time is running faster in Japan than it does here(just a joke – it’s mere time zone differences, no magic involved). Anyhow, it’s 15th of July in Japan already, so I congratulate Kanna with her 16th birthday!!!!!

I wish her to be happy on her birthday day and have lots of fun with her friends and relatives. And I wish nothing to make her frown and be angry. I wish her problems to go away, I wish her to come back to ℃-ute effortlessly and I wish her to be always as cheerful as she always is.

And as I promised in the previous post – this will be the last picspam post, its theme is grown-up Kanna. Even though she’s not a full grown-up at all(only 16 and that’s 4 more years until officially becoming an adult in Japan), but she has come a long way, gradually becoming more experienced performer and beautiful girl. I hope you will enjoy this final picspam gallery as much as I enjoyed picking pictures for it.

お誕生日おめでとう、かんなちゃん！

Happy birthday, Kanna-chan!

P.s. Thanks go to people who uploaded these pictures in the first place and who gathered them to Hello!Online’s picture board.

P.p.s. Tomorrow I think I’ll do another post here and congratulate Kanna with her birthday by my time zone.

Thanks for your time.

Kodomo na Kanna(Pre-birthday picspam 3)

Hello! This is the third picspam gallery post. Since this post is last but one, I’ve decided to make the last two galleries(that is today and tomorrow, since I’ll be congratulating Kanna by Japanese time – which means that she will have her birthday while it will be still the previous day here) a somewhat comparison galleries. And I’ve decided to compare Kanna’s ‘then’ and ‘now’.

And so this gallery will contain Kanna’s childhood time pictures. Enjoy.

0 Days 18 Hours 19 Minutes left till Kanna’s birthday.

That’s it – tomorrow’s post will be birthday post(also with picspam gallery).

P.s. Thanks go to people who uploaded these pictures in the first place and who gathered them to Hello!Online’s picture board.

Kanna no Egao to Waraigao(Pre-birthday picspam 2)

Hello! It’s been raining whole day today – and what else can brighten one’s day than cute Kanna smile and laugh. And so the theme of this gallery is Kanna’s smiling and laughing face. There’s lots and lots of such pictures – so it was a tough choice, but I hope you will like it. Enjoy.

1 Day 18 Hours 5 Minutes left till Kanna’s birthday.

P.s. As in previous post – thanks go to the uploaders who uploaded these pictures in the first place, and to people from JPH!P forum, who gathered these pictures together.

Thanks for your time.
