°C-ute to disband

On August 20th °C-ute announced they will disband after their Concert in Saitama Super Arena in June 2017.

I am still really shocked. I am kind of not ready for this, so it took me a long time to write about it (and I moved out from my apartment).
C-ute has been around for 11 years and this group is a big part of why I became such a big fan of H!P and Idols in general. Just like with Momusu and Berryz, I really got into them in 2012 and since then they never disappointed me. They have great performance skills now and I like (almost) all their songs. One of the best parts of C-ute is their constistency and I admire them for their hard work. Since their creation they lost 3 members, but they grew even stronger as a 5 member group and are probably one of the most talented Idol groups out there. Adding to that they are all getting along really well and have interesting personalities!
When I was finding out about them disbanding it was the morning after my birthday party and I was tired as fuck. So, I sat in the train, listened to C-ute songs and started crying.. I don't know, it really, really surprised me. Of course I feared they would sooner or later stop being a group, but it seemed so FARAWAY! They have been doing so well lately and with all the graduations, I thought they would at least wait another 1 or 2 years. And I always thought they had the potential to continue as a group even without H!P and without being Idols.. They also considered that, but decided against it. Of course I respect their desicions especially since the members have been Idols more than half of their life!!! Still, it saddens me a lot and it made me realize even more how much I love this group.
At least I will be in Japan soon, so I hope to get the chance to see them, perhaps even at their last concert? I mean, I will be living in the Saitama prefecture, so it's realistic (if I get tickets).

I still don't want to think about that, but hopefully they will all conitinue to kind of stay in the spotlight? Especially Airi needs to continue singing and perhaps they can open social media and stuff, that would be cool! And I hope to see them hang out even after that, because they seem so close and even like real friends.
But I will enjoy the last few months, events, concerts, singles (album?) and everything from this group until their last live!!
I LOVE °C-UTE!!!!!

Smileage - Aa susukino/ Chikyuu wa Kyou mo Ai wo Hakgkumu (regular A) ~unboxing~

This is an unboxing of S/mileage's last single before they turned into Angerme. It's Aa Susukino/ Chikyuu wa kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumu (regular A).

I really loved 6nin S/mileage. They look all so beautiful here!

Inside looks like this

And the CD in a really beautiful rosé (?)

Not the most creative cover, but I like it!

Lyrics

This style is a lot better. I like the red outfits from Chikyuu wa kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumu.

And I've got a Kananan bonus photo!! She's so cool, and I'm happy to have a card of her!

Tracklist:

1. Aa Susukino
2. Chikyuu wa Kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumu
3. Aa Susukino (instrumental)
4. Chikyuu wa Kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumu (instrumental)

Aa Susukino is a beautiful song, but I like Chikyuu wa Kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumo more. It's so cool and dark and I love the melody and the lyrics!!

Since this is the last S/mileage single, it's something really special to me, and I'm really happy to have it!

AKB48 - Love Trip

Today I'm talking about AKB48's newest song Love Trip from their single Love Trip/ Shiawase wo Wakenasai.

Wow, this is AKB48's first double A-side single! H!P has been doing it for years now and seems like AKB also wants to release even more songs. xD
This is the Sousenkyo Single, so it's made up with the members that were voted into the top16 of the Senbatsu. This means a Sasshi Center once again, yes, yes yeees!! I'm quite happy about that, and also about Jurina being third and a lot of other cool people being in this senbatsu like Akari, Sakura, Haruppi, Nana etc..

Love Trip is a really up-beat and happy song and one of the best AKB has put out recently.. It does sound pretty typical for a 48group song, but it has it's own charm and the chorus is so freaking catchy!! I had to get used to the few 'Love Trip' lines sung by men, but they are also quite catchy! But I really, really like the Sasshi solo lines in the beginning and right at the start of the bridge before the last chorus. Okay, she doesn't have the best voice, but I like her voice so much since it's so recognizable, and it's just cool to see her finally getting a solo line to start a SSK song. ;D
All in all I love this song; it's just so positive and I'm totally jamming it this summer!!

But I'm also really excited for the video, so let's take a look:

Title and Artist. I like the pink writing :D

The video starts off with a boy confessing his love and asking the girl out to be his girlfriend!

And she says yes, YEAAAAH!!! That's really cute~

Haha, everyone has been watching

The Hakata girls have also been watching xD

Sasshi: We are going on a Love Trip

Seems to be so much fun to go on a bus tour with this senbatsu!!

Jurina & Sasshi sitting next to each other! A dream come true, since they are probably my two favourite memebrs out of this senbatsu xD

Sakura and Sayanee next to each other.
OMG, Sakura is simply the cutest drop. Look at her face and that heart *-*

She's so beautiful. Though she is a bit too old to be in a seifuku.. still, she's rocking it!

Jurina and Paruru are here to cheer him on.

Wow, they are all going away..

This girl is shouting for a boy now

Here he comes!

Excited memebrs (with their hands in front of their mouth, like always XD)

She's really cute!

Dasu is praying for her xD

HE TOOK HER HANDS, YEAAAH

Everyone running towards them XD

Members crying

Sasshi: WE DID IT!

And that was the video.
Just like the title suggests, the members are going on a Love Trip. bringing love to different young people. Well, they are just helping them to confess their love to someone (or propose), which is a really cute idea if you ask me. There was so much love and happiness in this video so I actually started crying a bit (hehe ^^'). Everyone, except for one boy was succesfull and it was nice to see so many different types of confessing love. This is probably one of AKB48's best videos ever, since it's just so beautiful made and has a really nice and positive message!! And who knows, perhaps seeing this, even more people will confess their love (wouldn't hurt the birth rate in Japan.. haha)
I'm not really sure if the scenes were scripted with actors, but they did seem real to me.. For example, the guy who proposed to his girlfriend and the really shy guy seemed really moved, and I don't think that they were actors.. But who knows xD I want to believe, it's real.
Of course, we also saw the members in between. It was a nice mix of couples and members though of course the higher placed members were shown more. But except for Juri, I saw everyone a bit. Perhaps I just didn't notice her?
The last chorus with the performance was so cool and I loved all the outfits! Though the dance is a bit funny. xD

Well, I'm impressed by this video and the song is also nice. We've gotten a really nice single this time, so I'm happy!!! :3 Can't wait to by this in Japan.. and to perhaps finally see some members or the group live.. caaaaan't waaaait!
This got me even more excited, haha!

Okay, bye for now ;)
