Hello 2015!!

Happy New year 2015!!

I know I'm a bit too late, as I have been really busy the last two days. I was meeting up with friends and spent a lot of time with my family. 2014 has been a great and exciting year. I did my Abitur, Germany won the World Cup, I had my 18th birthday, I went to Japan and I started university. Expecially the last one was a big change, since I had moved to Duisburg for that. I found a lot of new friends and learning Japanese is so much fun! I wasn't able to blog as much as I wished to, but at least I have 7 posts more than I had in 2013! XD
Without noticing I somehow was able to hit 50,000 views. This makes me really happy, and I thank everyone who reads my blog for that.

Here are my most viewed posts of all time, and as you can see the 'I got a boy' post is still at the top. I guess Girls' Generation is just so popular. xD But as you can see, my AKB posts are slowly going up as well. And Sayanee is clearly popular.

And this are the searching words that some people were typing in and came to my blog with. Seeing Jurina as danso seems to be really popular (I love it too) and it's clear that many people are interested in Yabuki Nako. But what's with the ''nana is arrested and handcuffed''. :O
I really love these statistics though. :D


But now a new year has started and I'm really excited for it!!
In 2014 I started to learn about more Japanese groups. Those are mostly Nogizaka46, Tokyo Girls' Style, Team Syachihoko and Yumemiru Adolescence. So, I hope to see even more awesome things from them.

Hopes and predicitions:

I will do this again. It's so much fun to do and some of my predictions from last year became true, so they are (won't include the Kpop ones, since I'm not really a Kpop fan anymore):

H!P to continue their double A-sides (YEP!)
Morning Musume '14 to continue their Oricon 1st streak (sadly not for the last single) and be seen as a top group again (kinda?)
Morning Musume '14 to get invited to Kouhaku (sadly not ._.)
C-ute to sell more than 100,00 copies of a single (Nope. Dunno why I thought about this xD)
Berryz to get more PV and song budget (Yep, definetely)
AKB48 to release more ineteresting songs (Yeeess. Though some songs are still bland. And sadly more and more people are hating on them because of that)
Kojima Haruna to graduate/ announce her graduation (Nope, she's always just trolling xD)
AKB48 to not continue their 1 million streak (almost happened with KnP.. but man was I pessimistic)
More election places (I was spot on right with that XD)
Miyazawa Sae to come back to Team K or graduate (Nope, but something changed and she's a kennin in Team S now)

And now onto this years predictions:

AKB48

No bad incident or attack!

The Iwate Incident was a big shock, so I really hope something like this won't happen again!

Kojima Haruna to announce her graduation

Seriously, I'm including this in my predictions until she does it. xD But I do think she will at least announce it since Takamina will be leaving at the end of the year.

A lot of middle generation members to announce their graduations

That's a prediction, and I believe it will happen.

Takamina wins the election or get at least into Kami7

Okay, I'm not too sure this will happen. But I hope she will get into Kami7.

or Kashiwagi Yuki wins the election

If Takamina doesn't, I hope Yukirin does. Before sister group members take over everything (Jurina, Sayanee..), I really hope she will be able to center a song at least once. Come on Yukirin Wotas, you can do it!!

No big shuffle

This is a hope. Seriously, the shuffle just happened almost a year ago, I don't want a new one so soon.

Promotion for the anniversary everywhere

Show'em how special it is!

Some older graduated members to come back for a performance of AKB48's 10th anniversary

Because YESSSS, I want to see Oshima Mai and Co again with them!!

Not as much graduations in SKE as in the last two years

With Nishshi and Mieko's announcements I am not too sure this will happen. ._.

SKE48 release their second album

It's really about time for a second album!!



Hello Project

Morning Musume '15 to get a bit of a change style-wise

I like the current style, but with the new gen coming I guess they will change it. But I'm definetely looking forward to it!!

12 gen to be awesome

Because, yes!

Berryz to get the farewell they deserve

I wish for nothing more.

°C-ute to not disband

Because if  they do, I will be so sad. Berryz Koubou's hiatus is hard enough.

Angerme to not suck

Well, the name already sounds a bit strange, so I really hope they will do just fine.

Other groups

Momoiro Clover Z to release something big again

Their songs were okay, but I'm waiting for something spectacular again!! Let's see how the KISS thing will turn out..

Team Syachihoko continue to be adorable

I love them!

Babymetal to release something

Seriously, I want more songs!

More cross-overs between groups

I really love cross-overs between different groups, be it just pictures or a TV show. And I need more!! xD

This is a Japanese article about the Idol Boom（アイドルブーム ）in Japan and about the question if it will continue in 2015. I don't understand everything, but it was still interesting to read, as it was mostly about AKB48 and how they are completely taking over the charts and stuff. Other Idol groups like Momosu are mentioned too, and of course everyones new favourite Idol Hashimoto Kanna. I still don't know much about her, except that she's pretty cute.^^
About the Idol Boom, as an AKB48 fan myself I have to say that I have no problem with it. But of course I can understand if people are getting tired of them since they have been at the top for 5 years now. That's why I hope AKB (or any Idol group) will have a real big hit this year.
Idol groups are awesome!! :D

Now I will end this post with a bit Japanese:

明けましておめでとう。
今年もよろしくお願いします。

Hello 2014!!

2013 is over!!
Wow, this was one very fast year and I did sooo many things.. I'm now finally in my last year of school, I got my drivers licence, wrote important exams and had a big project in school. There were also some sad things, most importantly my grandmother to get very ill! This saddened me a lot, and I don't even want to think about her future death that will happen soon.. :'(
This and the fact that school is very important to me right now are the reasons why I don't have that much time for my blog. But last year I reached quite a few things. I have more than 10,000 views on my blog and 1/10 is only from my ''I got a boy'' post. In total I have now almost 150 posts and the most important thing is that I still have fun writing things!

But now it is 2014, a new year has begun. This also means new chances to do things, but also new challenges that we have to accept. In my case it's the big end exams and also the end of school that will probably followed by university. I really want to study Japanese, so I hope I will be accepted at an university. (yep, that's my big dream)
But enough about me, let's talk about music and my hopes for that.

Super Junior to release an awesome KOREAN album and title song

Because, as happy I am that Heechul is back, I want them to release something awesome in Korea again!! Their albums are always so good and I really hope 2014 will be their year again!!

More SuJu members to go to the army

I guess Sungmin will be the first to go next, but somehow I have a feeling that a few more could go. Well, let's just hope that EunHae will go together, ne? ;)

Big Bang to release some stuff together again

Big Bang should really do something together again. How about a new album? Or just a single, I don't care. But I want a song and music video with ALL of them.. Come on, it has been SO long since Monster.. -.-

I get into Kpop a bit more again

Oh right, my hope last year was that I won't forget about it and I didn't do that! But I did care less about it and I don't even follow the groups a lot anymore (except for SuJu, but even that's a lot less now..).

H!P to continue their double A-sides

You know, I really think this is a great idea. Okay, they should stop it sometime, but now it gives us two song + videos and them more sales, so why not?? xD

Morning Musume ´14 to continue their Oricon 1st streak and be seen as a top group again

Okay, so I really, REALLY hope this gets true. Like, I don't even care that much about their sales, but i really want them to be recognized again!

Morning Musume ´14 to get invited to Kouhaku

And this is even a bigger hope, but I really hope Momosu will be seen big enough to participate this year!!!!!

C-ute to sell more than 100,000 copies of a single

Okay, perhaps this seems impossible, but since they sell more than 60,000 already it doesn't seem that far away, right? I just hope they will improve their sales even more!!

Berryz to get more PV and song budget

That actually says everything. I just hope they get a better treatment and promotion next year!

AKB48 to release more interesting songs

Okay, because honestly, even though I like the majority of songs from this year, it wasn't that original for them. SKE48 and NMB48 actually had even better songs than their mother group so it's quite sad.. SO please Aki-p, give AKB48 some more of your creativity!

Kojima Haruna to graduate/ announce her graduation 

This isn't actually a hope, it's just a guess. She already heinted it and now with Yuko announcing hers I don't think she will wait any longer.. It will be sad to see all of the older members going but I don't ahve any doubt for Nyan's carreer!!

AKB48 to not continue their first week million streak

Because of the reasons mentioned above I actually really think it will end. Which doesn't mean they won't sell a million, I just think it won't be reached in a week.. xP But who knows which strageties Aki-p has left..

More Election places

Okay, so since there are even more girls especially with the newer generations, I really hope there will be more election places. I won't be so hard to make a fourth group from place 65 to 80, right? This will allow even more members to be actually ranked..

Miyazawa Sae to come back to Team K or to graduate

I rather want the first one to come true (How about an announcement at the Olympic Stadium?) so that she can participate in AKB48 events again. Buta ctually, she will turn 24 this year, so I don't think she will stay that much longer in an Idol group. (she seems to have fun with her Musical rehearsels) But since she is still a very popular member and loves AKB48, I don't think she will quit suddenly. (I hope..)

So yeah, this have been my wishes for this year!!
