The CD. Oh, this time I actually let it be like it was haha xD But I really like the Pink colour!!

Pink Obi

And the cover again. Maybe the only time that everyone has short bangs (Sakura looks different, ne)

I really like this shot, they should have rather taken this as the cover. It's really a pity, that Duu couldn't participate in the dance shot :/

After a very long time I am finally going to review Morning Musume's Single ''Sexy Cat no Enzetsu/ Mukidashi de Mukiatte/ Sou janai''. In this post I will show you the Regular Edition A, a.k.a the Sexy Cat edition.

Because as you can see, this cover has the girls in their Sexy Cat outfits. I actually really, really like the outfits. The cat ones of Duu, Mizuki and Sakura but also the other outfits look really stylish.

Eripon on the Obi xD

Here we have the cover again. I think this is my favourite out of all the editions.

And all the members again. They all look so beautiful!

Lyrics

And here we have the CD, which looks cool!

Since I have two versions, here are my two Trading Cards. I GOT DUU FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER WAAAH. Like really, I never got a Duu card before, and to have it of her as a cat is the best thing ever!!

And I'm also really really happy about Miki. because she is such a precious girl.

Tracklist:

1. Sexy Cat no Enzetsu

2. Mukidashi de Mukiatte

3. Sou janai

4. Sexy Cat no Enzetsu (instrumental)

5. Mukidashi de Mukiatte (instrumental)

6. Sou janai (instrumental)

I like all the songs A LOT. This is my favourite single in like so long and I still love it so much. Sexy Cat no Enzetsu is sexy and mostly catchy while Mukidashi de Mukiatte is just really a cool dance song and I love the feeling of the song. Sou janai is also a great song and I personally really like the Maria Center *-* I can't even decide which song I like the most but maybe it's Sexy Cat, also because of the video!!

So yeah, I love this single, especially this Version is great and it was really nice to see it being released real time here in Japan!

Morning Musume 13th Generation

On Morning Msuusme 16's Tour Final at Budokan on December 12th, their new generation was announced. It consits of the two former Kenshuusei's Yokoyama Reina and Kaga Kaede.

When I first heard there would be a new generation I was kind of not that excited, because I rreally liked how much 12th gen was shining in the newest single. But slowly I got excited, like for all the changes in Momusu. It was also quite interesting that they only chose from the Kenshuusei's this time. I don't really know Reina because she is still quite new but she looks cute and funny. But wht's the best thing ever: FREAKING KAEDYY IS IN MORNING MUSUME. She is my favourite KKS member so of course I'm really excited for her in the group! She has been a trainee for such a long time and it's finally time for her to shine. :D I cried when I saw her crying, haha.

I can't wait for these two being active in the group. These 13nin performance must be great. Aaaaand I want them to release a single!!!!!!

Despite all the excitement and as much as I like change, there is one thing that I fear: Someone announcing their graduation! There have been so man graduations lately and especially Momusu had them almost every year. I really like this line-up and I want all of them to shine even more, so I hope no one will announce their graduation until end of 2017.. Let's hope! :3

Meeting Idols - IKUTA ERINA

I'm doing a lot in Japan: Studying, Karaoke, meeting friends and travelling.
But what's most interesting for this blog is Idols, right? Well, I can tell you that it is really really exciting to be in Japan if you like Idols. Especially the last few weeks so many of my favourite Idol Groups released new singles or albums: Nogizaka46, AKB48, Morning Musume, Keyakizaka46 and so many more. Especially those 4 had really really good singles and I actually ordered handshake tickets with the Nogi and AKB singles, and 2shot Tickets with the Momusu ones. Yes, I am going to see Jurina, Sasshi and more in January! That's really cool *-*
Adding to that I won two 2shot tickets with Kudo, I can't believe I am this lucky :')
One of the 2shot events was yesterday so as you can imagine, I died yesterday. But everything turned out to be different but let me tell you the whole story:

12/04 Morning Musume '16 Handshake/ Picture Event in Shibuya

I had one 2shot ticket with Kudo for this day. The day before I got home quite late, and I had to get up really early yesterday, so I was tired. But since I was so excited, I didn't mind that at all. My eyes were hurting, that was a bit worse but I could deal with it. I arrived in Shibuya around 10:30 and walked to the event place (Shibuya Belle Salle). That was really simple and there were signs in the building everywhere, which made everything easy. When I arrived at the B1 floor, where the event happened I saw quite a few fans standing there. I was really confused if I should already line up at the Uketsuke or if I had to wait, because my time slot was 11:20. So I stood a bit there and then I finally asked a security man. He looked at my ticket and told me: Kudo Haruka isn't here today because of poor health. (everything is in Japanese by the way)

MY IDOL IS ILL.
I was really, really shocked at first. Of course, this had to happen when I would have finally met here, haha. I then asked him what I should do now and he told me two options: Either take this ticket on another day and meet Kudo there or meet another member on the same day. Well, I then started to think on what to do. Even though she is my favourite Idol, I was already there at the event place and I like the other members as well. But still, I was thinking for a while until I finally decided to change to another member. I asked again what I should do if I want to change the member and was told to line up now. Seems like I had a good timing, since the line for my time slot was just being formed and I was almost right at the front, just like I was at the concert, haha. Different from the concert at this event there were quite a lot of men though. But I also saw some girls. :) Standing in the line I thought about who I am going to meet instead of Duu. My first favourite and still one of my favourites is Ikuta and I really, really like her a lot. But I also really like Oda-chan and Maachan would be also quite cool, especially since she is such a funny person. With Eripon and Sakura I wouldn't really know how they would react to a Gaijin. So I was thinking and then we had to show our tickets and Residence Card and got a stamp on the ticket. I asked if it's okay to meet anyone and was told I can. Then waiting again.

After a few minutes we could enter the main hall and line up at the member booths. Since I was so early and still didn't know who exactly I wanted to meet I stood there for a second and was really confused but then I went to Eripons booth........ AND WAS THE FIRST PERSON STANDING THERE. Damn, that was so weird. I had to leave my belongings on a table, they searched if I had metal things on me and then I gave the security guy at the entrance my ticket. And then I had to wait again.. The guy asked me if I have a pose in mind but I didn't know anything so I said no, haha. I knew it would be just peace sign, but I didn't mind, I was so excited. Behind me a long line formed and the guys behind me must've thought: What is that weird Gaijin girl doing?
I could actually hear the members talking, which was one of the best things of the whole event!! I could especially hear Eripon quite loud, because she was just behind the paper wall and she talked with Mizuki and was laughing so I felt a bit relieved, because I hoped she would be active and talk, haha. Oh and I could hear Maachen, she's such a cute child :')
The security guy was looking at my ticket most of the time and I thought he would either comment on the fact that it was originally Kudo's ticket or on my name or something. But he didn't say anything. I guess he was just bored xD So after what felt like a really long time, the slot finally started (there was an announcement). So, I could finally enter the booth.

And I saw Eripon!!!! OMG, she was really sitting there, I was in shock hahaha. I didn't really think about what to say, so I just said Konnichiwa! Eripon looked really, really cute and almost like a doll!! She grinned at me, but I don't remember if she said something. The camera guy told me to sit down and the security guy from before told them, that I don't have a special pose in mind. So Eripon looked at me and showed Peace. Haha, of course, I knew it. So we took the photo and then they said I should go out! IT WAS SO SHORT! I could barely look at her and say thank you and she also thanked me for coming. But then I had to go and I couldn't even tell her that she looked cute. Because she looked really, really cute. *sigh* I got my belongings and the picture and then I went away.. Too short, damn. And I was the first one so I really didn't know what to do, I should have let someone go before me. Well, at least she smiled at me and I could see her. Aaaand I got a picture with her:

Yeah, the picture is actually really cute. I do remember that I was quite surprised on how long her hair already was. I mean I knew she had longer hair now but it looked really nice. She looked really different from a year ago because of that. Eripon looks really cute in person but just like I thought she wasn't tooo excited. It is also my fault, because I was nervous and didn't know anything, but she also seemed a bit confused maybe? Or she isn't the best first member to meet, hahaha. But no, it wasn't as bad as it sounds, I actually felt quite at ease when I sat down and I had a lot of fun and she was nice and calming!!

But now that I know how it works, I'm really excited for my next events. And I will definitely say more to Kudo!! But Eripon is really, really cute and I don't regret my desicion to take a picture with her. :) After all she is one of the main reasons I got interested in the newer Momusu and was my first favourite member. And now she is the first Idol I ever met in person, so she is really, really special to me.

This day was really nice and I also did other fun things, like walking to Nogizaka Station and buying Keyakizaka's Futari Saison. As you can see, this day was filled with Idols. It's not like this everyday, but it's really nice to experience the Idol things. :3

I LOVE IDOLS!! ERIPON IS CUTE!!

My first Idol concert - Morning Musume '16 in Pacifico Yokohama

So on November 3rd I went to my very first Idol concert!! I've been waiting for this day for a long time and it finally happened. I went to Morning Musume'16's concert in Pacifico Yokohama, which was part of their Fall Tour 2016.

I got this ticket quite late, but I got it and that's soooosososo great!

Since I didn't want to risk it, I bought Kudo Haruka's concert T-shirt via the e-lineup (which is now called e-mall) shop online. I bought a penlight and planned my trip to Yokohama.
I actually spent quite a few hours in Yokohama on that day and went through the city. I arrived at Pacifico Yokohama around 14:00, so I had plenty of time until the concert would start (opening doors at 17:30 and concert start at 18:30). Soooo, I lined up for the goods. That actually took quite a long time, but I didn't have anything else to do, so it wa s interesting. But being the only foreigner was a bit weird :'D
Oh, I was actually surprised to see a lot of female fans, because I didn't expect that many!! But that was cool to see.. Still, I was too shy to talk to anyone.. ^^'

I just got myself some photos. Of course I had to get Kudo's picture pf the day and I always wanted to have a picture of everyone, so I bought the whole set :3 I randomly got Ayumi's photocard and Mizuki's hair pin, which is awesome.

So I ate, went around the location and waited for the concert.. It was interesting to see all the fans coming out after the first concert, and I lined up for my concert exactly after that, so I was quite in the front of the queue. Everything went really fast and I could enter and then I saw people handing out lightsticks with Harunans colour (yellow) because it was kind of her birthday special on that day. I thought that was really cute :3
I searched for my seat. Since I knew, I was quite in the second floor and in the back, I wasn't surprised. But actually, I could see everything, which was great!!! Yeah, the view was okay. :D

So I was waiting for the concert to begin, tried to turn on my penlight etc.. They showed some Hello Project Singles promotions, which was really exciting. Everyone slowly turned on their penlights and when the concert began, it went crazy. (I was surrounded by Eripon and Duu fans by the way xD)
In Japan, you always have seats, but everyone still stands up, which is soo great!! The atmosphere was amazing and I enjoyed every bit of the concert!!

The whole My Vision theme, starting with the members talking was a reaaaally nice. The costumes are perfect and I love that song! It doesn't showcase the members individually thaaat great, but its an awesome opneing song. Ayumin, Ikuta and Duu's dancing was really good, I was a bit surprised.

I have to say, I LOVED every song they played that night. But actually, they didn't play that many old songs, which did surprise me. But it's nice to see this NEW Morning Musume, so I can't complain. And I love their newer songs.

When they played ther next few songs Tokyo to iu Katasumi, Brainstorming and Tsuyoki e Ikouze, everyone was really into it and the fans were soo excited. I was really excited!!
They performed Sexy cat no Enzetsu, which is great live and I'm such a big fan of that new song. Iroppoi Jiretai with Duu and Maria as the speakers was also cool. They did some sexy songs!!

12th gen was really shining with I'm Lucky Girl, and I started to appreachiate them even more in general with this concert! The medley was a lot of fun, I liked the solos of Ayumi, Eripon and Mizuki. Harunan also sang KoING, and surprisingly her voice was super awesome! I especially liked that everyone turned their colours into the member colour of the member singing and so did I. But except for that I was mostly orange, haha. Well..

Take off is now with Duu, Maachan and Oda was one of the best things EVERRRR!! They were so great and I love them lot. One of the best songs to hype up the audience was definitely Dokkan Capprichino. It was SO MUCH FUN. Just like What is LOVE, that one was amazing as well xD I was also really happy that they sang Watashi wa Watashi nanda, because it's an album song and maybe not that famous? But the best song was Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke!! I still love this song to death and it was and still is so special to them. Adding to that it's amazing at concert, and I know the dance so it's really cool. The second most amazing song was Saturday Night, because everyone got so excited and the memebrs had so much fun *-*

The encore was a Harunan call, and everyone had yellow lightsticks up! That was quite cool and she must've been happy about that :3

They also performed Sou janai, which is a Maria center and she was simply shining so much. And her wink in the end, she really got me with that!! <3
The last MC was sad and funny at the same time. Maachan was funny, Duu was so cute and told everyone to take care on the way back home, in the end Sakura held a lovely speech about being in Morning Musume and the importance of fans (I guess because she has been a member for 4 years now?)
Ending the concert with One Two Three was also a good choice. I love that song!!

This was such a great concert, and even though I couldn't see them that close, I had the best time of my life. I guess I like them even more now. Simply EVERYONE was shining so much and they had so much fun. Momusu's performance is really really great and you could see that they were giving their best. Especially Duu was so so so so so cute and I loved her voice and her performances!! Mizuki, Sakura and Maachan were soo great as well, especially Maachan's charisma is just wow. And the gap to her MC's, haha. Ishida was also pretty good and her solo fitted her really well! Ikuta's solo was ok, but her singing is still not thaat good from time to time.. Or not the best song choice, haha. But she is seriously the funniest, together with Harunan!! Out of 12th gen, Miki is definitely the one with the most talent but all of them are trying so hard and I love them even more now. Maria is always so genki, Akane's DJ part in Saturday Night was great and Haachin is so cute!

With Kanon and Riho's graduations, it finally feels like a totally different Morning Musume again! Adding to that, their new songs are really good and have a kind of different feeling to them if you know what I mean?

Yeah, I had sooo much fun and I'm so happy I saw them live! I can't wait to go to more concerts and events. I love this group so much and this day will always be special for me! :3

And I love Yokohama xD

Zukki's goodbye with Utakata Saturday Night

Today I will talk about Morning Msuume '16's Utakata Saturday Night which is part of their triple A-side single Utakata Saturday Night/ The Vision/ Tokyo to iu Katasumi.

So, I am finally able to talk about this. Out of the three songs, I like this one the most. Though I have to say that I like all of the songs quite equally this time. The Vision really grew on my and Tokyo to iu Katasumi has been cool from the very beginning.

Utakata Saturday Night is Zukkis graduation song. I wouldn't call her center, but she is pretty special in this song. Since this is her last song, it's also very special to me!!

But it isn't a sad song, no. Thank goodness it's a happy song, which fits Zukki's personality very good. Utakata Saturday Night has a really nice disco feeling and reminds a looot of the older Momusu songs. It has a really catchy chorus, interesting instrumentals and a nice talking line of Zukki near the end. it's really funny and shows again how lovely she is!! But she does say that the song will end soon, so it also gives a kinda sad feeling.. the song will end and so will her career with Momusu. In the verses are some 'sexy' parts, which is also interesting!!

So now onto the video:

STarting with the title and a hand.. Is it Zukki's?

DJ KANOOOON!! Wow, so happy to see the video starting with Zukki

And then we can see Eripon. interestingly, in the background we can also see her motions a bit later.. looks really cool!

Any yeayy, cutie Harunan :3

Sakura is enjoying this video!
They all have interesting hair pieces. Sakura's looks like a bird XD

Sekushiiii Daaishi

Even though they look a bit old-fashioned, I quite like these outfits!! They also remind me of the Momusu from the early 2000's.

Final dancing

THE END

Wow, that was such a fun video. Zukki was really smiling and enjoying her last video and song soooo much. She is adorable and I already miss her so much... But life goes on. And I'm really happy to see such a positive graduation song for her. The other members are also enjoying it and especially Maria is so energetic here. The outfits and the dance are cool and I love everything.
Momusu is a great group, and I'm happy to see this song having quite a big succes, The Riho loss was really hard, but it shows that Morning Musume will live on, despite any hardships..

So that's it for now, until next time!!
