Labrador Retriever + Matsui Jurina video

My AKB48 ''Labrador Retriever'' (Type K) single finally arrived! Here are a few photos of it:

Cover: Yokoyama Yui, Iriyama Anna, Matsui Jurina, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kawaei Rina and Suda Akari

The cover is beautiful and I'm happy these non-bikini covers exist. All of the members look so pretty!

Matsui Jurina (*-*) and Yokoyama Yui

Kashiwagi Yuki, Kawaei Rina, Suda Akari and Oota Aika

Kitahara Rie, Iriyama Anna and Yabushita Shu

I actually really, really like the booklet since the photos of the members are so simple and they all look awesome. I'm also happy that this edition features members I really like, especially Jurina (well, she and Team K were the reasons I bought this edition actually). Adding to that, it's nice to have Annin and Ricchan.. :)

The CD design is okay. Pretty normal I would say..

Kodama Haruka, Furuhata Nao, Miyawaki Sakura, Owada Nana, Kato Rena, Yagura Fuuko and Ichikawa Miori

Back cover feautures 7 girls of the new gen, which is also nice. Sakura looks so cute and there's also our little lemon, but I like everyone on this cover! Yeay!!^^

The other girls of the line-up are of course on the other couvers.. ;)

I would say my photos are very good. The bonus photo of Paruru and Sayanee is simply awesome!! They both look really good and I really like Sayanee's bikini. I like Milky and she's cute but I don't really like her hair extentions.. But yeah, she's cool so that's okay and I got someone of the 16 main people.. *yeay*

I will talk about the songs soon! ^-^

Now something about the election:

Of course I voted for Jurina! Sadly I can't vote for Sae-chan ( -.-), but at least I could support my Kamioshi. Jurina placed 3rd in the prelim results and I really hope she stays there or even goes up! Aiming for 1st place is perhaps a bit too much, but I think by next year she has a real chance for that.  But I also hope Sae-chan stays in Senbatsu and climbs a few spots!!! Kami7 would be sooooo cool!!

But again about Jurina: I really love her and since she is soo freaking awesome in music videos (Itoshiki Rival showed that once again), I decided to make an epic video with her scenes in AKB48 and SKE48's music videos. (mostly the cool/ dark ones).

Well, it's not a perfect video, but I tried my best. It's only Windows Movie Maker, because I don't have any professional editing program. Actually, it's so exhausting to work with WMM, but I somehow managed to get a result! xD

So, be prepared for the awesomeness of Matsui Jurina!!!! :D

PS: Kissing monster strikes yet again!!!

Regarding the attack on AKB48 Team A's Kawaei Rina and Iriyama Anna

So I guess every AKB48 fan or Japanese Idol fan in general already heard about it, but a 24-year-old man attacked Kawaei Rina, Iriyama Anna and a staff member with a little saw on an AKB48 Handshake event. AKB48's Theater manager Yuasa Hiroshi now explained the conditions of the hospitalized people:

Kawaei fractured her thumb of the right hand, and got slashed on her right arm. Iriyama also fractured her pinky finger of the right hand, and got slashed on her head area and right arm. Both of them received surgeries to join the edges of the wounds.The theater manager also revealed that those two are able to have clear conversation, and they looked calm right before the surgeries.Along with the two members, there was a male staff member who also got injured, but none of them are life-threatening.

Now, I don't really know how I should put into words what I'm feeling right now. It's mostly shock about the incident and fear for the health of the girls, mostly their psychological health. It's also anger at the criminal and no comprehension at all. I mean, how can you go out and hurt two young girls who didn't do anything wrong? They do everything for their fans to be happy, they sacrifice their ordinary life so how can you just go and attack them? First Sasshi's death treat and now this, I seriously believe that some members' antis are really hardcore. But in 8 years something like this never happened before. What is happening now? Is it because of Sousenkyo? I just don't understand it at all.. What will the members think? They seem to be in shock and I can understand that really good! Not only Annin and Ricchan, who are still in hospital, but also the other members who saw the attack and the blood.

And let's not forget about the staff member, who also got injured. If not for him, what would have happened to AnRi? I don't want to think about it, but after all, the attacker was accused of wanting to kill them. He probably would have succeeded if not for the staff member, so I'm relieved the staff is really caring for the girls. I wonder how future AKB48 events will go on though.. It will probably be a lot harder to meet the ''Idols-you-can-meet'' now, thanks to this guy. I hope management does everything for the girls' safety and that there will me more security checks in the future at handshake events. Also, I'm sure the girls will feel a lot more insecure now. They might have a trauma or something, which will make it really hard for them to ever participate in events again. I don't doubt that some are thinking about graduation. Rina is 19 and Anna is 18, which is pretty young, but there are even younger girls, who are only like 12 and whose parents probably have a lot of fear for their girls now.

And how will this incident effect the Idol world in general? And the fans? If a Mayu-kick causes anger over several Idol fandoms, imagine what this one will do.. Any fandom would hate to see something like this happening to their Oshi, be it a Momosu, Momoiro Clover Z or an AKB48 fan. After all, they are all Idols and they all entertain us.

Of course, there may be girls we don't like, but that's no reason to send them hate comments or to attack them! At the end of the day they are all just young girls who perhaps got a better push than others or just looked a bit bored (-> Paruru). Isn't this 'real'. Don't you want to see your Oshi's real reaction? But if you don't like her, of course that's fine. Just please don't hurt her!

Let's hope that Rina and Anna will recover soon and that they will show their smiles again. I will support them, even if they decide to graduate or not. Let's also hope that the other members are doing fine. I hope they will soon update their g+ and twitter accounts, so that we can see how they are.

Vegetable juice advertisement - Team Syachihoko

Team Syachihoko recently starred in an advertisement for Kagome (vegetable juice?) and recorded a song that is called ''Yasai Seikatsu Taisou'' for this.

And honestly, I'm very happy they did it because the song is just so freaking catchy and cute. And IMO, it's wayyyy better than Ii kurashi, their new single. Oh, and I don't know why, but it's cool that Japanese often have so interesting advertising songs. Like, the whole song is about vegetables but it's still so cute. Seems like it helps to promote vegetables through cute songs like this. xD Back to the song, I wonder why Honoka (red) always speaks in their songs. Here she introduces the vegetable juice, but in Team Syachihoko latest singles she always had a talking part, too.. Seems like she is the ace, and she has that typical cute Japanese voice so yeah... xD And as you can see, I learned the names, lol!!! :P

But let's see what happens in the music video for this song:

A typical Japanese family eating breakfast. And yeah, they seem to only eat vegetables and drink vegetable juice.. Such a healthy family.. xD

Aww, Honoka is still sleeping. Is she part of the family? She has a mushroom pillow?? Ok..

Kagome advertising. There's even a tomato in the background!! :'D

Honoka: This vegetable juice is so healthy, please try it too!!
Of course, everyone wakes up and promotes juice xD
And aren't her ears just cute?? *-*

Yuzu: We all love vegetables!!
Uhm, are you drunk?? (she does look a bit drunk, doesn't she?)
Oh and there are flying vegetabless!! :D And she has a kagome juice on her had!! In her colour!

Ok, seems like everyone has one in their colour, together with the training suit..
Chiyuri looks like a troll here!
Chiyuri: I will eat ALL the vegetables! Muahahaha..

Haruna: No, you won't! I will fight back!!
Aww, isn't she awesome?? :D

Weirdo, are you drunk, too??
Nao: *hick* NOOOOOOOOOO!

Yuzuki: Everything is under fine. They are under my control.
Puh, at least someone who is responsible!!

WTF? Yuzuki?? What are you doing? I thought you were mature?? xD

Is Yuzu also in the house?
Haha, she looks funny doing a wink.
Yuzu: I'm cute!!

Team Syachihoko invasion!!

And Yuzuki is still rolling around.. *sigh*

Cutiepie #1

Cutiepie #2

Cutiepie #3

Yuzuki: Hi there! ;)
YUZUKI?? Are you trying to be sexy or funny?? xD

And here is the family, still not knowing about the Syachihoko invasion.. Poor family.

Nao: Haaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Ehe..
Boy: Huh? Who are you?

Yuzu & Nao: We want to advertise Kagome!!
Boy: Ah.. Ok, fine. I approve. I love vegetables!

Well, the boy seems to be VERY happy..

Yuzuki: Why aren't you eating vegetables right now?
Boy: Huh?

Motionless grandma is motionless.

Oh and did I mention motionless?
Honoka: Well, she will eat vegetables, too!
Yuzu & Yuzuki: VEGETABLES!

Honoka: I have the power to make everyone to like vegetables!

Vegetable mission continues.
Dad: Oh, who are you?
Haruna: A little kid who advertises for Kagome.

Dad: Well then.. Welcome to our house.
I don't know if  would be happy if 6 little girls would break into my house only singing about vegetables..
Anyways, Haruna is freaking cute!

The mother seems to be pretty tiny.
Chiyuri: Are you preparing enough vegetables?

Mom: Of course, we love vegetables.
Chiyuri: That's gooood!

Oh! So now they start dancing in the house.. Or rather, they start jumping. Chiyori looks very happy xD

Dancuuuuu. I think it's cool that they don't always wear any typical Idol clothes in their videos.

Yuzuki: Yeah, we are cool and sporty!

Haruna: We are the best!

Honoka: Etto....

Nao: Uwaaaaaaah... *party hard*
You sure that you aren't drunk?

Wah, the dance looks so funny.. And Chiyuri really seems to enjyo it the most. Honoka looks a bit lame next to her..

Yuzu: *hick* Look at my amazing dance moves!

Chiyuri: Chill down Yuzu. You're drunk..

Chiyuri: Dancing is so much fun!!

Yuzu: So many.. *hick*.. vitamines!!
Here she looks like a hamster. XD
Boy: WTH? I won't eat that. You're creepy.

Nao: Everything okay, I'm sober again. Now Yuzu is the only problem.

Yuzu: Problem?????
Dad: Ooooh, a tomato! Never seen this before.

Chiyuri: Everyone is crazy..

Finally someone who is normal. Right, Haruna.

Haruna: Of course!
Whut? Two Harunas??? Did she take the special effects from Ai no Chikyuusai?

Yuzuki: Grandma, you should also eat vegetables.

Grandma: ...
Why is she walking away?

She's going upstairs?

Yuzu: Kyaaaaa.. That's creepy.

Lol, the boy looks so proud here xD
And is Yuzuki the tallest member?

Mom is also dancing.

Is the grandma getting a vegetable?

Dad also has fun dancing.
Dad: Yeah, I'm so cool!
Yuzu: You aren't even dancing right!!

Chiyuri: You're right, Yuzu!

Aw, Haruna in TV!

Looking at the details here, there's a Syachihoko fish on the right!

Yuzu: 10 points for you!

And here's Honoka advertising Kagome again. Well, the whole song is an advertisment so yeah..
And the grandma got a carrot.. xD

Nao: Please don't let this end..

Eh, Chiyuri?

Lol, that looks so funny.. xD

And of course she has fun again..

Now THAT's really creepy, Yuzu. Stop being creepy and drunk.. xP

So they are outside dancing with the family?

Aw, grandma gives Honoka the carrot! So nice

Let's jump!!
And grandma just sits on the right.. Motionless again.

It seems like Chiyuri and Haruna are the best dancers. Well, at least they are the most enthusiastic..

Aw, she's adorable!

Nao: Kyahaaa. A camera!

Haruna: Eh, guys. Are we only putting vegetables in there?
Yuzuki: Yep, it's Kagome juice!
Honoka: No alcohol for you, you are the youngest!

Nao: Muahaha, ALCOHOL.
Yuzu: Uh, yeay..
Chiyuri: You sure about that? 

Haruna: Ah, this looks delicious!!!
Yuzumi: Aaaand it's healthy!!

Funny dance move again. Here they look a bit like the teletubbies!! xD

Yuzu & Nao: Yossh!
Chiyuri: Ohohooo, looks better than I thought! And I'm holding their hands!!

Haruna: Chu~ <3

Chiyuri: Vegetable juice is so delicous!!

Team Syachihoko: Please try it, too!!
We will.. Bye, bye ;)

Hehe, what a funny video. Of course these little kids aren't drunk or anything. I just think that Yuzu and Nao always look a bit funny (especially Yuzu!!). The advertising was of course VERY obvious, but I thought it was cute how the members promoted the juice to the family (that wasn't worried about the girls breaking in their house). Of course everyone looked cute, especially Haruna, who is just adorable. Chiyori always seems to have the most fun, which is awesome to look at. Seriously, her smile is so nice and her dance moves are so energetic! Just look at the last picture, and it clearly seems as if Haruna and Chiyori have the most fun. Honoka lacks a bit the energy but she still looks as if she has fun. And Yuzuki isn't as mature as I thought. lol xD But she's also cool and I love how funny everyone is!

All in all I have to say that this is a very funny song with an interesting video! I didn't have that much fun reviewing something lately! xD (but many songs I reviewed were serious so yeah..)
Also, I will soon be more active, beause my exams are almost over!! :D
But for now, bye, bye!!! ^-^
