Nogizaka46 - Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga iru Type A ~unboxing~

Today I will do an unboxing of Nogizaka46's newest Single Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga Iru Type A. Once again Nogizaka didn't disappoint and I just had to buy this one.


This is seriously one of the best Nogi covers ever. The double center of Nanase and Maiyan is perfect and they both look so pretty!


The two are also on the backside as well. I love Nogi's Nature themes :3


The Obi


Inside of the CD case


Here we have the CD...


...and the DVD. They look almost the same, but I like the simple look.


And this must be Nanase and Mai's hands


Let me fangirl a lot more over this beautiful cover!!!! <3



Lyrics of Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga iru


And next to it we have Maiyan. She is seriously too beautiful *-*


Manatsu looking funny.


And Hoshimina looks really cute!


All of the senbatsu members waiting for a train. This looks so much fun...


Wakatsukiiiiii!!! I really love her recent hairstyle *-*


Shitto no Kenri lyrics


And Popipappapaa lyrics


Pictures of a few Under members. Here we have Kawamura Mahiro, Sagara Iori and NAkamoto Himeka


And Nakada Kana and Watanabe Miria. Miria is such a cutie, so I'm really happy about her picture *-*


Crediiiits


Nachan and Maiyan once again on the backside.

This is as always a very beautiful Nogi design. I guess I like their design themost out of all the Idol groups I follow.


Aaaaaaand I've got Fukagawa Mai's photo. She is such an awesome person and since this is the first time she is in first row, I am even happier about this. *-*
Lately I've been really lucky! xD

I'm pretty happy about this tracklist. Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga Iru is a simply beautiful and uplifting song and the video is soooo good. I had to cry at the end. T.T
Shitto no Kenri is the Undergirls song and it is really nice to listen to. It is also a slower, a little bit melancholic song and the video is sooooo cute. It isn't included in this Type, but I like it a lot!!
Popipappapaa is a very cool and up-beat dance track. The title is a bit weird, but everything else about this song is perfect. And the video is so stylish and such a high quality *-*
I'm really happy that we're back with bonus videos for everyone seperately, since I love them a lot.
The highlights for me this time are definitely Ikuchan (she always has great videos), Rottii (so funny), Reika (she's so beautiful, OMG!!!) and Nanase (hilarious!!).

Soooo, I'm once again a very big fan of this Nogi release. They are doing such a great job and I'm so proud that they will finally be on the Kohaku Uta Gassen!! *-*

Fukuda Kanon's graduation

Today Fukuda Kanon graduated from Angerme at their First Concert Tour 2015 Aki ''Hyakka Ryouran'' Final in Budokan.


Kanon has been a part of Hello Project for more than 11 years and a part of S/mileage (Angerme) for 6 years. She is a 1st generation member, which means she has been in the group since the beginning until now. With her graduation only Wada Ayaka is left from the beginning and with the new member Kamikokuryo Moe, a new chapter will begin.

Kanon's graduation also led to a solo being released as an A-side for the first time in an Angerme single. Her graduation solo isn't only cute and catchy, what's even better, is that Kanon herself wrote the lyrics!! The lyrics are really lovely and even more personal because of her being the lyrics writer.


This leds to her future: Kanon wants to be a lyricist. I think that is a very interesting future dream. I can't think of a lot Idols who went on to write their own lyrics, Even less who wrote lyrics for OTHER artist. This makes me really excited to see her in a few years. Kanon is still very young with 20 years and I hope she will have succes in her life and be happy.




まろ、卒業おめでとう!

Okada Yukiko - Golden Idol ~unboxing~

Once again I haven't been posting anything, I'm really really sorry.

Lately, I've been totally into old Japanese music, especially the 70s and 80s. Showa Idols have a nice charm and I've been listening to Yamaguchi Momoe, Nakamori Akina, Candies, and co. the whole time.

The first Showa Idol I knew (and one of my favourites) is Okada Yukiko. I started to listen to her songs around 2012 and feel very attached to them. It is really a shame, that she killed herself at the very young age of 18. ._.

Since I love her songs so much, I bought her Golden Idol Best of album. It was released only this year and contains all of her singles and the B-sides. So let's take a look at this CD, which was released almost 30 years after her death:


Here we have the front cover, with the lovely Yukiko on it. The packaging is actually quite big. Not as big as a vinyl package, but bigger than a normal CD one.


Backside features the Tracklist.


The big Obi.


And there's actually something on the inside! Those are the 'Golden Idols' of Pony Canyon it seems.
I still don't know all of them though..


The cover again.


And this is what it looks like in the inside


A very big picture of Yukko. She looks so pretty *-*


And what's that?? You can take out the CD case like a vinyl!!


Tadaaaaa


And here we have the vinyl disc.. errrr the CD


Damn, this is so cool!


I'm in love with this <3


Now it's time for the lyric booklet.


Song list

 


 These are the cover pictures from her very first single 'First Date'. She was only 16 at that time.


Here we have the lyrics of First Date and its B-side Soyokaze wa Peppermint.

Little Princess and Koi no Doubles lyrics.


This is from her 3rd single -Dreaming Girl- Koi, Hajimemashite. Here she looks really, really cute :3 And I love this 80s hairstyle she has in her first three singles :D


-Dreaming Girl- Koi, Hajimemashite and Kimagure Teenage Love lyrics.


Pictures of her 4th single Futari dake no Ceremony.


Futari dake no Ceremony and Private Red.


Summer Beach!! Her 5th single is a Summer song, so her clothes a re a bit more revealing.


Summer Beach and Hoshi to Yoru to Koibitotachi lyrics.


With the release of her 6th single Kanashii Yokan (which is one of my favourite songs by her) she cut her hair short.


Lyrics of Kanashii Yokan and Koibitotachi no Calendar.


The seventh single Love Fair. Here she really looks more mature.


Love Fair and Futari no Blue Train lyrics.


Yukko's 8th single Kuchibiru Network, which is the last one released before her death. It is also her most famous single.
