AKB48 - Tsubasa wa iranai Type C regular ~unboxing~

Today I will do an unboxing of AKB48's Tsubasa was Iranai Type C regular single. Like every year this is the election single, with a voting ticket. That alone is a reason to but it. So let's see how the rest of it looks like. 


The CD looks really beautiful. Once again we don't have a Bikini single,  which is cool to see.  The cover looks really simple but I like it.
Mayu,  Jurina, Sayanee, Rena, Annin and Kitarie are on this cover and they all have beautiful clothes.


On the back cover are Miru, Mako, Katomina, Juri and Sayaya. It's nice to see all the members on spread on the different covers.


Obi. AKB's obis have been getting pretty boring. Only black and white for the last few singles..


Inside of the CD case.


CD..


..and DVD.. looking almost the same.


Here we can see part of Sayanees dress and her legs.


The cover again. It's really refreshing from all the colorful ones xD


Mayuyuuuu and lyrics of Tsubasa was Iranai.

Credits


And more credits, members etc


Aaaand Mayu's legs!



Shop Bonus Photo is of Sayanee and Haruppi in the Team K outfits. And then I've got Ryoha as my special Photo. I like her a lot and she matured so much so of course I am really happy!! :D 

Tracklist:
1. Tsubasa was Iranai
2. Aishuu no Trumpeter 
3. Yume he no Route
4. Tsubasa was Iranai (off vocal)
5. Aishuu no Trumpeter (off vocal)
6. Yume he no Route (off vocal)

DVD:
1. Tsubasa was Iranai Music Video
2. Aishuu no Trumpeter Music Video 
3. Yume he no Route Music Video

I quite like this tracklist. Tsubasa wa Iranai isn't their most creative song, but it is really soothing and uplifting. Team K's Aishuu was Trumpeter is a pretty exotic and sexy song. I do like it a lot! And Team 8's Yume he no Route is a cute and lovely song and nice to listen to.

All in all this is an interesting single. Not their best one, especially compared to other Summer singles, but it' s a good one!

Suzuki Kanon's graduation

This is my graduation post about Suzuki Kanon. On March 31st she graduated from Morning Musume '16 and Hello Project at Momusu's Tour Final in Budokan. It's really interesting how her and MeiMei's graduation are just a day apart.
Zukki has been a big part of Morning Musume for me and she is part of the time, I fell in love with this group so much! So let's recap her history in the group through their singles:

And that's it, Zukki will no longer be in any Momusu singles.
She was part of the 9th generation, that was added in 2011. At that time she was only 12 years old and the youngest of the group. From the very beginning her personality was really outstanding and funny. She maybe wasn't the most talented singing wise, but she improved a lot and I think she has a really nice voice. When she got a bit older, she also started to get a bit bigger than the standard very skinny Japanese Idol. Because of that she got made a lot of fun of.. but eventually this started to be her character and she felt more comfortable with herself. I respect her a lot for staying confident, even though it must have been really really hard! She was really blooming last year, also having her first center position (together with Duu) in Oh My Wish. I was a bit surprised at her graduation announcement, and I am sad to see her go. But I'm really happy that she stayed for such a long time despite the difficulties and everything. She's such a beautiful and kind girl and I hope her dreams will come true. Let's hope she will never lose her smile and that she can make everyone happy with it!!

Zukki, I will miss you!!
Good luck for the future!

The 400th post

Hello and welcome to this special post!!
Once again, time has been flying and you are reading my 400th post. This blog exists for 3 1/2 years now. Adding to that, 2 or 3 months ago I reached 100,000 views!! This is a really cool number, and it's nice to see that my posts are making some people around the world happy. Thank you all so much!! It always makes my day when I'm able to read a new comment and it's nice talking to some of you.

I'm always apologizing for not posting as much or fast as I'd like to do, but that's how life is going.. especially in University it gets really busy sometimes. But I'm still happy everytime I have enough time to write a review or anything else about Idols.

Regarding university, there is one thing I have to tell you: I got accepted at a Japanese university, which means I will be studying there for a year starting from september!!! ^o^
I'm really excited about that and I'm looking forward to live in Japan sooo much. I can have Japanese conversations with my Japanese friends, which is so cooool. Im still not as good in Japanese as I wish to be, but hopefully my Japan stay will help me a lot with some difficulties.
I don't know what will happen to this blog when I move to Japan. Of course, I still want to blog, but I might be pretty busy, especially in the beginning. But if I have time, I'd like to post a lot about Idols, Japan, travelling and food - all the things I like the most.
Oh, and hopefully I will finally be able to go to some actual Idol events. XD


That's me in Japan btw..
And with that I'm ending this post.
Keep smiling and be happy!! :3
