Tonight the weather is ヽ｀、ヽ｀ヽ(*￣o￣*)>ヽ｀、ヽ！！！

Spending Thanksgiving with family♥.

So much rain~!  !  !  Tonight my internet connection has been bad….still is so much (;´□｀)！

I wanted so much to post a new album to share but it’s not to be I think…(・_・)

Hopefully tomorrow things will be better…

…I wonder if weather can affect the internet? (・c_・;)？

I heard we’re having an upgrade here soon~! ＼(^o^)／☆

If my new modem doesn’t arrive in time….will I be offline for a few days….? (;´□｀)！！

I will miss minna~san♥ if that occurs (;_;)!

Today I learned more calligraphy~! ＾　＾

Maybe I will post that soon???

My writing’s not so good though……..but I think I’m improving~ (人∀`*)。

A~h the rain has stopped while I’ve been typing…..but still my internet is very limiting….(´⌒｀。)。。。

I hope~ I can post again much more tomorrow but……only if my internet improves~.

Hmm….maybe it’s a sign?

I talk too much~!!…(^q^)♥

An aunt didn’t approve of my attire though tonight~…(._.;)!!

A cousin said I was looking perfectly…….

…. s*****! (・д・`*)！！！He was kidding though…..

…or was he? (。ーωー。)笑

U~n I will change…….. ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

My bf♥ just *smiles*`….no peeking~! (。ーωー。)♪♪

Have a *wonderful* pre~Thanksgiving~! ＾　＾♥

~Why I so won’t be eating any pumpkin pie this year~!!!! (ノロ≦。)！！！

Okay,

…this actually is a bit early as Thanksgiving isn't quite here yet~ (人∀`*)。

It's just that….

..when something is this disturbing and the public's safety depends on it~….

…….*sharing* early is better than later ne~! っo(*´∀｀)o!

Hmm…well truth be told I'm not very fond of pretty much every dessert there is~ (*≧∀≦)☆★ ↓

So,

….what could be so important to *share* as Thanksgiving quickly approaches?…(・c_・;)？

This is~

……….a very seldom known thing~! (・д・`*)！！！

~How pumpkin pie is actually made…………………………………..

……………………………………….

..curious?

~Please scroll down a bit to see~ but be warned it's not very pretty~!!! (ノロ≦。)！！！

~Ito Yuna “Let it Go”…

Ito Yuna in "Let it Go"…♥

…Yunachan~ always so *gorgeous*! (*´∀｀*)

The styling of "Let it Go"~…美しい。。

Ito Yuna

Ito Yuna "Let it Go" first press release~…

From sweeping♥ballads…to powerful dance tracks~, Ito Yuna has so much variety in her already sizable arsenal….and now with "Let it Go" we're treated to a lovely folk/rock interpretation~ ＾　＾。

Accompanying her LE you'll find a most impressively produced DVD~!! Drop dead *gorgeous* music video♥ and a "Kira Kira Making!" clip~! ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ♥♥♥

Ito Yuna's "Let it Go" can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

Ito Yuna's "Let it Go" can be ordered here at YesAsia.

Ito Yuna's "Let it Go" can be ordered here at HMV Japan.

Ito♥Yuna in "Let it Go"…

01 Let it Go

Ito Yuna

This intro~ reminds me so much of R.E.M.! ＼(^o^)／☆ Both tracks allow for a bit of a "darker" texture to Yunachan's voice and hers is so perfect always~…range power highs~ lows falsetto vibrato control and deep moodiness~ which convey the lyrics so well~. Now hearing the karaoke track of "Let it Go"…this definitely sounds R.E.M. inspired so much~!!…like their bright and *happy* compositions~ a~h! mandolin?!

02 Happy Days

Ito Yuna

Ito Yuna "Let it Go" LE (cover scan)

Just above is the music video for "Let it Go"….click to play~ ＾　＾。

Yunachan just keeps becoming more and more *beautiful* each time we see her in a new release~ and "Let it Go" really put so much into lots of varying wardrobe styles….hairstyles (all so *pretty*!!) and on location as well as in studio sets~. So much of this could be a Vogue cover I think~!

I really wanted to share her "Kira Kira Making" of clip too~ (*´∀｀*) (it's just a bit further down ↓↓↓) as you'll see/hear fashion points throughout accompanying her very different wardrobe changes….a wonderful and in depth look into filming as well as a very very sweet♥ surprise at the conclusion of the clip~!! Her birthday♥ was celebrated on set!! and on this most special day for Yunachan~ I *hope* her wishes came true~ on the blow of her candles~ ＾　＾。

~Guardians4, PARTY TIME♪♪～, the art of ♥ making & giant smelly crackers~! (ノロ≦。)！

Guardians4 in "PARTY TIME"…

Guardians4 "PARTY TIME" (first press w/DVD & photo card)

November 18th saw the release of Guardians4~ already third single~! And while the title group remains intact some big changes have occurred within H!P's Egg unit Shugo Chara Egg!~ including two new members most likely brought on due to the emergence of "Smile/age" as both Fukuda Kanon and Maeda Yuuka have left the unit~ taking on the task of their new group. Shugo Chara Egg's 2nd generation adds Maeda Irori and Fukumura Mizuki who *mysteriously* looks or maybe just reminds me so much of Maeda Yuuka? ＾　＾ The "veteran" member is now Saho Akari with plans perhaps to make Shugo Chara Egg! a 4nin unit once again~? It's just *wonderful* to see H!P Eggs getting more and more involved in major releases and while these may not be title group releases….they provide a great way for the Eggs to ease their way into the spotlight for sure~!

"Guardians4 "PARTY TIME" releases can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

Guardians4 "PARTY TIME" releases can be ordered here at YesAsia.

Guardians4 "PARTY TIME" LE (inner back cover scan)

"PARTY TIME"'s LE includes a first press photo card (I'm guessing there may be individual member cards available?….mine's is a group photo ＾　＾) and additional DVD which focuses solely on jacket and photo shoots making of~. Guardians4 segment is just over 8 minutes while Shugo Chara Egg!'s photo session is just over 7 minutes as the DVD has them in separate chapters to choose from~.

01 PARTY TIME

Guardians4

"pa pa paya~pa pa pa pia?"….papaya~♥? "PARTY TIME" which serves as Shugo Chara's opening theme song~ is part modern disco….part thumping dance club and 100% boogie *wonderland~*! While it's definitely so much an engaging track~!….it may be that I still have Chocolove on the brain Σ(￣◇￣*)！but I think Shugo Chara Egg!'s coupling with track "Watashi no tamago" tickles me (^-^*) a bit more~! It's just that when it really comes down to my first love♥ of J-Pop it's really these purely written songs which capture me the most~…..uninfluenced by American or European or any other musical styles~ is "Watashi no tamago"….this one's purely Japanese♪♪～ driven o(*´∀｀)o゛。And while for the most part these are ensemble vocal stylings…don't H!P Egg's always sing so cutely~?!…so *well*~! ＾　＾

Guardians4 in "THE BIG CRACKER SCENE!!!"…

W~ai! the 'BIG CRACKER SCENE?!!' (・o・) It's a much over~sized version of those poppy thingies where you launch confetti~ by pulling on its string!…..

"BIG CRACKER" goes live~!!…

Big Crackerの匂いは？。。。

。。(ノロ≦。)！

……by Nakki's reaction I don't think the aftermath of the "BIG CRACKER" smelled too good!! (ノロ≦。)！

Guardians4 kara…"bye~bye" ＾　＾。

New member introductions~ and then lots and lots of photos taken~! (*´∀｀*)♥

Mizukichan takes over as Shugo Chara Egg!'s "Heart♥" member and she's so the perfectly *adorable* idol to fill Maeda Yuuka's place in this unit~.

The art of ~♥~ making…!

And you may have thought these segments were only about *cuteness*~? Educational too~ ＼(^o^)／☆ as we witness the *perfect* way to creating your hand heart♥ o(*´∀｀)o゛！Hmm…I guess being new in unit one must learn the ways of projecting ~♥~! ＾　＾

ハート♥！！。。。 ！！

。。メイキング。。

。。オブ～！

o(*´∀｀)o゛♥♥♥

かんぺきね～！

Shugo Chara Egg! kara.."Bye~bye!"

Today’s arrivals~…

Cdjapan order…

Today I was greeted~ by quite an accumulation (・o・) of releases as sometimes you find yourself either adding to or combining several different orders together~…..the result is above and there are truly~ so many releases that I've been so waiting for~! ＾　＾

Hirano♥Aya's second album release "Speed Star" is a LE w/ DVD and special slip case packaging…."Speed Star" pv included~! A~h and at long last I'll be able to watch Momusu's pv DVD single for their original version pv as well as a "Green Dance Ver." which sounds a bit odd? (・c_・;)？Guardians4's 3rd single's first pressing includes a 15 minute DVD which includes both their jacket making of footage as well as Shugo Chara Egg!'s artist photo making of~…interestingly the coupling with song is an entirely different track from the title track and this version is exclusive to Shugo Chara Egg!~. Ito Yuna's new single also *happily* includes a DVD with its first pressing~ and promises the video clip for "Let it Go" in addition to a "*sparkling* making of." Her cover photo is so gorgeous!!! (*´∀｀*) Yuna always so *beautiful*~!! Also here is C-ute's first best of album compilation in a first pressing which includes jacket making and interviews on the extra DVD which has an impressive running time of 68 minutes!! I suffered very forgetful moment (ノロ≦。)！when I pre-ordered Hangry & Angry's "Sadistic Dance" album~ where after ordering their standard release I then totally forgot to remove it when I realized there was going to be another "lunch box" edition which I so so wanted~…the result? I now have an extra copy of "Sadistic Dance" in RE….(._.;)! どうしよう？

One nice result of having these all delivered together~ is that Berryz Koubou's new double A-side release has arrived at the same time as their pv DVD single which are typically released anywhere from 1~3 weeks after their single releases~. "Chample1~ Happy Marraige song cover shuu~" included some most favorite♥ songs including Puri Puri's beloved "Diamonds" so I'm so looking forward to watching Hello! Project's Summer "Hello Chample" concert DVD~!! Just checked…performance #29 is "Diamonds!!" ＼(^o^)／☆ W~ah! Nacchi's new concert DVD for her Summer tour includes two DVDs~!…for 199 minutes total!! Disc 2 looks to be all extras including her tour's behind the scenes and making…..and there's even her opening act~ being given DVD time on this release~ ＾　＾。So *happy* to see Nacchi's performing my most favorite♥ "Sora LIFE GOES ON" during her encore~ (*´∀｀*)。

Sa~ last but definitely not least!!! is Mr.Children's new concert DVD!!!! "Shuumatsu no confidence songs"…I can't even begin to express my euphoria♥ with its arrival~ ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ。。！！"HANABI"…"Esora".."Innocent World"…it goes on….and I will be glued to the screen for 156 minutes of Mr.Children♥ *happiness*~! Bliss~♥! and there is truly~ only one *feeling* that's better or equal to Mr.Children♥。。。。。(。ーωー。)♪♪
