With girl power* & adrenaline Hirano♥Aya ＊sparkles＊in more character songs♪♪～ for Haruhi

Hirano♥Aya

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya New Character Song vol.1 (cover scan)

If you're feeling a bit of a lull in your day~ then these two new songs♪♪～ from the beloved "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" anime series are sure to energize and invigorate~!

If you've been watching along then you're sure to recognize that oh so distinctly sassy but sweet~♥ rendition that the most adorable Hirano♥Aya instills into her character Haruhi! as it carries over into the two offerings presented on "Haruhi Suzumiya new character songs Vol. 1!" And you just know that these songs are going to really kick~ in concert..well I'm hoping that she'll perform them live soon~ as her debut concert release was so so mesmerizing~! ………(゜∀゜)………。Hirano♥Aya has an uncanny ability to sound as *cute* as a button♥ (I've heard they're cute♥ by maybe I've been misled? (。ーωー。)。。。) an in an instant she can power-off vocals with the best of them~! ＼(^o^)／☆

Both "Punkish regular" and "sono hikuu wa kitto aoi" feature complete lyrics written by the multi multi talented seiyuu, actress, singer, idol herself♥ as has been the case with with much of Hirano♥Aya's latter releases~. Both songs will hit you like a ton of bricks!! っo(*´∀｀)o!。。。with their deeply infused rock~n~roll♪～ adrenalineヽ(。´▽`。)ノ。。！！As these are "character" songs I'm not quite sure how they're being incorporated into the anime itself now in its second season♥….but whether they're alternate opening/ending themes, interludes, or used in singular scenes~ I've already fallen♥ for them completely…..hm then again these could be completely "imaginary" songs ne~…like as in being strictly "character songs" with no actual connection to the anime~…(^q^)!

In any case…..please enjoy♪♪～ the rush~~~! as surely we all need to let loose with a bit of pent up aggression now and then ne~? (*≧m≦)！！！

"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya New Character Songs Vol.1" can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

If you'd like to hear/see more of Hirano♥Aya…koko ni click~! (please note that Hirano♥Aya's "main" post is at the very beginning of or bottom of this link's results~ and I apologize so much for the YouTube clips now being gone~ but all of the VOX video clips are still available to watch~) ＾　＾

Late night Nocchi♥ rant~…

Nocchi♥

"Nocchi" T.V.!

Well it's not actually late here…only just before 9 pm (。ーωー。) 。。。but seeing a Nocchi clip at Craig'z has got me once again wondering why oh why if you were in management at UFI would you ever decide to let go of one of the most most cutest and most most *adorable* idols in the world who's such a natural (ノロ≦。)！True she may still be under their agency but she's been graduated from H!P which is well (;´□｀)！！！

It's just wonderful to see her being active now but had H!P chosen to keep her~ well imagine the possibilities…..

Momusu is losing Kohachan♥ (;´□｀)！but no need for another audition when you'd still have had um Nocchi♥~! C-ute is losing two members this year (;´□｀)！but with a quick Nocchi♥ remedy all would be right with the world again~ ＼(^o^)／☆。Manoeri♥ is the girl next door idol perfection* and so could have been Nocchi♥~! New shuffle groups roaming loose in Tsunku's head….think Nocchi♥! (￣▽￣)！World hunger…Nocchi♥~! World *peace*…Nocchi♥~! Okay I will stop now…(._.;).

(back of Nocchi’s♥ head…)

….even the back of Nocchi's♥ head is *adorable* そうでしょうね。。(。ーωー。)！！

So *happy* that Nocchi's still working on projects that she once did with other H!P members so that's really great! She's also debuted as a seiyuu (voice actress! (^o^)/!!) and this clip♥ ↓↓↓ this clip♥ that Craig found…I hope it's okay that I'm linking it here but it's so so so so so *adorable*!!! I think really beyond words….so I shall shut up now….really…….okay no more speaking….just watch okay I'll be quiet now。。。(*´艸`)。

Still undecided on a Hello! Project calendar for 2010?…this may help. ＾ ＾

2010 H!P calendars kita~nda!

Please click~* here to visit Vizu poll.

One most notable change to this year’s designs are that the familiar metal clasp that was used to keep all of the calendar’s pages binded together atop has now been replaced by a much wider cardboard~. What this means is that if you had been like I have…folding each month over without removing them in an attempt to preserve these calendars, the larger cardboard top will cause each month to crease much lower down into each page which isn’t very good so perhaps now removing them completely after each month expires may be for the best~. What’s nice now though is that in removing each month the task is much much easier as they’re clearly perforated atop right aside of the cardboard tops. =) ….so no more trying to cut them across with a razor which will make anyone nervous I think~!

In replacing 2009’s calendars at the end of the year I’m still finding that I have 4 areas available to display these full sized wall calendars……so it encouraged me to once again not hold back in getting each of H!P’s 3 main group’s calendars for 2010 (*´∀｀*)！I was also most tempted to purchase Manoeri’s but in the end I decided on getting Hirano♥Aya’s instead~＾　＾。Most of this years calendars range in price from 2200 yen ~ 2500 yen.

2010 Japanese calendars can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

Please return to the top to vote for your favorite design for 2010~…..

Berryz Koubou 2010 calendar~

Berryz Koubou’s theme for 2010 is shigoto….or careers I should say?…work~. =) From a moving company, fast food, flower shop, beauty & salon, record shop♥ to bakery~ the members are grouped into pairings of two or three per calendar page but what I always seem to find to be the best shots are the ones which include the entire group together and besides this year’s cover, the final extra page which isn’t marked by a month is once again the prettiest I think to display~ o(*´∀｀)o゛！It’s quite a change from last years too in that 2010 for BK really has gone cartoonish in a way rather than showing them in the ambiance of the outdoors~.

C-ute 2010 calendar~

C-ute’s 2010 theme is sports~ and I really love that UFI made the effort to present the members in those atmospheres rather than color in backgrounds which I’m sure is most likely less costly to their budgets but there’s definitely a much warmer feel with truer images~. The themes include everything from skiing to lacrosse to karate to volleyball to baseball to ballet~ and you have to love each member’s outfits as they’re so so *cute* (*´∀｀*)！！I am saddened to see that Ume wasn’t part of this calendar but with her graduation coming this year it’s totally understandable….still it may take me awhile to get used to 5nin C-ute♥~! They’re all looking so grown up here too….*kawaii*~! Once again the extra last page is pure ~♥~!! If removed you could totally make a pretty poster out of it ＾　＾！This calendar makes me really miss H!P’s annual sports festivals~ (;´□｀)！！

Morning Musume 2010 calendar~

Momusu I think has once again provided fans with the most desirable calendar…and really who could resist Santa♥Kamei?…(^q^)!! Also the absolutely gorgeous cover is is given another image on the final extra page and just like last year’s extra photo I so would want to have this framed and hung up if only there were more room (ノロ≦。)！something that’s sadly no where to be found for me…(._.;)! These overhead shots are always so beautiful and really Momusu’s entire calendar has a sweet♥ candidness to it and once again I love that it was shot out of a studio’s confines in rooms and the scenic outdoors~. I’m also most *happy*! to see Kohachan♥ present!! ＾　＾。

~Dust bunnies, bruises & Saturday’s unwanted cleavage photos…(ノロ≦。)！~

今日は～！みなしゃん、

*Thank you* for everyone’s well wishes as my burn is now nearly almost completely vanished~ o(*´∀｀)o゛Your words of encouragement mean so much to me~! arigatou gozaimasu! ♥

Yesterday I was visiting with one of my cousins and one of my most favorite♥ nieces~…she wears socks all day long while indoors it seems so she doesn’t seem to notice…….w~ah! there seems to be some accumulation of thingies on her bedroom floor! (・д・`*) which she isn’t aware of? Hmm…..but my cousin says that she sometimes refuses to clean her room properly so in an attempt to encourage her to be much neater~……I did a bit of lint rolling along her floor…….

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。コロコロ〜♪

さてさて。。

なんじゃこりゃぁぁあぁああーっ(;゜□゜)！！！

A~h! hair….dust…and some of them were large enough to be categorized as true “bunnies” I think! (ノロ≦。)！

So now she’s cleaning her room much more….or was she only cleaning until I left I wonder?? (　┰_┰) We have carpet and tile flooring and while my cousin’s floors are all wooden…I think that daily cleaning is necessary and especially if you own any pets♥~! ＾　＾ There were some photos taken by my niece as she was watching me roll away at her bedroom floor~…well photos of what little cleavage I have and at that angle it’s so not good~! (*´艸`)！She can be so rascally sometimes~!!!…(^q^)…and I’m wondering where does she get this from~. ???

Mmm…speaking of cleavage I still remember when I first discovered the push up bra~♥! it was a very let’s say exciting day for me and my body~ but then I also remember that later that same year when Christmas arrived a few guy friends pitched in together to give me a Christmas present….

….(sigh…) it turned out to be a custom designed T-shirt which had one of the those street warning signs on it with text that read something like:……“WARNING! OBJECTS HEREIN MAY APPEAR MUCH LARGER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE!” (;´□｀)！！！。。。。。

。。hmm…what ever happened to that T-shirt I wonder??……

….oh~! that’s right the kittens needed something soft to lie on then!…..(。ーωー。)！

I know you really don’t want to see my very pale legs again so I’m refraining from showing you the new bruise that I’ve gotten also yesterday while visiting with my cousin, her husband and rascally♥ niece~! Like us they also have cats who stay indoors always…..so while I was walking into their living room one of their cats quickly darted in front of me just as I was stepping forward and in that instant I really thought that I may accidentally step on her (・д・`*)！so I tried to quickly step in another direction but as I’m not really the most agile person you’ll meet…….I ended up Yay~! missing their cat but Ugh~! I sort of tripped over myself (that’s how it was carefully described to me~! :P) and fell onto my cousins little exercise thingie~……(´⌒｀。)。。。。。

。。。。and I bruise so so easily that even by bumping softly into something I’ve gotten bruises in the past….those that I don’t even realize that I’ve gotten until I’m taking a shower later and I’m like e~h?! how did that happen? (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ 。。。

….so now I have this really awful looking bruise which is shaped really oddly on my upper thigh really near to where I was just burned~….so that was my weekend~ and I’m sure everyone had a much better one than I did ne~　＾　＾。

sincerely,

your tiny, clumsy friend♥ (^q^).

Dear “pv” what art thou?

There was a time when I thought of music promotional videos to be a means for artists/groups/record label to help grow their fan base by presenting themselves in a media which could be seen by many. That "promotional" truly meant to promote. A lot of this in me has sort of mixed feelings at the moment as most embedded pvs here are now unplayable empty shells…early this morning at 1 am I think, I received numerous notifications from YouTube indicating that what turned out to be all of Arashi's pvs were being removed but along with that everything else too as the account no longer exists.

The perhaps strange thing is that really I'm not saddened by the account no longer existing or its channel as I never really used YouTube as a place for socializing….what is affected though are many many posts here which utilized those clips for helping to present artists/groups in a better light in hopes that perhaps new fans could be attracted to them and ultimately be moved to purchase their releases~. The lone reason for opening that account was exclusively for means of embedding clips into posts to better help to support their music and personalities more clearly and hopefully more entertainingly.

Of course there is other media being utilized including photos, scans and audio clips…etc….but for some posts in particular so much was relying on the inclusion of those said pvs and I think much of these post's impact is ultimately lost in losing those visual accompaniments~.

A part of me wants to believe that in some at least little tiny way those pvs once helped to spread the love for those artists to others as I think that many times one may come across a clip just by chance one day~ but in hearing and seeing….a new musical obsession may begin♥~. Luckily I did have one last look at the channel last night….. Arashi has always garnered the most views of any artist I've shared with some clips exceeding 800,000 views in a relatively short period of time…and hopefully some where in those views…….just maybe a new fan or more were born~.

Yet it seems that I'm rather disillusioned when it comes to what a pv is intended for? H!P makes it a point to broadcast their pvs as early as possible through Dohhh UP! online which I think helps to create a genuine buzz and anticipation of their upcoming releases~…..and isn't that perhaps what a pv (promotional video) is intended for? H!P in general hasn't been active in removing their pvs even from outer independent sites but whether this is a blind nod or not numerous other musical entities do make it a point to remove any and all promotional material which I'm wondering is it not a contradiction to what a pv is meant to be by its very own definition? In the past channels like MTV (now there's so much reality t.v. there XD) I think were very much sought after by record labels/artists to broadcast their pvs as much as possible to help launch at times….new careers….comebacks…..and new singles~ but…..really what is a pv today if one doesn't want it shown to others in a media which can reach so many so quickly? An artist such as Marie♥Digby (listening♪♪～ right now o(*´∀｀)o゛) had her career literally launched on the internet via YouTube by broadcasting her clips there freely~…..it helps to keep my faith in what a pv is truly is.

I do apologize so much for all of the empty embedded clips which now are spread throughout posts here…..it's just too much of a daunting task to try to reproduce them all directly to VOX instead……happily some clips I've included are directly to VOX instead so those remain available to view but in the larger picture of things they are quite a minimum here verses those which are now gone~. All clips will now be included here directly to VOX and I do hope that these clips play okay for everyone wanting to view them~. I'm really sorry as so much of the experience is no doubt now lost in those earlier posts…..but perhaps wanting to help promote artists is now taboo in some eyes~ (　┰_┰)。

I'd love to hear any thoughts anyone has if you'd like to *share* them here~…

La~la~la~..shooting stars～☆, pregnancy & the fear of ramen♥ body! (。ーωー。)

Today’s lunch~ was kimchee hot pot♥ Σ(￣◇￣*)！！！We sometimes have a potluck at work although usually it would be on Fridays still a Thursday potluck sounds so *sweet* ne~! Kimchee daisuki~!♥♥♥ ………(゜∀゜)………。！！

Lately it seems that I have been eating a lot of noodles and in particular it’s been ramen♥!! Udon~mo daisuki~!♥♥ but still ramen♥ is my true love I think…

This morning for the very first time in my life I saw (“nagareboshi”) shooting stars。。。～～＊～～☆！There wasn’t just one of them but actually two~!!。。。～～＊～～☆！～～＊～～☆！It was I think about 3:35 am? about as I was leaving for work but I didn’t have my phone out so I couldn’t try to take a photo although I don’t know if it would have turned out very well in the pure darkness~…(u_u*).

So what did I *wish* for?

内緒です！。。(。ーωー。) It’s a *secret* or it may not come true ne~!

I wonder if I would then get two *wishes* though?? (・c_・;)？。。。。。I only made one~ atashi baka desu ne~! (*>ω<)！

So earlier tonight my bf♥ says to  me: 亜季ちゃんは。。体がラーメンみたぃになってしまぅよぉ↓↓↓(*´艸`)！！！
(That I’m developing a “ramen” body……) (ノロ≦。)！

So I say to my honey♥: ま、好きだからいっか♪。。。。。あっ、仕様がないです。
(Well, because I love it♪…..A~h! it cannot be helped. (。ーωー。) )

My bf♥’s reaction:。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。(^q^)!

I just gaze at him for awhile…(until…)

He then says: ちょっと、本気ですか？。。。。。(・д・`*)！！
(Wait, are you serious?…..(・д・`*)！！)

I say: う～ん！(￣▽￣)♥
(Yes!)

We’re now gazing♥~ deeply at one another until I realize that he knows that I’m kidding~ (^q^)!! We sometimes can understand each other so well even without words~ so both of us must always tell the truth fully or the other♥ will know!

I say: 亜季は冗談です！まだまだ妊娠じゃない。。(。ーωー。)　♪♪～♪♪～♪♪～。。。
(I’m kidding! not until I’m pregnant..(。ーωー。) la~la~la~…)

Our family does seem to have great metabolism though, as all of my aunts and cousins who’ve had children have all gone back to very much their bodies as they were before pregnancy~, so hopefully I too will be very much myself after I’ve given birth~ ＾　＾。But me getting pregnant is so far away from now~…I must be married♥ first to my honey♥~…but I musn’t scare him (・д・`*)！！ne~ with words such as pregnant (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ。

Hmm…so can you guess what we had for dinner tonight?~

Ramen♥!! (￣▽￣)♥♥♥

While I was busy cooking the ramen I had a one side conversation seemingly with myself…..(・_・);

I say: ラーメン大好き亜季にとってゎ、この待ち時間が我慢できない！！！
(I so love ramen♥ and I can’t can’t wait!!!)

A few minutes later….

I say: 早くラーメン食べたいよぉ〜(ノロ≦。)
(I want to eat ramen sooooon~(ノロ≦。) )

My bf♥’s “says”: (。ーωー。)笑
(Laughs…)…(^q^)!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To everyone reading: みんな、ラーメンの美味しそうな食べ方って、知ってる？
(Do you know how to make eating ramen♥ more delicious?)

Here following are my techniques and ways of making eating ramen♥ more enjoyable and oichii (oishii~/ delicious＾　＾)~…best expressed in Japanese ne~ o(*´∀｀)o゛：

まず、どんぶりの奥の方から麺を適量取って、箸で一気にすくいとる。
この時どんぶりの位置は、自分と１５センチ程の距離に。

麺を縦に二回持ち上げ、フーフー息を吹き掛け、冷ます。

そしたら顔をななめ１５度に傾けすかさず麺を口にはこび麺を２回に分けて勢いよく ズッ、ズズッ！っと吸い、麺についた汁が顔の回りに飛び散る！！

Minnasan~ ramen♥ tabetai ne~! (*´∀｀*)

S/mileage indies 2nd single あすはデートなのに、今すぐ声が聞きたい

S/mileage "asuwa date nano ni, imasugu koega kikitai" (CD single (jacket scan) "

S/mileage indies CD single "asuwa date nano ni, imasugu koega kikitai"

S/mileage are Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon & Ogawa Saki~.

Tsunku continues to compose♪♪～ such gems* for the H!P Eggs~! and following up their most awesome/catchy debut "aMa no Jaku" S/mileage has once again released such a well written, produced and performed single~.

Tsunku's 60's inspiration was running very high while he wrote "Asuwa date nano ni, imasugu koega kikitai" which means….asu (morning)…nano ni (has more than one usage but here it means "in spite of" or "even though")…..imasugu (right away, as soon as possible)….koe (voice)….and kikitai (want to hear; kiku is the stem form which means to listen;hear;ask)…which when put together has a meaning like…."Although we have a date tomorrow, (I) want to hear your voice right away…(or sooner)." And I think we've all experienced this *feeling* so much as even though we know we're going to see our loved♥ one very soon it's just not soon enough~. ＾　＾

As of today October 14th there are still at least two copies of S/mileage's "Asuwa date nano ni, ima sugu koega kikitai" indies single still available at Ohta's eBay store~.

01 あすはデートなのに、今すぐ声が聞きたい

S/mileage

From dueling organ pitches and harpsichord (I just so love that distinct *plucked* sound that the harpsichord produces as its strings aren't struck as with a piano….and if you've seen the inside of a harpsichord it's really a fascinating instrument with an ingenious design) "Asu wa date nano ni, imasugu koega kikitai" is pure 60's love♥~ o(*´∀｀)o゛and in some ways it can be envisioned as Bach meets~ The Beatles as there's a very Baroque era theme hovering over all of the twinkling psychedelic keyboard riffs which stream beside a most Paul McCartney like bouncy bassline assault~. And all of the Eggs sound so polished here and particularly in their ensemble vocals~….much of this song is very very reminiscent of the works in which Tsunku used to write for one of H!P's most beloved groups…Tanpopo♥~. They too were very much 60's inspired and when Tsunku's not busy composing the sounds of "pure" J-Pop untouched by Western or any other influences, I think here in this very genre of style he's so much at his very best~!! There's also a lot of very *cute* touches which seem to simulate those sounds of classic video games~ and they can be heard oh so clearly throughout although while listening to the karaoke version so much of this song's little *charms* can be so much better appreciated….so just in case you'd love to sing (*´∀｀*)♪♪～。。。along I've included the karaoke version just below~. I'm so in love♥ with this single~!! ＾　＾

02 あすはデートなのに、今すぐ声が聞きたい(Instrumental)

S/mileage

The jacket photography and art direction actually do reflect so much in the classical sounds heard in this single~ and here all four Eggs look so *adorable* in their outfits as classic meets with a modern twist~♥!

傷跡？！！！(´⌒｀。)

今日は。。。

。。。あたし。。

。。ヤケドしたぁ！！   

いだい(ノロ≦。)！！！

You don't want to know…(u_u*).

If you've been reading here for awhile then you surely know that I'm so much a clutz~!…sort of clumsy?…not very agile?…maybe so bad ne~?  ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。！！

Today has been……..well Yahoo just ate (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ an e-mail that I had been writing for 45 minutes to a *friend*..so not good! (;´□｀)！and now…well..

..this will be short…

I'm in a lot of pain now……and worse…………….

………….I tend to scar~……………………..

……………………(;゜□゜)！！！！

So not good.

This is so not *pretty*~!

どう～しよう？(._.;).

今日のためごと。。。

おぱょ♪

みなしゃん、o(*´∀｀)o゛♥

Today is a cleaning day~! I think I’ll be indoors all day as there’s just so much to get to everywhere~ (/∇＼*)！And it’s soooooo warm already!!!!! (ノロ≦。)！！！I already feel sweat beads~ and I just know it will get much worse later~!

I haven’t been feeling too well recently and for awhile now (+_+)！I’ve been home all week as a result and didn’t work (　┰_┰) at all since last Friday~. I’m getting more blood tests next week but so far my doctor has said that he can’t find anything wrong with me (._.;)..but surely I know my body better than anyone else ne~.

He wanted me to see a neurologist and it’s funny that I didn’t even know what a neurologist did~ but this is definitely not only in my mind I think but perhaps it’s my nervous system? (・c_・;)？I just don’t know but I do know that I’m not well。。。(+_+)。On some days I do *feel* much better than on others, like today I feel *genki*~! (*´∀｀*)♥

A~h…..I just had a random and totally unrelated thought~ (人∀`*)。。。that it’s so *lucky* that my gynecologist is very handsome which helps a bit with my nerves when I go there~..but still I sometimes wonder if he should not be undressed too before examining me? I mean then it would be so much more fair ne~! (。ーωー。) ♪♪～ ♪♪～ ♪♪～。。。。。！！　＼(^o^)／☆！Gomen….that’s just too odd ne!…(^q^)!

さてさて。

I’m also watching my most favorite♥ niece this weekend….well as long as she promises to stay out during my bath time♥~! (/∇＼*)！(*sigh*…)…..I hope I can keep up with her endless energy~! ＾　＾

ぇええ〜ッΣ(゜ロ゜;ノ)ノ！？今の時間は！もう～～10時です？！

。。。掃除、掃除！、掃除！！たくさんがあり！

今日、あたしはがんばります！みなしゃんも♥～がんばります！

掃除～～～スタート！Σ(￣◇￣*)！！！

Much~♥!!

モーニング娘。全シングルカップリングコレクション。

Momusu "zen single coupling collection" (lyrics booklet cover scan)

Momusu "Zen single coupling collection" LE

If one owns all of Momusu's singles and therefore their accompanying b-sides then perhaps this release is far more collectible than necessary to own….however even though I do own all 40 of their singles in every edition type the presentation and packaging alone make this a definite must have~!

42 songs♪♪～, three discs, and a 100 page all photo booklet come housed in a sturdy outer slip case and everything is *wonderfully* decorated with all Momusu members….past and present to make up one of the most impressively packaged releases that H!P has yet released~.

While this LE is sold out at Cdjapan, happily it's still available to order at YesAsia~…koko ni click~! to order. ＾　＾

Momusu "Zen single coupling collection" LE (lyric booklet scan)

Momusu "Zen single coupling collection" LE (slip case cover scan)

While the lyrics booklet contains only one photo (scanned above), the LE's 100 page red booklet is completely filled with color photos all playfully combining the current lineup w/ all members of the past~ through solo photo shoots…group shots….a very cool and impressive time line of when each member joined as well as a complete single cover discography~. And the best part is that the LE's photo booklet is a hard cover edition~!….very much like how H!P's "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL" LE first pressing single's hard cover booklet was designed~!…making this LE I think a must have for this reason alone!!

I love how UFI decided to use one of the earliest photos available for each member's picture on the outer slip case…while the lyrics booklet does the complete opposite showing each member in their latter or current appearance which is quite a *sweet* touch~.

Momusu "Zen single coupling collection" LE (slip case back scan)

Momusu "Zen single coupling collection" LE release~

And talk about *natsukashii~* o(*´∀｀)o゛♥~。。。as listening♪♪～ to each of these three discs in succession brings back so many memories~ and it puts a great twist on just listening to the main title tracks as one perhaps may tend to do?

B-sides have always somehow had a very special place in my heart♥~…in that it just seems that so often I find myself loving these coupling with songs either equally or at times even more than their title tracks~….

…so while it would be painfully odd for you to want to read them all, I've just listed my most favorite♥ coupling with songs♪♪～ here…."ai no tane", "Happy Night", "Never Forget", "Inspiration!", "Dekkai uchuu ni ai ga aru", "Popcorn Love!", "Jun Lover", "Never Forget (Rock Ver.), "Koi ING", "Fine Emotion!", "Love & Peace! HERO ga yatte kita", "Watashi ga tsuiteru" and "Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai Jan!" Um…I could keep listing them but those are just the very top for me in Momusu b-sides~. ＾　＾

I apologize so much for my poor scanning as some of these aren't quite straight (ノロ≦。)！as I was so trying not to harm the booklet's spine and adhesives for the pages~…….but somehow I did manage to scan the entire hard cover booklet just below ↓↓↓。。。just to give you a clear idea of what to expect if you do decide to order this complete coupling with collection~….very highly recommended!! ＼(^o^)／☆ Love all of these photos so much!!….
