C-ute in "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"…

C-ute "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" LE CD single

With its companion pv DVD single yet to arrive (release date: 9/30)…I've been just so mesmerized with watching the "Zekkouchou Ver." of "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!"'s music video which is included with C-ute's latest LE single~!

There's no doubt!…Ume's last single with C-ute/H!P is such an awesome production from its writing♪♪~ to all of the extra effort put into the accompanying visuals making this such a *dream* single!! The title says it all too~..with "zekkou" meaning: splendid; first rate; and perfect! while "chou" has a meaning of: tune; tone; or pitch~. And "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" is every single bit the very definition of just that!

C-ute releases including "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

C-ute releases can be ordered here at YesAsia.

C-ute "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" LE CD single (inner jacket scan)

The aesthetic slickness of the single's cover artwork inside and out go far beyond those photo shoots~ as UFI really seems to have put in an extra effort in creating an almost JE♥ like smooth production creating really what I think is one of C-ute's most visually stunning and impressive music videos♥ to date! And yay! ＼(^o^)／☆ for sizeable budgets as their rooftop scenes complete with platform are somewhat reminiscent of Arashi's pv for "PIKA☆☆NCHI DOUBLE" and C-ute's dance choreography~ is really top notch here as well! Each and every member is just so *amazing* in their own right as C-ute has grown both musically as well as within their members themselves maturing…and now I just find that C-ute is by far the most dynamic＊ and well balanced group in H!P at this moment I think~. ＾　＾

01 ＥＶＥＲＹＤＡＹ絶好調！！

C-ute

While its coupling with track "Amai wana" seems to fair in comparison that may actually be just my initial perception as the title track "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" surely and deservingly so takes center stage here~…..additionally I really feel that the title track thrives so much more when set to its pv visuals~ so I'm really thinking that in time I'll find "Amai wana" growing on me much much more~ as it's really an energetic song♪♪~ with a sort of retro 90's rock feel to it. =)

"EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" still is definitely the cooler side of the pillow here by far as Tsunku has once again penned a future classic~…this composition being his vision of pure contemporary pop♪♪~ heaven~ ………(゜∀゜)………！And while Maimichan and Airiin continue to be the group's main vocalists, I feel so much more unity in the vocal arrangement giving this song a much more group like effort~. Just thinking now that I'm yet to even watch the original and other alternate pv versions that their pv DVD single will provide when it arrives in about a week from now….fills me with so much anticipation as already this alternate "Zekkouchou" version has me so moved and completely blown away! C-ute is really showing just how capable they are of blurring the lines between cute "idol" group and mainstream pop dynasty~ and this single is such an impressive step towards the latter I think~. ＾　＾

~"Maochan’s music seal of approval"~

"EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!" also receives Maochan's♥ seal of approval for song awesomeness!!

Matsu♥Takako love~ continues…

Matsu Takako in concert tour 2003 "second wave" on film…

Matsu Takako "second wave" on film DVD w/ "Minna hitori CD single

Just a little post before we♥ visit some friends in Kaneohe….tonight it's a little video game party~ where I will attempt to beat up the boys…..in video games of course! (。ーωー。)…..and tomorrow after the morning race~ it'll be a beach day! Hopefully the weather will be as beautiful as it was today and although Summer is over it's still so so so warm here but the blue skies and nice breezy trade winds should make it perfect to be outdoors~. =)

I just recently re-watched Matsu♥ Takako's "second wave" on film concert DVD as the song♪♪~ selection here is so wonderful and what really makes this as well as her other two concert DVDs so enjoyable is her live band which travels with her from venue to venue~….and not only are they the same musicians, giving them incredible and fun chemistry on stage…but they're all so amazingly talented each in their own right at their own musical craft~!

Matsu Takako releases can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

While watching some of her pvs later I took out her single "Minna Hitori" which includes a DVD with the first pressing for its music video and it once again reminded me of just how much I *love* this coupling with song♪♪~!!…….

02 幸せの呪文

Matsu Takako

…….."Shiawase no jumon"..music & lyrics by Matsu♥Takako and it has one of the most beautiful melodies I think~.

Matsu Takako in "second wave" on film DVD…

"Second wave" on film~ was released on March 24th, 2004 and includes 22 *wonderful* and lively~ performances….and choosing just one to have here was a bit difficult to choose but I finally decided on her performance of "Yume de aetara" which occurs right at the start of her encore performances which also is the reason for her adorable casual attire~. o(*´∀｀)o゛ It's such an ultra *cute* J-pop classic~….I hope you enjoy it too! ＾　＾

Matsu♥Takako~ 10 years of footsteps…..

Matsu Takako "footsteps~10th Anniversary Complete Best~"

Matsu Takako "footsteps~10 Anniversary Complete Best~"

While Matsu Takako's "footsteps" 10th anniversary collection was released  back in June of 2008, I just found myself looking back at so many of her heartfelt compositions from over the past years~ once again and in light of her upcoming new release which is set for October 21st! (BVCL-20011) It's been now nearly three years since her last single release and it just reminds me of how much we should always *cherish* music and our favorite♥ artists/groups~ releases truly*~.

Much more on Matsu Takako's history in Japan's entertainment industry and in music can be found here in an earlier post from 2008~. I really tried to cover so much in this previous post……so here tonight is just a reminiscing of sorts on just a few songs and in particular their accompanying pvs~ which I so ~♥~! ＾　＾

The 10th annivesary collection itself is most beautifully presented~! A pristine white casing greets you and upon opening you'll find four discs~  with 3 being CDs & 1 of them a DVD~. Discs one and two cover her up to then 10th annivesary of songs as single releases are covered and in addition you'll find the that the third CD includes personally chosen tracks by Matsu Takako herself~. The fourth disc which is a DVD which includes 12 video clips~ and although some are much abbreviated versions of the songs themselves and appear to be more in the vein of lengthy promotional spot, most are full length pvs…..some previously released while others are appearing here officially for the very first time~.

This set opens up (as pictured above) in a gatefold style~ and to the right of the four discs which are ingeniously packaged to minimize space necessity, you'll find an extensive photo book complete with song lyrics all which are written in Matsu Takako's handwriting~ accompanied by black & white photos throughout giving it a very warm and "home made" type of feeling…..and much of the photos also appear to be chosen off-shots from her singles and album releases……very *sweet*!

And here are just a few of my favorites♥~…..please enjoy the videos~! ＾　＾

This is really one of my most most favorite! Matsu Takako songs….such an uplifting melody♪♪~ and this pv is so so so *adorable*!! A bus ride has never been so *cuddly*~! o(*´∀｀)o゛ and I really love the way it was filmed….so sweetly candid and "home town" like~ (*´∀｀*)!

Matsu♥Takako in "Akari no tomoru ho e"…

"Yume no shizuku"…

Surely one Matsu♥Takako isn't enough…(。ーωー。) so here we have multiple images all elegantly captured in a single pv~ for this intricate melody♪♪~….and the black & white contrast really suits this vision so well~! Really makes me *wish* that I had learned to play the piano! =)

An "animated" Matsu♥Takako in "Hana no you ni"…

The animation here reminds me somehow of Jun♥Kazama in the earlier Tekken series final mini movies~ and I just love this style of animation! (*´∀｀*)….and I love sunflowers so….hmm…..ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ。。！！

~Pimp my ride~ pt. 4

Hmm…it's been awhile since we last pimped our rides here so here's part 4….(previous pimping of rides can be found here~)…….

School bus in China

……it seems that pimping your ride is not only for personal use anymore, but now it's even reached the academic level~! Take a look at this most *amazing* Microsoft dream school bus in Japan!…that should have read China! ＼(^o^)／☆, thank you chow_kayan for the correction~!…I pasted these from an e-mail and I didn't check the kanji writing carefully~…(._.;)!

School bus in China

Sugoi ne~! Although I do tend to feel a bit woozy (￣Ｏ￣*) if I'm on a bus for too long or if I attempt to read anything in a vehicle so surely I'd have trouble studying while this bus is in motion~…..but still this is soooo *amazing*!!

And now here's a pimped up school bus in Pakistan……..

But you can also find such *cute* and *lucky* (hint! XD) Japanese trinkets and figures there too~.

So what's in the bag? Hmm….a few most *adorable* surprises I hope! (*´∀｀*)

“Smile”…

Japanese drama series "Smile"…

"Smile" complete series DVD set~

I decided not to do a "reasons…" type post where I *gush* with 30 to 40 reasons on why I ♥ a drama/anime so much as I really love doing those Σ(￣◇￣*)！but instead I was just thinking of sharing a few thoughts that the drama "Smile" instilled in me as I watched it just recently~. =)

First…what a wonderful cast~ this drama has as Matsumoto Jun, Aragaki Yui and Nakai Kiichi lead such a talented group of actors/actresses in telling this most moving drama. The story evolves around Hayakawa Vito (played by Matsujun♥) whose heritage is half Filipino and half Japanese although he is a Japanese citizen~……and how he, his family and friends go through so much which stems ultimately from Vito's past association with very bad people. But through it all Vito befriends a seemingly unlikely friend found in a lawyer (played by the very talented Nakai Kiichi) and in time they find just how much closer bound they are in the eye's of society. Much of the story's inspirational drive can be attributed to Vito's chance meeting with Mishima Hana (played by the always so *kawaii* Aragaki Yui) and how the three become intertwined through scenes which seemlessly capture the past to present to future…all leading up to and culminating in a "court styled" drama which plays out about as great as they come I think~. ＾　＾

The underlying theme~ of "Smile" touches upon a very real and very sad aspect that's seen progress through the years and yet even today is something that so many find themselves sadly troubled with it. =( It's the most ugly word "discrimination" and through pockets in some cultures and even in larger scales elsewhere it's something so sad that we as human beings just can't seem to get by. In the story Vito's mixed nationalities brings him so much grief from others in society, those who view people in terms of their background rather than the person standing before them~. But through this though often heartbreaking drama you'll see how the human spirit can often just as much change and rely on hearts♥, personalities and minds rather than the color of one's skin or their upbringing or background…which should never lead to premature judgement of anyone~. I especially thought that the trial shed so much light on this subject, and through the men and women chosen for the jury…young and older the views that many of us may have were really captured in a real sense all the while never dodging this most sensitive topic and instead taking it straight on~.

In closing…."Smile" is really a thought provoking drama~ and one that I *hope* many people will watch, and whether you're a fan of Japanese dramas or not…a fan or Matsujun's or not…..the story will nonetheless shed so much light on how we as a worldly society should view and treat others, not by race or color…not by nationality or heritage, but truly by the person and individual that you see standing before you~. ＾　＾

~Confessions of an idol♥ fangirl~. =)

Hi minnasan~…this post has been somewhat of a work in progress and it’s been one that I’ve been meaning to write properly one day~.First I would like to say *thank you* o(*´∀｀)o゛so much to everyone that I’ve been so privileged to have been able to meet and speak with here on this VOX blog♥. Your comments and PMs truly mean so much to me and I mean that sincerely from the bottom on my heart♥~. And I surely wouldn’t be still here at VOX albeit being silly most of the time…(^q^) had it not been for your visits~ and your *wonderful* way of reaching out and communicating here. Aside from one bad period when I was being sent really awful and mean PMs…everything here has been the absolute best and when it comes to blogging I still remember my very first encounter with the term and just how naively ignorant I was of what it could possibly mean..(・c_・;)？”Web-log” and really for much of this blog’s existence I remained quite closed to much of that actual meaning in the sense that even though much of my earlier posts do have personal touches to them, I wasn’t truly writing personal entries until not too long ago but still after my PM incidents I’ve remained cautious in posting them so they’re not readily viewable by the public and I know that my VOX neighborhood is quite jumbled up in confusion right now with my personal settings and I apologize so much if those posts remain unviewable by some.

MorningBerryz blog was originally opened by my cousin and I know there may still be some confusion as to how this all developed over time. When he first opened this blog (I came up with the name though~ ＾　＾) my cousin really didn’t have an idea of what he’d be doing with this new venture and sometimes I would try giving him ideas for posts although even together we had no idea of what we were doing (._.;)….I actually still have no idea of what I’m doing ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。! So the very first entries were solely his writings although he’s deleted a lot of them over time but some of them still do remain in 2006 and early 2007 posts. My cousin did eventually lose interest though and he told me that it just wasn’t something for him to want to continue on with……so in an attempt to make a seamless transition I began posting everything here from the early part of 2007 all the while keeping this blog anonymous in a sense~….as I would purposely write posts from……I guess you could say from a male’s aspect and point of view. Much of the reason for this was that for one, I thought it would seem really really odd (・_・)! if the blog’s style of writing changed dramatically overnight if I really wrote the entries truly the way that I wanted to……and two, even more of a personal concern of mine was just how I would be viewed by others seeing that I’m really in love with collecting and *cherishing* female idol collectibles as in music♪♪~, shashinshuu, photos, videos and other various collectible merchandise~. At the time I was really unaware of just how many other female fans were out there whom also love to watch and collect idol things♥ so writing purposely to not appear as myself was something that I was very concious of doing.

During 2007 I had then met some really *wonderful* friends here on VOX and through comments and PMs I gradually realized that it was okay to be myself and it wasn’t something for me to feel awkward or self conscious about even in an open forum….this blog~. Many were most encouraging too for me to blog personally a lot more than I would previously had done~. There were those that I needed to make ammends with as I had been stupidly hiding behind a fake aura of myself….but everyone here has been so *sweet* and understanding and from that point on I was then able to write freely as I then knew that I wasn’t quite odd in my idol fandom and that it is indeed okay for a girl to love collecting female idol thingies~ (人∀`*). While I always tried to have an honest and humorous side to writing it was then just so much easier to write posts as I knew that I could then be myself.

So this blog has had a sort of schizophrenic (゜ロ゜ノ)ノ personality….with some of my cousin’s posts still here….and really due to my lack of confidence in letting others see me for who I am as much of my earlier post reflect in my writing, but really I think at the very least, 98% of the posts here are mine and all of the J-Pop collections that I’ve been writing about and sharing are definitely 100% my collectibles~ and not my cousins and he actually got into J-Pop much later than I did. I’ve actually asked him if he wanted to delete more of his posts but for the most part I don’t think he really cares too much so they’ll just remain here although again, there’s not too many of them still left. My cousin also isn’t interested in NASCAR or racing really….although I’ve tried to recruit him as a new fan….much to my failure~ (ノロ≦。)！

Okay and now for something that’s been going on with me right now….some visitors may have already read that I’m no longer single o(*´∀｀)o゛♥゛ and although it’s still really quite early in our relationship he’s♥ really the most *wonderful* person that I’ve ever met and I’m beyond being gooey in love~ ………(゜∀゜)………。♥ It also means me wanting so much to spend as much time as possible with him….(every breathing moment if I could although that would most likely drive him batty~!…XD) and eventually I don’t think I’ll be able to spend the time that I would want to here on VOX. This has been something that’s been growing on my mind more and more recently and I always felt that I would definitely stop blogging if one, I wasn’t enjoying the experience anymore….or two, I no longer had the time to dedicate myself as much as I would want to (I would just hate to blog sporatically and not be dedicated enough here~ (._.;) ) It’s definitely not the former thought as I still so so love posting and meeting people to share and learn about so many interests out there in music♪♪~, culture, love and just so much in life experiences~…..I do really love being here on VOX. However it’s the second thought that bothers me so much and truly I think there will come a day when I no longer am able to dedicate as much time as I would truly like to here….and it’s really for my new relationship♥ and I know it’s so selfish of me I know…but this means everything to me and I’m really really so much in ~♥~! (*´∀｀*) This isn’t something that I feel will happen really soon~…..but I do think that inevitably I’ll so feel this way one day in the perhaps near future. So for now these are sort of like my final writings here……I really don’t want to say when as I’m just not sure of when this feeling will arise me in~. In the past on some occasions I’ve spent maybe 8 or more hours on a single post~….those where I’ve tried to cover an endeared artist/group♥ as much as I can and I just have this tendancy to to want to include so much in the content that I know it’s most likely at times perhaps too much? XD Still it’s sort of in my very nature to do such things and that’s what I would struggle with so much if I knew that I wasn’t dedicating as much effort and time into my writings here as much as I would so want to~. So this has really culminated in me so much recently and…..I just see that by early next year, with some particular special plans that we♥ have together…..I just want to be so dedicated to my new relationship♥ as I feel that this is something truly *special* and I just may never have this ♥ again~.

Speaking of my bf♥! we have sort of an amusing thing happening between us whenever we’re….well mostly in the “J-Pop storage room” as he calls it…(*´艸`)…..we’ll be watching a video or looking at magazines or shashinshuu and we’re both commenting on how *adorable* or *cute* an idol is and who’s more *adorable* until the other day he finally said….”wait, you’re a girl….” implying that why are we both “checking” out girls? and my only thought was to “check” and then tell him….”hai~ I still have a vagina”…(。ーωー。)! He was at first really amazed at how much idol collectibles I own but he truly doesn’t think me odd which is so good…(^q^)! Of course I’m fully aware that we’re seeing idols in a much different light~….he’s probably wishing I looked more like them while I’m wishing that I were one of them~!…I’m kidding!!!!!!…(^q^)! 😛

Kohachan♥ to graduate from H!P on December 6th ( ┰_┰).

Kohachan♥

Kohachan♥

This past Saturday night I was up a bit late and chatting* in IW's #wotachat room when I was told this most unexpected and devastating news….that Morning Musume's Kohachan was announced to be graduating from not only Momusu, but also from Hello! Project completely (;´□｀). Her graduation is set to happen on December 6th at the conclusion of Momusu's 2009 Autumn "Nine Smile" concert tour which will be held at Tokyo Kouseinen Kinkaiken.

The initial details mention modeling as Kohachan's possible post H!P career of choice but with this announcement's abruptness coupled with the fact that Kohachan is no where near to be a so called "next in line" to graduate member with her time in the group not being very long just yet and with numerous fellow members ahead of her in this regard, this really gives me a feeling that she's being in a sense forced out? Further there have been sources saying that her mood as of late hasn't been much of her genki self~ (;_;).

However much like Erikachan's recent decision to pursue modeling as her career choice and thus leave H!P perhaps this is much in the same….I'm just feeling a bit uneasy about this announcement though….and while Erikachan's decision was clearly of her own doing, this has much more the feeling of an offiicial UFI decision and just the manner in which it was announced by Tsunku seems so different. Surely Kohachan could pursue modeling outside of H!P while still being in it I would think?…but more importantly and regardless of what may have brought about this decision, it's truly much more about what will be missed and lost when Kohachan♥ departs from H!P on December 6th~.

Being labeled right from the very beginning by Tsunku as the *miracle* girl~ surely has caused rifts amongst fans and really during this past now decade + of me growing up along with Momusu I've just never witnessed any other member in H!P being on such opposite ends of the spectrum as viewed through H!P fans eyes. In large there seems to be an either overwhelming love of Kohachan or overwhelming dislike of Kohachan but very little middle of the fence sentiments. Truly every individual has every right to be very passionate about groups/artists they love and one such passion surely could lead to there being much *adored* artists and that those members that fans just don't connect to for various reasons….and in that light Kohachan has spent so much of her time in Momusu/H!P being deeply scrutinized. Again I think Tsunku's labeling of Kohachan with such a title as the "miracle" girl really set a flame to create such disparity and I think even a few personal conceptions may have been different had she just been Gen. 7~ as this surely set expectations so much higher for Kohachan.

During these past four years in Hello! Project Kohachan really did live up to much of Tsunku's hype though with her being at one point H!P's youngest soloist to debut, all of her accomplishments as a seiyuu♥ as well as her much busy schedule as I can only imagine must have been so hectic with Kohachan being active in so many other group releases outside of her work in Momusu~. Through it all I think Kohachan *shined* so much and while she may not have been one of H!P's stronger vocalists…..I don't think anyone can question her 110% effort which is always evident whether it be in live performances, her in studio seiyuu work, appearances on variety programs or fan events~. And in the end that's all one really can do if they're dedicated enough….is to give it their all~ and Kohachan always did just that….give it her all~. I think back to being able to watch Momusu appearing at her school for the special announcement…that she had just won the Gen.7 audition as was was now the new sole member of that generation…..how *amazing* it was to see her expression and reaction o(*´∀｀)o゛ on that day~ and to have it occur in front of her fellow classmates just so heartwarming♥~. How Tsunku personally visited her home and met with her parents and followed up with a personal tutoring in voice lessons all done to Momusu's *beloved* classic "Furusato"…..time goes by so quickly~(´⌒｀。)….I think now I'll rewatch some of this….just to remember the beginnings of what she brought to Momusu and H!P.

And what will be missed?….and lost?..when Kohachan does leave on December 6th? An irreplaceable uniqueness, energy and genkiness♥ that's truly unmatched in the whole of H!P at this moment…..which leads to group dynamics and how Momusu will be weaker for this in her absence~. Kohachan always brought a higher level of joy to whatever the occassion and it never really mattered, it's just her natural glow and *personality* which always beams so much that you can't but help notice her always~. And this is just the surface of what will be lost on that day. (;_;).

I just try to imagine what it would be like to have such a *wonderful* opportunity to be an idol..a member of such an amazing group! (*´∀｀*)♪♪~ And think of how you would be there while so nervous and full of butterflies and yet always trying to do your very best…wanting to be *endeared* by fans and wanting to accomplish so much~. I imagine that anyone in this very opportunity would be so subceptible to outside criticism or worse…words that can be hurtful. It may be that with how the world's ability to instantly communicate…through various avenues like twitter…facebook somehow we've become much too desensitized with our words at just how easy it is to reach anyone~. But truly words can and always will have the ability to be so very hurtful (;´□｀) no matter the means in which they're presented and in this sense I feel Kohachan has endured so much over these four years spent in the spotlight with so many awful comments aimed at her from what I've seen…..and in a sense sometimes when there's nothing nice to say about a person maybe it would be nicer for those words to be left unsaid…at least not in a public forum as we're all human and capable of one thing for sure, and that is hurt. And you just never know who may be reading (　┰_┰).

(…..now watching Momusu's "Aruiteru" pv…I've just always thought that Kohachan♥ was so *genki* in her solo parts while walking and her enthusiasm so *cute* and lively……I just need to watch something to help *cheer* me up (+_+).)

I'll miss you so much Kohachan♥…..I *wish* for you the very best as you so deserve it~.＾　＾

~Parting is such *sweet* sorrow~…(;´□｀).

…so alas the time has come to say ~good-bye~….(;´□｀)!

…it’s been a long and loving relationship that we’ve had here~ o(*´∀｀)o゛♥

Sure we’ve had our fair share of  bumps in the road along the way…(゜ロ゜ノ)ノ!….like those times when I may have pressed to firmly or you may have been too harsh on me~ (._.;)!!

But there are also those late nights and early mornings that I’ll never forget where you were *always* there for me! (*´∀｀*)♥!

Giving me a renewed sense of *brightness*~ (￣▽￣)!!

Never complaining ( 」´０｀)」….

….*thank you* so much toothbrush～＊ ～♥　～♥　～＊

I will never forget you♥~ (人∀`*)!

I now have my very own Oral-b spin brush~＊…..you were quite pricey at $94.99 but there are now two of you~♥ with replaceable brush heads, varying cleaning speeds, rechargeable batteries and your little circular design fits me so perfectly♥~. ＾　＾

Someone also PM’d me recently asking if I color my hair frequently…..but it’s actually the really low lighting that we have in much of the house that makes my hair color appear dark brown or nearly black sometimes..but my hair’s really a rather medium to light brown~ although I do let it *go* sometimes so I have a bit darker roots…(._.;)!

p.s. my dentist always gives me a toothbrush during my checkups for cleaning so I guess really I’ll never really be far apart from a manual toothbrush~♥! (。ーωー。)…..and when I was little my then dentist had a little *treasure chest* in his office where we I was able to get a toy♥ after my cleaning….(*sigh*….) I know I’m much too old to be thinking of toys♥ but those are truly sweet memories that I have of being little~…hmm I’m still *little* but just older~ o(*´∀｀)o゛.
