君の戦法(Kimi no Senpou)
ºC-ute - Nakajima Saki, Okai Chisato, Hagiwara Mai)

(黙ってて　付いてきて
文句は言わないの　絶対嫌
私がしたいようにするの
わがままで何が悪いのよ
いいから　付いてきて)

(Don't say a word! Just follow me!
Don't complain, I won't take it!
Do what I say!
Do you have any problem with it?
Just listen to me! Follow me!)

黙ってて　付いてきて
文句なんかは絶対嫌
私がしたいようにしたい
わがまま聞いてほしい

Don't say a word! Just follow me!
Don't complain, I won't take it!
I want you to do as I say.
I want you to listen to what I say.

こんな風に　わがままを
すべて全部　受けとめる奴
なんでそこまで優しいの
調子に乗っちゃうわ

You're a guy who takes in
all these selfishness.
Why are you so kind?
I get too carried away.

あまりに　優しいから
もっと甘えちゃう
こんなに慣れちゃうと
君以外無理だもん

Because of your extreme kindness,
I intend to behave more and more like a baby,
and since I'm too used to it,
I can't think of anyone else but you

これって全部　これって全部
君の戦法
はまってちゃって　はまってちゃって
抜け出せない

All of this, all of this
is your tactics
I fell (into it), I fell (into it),
and I'm stuck.

もし君が　突然に 逆切れたら
私絶対　しがみついて 離れない

If you ever get fed up with me,
I will grab a hold of you, and never let you go

(ハンバーグ　んーやっぱ中華
んー　でもイタリアンかな
んー　全部)

(Hamburger! mm... no wait, Chinese!
mm... but maybe Italian?
mm... I want all of them!)

ハンバーグ　食べたいな
やっぱ中華にしようかしら
イヤイヤ　イタリアンかな
全部買ってきてよ

I want to eat Hamburger
or should I pick Chinese?
No no, maybe Italian
Go and get all of them!

笑ってる　君が居る
なんかいっつも拍子抜ける
普通の男子はこの辺で　怒るのに

I see you, laughing.
I always get deflated.
Other guys usually get so angry from this.

そんなに　優しくって
どして　疲れないの
私が君だったなら　今頃　居ないよ

Why are you so kind,
and why don't you get tired of me?
If I were you, I would be gone by now.

これもそうね　これもそうね 愛の形
良い意味で　私たち 凸と凹

I guess, I guess this is one kind of Love
We both are too different, in a good way

そんな風に　お気軽に 考えてて
君が急に　居なくなったら　AH 壊れちゃう

Thinking so lightly like this,
If you ever leave me, AH I'll be torn into pieces.

これって全部　これって全部
君の戦法
はまってちゃって　はまってちゃって
抜け出せない

All of this, all of this
is your tactics
I fell (into it), I fell (into it),
and I'm stuck.

もし君が　突然に 逆切れたら
私絶対　しがみついて 離れない

If you ever get fed up with me,
I will grab a hold of you, and never let you go

Photobooks

It still amazes me how mature Risako can look!
But then in the sunflower pictures she is able to go back and look like a little kid!


Nakajima Saki
Nacky's first photobook 'Nacky' was released on 9 December.






Although I didn't like the front cover, there are some really nice pictures in her photobook (from what I've seen.) Especially love that picture of her in the long white dress on the grass with sprinklers going off in the background.


Ishikawa Rika
The cover of Ishikawa Rika's tenth photobook has been released!

Boobies!!

Damn! I hope that's it!!...
Yeah, I know ManoVegetable has heaps of stuff coming out, but I'm sick of seeing her vegetable face. So no posts for her! LOL!

Btw... the new Morning Musume group artist picture is totally freaking me out... It looks SO ODD...
I can't stop staring at Sayumi in the middle and it's blowing my mind! Sayumi can't be centre! It's just so messed up!! I didn't think Koharu leaving would make much difference, but it totally does! That picture doesn't look right at all!

Okay, so now I'll list some of the upcoming posts I have to do.
• Kusumi Koharu's graduation memorial picspam post
• Berryz Koubou's concert image collection (featuring Miya's new hair)
• Still working on a Buono! history post... Now I have to add the new Bravo☆Bravo pics to it!
• Christmas picspam!

LOLOL, so much picspam to look forward to!

Nakajima Saki's First Photobook, 'NACKY' making of Videos!!! X)

Awwww.. XD


B.B

The cover for Nacky's 1st photobook has been released XD



Release Date: 9th of December

Wow, this is so different from all the other H!P photobooks. I've seen Momo's photobook with her face on focus, but this is really really close and don't get to see her clothes or even the background!
But it's actually working (in a way) because it's making me want to see more of the photobook XP
But I would have liked them to work on the types and their positioning a little better....

The theme for her photobook is about her being an exchange student. They didn't actually mention WHERE, but they've said "the Island of the South" instead. Hmm... where could it be... Australia? XP
Anyway, this photobook will be focused on her "campus life", "at the homestay", "club activities after school".

I really can't wait to see the inside pages X)




B.B

As most of you already know, Nakky aka Nakajima Saki from ºC-ute will be getting her 1st Photobook titled "NACKY".

Release Date: 9th of December

Yaaaaaaaay!! I can't wait! =D
I'll have to start spelling her nickname Nacky now X) haha


B.B

YAY! ºC-ute's vids were posted today!!
Exciting stuff X)


As there's sooo many members, I don't think I'll be able to translate them all at once, but I will slowly translate them for you guys soon =D (But if you have any of your favourite members here, and if you are really eager to know, then let me know, and I'll translate that person as a priority if you'd like =D )

Part 1 (Nakajima Saki)

Nakky's singing is still a bit unstable, and for some reason it made me feel a bit tense while listening to it, but I bet she was so nervous (as you can tell) but she is ridiculously cute! X) I really like her as a person =D
Songs:
'Time Capsule' (ºC-ute)
'Big Dreams' (ºC-ute)

Part 2 (Nakajima Saki → Suzuki Airi)

Airi's always really easy to listen to, and I love how she smiles and dances =D So cute.
Oh yea, and her paintings are so cool! Considering she's just like in middle school, she's such an awesome artist =)
Songs:
'Datte Ikitekanakucha' (Abe Natsumi)
'Garakuta no Yume' (Buono!)
'Big Dreams' (ºC-ute)

Part 3 (Suzuki Airi → Hagiwara Mai)

Maimai seemed really nervous, but she's one of the members who can sing =)
Songs:
'Aenai Nagai Nichiyoubi' (Fujimoto Miki)
'Natsu Remember You' (Berryz Koubou)
'Big Dreams' (ºC-ute)

Part 4 (Hagiwara Mai → Okai Chisato)

Chissa can REALLY sing!! Awesome singer =D I wish she had more lines within ºC-ute.
But I guess she'll have more after Ume-san's grad. (Ume-san.. T-T)
Songs:
'Robo Kiss' (W)
'Zutto Suki de Iidesu ka' (Matsuura Aya)
'Big Dreams' (ºC-ute)

Part 5 (Okai Chisato → Yajima Maimi)

Hey, she didn't really sound that manly here! =D haha
(or maybe because she's singing by herself =p)
Maimi's MC is really easy to listen to. She knows how to entertain people =)
Songs:
'Omoi Afurete' (Matsuura Aya)
'Big Dreams' (ºC-ute)

Part 6 (Yajima Maimi → Umeda Erika)

I really love her character X) It's a pity she's leaving soon because she was a great mood-maker of the group and for us..
I reckon she would have been a great leader if she ever wanted to be one. (although her singing isn't her specialty =p)
Songs:
'Koi-ING' (Morning Musume)
'Big Dreams' (ºC-ute)

Part 7 (Umeda Erika)

Did you guys notice how ºC-ute wotas are more... confronting? ... Okay, that wasn't the right word to say, but you know what I mean? They really love their ºC-ute members and you can tell that cuz they've tried to communicate with the members more than those Berryz Wotas just sitting there listening.
But it's not that surprising cuz I've heard that when you go to ºC-ute concert, most of the time there are these crazy wotas who starts fighting (police involved) whereas you don't really hear much of those stories from Berryz concerts.
Interesting, eh?

Thumbnails of the covers of the Guardians4 new single 'School Days' have surfaced.

Regular Edition:


Limited Edition:


Well, I definitely wasn't a fan of their first single. I donno, this line-up just baffles me, all their voices are so different and don't fit together that well IMO.
But these new covers do look much better than their first ones. I just hope the new PV does too. The first one was TERRIBLE...

Let's just wait and see?


B.A

ºC-ute had an interview with the Yan Yan Magazine.

Here are the translations to anyone whose interested =D  Enjoy.

Translation:
ºC-ute's new single, "Shochuu Omimai Moushiagemasu" is perfect for this season.
It's a cover song of the 70s three idols group, Candies, which was really popular back then.
From the member, we have interviewed Erika, Maimi and Saki.


Translation:
- Shochumimai... do you even write letters?
Saki: Yes I do! I exchange it with the members. But I give them by hand, instead of going to the post office.
- If you're seeing them by person... why not tell them?
Saki: Everyone likes drawings, so, we have fun drawing pictures with words maybe?
Maimi: Plus, we can't really talk a lot when we are working... so yea. Nowadays, there are lots of cute letter papers and envelops so I get satisfied just by collecting them. lol. I even send letters to the members or a friend which I don't see often like things I might forget if I don't write it down.
Erika: I don't really write. Even if get letters from the members, I don't reply to them lol. So I just reply in person. In primary school, when I was in ZYX, writing letters was popular back then, so I used to collect then by putting them in to tins. I wonder what we used to write about? haha
S: Even today, I wrote to Maimi-chan. I wrote something like "let's do our best". She wrote me a letter when we had our spring tour, so it's such a late reply, but I'm in to making plushies right now, so I gave it to her along with the letter. haha

- That sounds fun. Your new song was a cover song which was sung by the famous 70s idol, Candies, but for you as the top idol today, what was your impression about the song?

S: The song and the dances are really cute! It's full of cuteness.

E: When I've watched their videos, they were dancing modestly. It was like their own style, but for us ºC-ute, I think we've danced it with more energy.

M: Probably because we are younger than them. But we've tried to act cute like them. 

S: I've showed all the cuteness in me for this one. haha

- Is that shown when you say ♪Uhu~~~n ?

M: It was harder than I thought it would be. At first, I couldn't show the cuteness.

E: We had to re-take a lot of times.

S: Personally, I've tried to sing cute right from the beginning. But the director was like "More". And I was like "What? I thought I was doing my best!?". At that time, I thought I had to challenge myself more. So I've tried so hard to act cute, like seriously. haha

E: The first time when I did the ♪Aha~~n part, they've told me it wasn't girly at all. lol. They told me to act more cuter, and by the time they were satisfied with it, it was like my 8th time. lol. Towards the end, I was like "Isn't this good enough!?" haha

S: The key tone is pretty high. Where we sing "Kotoshi no Natsu wa~" it's sooo high. haha

M: When we sing the beginning part, "Shochuu omimai~" we had to use both our normal voice and our falsetto. And we had to harmonize too. 

E: It was something we couldn't sing with our normal voice. But I've tried not to use my falsetto.

- In the lyrics, there is this phrase "you can not show yourself wearing bathers to any other guy" as if a boyfriend would say.

S: It sounds youthful. lol. The girl in this song is so cute keeping the promise.

E: If I were the guy, and if I were taking my girlfriend to the beach with other mates, than I might say the same thing. lol.

S: Feeling jealously. haha

- Is there any other oldies song which you might want to cover?

E: I've sung a song with Kumai Yurina from Berryz Koubou once in a tv show, and we sang "Nagisa no Haikara Ningyo". I always wanted to sing a cover song within ºC-ute.

M: That was really cute.

S: I want to sing a cute cover song as well. Something summery!

M: I have Moritaka Chisato's album and I would like to sing that within ºC-ute because it has a lot of cute songs.

- This magazine will be published during summer holidays. Is there any bad experience about summer?

S: When I was in primary school, my mom took me to a theme park and I had lots of fun, but I had heaps of homework to do after that. haha I've finished it within 2 days, but it was tough. My hands were shaking. lol.

E: I'm not good with hotness, and there was this time when I was sleeping with less clothing and I hurt my throat.

M: When I was young, I went to the playground and went on a slide. But the slide was so hot from the heat and I almost got burnt. haha 

Few Years back, my parents took me to this theme park somewhere in the mountain. It took us few hours to get there, and when we finally got there, it started raining. lol. We've waited for about 2 hours for it to stop raining, but it didn't. But on the way home in the car, it stopped raining. lol.

- What would be your ideal "best day in summer"?

E: Festival! I want to eat around and do kingyo-sukui. 

S: Yea~ sounds nice.

E: And at the end, I'd do fireworks with my friends and eat Kakigo-ri. 

At the shop where they sell lollies, you get two if you buy one and win rock-paper-scissors with the seller. I've never lost. But I can never get to finish eating it so I give it to my friend. haha I want to win this year too!

S: I would like to go to the festival too. I want to wear Yukata, go around shops with friends, watch the fireworks, and at night I'd want to stay the night at my friend's house. And chat a lot! haha I can't stop talking about these stuff.

M: I would want to go visit my grandmother's house. It's surrounded by nature. The beach is close by too, so we used to eat squid and scallop outside. I'd like to do that again.

E: I want to do BBQ. I love when we go country side for a tour (concert). Eat lollies in the bullet-train and chat a lot. lol. And sleep. lol

S: Me too. But I always sleep after everyone else sleeps. And I wake up the first so everyone thinks that I don't sleep. I always get woken up by announcements. lol

E: Maimi is always reading books.

M: I love reading books. Even now, I have a book I've borrowed from Erika. 

At night, I sleep early. I love sleeping.

S: Chisato sleeps early too. When we talk at night, and she suddenly stops talking. That's when I know when she's fallen alseep. haha

- In this summer and autumn, you have a concert tour coming soon. I believe all the fans are looking forward to it.

M: This time we will be going to many places. I think there will be a lot of first-timers, so we are excited as well.
