Alohello 4 ~ A Preview

All these pics I saved from AA's blog so gomen for stealing them off you :P Oh and thank you for always updating so quickly and providing so much info. I check it daily ^^

Ok, now for the previews to MM's Alohello 4 PB. I have to say, I was excited when I heard the news. I always preferred group PBs, much more than solo ones cuz I liked to see interaction between the girls. I was a little sad that Alohello 3 didn't get one as well. But no matter, cuz now we have this :D

Some thoughts about the leaked pics.

Yeah outfits: Risa, Aika, Sayu

Maybes: Lin Lin, Eri, Ai

Meh outfits: Reina, Jun Jun

I found it funny that only Ai and Reina got heels while everyone else had flat slippers? Were they trying to differentiate the leads from the rest?

Only Ai and Sayu look good here. And Aika has gotten really thin hasn't she? Is a solo PB in the works or something hence the slimming down? I can't even tell if Reina's eyes are open? XD This better not be a shot in the book.

Unfortunately, this picture is even worse than the previous one? I have to be honest despite being a fan. Most of the girls don't look flattering here. The only thing I liked was Ai's hair and that head band (?) thingy she's wearing.

Now, this pic, is a winner! Splitting them into 5kkies and 6kkies is a fab idea. Having TakaGaki together is awesome! Risa has gotten some boobs but lost her amazing abs? :( At least her hair isn't so badly styled here. Needless to say, leader is pretty, she always is.

I thought it was strange that the mood and feel of this photo is so dark? Seems not really in tune to the sun and sea theme of the Alohello series? I hate to say this considering I'm a Mame fan, but I think Ai looks better here. There is just something strange about Risa's expression? It's as if physically she's there but her mind isn't?

No complains here. I like the green float. Makes me imagine that they are the bean's arm wrapped around her waist :P

I can't decide if I like this pic or not.

Ranking:

1) Bunny

2) Kitty

3) Turtle

I myself can't believe that I put Reina before Eri! But that's how it is, Reina has the better hair and bikini. And Sayu is love :)

Cute smile. Reminds me of when she just started out. This beam is almost exactly the same as the one in her 6kkie Hello Hello PB.

Is it just me or is Reina in a bad mood? :P She doesn't look very pleased? Oh cheer up gal, you look great! There is no need to be unhappy about anything XD

I think I bashed more of the pics than I praised them? ^^; But I'll still get it in the end. How could I give a current MM PB a miss? I adore them too much.

My Dream MM World

Every once in a while, I recall Koharu in her Ameba solo vid talking about what the different MM members are like to her. And it sets me thinking, what would I like to see each girl as in my life? After pondering for some time, the sort of relationships I came up with are like so...

Risa is my goddess right? But precisely because of this, I can't think of her as someone on very good terms with me. I keep thinking that if I knew her personally to a really close level, I would probably be driven mad by her constant nagging and bossiness XD Thus I would prefer for her to put her skills to good use. She can be the class monitor or student council president :D The person I look up to and admire and possibly have a crush on :P

Now Eri here, is a little problematic. I couldn't decide if I wanted her as a friend or a family member. As a pal, she would definitely make me laugh, but as a sibling, I think I'll adore her so much that I would never want to be away from her :D Although she is gonna be the most loved kid as my sister, I wouldn't mind, cuz currently my sister is more loved anyway XD Besides, with Kame, I'm sure we will get along just fine since we both have messy rooms. Also, being the lazy cutie she is, I won't be the only lazy one to the parents ^^;

There is no question that I would choose Sayu as the best friend. I mean, she's perfect as one. She keeps the schedule, she cleans up the mess, she keeps your secrets, she loves you unconditionally (she has wiped Eri's mucus from her nose for her @@ ), she runs the bath, gives a hell of a massage and she's awesome eye candy to boot! What's there not to like right? And if I ever fall in love with her, at least I know she can like girls too :P

Leader will be the neighbour that I can't help but stare at whenever she comes home or leaves the house (sounds creepy I know XD). She's the beautiful girl next door who has this mysterious air about her that makes you wanna know more. I think my favourite place in the house with a neighbour like that would be the balcony :D

Reina is the girl who sits all the way at the back of the class, emos / puts on a 'don't mess with me face 24/7' and is someone I won't make the first move to speak with. She will most probably be a loner or be the leader of some girl gang XD I'll take notice of her, but only cuz I'm in awe of her attitude and looks :P

This is going to be shocking but I want Aika as my mother XD I have really good reasons for this. Firstly, she is smart, and she cooks well. Doesn't she bring all kinds of nifty food to practice? And then she doesn't seem like the type to yell and go all ballistic when she's mad. Hence, little Aika is perfect as a mom (^_^) I feel she'll be really nurturing and supportive to her kids.

Lin Lin can be my other neighbour. I won't be oogling her XD but she can be my buddy for going out to try new food. She also seems fun and easy going and that's definitely good neighbour material. I can't stand having neighbours who I can't get along or be on good terms with.

Jun Jun will be the foreign exchange student in class. The one who I try to befriend cuz it's only nice but won't be too close with XD

This life can't beat Koharu's crazy version of having KameMame as divorced parents (cuz papa was sick of mama feeding the kids with combini food XD) with Risa marrying Ai later. I think her real sister is Airi and stepsis is Reina? (the sibling whom mama Ai brought with her). I can't really remember what roles the rest had but yup, this is definitely fanfic material, LOL. I wonder how Koharu came up with it. A lot of times I wish I could see inside her head? The stuff this girl thinks about is nuts but definitely interesting :D

AmaNatsu ~ The Sweetest Summer

Out of the 4 PBs that Risa has till now, I think this one is possibly my fave. Or maybe it's Happy Girl? Hmmmm, I can never decide between these two. Anyway, AmaNatsuあま夏 released on 25 June 2006 is her second and the one where you see her having the greatest change. Her first was taken when she was obviously still a kid. But in this one you can see her transformation into a young woman.

The Front & Back Cover

I realized that I have never included the back cover of the numerous PBs that I have blogged about? Isn't it strange I could completely forget about that? XD

10th

I like eveything in this picture. From the green wooden windows, the gold taps, the sink to the white dress Risa is wearing. I always said she looked good in white. And that smile is too cute. It has a slight element of mischievousness in it :)

9th

The bright red bikini is distracting? Not in a good way cuz I find it looks too big? XD But her pose of holding the mikan is adorable. So is her pouty lips.

8th

If there is one thing about Gaki-san's PBs that I think always looks good, its her close-up shots. There is something extremely attractive about her face. I can't put my finger on what it is so I'll go with 'when all her features are placed together, they just look good.' :D

7th

White bikini!!! Yay~! And the design of this one is different from the kinds she usually wears, so this picture makes it on the list ^^

6th

Awww, adorable cute as a button omame. Look at that radiant smile. I agree with Eri on this, Risa really does have a great smile.

5th

Another close up. It won't be the last you see of these :P Not only does she have a gorgeous face, she has a to die for profile as well. Look for yourself!

4th

This picture screams kawaii doesn't it? The shoes must be huge to be larger than her face. But then again, Sayu has mentioned countless times on her blog what a small face the bean has.

3rd

Just the right amount of blusher, the perfect dose of lip gloss, the cutest nose and the most mesmerizing eyes.

2nd

This photo represents summer really well huh? The wind, the sun and how lucky we all are to have Gaki-san exist in this dreary world :P

1st

Peek-a-boo! I see you XD You can imagine how small in size she is to be able to have one towel cover her completely like this. I bet it's really nice to hug her :D

Isshun ~ That Moment in Time

It's really sad for me to say this but Gaki-san has the least number of PBs out of all the 56kkies. I guess UFA can't be completely blamed for this since as a company looking to make profits, why would they release something that won't have a high sales volume right? Although I don't know the exact numbers, judging from the H!P official stores sales ranking, it's obvious my fave MM girl doesn't enjoy good figures.

But at least Risa's getting her 5th PB soon in July this year so as a mame fan, I'm just happy for this news. Hence to celebrate, I'm gonna write an entry on all her PBs so far. I already did one on Happy Girl so just 3 more to go :)

The Cover

Isshun 一瞬 released on 27 May 2007 is her third solo publication.

10th

I didn't expect the first pic in this list to be a bikini shot XD But don't worry as most of the remaining 9 pictures has her clothed :P I'm pretty sure the reason for choosing this one was due to her hair. I always thought wet hair looked great.

9th

Is it just me or does Risa not look like herself here? She looks really young and her expression is conveying something I can't exactly capture. Is she sad? Or is she contemplating something?

8th

That's right, this is a foot. Not just any foot though but Gaki-san's. And I'm not being biased here by saying it looks cute. It does doesn't it? :D I love how she has it perched on the toes of her other leg XD Simply adorable. And having her feet covered with a layer or sand just makes it even cuter :)

7th

If I recall correctly, this outfit is one of my faves in the book. And I like how she is doing the simple action of looking down. There aren't any other props and whatever stuff yet it's still taken beautifully.

6th

I don't deny Risa looks fabulous in this white bikini. I think white is really her color :P But once again, it's the expression. Or else I would have chosen a full body shot which showed off more of her...um...yeah ^^;

5th

Awww the corals are so pretty. So are her fingernails. I was never a fan of the outrageous designs that she loves to paint on thus this is a nice change.

4th

Sleeping Risa. You know she looks good like this. Don't try to say otherwise :P I wonder what Ai thinks whenever she sees the sleeping omame. Does she find her lips kissable? XD

3rd

This picture feels extremely surreal to me for some reason. It's as if she doesn't need to worry about other things and can just lose herself in the moment.

2nd

Kame also has a shot like this which I love in her Maple PB. I don't know why I'm attracted to them ^^:

1st

This sounds familiar so I think I've said it before for Eri's PB XD But I'm gonna complement the sun and how it falls on Risa here. Her eye peeking through her nice tousled brown hair + resting her thumb on her lips = ultra sexy. It's not sleazy but its more of a 'I'm not trying overly hard to be sexy but I just am' way. *fans self*

PS: Special thanks to the person who scanned and uploaded this PB. Arigatou!
