Only You Solo PVs

Before I start on the post proper, just lemme say this. I SAW THOSE BUNNY EAR AIPHONE 4 COVERS THAT RISA AND HER IMOUTO (or was it imotou?) OWNS! I wouldn't bought it but I had to keep reminding myself I don't have an Aiphone 4 =( Fortunately I managed to prevent myself from buying something I couldn't use at all. BUT I still ended up buying something. As if I have any use for a Stitch Aiphone lanyard thingy. GAH! *slaps self*

Finally started to watch the solo PVs of Only You. And I have to say...although Gaki-san was so darn cute in the original PV, those who aren't diehard fans should really not watch her solo angle ^^; It's not that it wasn't good, but she just wasn't as stunning? I wonder why =(

Ai's was as expected, good. This woman just oozes attitude and smexiness =P I loved her little head flick right at the end of the video. And although her hair colour screams hay, it strangely doesn't look hay-like. It was actually kinda nice though somewhat poofy. I know some fans aren't exactly taken by leader's short blond look. But hey, she'll be the best looking JE member on the block no? Hee.

Unfortunately I hadn't gotten around to watching Sayu's. And I didn't even manage to download Reina's to the end. Talk about being annoyed. Then I had to discover stuff that I wanted wasnt there but other stuff I didn't want was. Man was I irritated. Good thing you actually replied when I sent you a message. I was surprised cuz I didn't expect you to. I'll "Ren" two more days like you said. You gotta message me then okay? Or I'll just die!!! Lol, I'm being dramatic xD

Someone told me to go YouTube to watch videos and I did. But I always ended up searching for mm related vids ^^; I'm too much of a Momusu lover to pay attention to anything else. And another someone asked me to go watch XXXX concert but noooo. My heart remains with MM. I might attend XXXX's (coincidentally it's a four letter name too) though that's only a MIGHT. And I don't even know if this four letter name group will visit this country.

I'm quite satisfied with today though last night was an absolute horror. Good thing that's over now. I hope it doesn't return. Yep, please don't =(

So I was watching MM solo angles and some old clips and I can't help but think of Eri. Gah! I miss the turtle. I wanna know what sort of hair she would have in Only You. Or if she has experimented on a new shade of brown. What fashion style is she into recently. And if she has stumbled upon a new craze. *sobs* Kame! Come back?

To think I named this blog Mame and Friends yet I think the majority of my posts involve Eri ^^; It's okay though huh? Cuz KAMEMAMEHA wouldnt mind this.

Tomorrow and Sat will be long days again. Tuesday come on! And MM DX con DVD come on too =D

An Idol's Influence

Hands up all of you who have seen an accessory or clothing that your idol have worn and wanted to own it as well. I know I've thought that numerous times. And because my idols are living in Japan, it gets even more exciting when I stumble upon the exact same item they have used either in their photo books, blogs, live performances, pv, tv shows and the like. If it were their own choice to purchase those objects, the feeling of owning the same design piece as them makes me incredibly happy. I know, I know, I'm just insane.

Case in point, after seeing Sayu wear those neon rubber wristbands in a pic on her blog, I immediately bought them when I saw them being sold at a store. They come in various design themes of band, dinosaurs, cowboy, etc and even kitty-chan! Later, Ai also wore them during one of the recent H!P concerts. And boy was I gleeful to discover that. Pity Gaki-san didn't wear them as well. KameShige wore gold plated necklaces with their names for some time. I can't recall if Risa had a similar one. Anyhoo, I made a silver one with the turtles's name ^^; It doesn't look as nice though. Probably without such a beautiful wearer, anything won't look as pretty.

I went "I know where to get that!" When I saw Ai-chan wearing Q-pot's Peace Chocolate "Pray for Japan" band. I'm still wondering if I should have gotten it then. And I've also come across something similar to that blue beads bracelet that she is so fond of wearing. What about her Marc by Marc Jacobs "Lips" Iphone 3 cover?

Recently her sis bought herself and Risa matching iphone 4 covers. Those are so darn cute with bunny ears and that tail XD Pity mine is 3GS and not iphone 4 =(

Leader fans are lucky cuz she puts up all the brands of her regular 'my coordinate' series. That makes it easier for fans to buy the stuff she has. Pity that many of those brands aren't available where I live.

Apparently AiGaki got somewhat matching purses with a letter printed on the outside of the material. By right Risa should get R and Ai A. But the ultra adorable Ai-chan felt that the letter A wasn't cute/nice and decided on G instead. Isn't that just so cute?!?!? It's kinda suspicious why she didn't choose any other letter and got G. Hmmmm, maybe she wanted her purse to remind her of Gaki-san =D

I'm pretty sure that are other items that I have come across or own that are same as the MM girls but I can't remember what they are ^^; Oh yes! I can't decide which pair of Converse sneakers to buy. Sayu has a light cream, light blue and red ones. Eri has white. Ai has gray? I think. Hmmm what does Risa have? XD Time to flip through all the photo books to make my decision, lol.

Ai-chan went to London!!! I think besides Eri who has been to Canada and Ai's recent trip to visit 2 very lucky H!P fans, oh yes, and her LA photo book shoot, I don't think the rest of the MM members got to travel solo to a more "exotic" country so to speak. Guam, Hawaii, France, Shanghai, Korea, Taiwan aren't counted as most of the girls got to go as well. I wonder when they will come here. We have okay beaches too? And some weird tourist locations XD

A Bean's Infatuation

When I first saw Risa dressed in that dog (?) suit I thought it was for some MM event. It's only today that I realized she did it for Nacchi. It's almost crazy, but it also shows how much she loves her senpai. I never understood how or why she is so enamored by this particular senior. Was Abe her idol right from the start? And that infatuation had lasted all through her days in MM with her and even up to now? Had Nacchi been that kind and nice to Gaki which caused her love for the older woman to span over ten years? To tell the truth, I had ever suspected that the bean's open show of affection for the once face of MM was just a way of gaining more fans. But today, I'm convinced that it's possible to like a person this much. And it's also possible to keep giving and not expect anything in return. I'm sorry for not trusting your feelings Risa-chan. I have been a bad fan.

Her hair looks so Korean now. The color and the style both looks like something a Korean celebrity will have. But I prefer it on Risa. Maybe I'm biased but I really think so. Why did you have to go to Disney Sea? It's almost as if her blog entries are mocking me. Is that your regular nail artist? You must be on really good terms to go to the themepark with her. Somehow, I'm envious of such a relationship. At first I thought Risa draped a towel over herself and wondered why was she so crazy inside Disney Sea. Could she really be so nuts about the place? Then I realized that blue garment was really a jacket. Silly and blind me.

That picture of her with her sister. It looks a lot like Mr and Mrs Niigaki doesn't it. If only it was. That would have been sweet.

After seeing Maimi's latest solo DVD cover, I'm surprised her hairstyle is still a short one. I thought most Japanese girls preferred long hair. And so did their fans. Why did the C-ut(i)e leader decide to go against the norm? Was she influenced by Ai-chan? Who also looks incredible with a short length. And I don't remember Maimi ever dying her hair brown. If so, she, Airi and Sayumi are one of the few left who stuck with black hair. The look good like this. But I can't help but wonder if they would be even more stunning with dyed/highlighted locks.

Happy Birthday...

To my country...

She might not be perfect, but she's still wonderful in so many ways.
Thank you for being my home.

After being patriotic, it's time to talk about MM. First up is Ai-chan's hair. She dyed it red I think. And permed it as well. Strangely it looks pretty good. I guess anything will look good on this girl. With those oversized plastic frames on her face, she looks like a Kpop boyband member. If I were to like any of those guys, it will only happen if leader was a real boy in one of those groups.

Recently Gaki has a liking for putting up blog pics with the 4 section effect. Does it look familiar? That's because Ai uses that effect a lot. I'm positive the bean "imitated" her wifey in that aspect. I'm totally agreeable since they look way better than the blue ghostly effect shots Risa used to post. What can I say, it's obvious Mrs Niigaki is the more artistic of the pair.

Speaking of the wife, I'm highly anticipating her Guam photobook. The previous few entries shows her in an awesome looking dress and that headband thingy which makes her look beautiful. Lucky manager-san for being able to be so near her and to have the privilege of taking her private and candid photos. I want to be a MM manager too! I'll be glad to slave away for AiGakiSayu. Eri too if she were still in the group.

Only You/Maji Desu Ka?!

I realized I have not written anything about MM's 46th single when I like it a lot. I should have gone to find what the lyrics mean yet I hadn't. But the title sounds like it should be a love song about liking just that one person? Maybe.

I love the costume and the shoes. Open toe boots look awesome on them since they have such pretty nails. And the 5 older members got dresses while the 9th gen got shorts. The skirts look way better. Very feminine. Gaki was smoking hot IMO. The way she braided a bit of her hair is so adorable. And as usual those lips make me wanna... =P Why couldnt she have this hair for her Mahalo pb? Funnily I find that Sayu's hair started to grow on me after watching the pv n times when I didn't like how it looked at first. And her dancing seemed good! Did she improve or did the editor do a good job of cutting out her better moments? Ai was darn cool. Her smile at the end of the vid stunned me and gave me goosebumps. I can't quite explain what that smile meant but it was too great. I didn't notice that the background color switched between red and white. Guess I was staring at the girls too much.

Can't remember if I ever blogged about 45th so I shall just talk a bit about it here. The outfits remind me of NCK and Gaki-san's looks the most normal to wear out. Pity that her hair for the pv was that chicken style one and not those she had for lives cuz they were so much prettier. The song was meh to me in the beginning. But since I knew that for Tsunku creations, it will never be a fall in love at first listen thing, I gave it more chances. And sure enough, the song grew. Of course the pv helped a lot since the girls were funny and cute. Most memorable moments have got to be Ai's jump across the screen, Sayu's cleavage and Gaki's dumbo wide beams.
