There was this clip of Kaori talking about how Sayu she didn't turn up for practice and I saved the link for it intending to post it up as both of them had really interesting expressions. But ARGHS!! I somehow saved the wrong link and I can't find it again =(
I wonder if Sayusuke got a scolding for skipping practice. At that time she was still sorta new judging from their hair and outfits. She sure has guts to dare to not appear? Shouldn't it be Reina who is doing such things? She's the yankii no? XD
But I did find another clip of how she had this classic expression when the little girl said she liked AKB over MM. I loved how she did a double take. But man, that kid sure doesn't know a good thing when she sees one. It's Sayumin in the flesh!!!
Discovered a nice OPV of my favorite bunny. The creator is right, we can't hurry love. But oh how could anyone bear to not love this girl??! I would love her immediately ^^;
Did Sayu say that Eri pranced around in her underwear wearing her cute mouton boots or did she say the turtle was not dressed in any garment at all while walking around in her house wearing those boots? Either way it's omg. Literally.
Do good friends look at each other's naked bodies so comfortably?! And apparently Eri herself said that she stays over at Sayu's so often she should just move in. And what about the other members thinking that their relationship is at least a little weird?
It's pretty obvious those two share an amazing and close relationship. And as much as I hate to admit it, what the bunny and turtle have surpasses that of the bean and monkey.
Looking back at their past, I think I have a rather good idea of how these girls ended up sticking together. From the temple training audition period, the 3 didn't put in as much effort as the 5th gen when it came to practicing. My guess is, Reina went in thinking that she was gonna get picked, Sayu figured that she wasn't (due to her bad singing and two left feet dancing) while Eri was just glad that she made it this far. Afterall, she was incredibly shy then. And because they didn't go in to win, they could let their guard down and make some friends.
Right from the start, Shige gravitated towards the turtle. I think Sayu made the first move to talk to Kame, considering what an introvert she was. I bet Sayumin was the type who couldn't stand being alone for too long, thus she had to pick someone to approach and make friends. Kame was the obvious choice as Reina looked every inch the yankii with dyed hair, funky earrings and a perpetual scowl.
Since Reina was the lone wolf type who couldn't stand losing and wanted so much to be lead, it was hard to be close to her. Instead, the eczema kid + kid who was bad at everything except being blessed with a cute face and rosy complexion needed each other to feel safe. Days became months which turned into years and finally they became what we see, KameShige.
Each time I watch Eri's graduation DVD, Sayu's Homey or OPVs of them, my heart breaks and I tear a bit. It's not right that they should be broken apart like this. I know that they can still meet up or call/text each other. But it's not the same as seeing each other daily. It's terribly difficult to find someone you can click with, whom you can be yourself and act without inhibitions. They found that soul-mate in each other and I hope they never lose that beautiful relationship.
Eri: Happy birthday, Loving you forever... (I didn't expect her to say this. It touched me, I think it did the same to Sayusuke)
Sayumi: I realize I won't be able to do things or go to places because Eri was there (This turned on the waterworks. I think life would have been worth living if you met someone like this.)
Thank you for an amazing OPV KuteKim. Please don't give up on MM.
Found a fic featuring Eri and a Kpop boy band member. I don't usually like to see the girls paired with other people outside of MM but surprisingly, I wasn't put off by this story. In fact I find it quite believable and enjoyable to read. Watching the trailer which was made for it by one of the readers of the fic, I'm both in awe and ashamed that I could never produce something of such good quality =(
I hope to discover more FICs with Kame, Gaki, Ai and Sayumi. K4 saikou always!
And I miss the turtle! How are you getting along these days Eririn? I want you back in idol world! Actress, singer or model. Anything! Just please come back soon =(...
I didn't make this awesome OPV. It was MessyCookie's work and I thought it was beautiful. So beautiful that more AiGaki fans should see and appreciate it. This vid never fails to touch me and make me tear. The song, feelings that have put into singing it, the lyrics and the visuals. Everything came together to make the most enchanting OPV I have seen in a long while.
Couple with the best AiGaki pics in recent times, this post is all about MM's best couple.
Too many crappy things have been happening in the world and in life. And since I dread tomorrow as well, I need loads of Ai-chan and Gaki-san to cheer me up. Aren't these pictures just so great?
Ai is definitely gorgeous. I can't find a single flaw on her perfect face. Pity Risa's page wasn't uploaded too. It would be nice to print these out on photo quality paper.
Awww, intwined hands. So sweet :) The bean is just as pretty as the monkey for once :P
I like how they both supported their faces with their hands. Does this proof that a couple in love does the same actions? :D
I wanna hug the photographer for getting these two to lie back to back and take this shot. I LOVE IT! It would make a great drama or movie poster. Gosh, I would do anything to get Mr and Mrs Niigaki in a good show together. Both their smiles are so beautiful. I could stare at these pics all day and night and day and nite :)
And tee hee hee at the tiny pics of them playing a fool :D Don't they look so happy and blissful? So adorable, so cute, so AiGaki *wink*
I think this is the rough translation of Nanku Monka.
Or maybe it's 'Ain't gonna cry.' Whichever it is, it's almost as if Eri chose this song for a reason. I can't help but wonder if she had made the decision to leave before the 'Rokkies Dinner Show 2010' event. And whether the other members knew. What about Sayumi? Her closest friend in the group. Did she keep it from her too?
I really feel that she was singing this song to herself. And maybe to the fans as well. Especially after knowing what the lyrics mean *sobs* It's so heartbreaking. I just wanna bawl my eyes out. And I already did many times before.
In my opinion, the original Naku Monka by Ikimonogakari can't compare to the turtle's version :P Maybe it's because I prefer ballads, which her version happens to be, accompanied by a sole piano. *Sigh* It was beautiful. So beautifully rendered that I can't put in words how much I love it.
Eririn sang with so much emotion and her voice was incredible throughout the song. I can't bear to think about the days after 12 December 2010.
This OPV by the ever amazing Sukoshi-chan breaks my heart. Admire the pictures, understand the lyrics and listen with your heart. I can tell you with certainty that you will fall in love with the gentleness of the girl named Kamei Eri all over again. Because I did.
