Happy 22th Birthday Eririn~!

Even though Eri is no longer in MM, it doesn't mean I will stop wishing her happy birthday on my blog. To coincide with her 22th, I've ranked my top 10 photos from her 'Sweet' pb.

I remember not liking the angle of her head on the cover :P But the white lacy bikini was very nice though the bottom seemed slightly loose? XD Those abs were woah.... Kame always had the best body ^^;

Cover

Back

10th

It's all in her eyes...though I won't deny that the black bikini helped too ^^:

9th

I can so imagine her out on a date with her gf, who happens to be Sayu or OD XD And they were quietly staring at her while she admires something in the store window :D

8th

Who knew purple bikinis could be so attractive. And again it's in her expression. This time she looks as though she is saying "I can be a rebel too. I can be just as good a S as I can be M." :P

7th

OH MY GAH! I think Sayu's mind would explode if she saw Eririn lying on the bed like this next to her. Then again, I think anyone would be unable to resist.

6th

How is it that she can have such beautiful eyes? I'm sure the make up helped :P But she is already naturally beautiful.

5th

Is it a coincidence that half of these 10 photos have her in a bikini? XD But she does look good!!

4th

Ahhh this one. I had it as my Aiphone wallpaper sometime this year. And I remember BS asking if it were GakiKame XD Does the turtle bean bag duo look alike?

3rd

NOOOOOOOOO. Having your fingers anywhere near your mouth is a big no-no! It makes people think weird :(

2nd

If I have to name one body part of Eri which I love, it has got to be her abs. Imagine if I had this picture as my laptop wallpaper and sat at a cafe or coffee place and people walked passed when I happened to minimize my windows. Woah.... XD

1st

That green towel is so darn lucky! I don't mind being an inanimate object. For example....that towel? XD I love her hair in this pb. As well as her perfect figure? Oh, I should also mention how her eyes and lips and nose are ultra adorable too.

Kamei Eri pbs are definitely worth collecting :D

AiGaki Duet ~ LA・LA・LA Love Song

There was a time when a drama called 'Long Vacation' was a huge hit everywhere. And when I say everywhere I mean in a lot of Asian countries. *Sigh* I miss the days when Jdramas and Jpop was all the rage. Unlike now..which is the K something era :(

Anyway, I liked this drama and loved the song. Now that AiGaki sang it, I love it even more! I can so envision Ai being the female lead in the drama with Gaki being the male one? Since the girl was older than the guy in terms of age :P And the bean does sound lower than her wifey in it.

I WANNA SEE AIGAKI IN A DRAMA TOGETHER DAMNIT! A LOVE THEMED ONE. With each other as the person they like please. No 3rd parties to be involved XDD

Oooh and I must say I am so in love with the part where Ai-chan raps. Well, I think it can be considered a rap. Listen out for from 20 sec onwards. Man, I love this. Did I say I love it?? Lol, yeah I do love it so so muchie!! :D

Gaki-san's husky voice and Ai's clear one blends so well together no? Ahhhhh, I think I can go to bed with a smile tonight :)

PS: Thanks to AA for uploading these. Arigatou~~

Wed 15 December 2010

Ahhhh...the day finally came. The sad day that Kamei Eri will no longer be in Morning Musume. I guess I also feel sad about JunLin's departure, but no one can replace Eri in my heart. She was so goofy and made me laugh all the time. Not to mention how I always found her so perfect in various ways. She was cute, beautiful, sensitive, sweet, kind and had the most gorgeous figure within MM imo :P I also feel that she brought out the best in Gaki-san as well as Sayumin. And I love how she manages to make Ai-chan play along with her in the most ridiculous ways :) *Sigh* I'll miss you Eririn. *tears*

Since this post is about the best turtle in the world, I'll talk about her solo album. Solo album, that sounds so awesome doesn't it? Pity UFA didn't produce an actual hard copy CD for her. I wish they did. I would so buy it. Selling the songs on Recochoku and Itunes doesn't really do the girls justice? I remember I also wished for Ai to get a real CD when she released 'Yume Kara Samete.'

Consisting of 9 songs, the album is titled 'Hello! Cover.' I don't know why I kept reading the last 2 words as baka XD

The tracklist is as follows:

1) Manatsu no Kousen

I'm surprised she chose this song. Old school Musume is something that I haven't been listening to for a while. Gaki-san sang this before and I liked her version more than the original :P So I guess it's no surprise that I like Eri's more as well? ^^; I get the whole summer-y feel when I listen to this :) And the image of OGs playing in the swimming pool appears in my mind. UFA should go back to shooting such videos. It isn't expensive to do yet is fun and healthy.

2) Furusato

Again, Risa sang this too. Is GakiKame trying to be funny here? XD Because there are quite a number of songs which both the turtle bean bag pair tried out. I quite like this song, though it starts to get boring after a while ^^; Ai-chan also sang this before. Coincidence much? I like all 3 versions. Or maybe I just like anything these 3 sing? :P Eri's voice sounds really gentle here. I like.

3) Koi Wo Shichaimashita!

Now this song, I'm a fan of. I loved it in the past and it's a nice surprise to hear it again after forgetting about it for so long. A bouncy, happy song that make me wanna clap along and do the woo hoo pose :D But maybe this is more suited as a group song than sang by a single person?

4) Seinaru Kane ga Hibiku Yoru

I think I prefer Risa's to Eri's? Not that Kame didn't sing this well. In fact I put it on repeat for a long time. Maybe the bean has a more "rich" and mature voice that goes with the feel of this song better? The would Xmas sensation just pours out when Risa sings.

5) Egao ni Namida ~ Thank You! Dear My Friends ~

Not much feeling towards this one. It's still nice but I'd much prefer Egao or another one of Aya's ballads. For example '100 Kai no Kiss' was good? Still, it was a good attempt? The chorus was especially catchy :)

6) LOVE Namida Iro

Yippee!!! This is one of those classic Ayaya songs and I'm a big fan of it. Isn't it really weird that Risa sang this too? In the 2006 H!P Wonderful Heart Concert. I found Gaki really gorgeous in this perf. Oops, why am I praising Mame when this is supposed to be a Kame related entry :P

7) Koi no Hana

I'm not making this up. Risa sang this too XDD Hmmm sad to say I'm not a fan of this song no matter who sings it ^^;

8) Onegai Miwaku no Target

No idea what the lyrics mean but this is one heck of a awesome song. I loved it when Melon Kinenbi sang it so no prizes for knowing that I would adore the Eri version. Now I have the urge to sing this out at a KTV lol.

9) Kousui

Another Melon song. Also very nice and suits her voice.

Awwww Eri. You make me wanna cry when I hear you sing this *sniff* All 4 girls were good in this rendition. But I think GakiKame were slightly better than the bunny? :P

Come back soon Kame! I'll be waiting for your return as an actress :)

Cover Songs by GakiKame

GakiKame desu~! XD Okay, that has no relation to anything but I just wanted to shout it out :P

I have liked this song by Tanpopo since a long time ago. But I didn't expect it to sound just as good with only one person singing. The title in English is 'the night the holy bell rings' and there is a line in it about illumination aka Xmas lights. This immediately reminded me of that pic on Gaki's blog where AiGaki were standing under some beautiful lights in the street. I think the bean wrote that she asked Ai to go admire the lights with her? Or was it the other way round? Whichever it may be, I'm just glad they went together. The whole image of it is just incredibly romantic to me. Personally I think it would be an awesome experience to walk with the person you like while soaking in the Xmas season :)

Another line, 'may love last forever', I truly hope it is what happens for Mr and Mrs Niigaki :P

聖なる金がひびく夜

For Kame's solos, I have not heard all of them. Out of the 3, I like them in this order. I thank the person who uploaded them otherwise I would not be able to hear them at all. Ojou 3 + Rika sang this before for one of the old H!P concerts and I loved it. I even showed it to a friend who isn't into H!P. And she agreed it was good. She could have been patronizing me but I'm still happy to hear that comment ^^;

香水

A classic Ayaya song. One which I used to play to death. So imo, it's another great choice by the turtle ^_^

LOVE涙色

Ahhhh this song. This one gives me mixed feelings. Risa sang it on 'Hello Pro Hour'. I thought it was just okay? But she did look gorgeous in it so I think that made me like it a lot more :P

恋の花

I'm probably gonna get ignored for the next few days or scolded for writing this but you 2 idiots! Go see a f***ing doctor already! I'm so damn pissed that you gals are so freaking stubborn/disobedient. Take a couple of days MC, stay at home and rest so you can recover fast. Why put yourself through needless torture? And don't tell me there isn't a need to visit the doc, you won't recover fast anyway etc. Follow the damn instructions strictly and you'll be good to go in no time. Don't throw this back at me cuz it's not the same scenario.

I wish I could tie you 2 to the bed and make sure you eat proper meals of the right food and medication. And no! I didn't mean it in a hentai way XD

And to you overseas person you (the one who told me that the weather is getting unpredictable and many people are falling sick), if you are also unwell, you better take better care of yourself or I'm gonna scold you too.

AHHHHHHHHHH, I'm so annoyed...

Your Song...Eri's Song...

Your Song ~ Oath of Youth

This was originally a Aya song. I don't have the translation of the lyrics (or maybe I do since I have her album somewhere) but I have a feeling Eri is singing this to herself? Sigh, every time I think that it might still be okay even though she's graduating, something like this comes up.

Maybe it's due to my mood, maybe it's cuz of the stupid flu, or maybe because I'm being affected by something that's not even related to me. Whatever it is, listening to Eri sing makes me tear. her voice is so soft and touching. It really suits this song.

Things will never be the same again. I can't imagine what it will be like if the rest graduate too. I don't think I can take it? Now I don't want to watch the graduation concert. I know the others will cry like mad and I will too.

I love this picture of her. Isn't she so sweet and pretty? I wonder if it's from the 'Friday' magazine. They should have included this instead of the other white dress photo.

Ever imagined what a winter spent with her will be like? It must be nice.

Rival Survival concert pic. Ame is so lucky to be able to watch it. The last MM concert with the turtle...sigh

Seishun Collection. Kame along with Ai-chan looks the best in that pv. Kawaii Kame-chan. I love her little fang, her eyes, her hair, the way she smiles etc. In short everything about her.

She makes anything look good by wearing it. The perfect face and figure. Just like Ai. Sayumi loses out a little cuz of her slightly lanky frame, but that girl is beautiful too. Awww it's alright Gaki-san. Although you may not be as pretty, I still like you loads. You're special to me.

I don't even know why I'm blogging when I should be rushing out work needed on Monday morning. In fact I blogged a lot today? Maybe blogging about MM takes my mind off things? I need a new brain and body! The ones I have are too lousy. They keep malfunctioning XD I wanna be a robot. Robot Ham sounds good XD Then I won't be able to feel anything.

Bijou Gaku #35 ~ Fortune Telling + Foot Massage

I thought there were going to eat Korean food. And the C-ute girls had to leave as the restaurant served alcohol? But it turned out that it was a fortune telling session. And yep, I know that if you are under a certain age you aren't allowed to read your future.

I love how Ai-chan seems so unwilling at 1:26 min. Does she hate to reveal her age? She really isn't that old at all. And she definitely looks much younger. Can't say the same about someone I know haiz. Risa's writing made me realize once again how pretty she is.

Gaki-san has such kiddish handwriting. I would have thought a child wrote those words :P Okay this part is interesting. Apparently those born in the rat or boar years during Summer and Winter would be good rivals to her? Huh?! I don't get it. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong and it doesn't mean that at all? I need a translation!

Ai again has a cute expression on at 2:47 min. I wonder what she is thinking at that point. I grinned when she laughed out at 2:56 min. And she touched her head again. Her infamous habit. Kawaii ne. Did she lose weight? Ai's face seems thinner. I hope she has been getting enough rest. But I have to say she looks really good.

AiGaki has huge reactions when they heard that Ai should try for the MC route. I know she fumbles but who said a good MC can't fumble? She could be those hosts whose characteristic is to be cute and dorky. And somehow I think she would succeed in the end. She just needs more confidence in herself.

Ai's eyes widened so much at 4:35 min. I wonder what the fortune teller said. I love how she looked at Mr Niigaki after that. The way she looks at people is always so... I don't know how to describe it. It's just nice how she does it. And then they both mess with their hair :) With Ai's getting more messed up ^^; And she said "I'm sorry" at 4:56 min!!! It was so cute!! Her tone and all :)

Yay for linked arms at 5:32 min. And Ai went to touch the woman's cheek XD Kawaii!!!

I know that's supposed to be some sort of herbs that they are boiling? But it feels like soup to me. I would have gone to drunk it if no one told me it wasn't for drinking ^^; Poor Gaki looks so bored while sitting on the thing to be boiled XD

LOL at 8:03 min when they started pointing at each other. I think they were hoping that they didn't have to go through with the foot reflexology. They should all try it. It's quite a nice feeling.

And they messed up their hair again at 8:54 min XD Is it really true that when people spend more time together they end up following each other's actions and habits? They barely started the game and Ai lost already? XDDD Awwww, the way she falls to the floor and how Risa patted her head makes me go all mushy inside :)

From 9:16 min on is pure gold. Omg, thank you so much AG for making me smile. I really needed that. The return of the baka and aho XDDD 10:27 min, look at how Ai rests her hand on the TV and her hip. It's cute! Hearing Risa go "Ai-chan~~" at 10:16 min made me happy :D

Ehhhh?! Wait a sec. How is it that the woman can massage feet now? You mean she wasn't the fortune teller? Why do they look alike then? @@ Lol at Ai-chan yelling her head off about the pain while Gaki didn't even flinch XD Ai's xin jo OHHHHHHH!!! at 11:16 min was XDDD The way she contorted her body and her face was adorable to me. And her posture in the chair too. She sank so low, lol, with her arms so rigid by her side. It must have really hurt ^^; Sigh, why are you so cute in so many ways? Why can't the dumb bean see it too? :(

44th Promo Music Jump + Solo Ver.

The first time I saw their 'Music Jump' perf I had to do it without sound. The dance moves weren't that great but with the music, it wasn't so bad. I wish MM could have more live music shows to go on. I feel indignant that they never get the opportunity to show people what they can do. Granted, this song probably wouldn't be the best choice but who knows right? You won't know the results until you try.

Bonus points go to leader for the self touching at 0:59 min. Ai seems to do it often ne? Not that I have any complains :P

Sayumi's messy hair at 1:08 min and 1:27 min for the win! This bunny takes my breath away at the most unexpected moments. There have been quite a few times when I just look at her and think, "wow, she's gorgeous." And whenever they do that move where they spread their legs I just go @@ Oh gawd, stop making people think wrong Sayu! ^^;

I've noticed that Reina likes to have a clip in her hair recently. Or has it been there all along but I've missed it till now?

Gaki's hair looks somewhat dry. Has she not been conditioning it? Or is it that she doesn't have the extra time since she spends all her free time out of work eating a particular someone XD

For once I didn't find Risa overdoing her moves. In fact, Jun Jun appeared to be the member dancing the hardest. Did sub-leader decide to tone down so that the graduating members could have more airtime before they leave? Or perhaps she is just too tired after "eating" a delicious meal the night before :P

The balloon prop hanging in the middle of the stage is so distracting. It's way too big and looks like it will drop down at any second. Dangerous ne. It reminds me of my fic where I wrote about the stage lights malfunctioning lol. Speaking of that, I feel terrible for not updating MGR. Sigh, no inspiration and no mood makes it hard to write.

Gosh, I actually didn't have anything to say about Kame. What happened?!?! Gomene to Aika and Lin Lin too :(

Solo Versions

Ai-chan

Woah...all that self touching @@ Ai definitely is the most expressive of them all. Her facial expressions and body language beats everyone hands down. I'm talking about the good ones so Risa, even though you also have a lot of actions usually, your wife still wins XD Strangely, I find myself staring at leader's lips a lot. I wonder why. And I'm gonna imagine that these are what she does whenever she wants to get her hubby to eat her :P Her ears are so big and cute!!! A perfect spot for Mr Niigaki to kiss I suppose :P

Mame

Your hair is like hay!!! Lol, but it's still nice hay. Cuz I still think it looks good. And why are you smirking? Are you pleased that you are always on top? XDDD Is there something very interesting to your right? Why do you tend to face that direction more? Ahhh I know! Maybe Ai-chan is standing there waiting for you to wrap up so you can go home together. Yes, her home...together XD

Eri

I'm really not a fan of this hairstyle. But I do like the fringe. I wonder how they create those bangs that kinda curl in? Funny that it's only in Kame's solo pv did I start to notice that there are other things in the video other than them XD The furry boots again makes me wanna touch them. They look comfy. And the bubble like plastic wall looks nice to bounce against. Though they do make me think of the rooms in a mental institution ^^; Which in turn reminded me of GA. What is with me and fics?! I must be suffering from the lack of good and sadistic AG fics :( Again I find myself staring at lips. I always thought she has kissable ones. I wonder if Sayu finds them tasty :D

Sayumi

Ahhh, and finally we come to the babe. Babe as in hawt and gorgeous girl. I think the black background makes her look incredibly fair and this makes her look so darn good to bite! I also adore her luscious hair. I love it when she places both hands over her chest at 1:19 min. Frankly, I don't know what sort of emotion Shige-san is trying to put across (I doubt she knows either, lol). But heck, she looks awesome and I especially love 1:33 min when she bit her lip (omg doki doki XD) and 1:44 min where she acted flippant and did that little strut. WAHHHHHH~~ L.O.V.E LOVELY SAYUMINNNNNNNN!!! Lol.
