Mitsui Aika is Graduating Morning Musume

Oh God. WHY did this have to happen?


This quote from Tumblr sums everything up...

“Aika needs to graduate? ok, let’s bung her in with one of the most anticipated graduations of all time and let her simmer in the background like she isn’t important” 

This so much =( I atleast hope she gets a solo performance of her solo song because it really is the best solo ever and is great for wotagei. It's always amazing watching it. 


Now this gives me a reason to buy the DVD...I was going to buy it like...with the next concert tour. It doesn't seem thaaat important even though Gaki-san is in the higher half of my MoMusu ranking for the time being. For about 15 minutes my mind went blank and now I'm just quite angry. Aika is so, so special. 


Why does it have to happen like this? Fair enough she's going to stay in H!P but they're not exactly going to make he a solo singer because she lacks vocals and popularity. Also the main issue is of course her health, but to be honest I was happy with Aika being the MC. 


It kind of makes sense since apparently all of this was decided in April that she was really ignored in Renai Hunter. 


I'm feeling really down right now and have been saying 'FFS' a lot but I think I'll calm now.


Demands:


-Solo Performance
-Graduation Messages
-Future Activity in H!P
-Some sort of extra graduation goods released

*sighs* IDGAF if it says san instead of chan. both are very similar. (ち and  さ)


IT'S A SIGN.

...

Who Will Graduate next?

Who'll graduate next? Aika, Sayu or Reina? I'm really curious to see who will.

First off there's the lovely Mitsui Aika ^_^ She's currenty my Favourite Musume along with Eripon. Many people say Aika should graduate and that makes me so sad. She's injured, but as long as She and Tsuku think she's okay, I think she is :D Let's see...


Reasons for graduating:


1. Injury - Although she is recovering, she has week bones.
2. Lack of popularity


Reasons for not graduating:


1. I don't want her too D:
2. The age gap in MoMusu would widen between Haruna (17) and Reina and Sayumi (22).  Aika is  19 so she's in the middle and makes everything less awkward.

 

Sayu and Reina are other Musumes I'd never want to graduate. Like Aika, they are part of the 9-nin line up (nine smile) that I first loved. (Although Miki + Yossie without JunLin Momusu was my first line up). 

Reasons to graduate:

1. They're 22 and might be looking to go onto bigger things and start relationships in life.

Reasons not to graduate:

1. Besides Riho and a few others they bring out the Majority of sales now that Aichan and Gaki are leaving. 

2. They (Mainly Reina) are main vocalists and characters in the group.

So Which one next?

If a 9ki or 10ki doesn't pull a Sakichii (=[ I miss you Sakichii) and decide she doesn't want to be an Idol (A perfectly reasonable decision, it's her choice and it can be stressful) or get involved in a scandal (Maybe Mizuki or Haruna) then one or two of these girls should graduate next. 

I can see it being Aika because they might want to push the 'Last of the 6th generation' thing and make a lot of money.

I can see it being Reina/Sayu next so that they treat Aika as an older senpai and keep her on the sideline so they can focus on rebuilding the new young Morning Musume.

I can't see Reina or Sayu graduating with Aika next because it would be so odd like JunLunEri. The graduation was so Eri focused and I think Aika would be cut off. A Reina/Sayu graduation would be fair and more likely because of their bond.

I can't see a separate Reina or Sayu graduation because then there would be a graduation of a senpai in 2013, 2014 and 2015 which is too long (even though I hate to say it). The girls ought to be leaving soon. One single and one double graduation.

I really can't decide on who it'll probably be, but I see a Reina/Sayu graduation. It could be before or After Aika's graduation.

SHINee 'Sherlock' + Big Bang 'Fantastic Baby' + Arashi 'Wild at Heart'

The teaser for SHINee's new Mini album is out *0* *Comebackcomebackcomeback Fangirls*

WOW. FANTASTIC BABY.

This is so cool! The plot's pretty simple (Fighting people who hate music :p) But it's just so awesome oWo. The best parts are the 'Wow Fantastic baby' parts and the rapping and the Daesung and Taeyang vocals...so that's basically the whole song XD BLUE HAIRED T.O.P! 

This is way better than 'Bad Boy' and is just a cool club song. There's so much going on. Chains, sparks, shirtless guys, cars O____O  The only bad part is that there's a huge lack of Seungri. Seungri, Daesung and Taeyang are the strong vocalists, so he should have been a part instead of rapping like in 'Beautiful Hangover'

It's been so long since Arashi have released a song! This MV is great from the Disco parts, glitter, and other parts that are like 'Troublemaker' and 'Believe'. It's really funny at parts, especially Nino who is surprisingly funny when put into a smallish box with 4 other guys. Everyone gets a line. (Nino's is the best) :3

:3

All of H!P's newest singles!

These are all so late XD Here's Berryz', C-utes's, Mano's, S/mileage's and Morning Musume's newest singles. (Although MoMusu and S/mileage are about to release their next ones XD)


1. Berryz工房 『Be 元気 (成せば成るっ!)』

Good: This is the best release like...since...ages =D Great song and an amazing MV!  This is wat Berryz needed! The concept and location is fantastic with many great shots. The dance is definitely the best! I think this song deserves to sell 20k, so I hope that they can pull in some fans :) Also, this song has a Miya-Rii lead which I'm always for. Captain is also adorable :3

Bad: Momo's hair ruins the mood and Risako sort of looks like she has a shaved head XD Not exactly deal breakers though. I am absolutely ecstatic about this song and release!  *fingers crossed*


2. ℃-ute 『君は自転車 私は電車で帰宅』

Good: The outfits are great. The song is really soothing, but being myself I honestly don't like Ballads at all. The MV features Airi walking around with some guy, but the others will get their own version, so I'm not bothered. Airi is beautiful and I can't help but sort of want a solo performance of her singing this song ^_^


Bad: I don't like the English lyrics very much. They seem sort of pointless. The dance looks like their floating and I don't like that. I understand that they were trying to create some sort of effect but I don't feel it worked. Also, why don't we see they guys face? I just find it odd.

3. モーニング娘。『ピョコピョコ ウルトラ』

Good: I love this song! I sing it all the time =) I really love the chicken outfits, it's just so...cute! ♥ Sayumi is just so adorable. This is the Juukies first single and everyone gets a line just like in MDKS (Another awesome, Genki song). Aika is also we incorporated into the video considering she wasn't in the dance =D


Bad: The projector thing didn't work out too well and looks bad. This is also, sadly, MoMusu's lowest selling single yet ...3:


4. スマイレージ 『チョトマテクダサイ！

Good: A cute, catchy song with everyone with lines! The MV is really cute, with lots of jumping around! They also do this cute thing with Kananan in the dance shot where she's a bit behind the others to show how much she's improved x3 I think is so cute! Wait...I said cute quite a few times there lol. I actually like the falsetto. "Chotto matte kudasai JAN!"


Bad: I don't like the little picture things where lots of them are on screen and it changes like a flip book. Did I describe that right? Also, Meimi is weird in this somehow. 


4.  真野恵里菜『ドキドキベイビー』/ 真野恵里菜 『黄昏交差点

Good: Manochan; in Akihabara! There's so much going on in this MV =D Dancing Geisha's are the highlight though ^^ Also, sales increased from her last single by around 1500! This hasn't happened in ages! What cute lyrics. "Is this a premonition of love Baby?" "CHUCHUCHU PIPIPI NONONON" ^^


Bad: I really can't think of anything =) 

Good: The song is lovely and much like 'My Days for You' will be in my head for ages! The guy in the video at times is good looking :3 Here's the english lyircs by Mei-chan (Incomplete).

"Rushing up to the twilight intersection, I suppose this feeling I'm having is "I want to meet you"
Going at it head on, I melted away like clouds swimming through the sky

How long has it been since we came across eachother...
Even so, someday, I want to seek out...For just you

I miss you...In the sky, I drew wishes that would continue on into the future
Today, it's so radiant once again...So lovely once again...
Just like a blooming sunflower, I line up with the sun
I'd like to gaze at my glistening love

I miss you...In the sky, I drew wishes that would continue on into the future
Today, it's so radiant once again...So lovely once again...
I miss you...In the sky, I drew an eternal light that is warmth
No matter how far apart we are, my heart will shine on
Just like a blooming sunflower, I line up with the sun
I'd like to gaze at my glistening love

Forever... "

Aren't they absolutely beautiful? Aren't they? =] Mano's lyrics always give a strong visual ^^

Bad: Absolutely nothing. 

6. Buono! 『初恋サイダー

Good: Vocals are great and the MV very well produced. If I was a young girl in Japan, Buono! would be my #1 Idol group. I don't know why their fan base is so small now o.o Airi's solo version is amazing btw. :3 

Bad: Miya's trousers should be tighter. They just look...bad.

Recent Thoughts

It seems I use twitter to blurt out random things. I reckon I should actually blog instead of Spamming twitter.

It's about damn time I did some blogging on Anime and Manga. 

I've been trying to get back into Anime recently. Strangely all if the Animes I've watched recently (Or some like Shakugan no Shana or Shuffle! a few year back) are in this video. Watch for some good suggestions ^^

AKB48 are being their awesome selves in promotion for their new single ^^

They all look so adorable yet cool =3

Also, Diva are looking awesome in their 3rd single preview! *Fangirls*

Seriously, Sae and Sayaka are just too cool. Ayaka and Yuka are cool too =3 The MV just seems so perfect and polished, A lot like Tokyo Girls' Style's PVs lately.

Next up is Stylips!

The full PV is out! It's so perfect! It's so perfect! Why can't all PVs be like this? Why? Or why can't H!P follow this example =( The song is great. It's a shame that sales are allegedly at around 6,000 for the first day.

I've been getting Ayumi fever recently :) I think I'll make it a thing to right an Idol I've been particularly liking on certain days,

*New ***48 Ranking*

Top 20 Songs 2011

1. Kikkawa Yuu - Konna Atashi de Yokattara

Kikka praise has been rare for me. I've never seen her as anything special or even bothered to listen to her songs too much. (Kikkake wa YOU! was forgettable and Hapirapi sunrise was a good song that I just got tired of listening to eventually after months). I actually don't think I could ever not be in love with this song. It's that amazing. Maybe I've just caught the Kikka-bug and become strangely biased towards her, but better late than ever I guess. Disappointing sales(around 6,000) mean nothing to me. Well...of course they make me a little sad but it doesn't take any of the epicness away from the actually songs. Anyway, good song and good Music Video up until the green screened scenes. Easily the best single of the year. 




2. AKB48 - Flying Get


AKB48 have sure had a fantastic year! Million sellers! Yay! This song is incredibly catchy and I often find myself humming it while walking down the road. Don't mistake the title for 'Flying ghetto' though XD Yay for Sasshiko, Juritan and Yuko! Acchan line whored again, but what can I say? She sings well and is reasonably cute. Can't complain too much since my favourite members are in the senbatsu. So many girls get nothing. Anyway, getting back to the song...there's not really much I can say. It's just a genuinely good song.


3. SKE48 - Pareo wa Emerald / Sumaireji - Shortcut


Catchy Jurina lead tune! W Mastui are second to none. I do wish there were more solo lines in the song though. It simply sounds like it should have more solo lines.


Shortcut is the best S/mileage single ever. It's on My H!P top 5 and I don't think that'll ever change.


4. Kiss Me Aishiteru - C-ute


Ahh ^^ Cute are getting sexier everyday. Chisato's lead is okay since I love everyone in C-ute. They're all so sisterly aren't they? :) This single is so cool. I originally thought It would be #1 on my ranking for the year forever hs but then the 3 songs above smacked me in the face x) The MV had the Onna no otoko no Lullaby Game walls...Watashi no Mirai no Danna-sama Television..Some people call the MV ' Recycled' but I can't see that at all. First words I thought when I heard the song and saw the MV simultaneously: "Tsunku, you've done it again' :D So what if the MVs are similar. Feel that electro beat!




5. Morning Musume - Yamete yo Sinbad!


Such a fun song. Lines for all! Shame Aika wasn't at Ai believe to sing her lines. I love the clown like feeling of the song. The sound affects make me giggle ^^


6. Mobekimasu - Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku


When the Radio Rip was released we heard so many 'OMG REINA LEAD NOOO' s but why? She does a fantastic job. Reina was meant to be a lead vocal. She just was! She's a little nasal here but ignoring that perfect. Airi and Risako do their solo lines well. I just think this was a little early for Riho centering and getting double lines already. She sounds very nice with Airi, alhough I have to say that Gaki-Yuuka double lines were definitely my favourite.


7. Morning Musume - Motto Aishite hoshii no

I didn't really feel anything for this song until the Fantasy DX concert. Hearing it live just makes you feel the song more. It's really pretty and my favourite part is the slow chorus break in the middle. Ai and Reina's era of Morning Musume will surely be missed by me.


8. Mano Erina - My days for You + Seishun no Serande


I really couldn't listen to 'My days for you' song at first. When the radio version was released I listened to the first 30 seconds and it sounded so boring. A few months ago I bothered to listen to the whole song and I loved it. Once you hear the full chorus, (There's a snippet in the beginning) all of the song just melts into something really, really enjoyable :) 


Seishun no serenade is just a really fun song. The lyrics are really uplifting. The shouting parts in the middle are really funny and I love Mano's 'Wahahaha' XD


9. Moumoon - Chu Chu


Moumoon are generally a win for me. Eye and Ear candy for all I think :) 'I wanna kiss chu'... The play on words is so sweet that this song always makes me smile. The music video is really fun too. 


10. SNSD - The Boys


Ignoring the first minute of the music video (Falling petals and birds? wtf) The video is awesome. Tifanny may have on gotten rap parts, but everyone did great. It sound so american and catchy. The english version is really good, but I prefer the korean because the lyrics are weird. Rap parts are the best parts of the song + Sunny's lines which she does beautifully. 
11. Perfume - Laser Beam


Techno-pop, Auto-tune and Synthesizers.  Yep, the artists/idols rarely sing live. Their songs are simply to be listened too and Live performances can only make them worse strangely. Anyway, this is a great song. Some of you might remember me dying to get Limited Edition for it's gorgeous cover. Sadly I didn't in the end. It was so expensive on ebay :( Sure this song is no 'Voice' 'Nee' 'Fushizen na girl' or 'Natural ni koishite' but it's still very good and Perfume are always lovely to listen to. The other song on this double A-side single was good too, but not as good.




12.  Berryz Koubou - Ai no Dangan


This is a good song. There's not much to add when it is just a good song. Berryz' singles this year have all been really good. The MV (Beside the outfits) are cheap and appalling. Like a cheap version of  SNSD's 'Bad Girl' with the motorcycles and guns. They were trying to pull a Kpop there. 


13. Super Junior - Mr Simple


If I took away the hot dancing korean guys I'd still love this song. (Not as much as I love the guys though ;))


14. Boyfriend - Boyfriend, Don't touch my girl, I'll be There


Boyfriend have had a great debut year. 3 hit singles which have made them really famous. They're very different from SHINee no matter what anyone says. 


Boyfriend (sounds weird starting a paragraph with this again) is a really fun song. 'I'm you're boyfriend and you're my girlfriend' Yes Please! All songs should sound like this! They're gorgeous! Don't touch my girl has the (kpop) best video ever. The song itself is just so...catchy. The chorus especially. Exactly the same can be sad for 'I'll be there'. They have the exact same feel and It's really hard to put into words...
15. Momoko Tsugunaga - Kia Ora Gracias Arigatou

Buono! have had quite a bad selling year. It's a shame. Partenza was a good album, but this was the only song I replayed continually for more than 3 hours on one rainy day ^^ 


16. Morning Musume - Give me love


Aichan high notes always send a shiver through my spine. I can't help but wonder how this song would have done if it had been her graduation single. Reina, Riho and Gaki do a good job too. There's a nice sayu line. An Aika line would have made it the perfect line sharing for a last Aichan single. Lines for all the senpais and the budding Ace-Rihorin.


17. SKE48 - 1! 2! 3! 4! Yoroshiku!


I shout when I sing this song. Juritan and Rena's lines are great. Plus Kuumin and Masana are great too. This song should be Japan's national anthem. It would fit very well ^^"1! 2! 3! 4! please! 5! 6! 7! 8! give me!the power to believe in fate1! 2! 3! 4! please!5! 6! 7! 8! right away...the power of affection" :)


18. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Tsukema Tsukeru

The not as addicting as Ponponpon 'Tsukema Tsukeru' blew me away. At first I thought it was silly (Title lit. Putting on fake eyelashes') But it really makes you think about doing such a thing like putting on Make up gives girls lots of confidence :) Go Kyary! +1 for randomness too  xD Dancing Lions, and Crisp packets on her dress.


19. C-ute - Aitai Lonely Christmas


Aitiai lonely christmas is a great song. I'll forever remember it as the Kyuukie's 'Love Namida Iro' :) The versus are nicer to listen to than to chorus for me. Airi sounds absolutely lovely.


20. S.mileage - Miniskirt Post Woman


Yuuka's last single is great. I really miss her, but this is just such a great single to leave with. The last line...'The story goes on' is taken by her :) Very fitting. Meimi's lines are okaaaaay, and the Kanyon lead works well. Yay for Takechan!

Happy Birthday Mitsui Aika!

Today is a very special day :] (In Japan...lol)


My Lovely Aika is....19 years old! \o/ Purple blog post for Aika support! I'm using large text because it's that special :)


Amazingly, Pyoco Pyoco Ultra was just uploaded to YouTube which is incredibly good timing in my opinion! Aika is incredibly cute in her lines and just splats awesomeness all over the MV. The song's about a girl who wants to achieve lots of things and I'm sure Aika is the girl they're singing about. She's just at that age! I can't post  the video because well...I don't know. It's not letting me.


I could easily write a post about the awesomeness, cuteness and brilliance  of Aika but today I wont. (I already have I think)


AI personally love Aika with the 6th gen ^^ She was closer to them and Aichan more then anyone else. 

Click on the image to make it bigger :) 


Aika really became a lot close to Aichan and the 6th gen during MDSK - Only You . At that time she was in so many Sayu and Reina blog posts it was awesome. She's slowly making her way back into blog pics xD And after her Fanclub tour (Today is the 2nd day) I hope she's able to become closer with the Kyuukies and I thiiiink (?) Juukies who should be attending to take part :D


HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIKA!
