Magi-Kat’s Neighborhood

Heres an idea of what had just come out when I first became a fan.

I was a fan as Waracchaou yo Boyfriend had JUST came out. So I've welcomed 10 of Berryz releases.

Wakkyanai (Z) had just came out not too long before hand. So with C-ute I've welcomed 11.

Although Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii jan had come out not long before the other groups songs, I didn't really become a Morning Musume fan right away. At least the more current gens. I was more into the Happy Summer Wedding Golden Years, than what was coming out. It did take me about 4-5 months, but I did fall in love with Aruiteru, and have loved Morning Musume ever since. Yay! I've welcomed 10 singles with them as well.

I fell in love with W so quickly as the first Hello Project group I ever looked up. I own all their singles and both their albums. The sad part, I fell in love with them during "The Suspension of Kago." So the were in limbo then.

Anyways, to end on a happy note.I try so hard not to love H!P but its such a guilty pleasure. I can never hate it. 

So I went to the anime expo. the largest one in the united states of that genre. I live near Chicago, yet have never been to Anime Central. So when I found out Morning Musume was going to have their first official US Concert open the the public on the 1st day of the expo, I had to go. Although I decided to go to the Moi Dix Mois concert rather than the Morning Musume Q&A Panel (there were so many people!), I had been looking through the glass double doors, waiting for the group to enter through other doors on the opposite side of the room. What was amazing was when I was looking through one door, Morning Musume actually walked right past me. We were maybe 2-3 feet away from each other, I was so close then, that I could see Kusumi Koharu's mole on her chin, as well as clearly seeing Tanaka Reina's earrings, I also saw Takahashi Ai's beautiful dress. What I figure is that the close encounter will give me incentive to save money, and go see the group in Japan. That experience was really amazing for me. But who wouldn't find it amazing? Ya know? 

I am going to Anime Expo 2009. Yay. I can't wait. um... yeah!

 

 

He's my new Love!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simple as that.

 

 

After I fell off the side of the earth with this blog, I decided to move to wordpress.
I like VOX, but I felt that moving to wordpress would allow me and to motivate me to write more, which was the goal of this blog originally.
I also feel like wordpress's layout as a whole is cleaner, but thats not especially important.

Here's a link:

I'm not going to shut this down, but I don't plan on updating it anymore.

Come visit me at my new blog :D

A new banner! *yay* Seriously, this guy is more recognisable from his lips than his eyes... o_O

I'm writing Yamapi a fanletter and I thought I should draw him something... Since I'm supposed to be "artistic" (I go to (well I've almost graduated ^^) a visual arts high school)... Then I also thought I should draw him a pic of himself since it's a fanletter after all. So I made a skecth of him with pencil. This is what it came down to:

(The scanner messed it up like they tend to do with pencil sketches. T_T) I'm actually pretty satisfied with the job I did... Don't know if it looks like him though. X_X What do you think? For people who don't know how Yamapi looks (shame on you!) this is the photo I draw it from: I'm sorry I can't credit for the scan but I seriously can't remember where I got it! It was someone in news_jpop community over at lj and I really tried searching for the uploader but couldn't find it so no credits, sorry. T_T If this is your scan then please tell and I'll credit (/take down). (As if she would ever come across my blog...)

As you can see I pretty much just copied that photo... So calling it "fanart" might be a little overstated. Although that's what portraits are right, copying a person's face... Anyway I chose this photo because I seriously LOVE his smile over anything! It's so gentle!!! There are people like Massu and Tegoshi who always have huge smiles on their faces and look really cute but there's something different with Yamapi... Like everybody knows he rarely smiles in photoshoots because he can't bring himself to fake a smile so you can really see him smile like this only at concerts! He really loves his fans! ♥ Of course he smiles at variety shows too since they're a lot of fun but in concerts his smile is somehow different! So lovely～ ♪♫♪

BTW, the covers of Koi no ABO are out and also a full radio preview (it aired like an hour ago :D)! Here's the covers from Johnny's official site:

And of course the limited version cover doesn't even include the members... Well, what do I care, it comes with a 12-page photobook and well, I'm buying both versions anyway! :) Everybody''s been reacting to these with one word: HOSTS! And also complaining that the poses are the exact same that they had in their concert pamphlet.

And finally, here's the song (of very poor quality unfortunately):

(Credits to pinkujisatsu) For some stupid reason vox doesn't let me embed songs I've uploaded myself. The code is all messed up :( Anyway to better stuff: OMG Tegoshi sounds so good!!! The bridge he sings is ♥♥♥! I'm looking forward to this 100%!!!

I HAVE to post a few more photos of Yamapi. And I'm again sorry not to credit (it's so easy with H!P, people don't seem to care much about crediting! :)). I'm a horrible person for not remembering where I got each scan... But I really need to put up more photos of him! Oh well, they are probably from this community anyway: news_jpop... And maybe several random places...

Cause we all just love that one... ^^
