Reika x Yumi? Oh God Yes! Misa x Mai? Praise Jesus! Ikoma x Hoshino x Hocchan?…
So, as every year’s norm, this year too we get a Halloween episode from Nogizaka where they cosplay for my favourite holiday. This time they even kick things up into high gear by pairing the girls up and you know what that means dear Readers – Ships incoming! And so the couple start pouring out including some fan-canon ones like Yumi/Reika and MaMai/MisaMisa. Just as I am wondering who Ikoma-kun is gonna be paired up with, and I just know she is going to do Danso because no one loves Danso like she does, hoping that it could me Minami-chan or Miona and I have to do thins until the very last couple(?) because she came up the last.
And do you know what those guys decided to do? They went and broke the rules by placing Ikoma-kun in a triangle with none other than the mentioned choices I had for her! You can imagine my heart’s condition when I first saw that logo with the three of them together. I just knew I was in for a world of sweet pain. But I thought I was ready! I mean surely they can’t do something like making Ikoma a guy with Minami-chan or Hocchan as a girl and the three in a triangle, surely..Well, I was wrong…
So, there I was wondering what this monthly AKB show would have in store for us this time seeing as it has really been real nice to us these past few episodes, first with that MAYUKI date to start out this new arc. Then followed up by another date of a couple that I actually do ship from Team 4, Miichan and Okada Nana. And lo and behold what we have now too?! Another date and with not just about anybody but my loveliest of them all from their respective groups; Sakura-tan and Ikoma-kun!
No! Do not attempt to scroll past this! I am not pranking you! For Ladies and Gentlemen, NOGIBINGO is back! If you are crinkling your eyebrows right now, let me assure you that you most certainly aren’t alone, Dear Reader for I too have heard absolutely nothing, and I mean, nothing of a third season of this show that makes AKBINGO run for it’s money! Episode 01 already aired and I am only finding out about it now!?! I am so ashamed of myself!
And just like it’s previous premieres, this season’s first episode sets the ground for some pretty epic things to come! And here I was thinking that we would never get another season! I don’t know why but I really thought the second season was the last! It was just so good and felt like all the best was poured into that season but then I remember that series get continued because they are awesome and so here we have ourselves another season of Nogizaka awesomeness!
Hello dear Readers,I sure hope that you had a good day yesterday because I sure did! Or maybe I should say night? After all I watched all these vids last night and that other thing happened at night of course and as to which thing I am talking about dreams!
I am happy to say that I have finally had a dream about one of my 4 kamis. The first dream goes to our Imoutochan Sakuratan! It’s so vague and I almost forgot about it right when I woke up (Having had a second completely non-related dream which I remembered as I woke up) but then ten minutes later as I laze in bed, I remember it!
It wasn’t anything major (as like my other Idol dreams than can be counted on the fingers). It was situated in a Computer Room at College the whole sequence for some reason. I remember Sakura-tan asking me to help her photocopy some papers that for some reason I think belonged to me. A great feeling I tell ya all! Other than that though, I can’t remember much. But really, who cares, I dreamed about her and that is in and of itself WIN!
But that dream was the end of the day/night. What started the night off was none other than my Absolute Kami among Kamis appearing in the latest episode of Utage! For some reason the fact that Mayuki was present took the far back seat to the awesome triple besties that is Sasshi/Miichan/Yukirin! I can’t speak for you all but whenever these three are together I get this awesome feeling inside and can’t stop grinning like a mad person! Seriously, what is it about these three?!
Not only that but they performed together a Morning Musume sub-unit song (Choco to LOVE by PuchiMoni) and of course they had great fun performing it! Their friendship is just too delicious for reasons un-known to me! I am still baffled by how close Yukirin and Miichan are. I mean with Sashiko I understand but Miichan? We all know Yukirin and her Senpai thing so to see her and Miichan be that close pleases me to no end!
Then as the theme was about memories, they were also showing the guests’ photos from years ago and for some reason I was impressed with the choice of the photo they chose for Yukirin. I am not sure if the guests chose the photos themselves but if they did then Yukirin means serious business!
What am I going on about? Well, look at Sashiko and Miichan’s photos. They scream ‘fun’ which compliments the mood the three were in during the shooting but then there was Yukirin’s photo and I was like – ‘WHY SO SERIOUS?!’ At first! I mean she has lots of fun pics of herself young , we have seen them. But then I remembered TegeTege just a day ago, about Sousenkyou, then my face split apart!
My Goddess, she is such a an intelligent Black Angel, isn’t she! All that photo told me was that – Look, I can do serious when the occasion calls for it! I am no stranger to leadership. Give me a chance and I will show you a serious Kashiwagi AKB! I haz the experience. Here is proof!
It probably isn’t that at all but with her you can never tell what is what which is the greatest attraction of hers. With Yukirin you never know what you are getting! I have said it countless times and I will say it again – I am forever lucky to have her as my Kami o Kami Oshi! She has layers so deep it makes my head hurt trying to figure out why anyone would call her boring!
Next Sousenkyou is gonna be historic!
BTW, it turns out that not just Yukirin but also Miichan auditioned for Morning Musume and she too failed! Oh tsunku, how many regrets do you have?! And by the way Sashiko was and is such a great fan of H!P just like the other two, no wonder these two are such great friends with such an important thing in common.
And finally, the Nogizakatte Doko episode that just forced me down memory lane to almost two years ago! Well, a couple of episodes back, there was this segment where the members had to challenge themselves to something for a month to be evaluated a month later on the show. Two episodes now have gone by about this. The last episode my other favourite Hocchan challenged herself to cramming all the names of the villains in 80-something horror movies. Sadly she failed right at the last film. She was defeated by the Scream Series’ Ghost Face!
This time though was another of Ikoma-kun’s waifu (Waifu No.1 in fact!) Minami-chwan! Her challenge to me has been the most impressive and beneficial to the challenger! What was it about? Well, something I certainly wouldn’t do even if paid money to do it!
Maths!
I mate numbers! Any way, her challenge was a speed calculation where a sequence of random numbers is displayed on a screen in intervals of a second or else and she has to say their sum doing calculations only in her mind! Yeah, like you can’t find me doing that! I would fail at just two double digit numbers!
But not our cutie, nope! That girl chewed those numbers so hard then spat them out like she was a completely different person! We all know Minami-chan and how lazy she is. In fact she said it herself that she hates studying as well but she worked so hard and managed to complete the test with much praise-worthy success!
Ikoma-kun Husbando-kun couldn’t contain herself anymore! I mean how could she, I couldn’t and I am just an observer! For some reason I actually expected the hug even before it actually happened! And Husbando-kun in all her High school Baseball Boy glory made the two look like just a normal young couple!
Queue the SHAKISM flashbacks and Muse-san being stirred!
Yeah, I woke up this morning in a really great mood, to say the least! But before I leave you all I want to know one thing…
How in the name of all that’s Holy, did that instructor survive this session??!!
So, Lolly asked me what my No.1 ships were in the 48 Family and X21 so instead of a quick comment, I am using this post for some pics sharing and a wider word spread!
None of these should be a surprise really to all who have been Readers of Yuri goggles for a while now. MAYUKI dominate the Main Dorm in Akihabara, WMatsui, despite the fact that they are a professional ship still are my favourite even as I have yet to see blog pics of the two being lovey dovey. Seriously I know they might be busy or something but still…Not even one!?! Talk about bad Fan-service! Thank the Lord for the PVs!
HKT is mainly about my personal tastes than anything else because I have yet to find an actual honest to God couple. They all haven’t found a firm ground yet being all flighty, maybe Madoka/Natssun. I had found a grounded ship in Chori/Aanyan but alas, they went and dismantled them with the transfers! And speaking of transfers…

SAYACCHU T.T)/
Damn you management, damn you! All the fucks I’ve given about NMB since the shuffles have only to do with Yukirin and we all know how little of her appearance in there is. NMB has gone from being my favourite group and Team N almost thrashing Team B for favourite Team and me watching every single N stage to me not even caring anymore! They even split up my Shuuka, like…
I guess I under-estimated how much Maachun really meant to me. Seriously I thought I loved that girl but not to this extent! I didn’t think her leaving NMB would make me lose so much interest in it to the point of not even watching any of their stages! Since new team N’s debut, I haven’t seen a single NMB stage! I don’t know how she affected me so. Before, I watched almost all Teams’ stages even the KKS (Thanks to Riichan 24hr TV getting me interested in them BTW) but now…Paruru gives more fucks about anything than I do NMB!
Anyway…moving on! It was a hard decision to decide between Yumi/Reika and Ikomiona but my love for Ikoma-kun and Hocchan totally cheated the test to have a perfect score! There is just something about those two and Hocchan’s hobbies give that un-expected spice to the relationship whereas Reika and Yuki are your typical perfect couple and we have enough of those going around so…
As for X21, MaiMai and Miho are still my favourites. I never get tired of the way they watch each other during interviews when the other speaks and how they somehow always end up next to one another. Now granted if you were asking me who was my favourite from their TV show, then of course Rina and Ichigo totally take the cake but that is only within the show’s universe. Outside in the real world, I actually ship Ichigo with someone else so…
Any way, I hope this answered your question perfectly Lolly! Be seeing you around (I hope)
