So, for some reason I couldn’t finish watching the 4hr video of Janken (Stopped when Yukirin was defeated in the Top 16) before I went to start on the second part of RH (100-1). That as well I haven’t finished yet. I haven’t watched the Making Of yet neither have I finished the first Disc (100-76) but I have a galore of caps already, as per usual, but those will have to wait until I finish the whole thing before I post all of them (prepare your bandwidth). But for now, I am only mention those things that caught my eye most.
So, in case you have missed everything that has been going on today, the Janken Tourny happened a few hours ago and yo yo yo!I think like 90% of the Fandom came away with a re-kindled flame for the Family no matter how long one has been following the group! Seriously, this Janken was serious business! If anyone still has any doubts about Janken rigs, I have nothing to say to thee!
Without of course pouring water on anything, the winner of the Janken, to either get a solo single or a solo concert if they are already debuted soloists, was Milky. That is Watanabe Miyuki of NMB48 Team BII/SKE48 Kennin! Since I used to love her during the B days, I am happy for her. And she does have a bit of experience in solos so I am not worried in the least.
But that isn’t all. Despite the many worries of there not being a performance for the new COOL single, that didn’t mean that we can’t get an announcement and Jesus, did we get an announcement! The names kept on rolling and rolling to the point of me thinking that they are gonna pull one on us and announce every single member in the group. Luckily, we stopped at 32. Which is really, really still a lot! I shudder to think of the screen time each member will be getting, especially those in the lower numbers (Like you know who). The single is to be Double Centred by of course Mayuyu and…
wait for it…
wait for it…
SAKURA-TAN!
That’s right! The one and only Miyawaki Sakura! The other No.2 Kagoshima Princess in HKT, Our Yukirin being the Kagoshima Queen and No.2 of AKB. Quite the similarities these two have it’s almost too scary! Sakura, the girl that should have been(before Sasshi) should be (since it isn’t Sasshi) the centre of HKT singles but has been denied since the early days. The girl that has actually written her frustrations about this herself on her blog (Read It Here). Finally, she is finally getting Justice served her!
Sure Yukirin is still suffering under the boot and has yet to see the daylight which I guess made those Up there guilty when they saw how unfair they have been to both these Kagoshima power houses! To keep treating Sakura the same way they have been Yukirin would have been really a shitty thing to do and I was nearing my bend (as Sakura did) but thankfully, they gave at least one of them a break! Wish it would have been yukirin though especially at this moment in time where B seems to be hitting things off and a Mayuki single would have been most appropriate but alas.
But it is Sakura, and if no Yukirin, then Sakura is the best option and I am forever grateful that at least they went with this! We are getting close now. Yukirin can’t just help Mayuyu during the practice for this single and ignore Sakura seeing as they are both Centres (dreaming, dreaming!)
I of course, having had college today, I missed most of the Janken and only got to see one match of Yukirin during the Top 16’s battle for the positions (and No.1) so I totally missed the first three awesome matches that got her to the Top 16. My Goddess, where did she still the luck? Not only her though, Team B was on fire this day dear Readers! Especially My Favourite Draftee Sayaya who almost swept the whole house clean! In support was Naanyan and Goddess Yukirin. Really bad that neither won though. It’s wishful thinking of course but can you imagine a B triangle at the top of that pyramid? Then there is the 38th Single Senbatsu filled with more B members! Like, I am so insanely happy right now!
Sure my goddess is like in the 7th line if we are going by the order of name announcements but really, what’s new? It wouldn’t surprise me if she wasn’t in this at all! I hope Avex is taking notes! Sure she is in the Janken Senbatsu as well but as per usual, she is also in the back line there too. Since this means that she won’t have that an important part in both these last two singles of 2014, she should be available for a Solo Concert not to mention a 3rd single, am I right!
Seriously though, when shall we have a MAYUKI single if not now when Mayuyu is AKB’s No.1 and Yukirin the No,.2! Probably when she gets that Top spot in the Election. Well, that does it, I am multiplying my efforts by 7 now from last year! You started this AKS, it’s so on!
In the meantime though, Mayuyu please take care of Sakura like Mamarin has you. And I hope you pass on some good things about Sakura to Yukirin and Sakura, take this chance to appeal to Mayuyu about Yukirin so she can pass it on. Then again, I have a feeling Sakura is gonna get out the big guns and take the battle to Mayuyu for Yukirin’s affection. Oh shi…Is this it? Will this decide it all? Oh God, now I can’t wait for the after-effects of this single! Something is gonna change, I can just feel it! Okay, this is better than a Mayuki single for now!
Good Lord!
The girl from Yukrin’s real home VS the girl that is Yukirin current home (Home is where the heart is)…MY BODY IS READY!
Any way, skip over for more photos of these wonderful Oshi of mine and Mayuki (BOC)!
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 I was watching these latest Kokoro vids and at first I was all super hyper from all the Mayuki and in the case of Count Down TV, Yukirin sandwiched between Rena and Mayuyu as in the caps above! Such a great moment in and of itself. But then I tuned my Goggles to >9000 and it is then I noticed Sakura-chan!
In the very first cap, while Rena is all happy in her own world (who wouldn’t?) sitting next to Yukirin, she is of course unaware of the heated gaze of jellies being directed her way from Sakura! I swear to God that look! I just got a serious flashback from the Sousenkyou from that gaze. Sakura still hasn’t forgotten and neither has she forgiven it seems.
And while in the middle cap you would think that at least Mayuyu would be safe from all Yukirin’s lovers because they know Mayuyu will always be first and thus no need to waste energy and happiness grudging, then you haven’t met Sakura! The gaze she gives Mayuyu is even more poisonous than the one she gave Rena! You best watch your back…Queen!
Seriously though guys, this is not just me being a super shipper, right? Sakura is at her limits it looks like to me. And she is at that dangerous age where one feels like they can do anything (sweet 16 am I roit?)
Just look at the way she looks at Yukirin in this OP of the latest Music Station when Yukirin is talking about the festival she went to with Miichan! Love, what is it? A girl with those eyes will do anyything! I am starting to fear for Rena and Mayuyu’s lives!
But that is only for the last resort. For now Sakura is beginning to fight just as we have been wishing (you know what I mean Willmark). Take a closer look at that AKB48 Show Opening as Sasshi, Mayuyu and her go back to the stage. Love that little touch management did BTW, it could have been the Top3 having that talk but while I would be royally pissed had it been any other girl, somehow it being Sakura makes sense. Okay, I guess AKS isn’t that clueless.
I don’t know about you but to me it looks like Sakura used this chance to her advantage. There was no need to pass so close to Yukirin, with that cute way of running, arms trailing far enough to touch Yukirin just in case her body doesn’t! And she did touch Yukirin, I saw the dress moving! my goggles can’t be deceived!
These reactions from them say it all…Just kidding ^^
Seriously though, I hope Sakura gets more confident and starts approaching Yukirin. it took Rena 4-5 years sure but she got there. Then again Yukirin wasn’t as evasive towards Rena than she is towards Sakura, not to mention they don’t have any connections like she and Sakura do.
You know, while Sakura was making fun of Sasshi and Mayuyu being in the same room, I wonder if she thought of herself being in the same room with Yukirin! I hope Sashiko took notes and will make it happen! Just think off it – Sakura and Yukirin in a room, just the two of them!
Yeah, I can’t picture it either. There is just something dangerous about these two getting together and I don’t even know what. Does everybody feel it too? Is this why we haven’t gotten them two alone together? Hm…
Any way, I am doing research right now on summons! If it takes Black Magics to get these tow together, then off to summon Satan I go! I love it greatly even now but after playing that Kuchi Utsushi performance (You know which one!) countless times, I need something else! It’s been like 7 months or something! So I am doing some voodoo magic for either this year’s Utagassen or RH 2015! It has to happen!
On another note,
AS THANK YOU. FOR MAKING US WHAT WE ARE TODAY.
My Goddess, we don’t deserve you!
I tell you guys, I have never been so proud of an Oshii! Definitely my Kami! Always having such great words to say and if they are not about us fans, then they are about something else selfless!
I love her!
All those who want her to be selfish (especially for the Sousenkyou) don’t understand Yukirin! Giving up on her because she lacks the hunger for Top is just…
Sigh
She works hard for us not for her to be No.1. It is the reason she always smiles, always. She is having fun to make us have fun watching her perform. I wish others would understand this.
Our girls are back at TDC where they haven’t been since the feels! And I find myself with only one wish…
Dear God, if you are listening, please oh please give us a Kagoshima duet! I don’t care what song it is I just want those two together just once! Is that too much to ask? If we can get YukiRena not once but actually twice, I am pretty sure Cherry Blossom Snow isn’t too hard.
It seems to me that everyone is ignoring these two. Be it management or themselves, there just seems to be an anonymous understanding about not getting these two together at all! Why is that?! It’s not like the world is gonna end or something if they finally be just the two of them together! Right?
I mean you, dear Almighty, you surely want them together at least once as well, right? Surely! And while I try to figure out why Acchan is in this post, hit the jump for a few more pics of my 48-Kamis!
