Okay, that’s it! I am so done with waiting for true HD episodes to show up! Screw you logic, I am watching this in 720p (Even though it kills my soul to watch Yukirin in less quality than should be available!). After these caps of episode 03, the one that I just couldn’t resist spoiling myself with no thanks to those teaser rumble pics that even made it into the newspapers before the episode actually aired…
Seriously, how could I have resisted this?! Now the temptation is up to watching the episode before the eng subs come out for it!
Ship? Like, are you even kidding?!! From what I heard these two are like opposite magnets, well, their characters are but if so, then what is going on in these caps above?!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Don’t tell me, I will find out for myself!
So, after giving up on waiting I went back to hunting and I finally, finally fell on a site hosting this on GDrive and so I sat down and watched it in one go! Isn’t it strange though that a 2 hour video takes over four hours to watch? I mean I pause every other minute or second depending on who is on screen or on what happened but come on, it can’t take more than 2x times to finish! But that’s the case since I began watching this video at around 3:30 am and it is now almost 8am! Okay, so maybe those 900+ caps are evidence in this testimony but still!
So anyway, I finally watched this LIVE that seems was streamed LIVE (I am waiting for you True HD version) and so it is available to watch and BY THE GODS! First of all that set list! Secondary, Saya was on FIRE! I mean this was her hometown but dear Lord! I can tell you with certainty that neither of you all has seen this Saya before! I am a caps wh&&^% as you know and even I was really struggling trying to get a good cap of this girl! Jesus Christ you would think she was possessed or something by the amount of energy this girl had! If there was any doubts about her in her home town, or around the country to all that watched this LIVE, all those doubts have been thrown to the fire! I will just say that her popularity at the Selection Event was not an illusion guys!
Mayuyu lovers will be terribly disappointed in case they did not know before hand but she was absent for this tour to Hokkaido because of sickness. Maachun though made sure that we did not miss her completely, you will see why in case you don’t know. Sub-Captain Oya-chan also wasn’t there for the first arc before the Introductions. She only came by when the sub-units started and when she did, of course she had to do it with a bang! There is this thing with the stage where a large curtain falls down to separate the stage into two and during the song, it was necessary because of a certain effect! When it fell, Oya wasn’t in the right position and the thing fell over her head! She was lucky it wasn’t the heavy one let me tell you that!
So, what was the setlist? Well, let’s get started…
Otherwise there is no way this image would popup in a matter of hours after talking about these two! I am looking at you Sashiko!
But let’s take a moment to analyse this picture! I am trying to make out the background but I simply can’t. Behind Sakura it looks like a classroom which made me think of a Kagoshima Royalty Photoshoot happening! But then looking between them, what kind of classroom has no windows or has a phone or has a TV/DVD system. Well they might have the latter but usually they aren’t left in classrooms after the end of classes, at least they weren’t in my school!
So then where are they? They can’t be in an AKB prep room, to looks too vacant and even if it was, we should have seen these bathrobes before. But even then that begs the question, why are they in the robes at the same time? Since it doesn’t look like they are wearing clothes under there it either means that they are in bikinis, which means a photo-shoot incoming or they just took a shower. But then they surely didn’t take a shower together…or did they?
So, since we haven’t seen these bathrobes before, meaning they aren’t at the AKB theatre or some other AKB gathering, that only leaves these possibilities. One being that they are at a location somewhere on a job and they are hiding their bikini-clad bodies under there. Another being that they are sharing a hotel room, again on a job, and that is why they have matching robes. Another possibility is that they are actually not at work at all and they are at someone’s home, someone with two matching robes, having just finished or about to take a shower together!
I think we can all agree either possibility is a WIN situation! All I know is that whatever it is it is going to be glorious!
——————– EDIT——————
Ah, it turns out that this was actually a photoshoot before a ghost performance (meaning I don’t know which performance). Anyway Sakura seemed really happy about it saying how she had wanted to talk to Yukirin for so long. They talked about Kurofuku Monogatari. too She loves the drama! The photo-shoot is for Young Magazine so keep a look out for it. I sure hope it is a two-shot because I am so frikking dying for this way overdue combi photoshoot! Indeed, even the truth turns out to be awesome. This is a good start! And now that Yasusu has finally been asked what his deal is with Yukirin, maybe things will also change in that other area too!
So, it occurred to me that I have rarely, if at all ever posted pics from Yukirin’s blogs and that is a NO! NO! So I am here to do something about that! I have gone back through my Yukirin folder and grabbed the few pics at the top to post (sorted by Date Modified) so here we go! And while sorting through them, I was amazed at some of the weirdness I found! Like, WTH is up with this Hinana/Yukirin thing I see! Or the Yukirin/Uuka for that matter! And while we are on the subject, all these lolis lining up to be devoured for our Goddess! I mean not that I blame them but it seems to me that the list of her fans that are members has really gone up a lot since I last checked!
Like Yuiri for example is simply in lust with Yukirin! But I was already aware of her love so it didn’t come as such a shock but I somehow thought she would have outgrown her crush. The joke is on me for anyone who gets a taste of the Yukirin World can never leave! They think they can but they are being delusional! Once you get pulled into this world there is no more hope for you, just ask Yuria-peace and Sasaki Nozomi. Yes, I am talking about the actress Sasaki Nozomi! There is this blog from Yuria that I reblogged on tumblr a while back where she comes out of the Yukirin closet much to my shock! I most certainly did not expect her of all people to be pa part of the Yukirin World. Then again there is this picture…
Nope, she had no chance! You just wait until she gets to the 3rd LIVE and then it will be all over for her! But while she still tries to survive this, someone else has already stepped on the landmine that is the 3rd trap of a concert…
May the Goddess Yukirin rest her soul. As for Sasaki Nozomi, we all saw her on LIVE TV during the Janken where she out right declared he super gayness for Yukirin! Going so far as to say she if she were a man Yukirin would already be her waifu! Um dearest Sasaki-san, you might not know this but there are already gay couples that have married in Japan! There is no need to play it safe! No one can blame you for not being able to resist the fruit more marvellous than the apple in the Garden of Eden!
While we are on the subject of the Janken, let’s talk about another victim that fell prey to our Goddess’ charms at this exact event. that poor unsuspecting loli was none other than Team 8’s Honda Hitomi! during the AKB stage LIVE following the Janken she says that though she was sad to have not gotten ahead (losing to Yukirin too BTW) she was happy because she got to talk to Yukirin a lot!
More proof that once you get to know her, you can never escape her attraction! All these new girls come into AKB with other members as their models they look up to but Yukirin but once they are in, once they get to meet her, things change! She is those people that you only get to like once you meet them face to face which is strange to me because from appearances alone she seems like a nice person but I guess her hikkikomori game is just too strong in that she comes off as unwelcoming to the young ones. We all know they things she likes least are animals and kids too but seeing all with all these lolis me thinks she is getting over her fear. Not to mention Fuuchan is helping in the animal department.
Then there is Annin too. She is now calling her Iriyama-sensei BTW on twitter for some unknown reason. Also Annin made a passing comment like it should be known to us, though she somehow hinted that it might not, by saying that she is really close with Yukirin! And this all before the Kurofuku involvement. I tell ya things are happening in the Yukirin World that we are not even aware of!
Adding to the ever growing list is Meru, who has like attended almost all of Yukirin’s LIVEs! A little sad at the lack of pics of them together to tell the truth but the knowledge will be enough for me for now!
Then going to NMB, as I already said, Uuka is just a lost cause already! She is all over Yukirin like bees to honey to the point of throwing respect out of the window! Seriously, she treats Yukirin like her equal but me have a feeling Yukirin loves her specially because of this. I mean look at those pics, you would think they were lovers or best buddies or something. Oh Uuka…And let’s not forget about Akarin…
Like, look at that photo? No one dares pimp Yukirin like that! Well, maybe Sae-man but Sae-man has rights to do it! Then again Akarin is also one with the Dark Force so it shouldn’t be surprising that she would be such an Alpha with Yukirin.
This is all very current events aren’t they? but there is even a more recent one, like as recent as yesterday, or today, depends on how you look at it!
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you! That is indeed Naanyan, Team B’s 2nd youngest Owada Nana. As to where this is from, that will be Team B’s concert in Sayaya’s hometown Hokkaido! Like, are you even tripping me? I am not even going to ask what the hell is going ion in this scene all I know is that I want it! I found a recording for it but the host site used is one I can’t have a premium account with for some reason so if anyone would be so kind as to please help us out, here is the link GO TO BLOG!
Any way I am rumbling again, I came to post pics not a book! But before we jump to the pics, how many of you actually knew this was Yukirin on all these covers for Team B Stage recordings? I most certainly didn’t…
