Some purchases and the New Morning Musume 2012

Yay, I finally made time for another post!

This is my 4th week of college and I'm really busy. I don't have that many classes, but the homework's intense! My free days are Wednesday and Friday, but I can't enjoy them. I spend the whole day by sitting at my desk and read, write or look up stuff. Most people don't seem to understand ... they think "Wow, you only have classes on three days the week! I want that, too!" I may be in college only three days, but I'm working 5-6 days every week like everybody else.

Only good thing, only three days a week, I have to share the bathroom with hundreds of others.

What else? OH RIGHT!

I got some cute stuff! This is my fat squirrel:

My ma bought it for me, because it's so cute. I actually have enough of these plushies ... but I can't resist a fat animal plushie. >< I now have a fat cow, a fat whale (of course), a fat snowman and now the fat squirrel too! Unbelieveable all the fatness...

I also got a new wallet. My old one was already really in pieces but since I've got in during my months in Japan, I never wanted to give it up.
But I had to ... I got another cute wallet:

Ha, so cute! Lately I'm getting lots of stuff in pink...

I also got the new Morning Musume calendar!!! No pics though ... I'm getting it for Christmas and so I'm not allowed to see it yet, but that's what it's looking like:

Yeah, Zukki, Aika, Eripon!! My favourites all in one row! I'm a Momusu fan for over 6 years now and I was really scared about all the graduations, but I found new favourites in Erina and Kanon, who are both kinda really stupid that you just have to love them!!! I also got to like Sayu lately. I hated her, when she was that super narcisstic but she's changed and Risa, of course, is adorable, too.
Problem is ... I miss Ai-chan too much. Eri was bad ... but with Ai-chan gone, something's MISSING!!! I can't ignore the fact that I'm struggeling in liking Momusu the way I did before her graduation. I just hope the new single will be great, so I'll fall in love all over again... I just hope, there won't be any more graduations soon.

Have you heard the new album "12, Smart" yet?? It's so awesome!

I really like the songs "Ok Yeah", "My Way" and "Silver no Udedoki". Next album has a bitte task.

Takahashi Ai Graduation ... Ai Believe

Today (or in Japan already yesterday), was a very sad day for me.

My beloved Takahashi Ai-chan graduated from Morning Musume.

I can't believe the era will be over...

During my first years of fandom in early 2004 (wow, almost 8 years now), she wasn't my favourite all along. She just seemed a little boring and dull, but I guess that was because she was drowning in the mass of girls.

But since 2006, she really started to shine and I've grown to love her voice, her dancing, her manscreams, her overreacting from time to time, her caring for all the members and her crying over each and every single one leaving.

And today it was herself.

I am so sad.

Being leader of group myself, maybe I can feel a little more sympathy with her, or maybe I'm just fooling myself. But sometimes I felt a connection, when I saw her encouraging the girls, trying to protect each and every one of them but sometimes you have to scold them and are misunderstood a lot.

When seeing this, I always felt love for her.

AI BELIEVE, you'll be alright! You're an amazing singer and entertainer and I'll be watching your steps from now on.

I won't stop being a Morning Musume Fan - I don't love them because of graduations and changing members ... I love them despite of it.

So please, even if Ai graduated, don't graduate as a fan!

Support Morning Musume and the new members, they deserve a chance!

And please keep watching over Takahashi Ai!

Some purchases

Sooo, lately I've got me some great new stuff to cheer me up from my little downslide. I know, I should find another way but shopping to get over sadness, but it works really well. Maybe I should write, when I'm sad ... or go for a walk ... or sing as loudly as possible.
Well, at least I don't eat to get happy, right?

Still, I want to show you some of the cute things I got!

First, I got a book, that I wanted for long from my beloved Lucy Maud Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables) ... it got here on the same day as my Only You single and my AKB48 album.

Actually, I'm not a very big fan of AKB48 (just TOO many) themselves, but their songs are good! So all I wanted was the regular album, but it was sold out and I got the limited edition with DVD... I haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to! I mean I bought, right? It even got with a photo and several exchangeable covers. I stay with the usual one, but on the inside I now have that girl with the long hair, purple pailette outfit and pink eyeshadow. I have no idea, who she is, but I find her very cute!! I actually like the girls on the back of the CD a lot cuter than the girls on the front...
Morning Musume's Only You ... I preordered it, so it would be counted into the Oricon charts. I love Morning Musume for like 6 years now and I'm buying their singles and albums for maybe 2 1/2 years ... I could have started earlier ... but to make up my delay, I'm buying all the CDs in Japan Version and during the first week or earlier so it'll count at Oricon and support my girls.
I already preordered the next single and it will be released mid September... but it'll be Ai-chan's graduation single an people are already preordering it LIKE CRAZY! So if you want the special edition with Ai-chan's solo song you should preorder it right now! I've ordered the Regular Edition and the Graduation Edition. I've never bought two editions before (money...), but this time I had to. Gotta support Ai-chan and Morning Musume!

Next thing I got was this package from Taiwan.

It's a lot of letter sets

and other cute stuff like wagashi erasers, Rilakkuma Baran or cellphone straps.

And today I got my very first fake eye lashes! It's so cool! I think, I'm a natural talent when it comes to applying them! Or maybe I'm just completly ruining it and don't realizing? Who knows? It's still fun.

Still gotta buy some  glue, but I've read that Douglas and Rossmann offer it.

Okay, I don't know why, but blogspot is flipping some of my pics ... weird. I had to get the upper pics into landscape format so that they'd be displayed right up.
