Morning Musume Poster Sale

I'm broke! Well ... not broke yet, but like really poor. That's why, I'm selling my precious on ebay - my Morning Musume poster collection.

 

I've had the calendars for like 4 years now amd I'm not intending to stop buying them. But as much as I love Momusu I can never hang all the posters! Never!!! I mean unless I decide for posters instead of wallpapers but that would be slightly insane.

 

So when you're a big, big fan and you don't have the money to buy a whole calendar or pay the shipping fees from Asia, but you still won't to own an original poster (so nothin you've printed yourself), then I recommend taking a look:

Graduations and Auditions

So. It happened. I knew, the day would come but somehow I never believed it.

Koharu gone.
Eri gone.
Ai gone.


Risa gone.
Aika gone.

Every member I loved is gone. Has left Morning Musume for good. The old Morning Musume, the Morning Musume I loved and appreciated and cheered on ... it doesn't exist anymore.

Sure, I really like the 9th gen... they're great ... not a big fan of 10th gen thought, but 9th is great. They really are...

Aww, who am I kidding?! Everytime I see one of the little girls, I am thinking:

Why are my idols gone but you are here?! You really don't belong here! Go home and give me back my Koharu, Eri, Ai-chan, Risa and Aika!!

It's stupid. I know that. It's not their fault. I've been a Morning Musume fan for many, many years now and I've seen several graduations. But UFA spoiled us fans with almost three years without a change. It made me forget about graduations. Morning Musume was perfect for me. And I just got used to the new formation ... I mean the kyukkies ... they shuffle everything around once again! Damn it!

Today is really sad for me... even though new auditions were opened.

Yep. That's right. Morning Musume 11th generation. And again the girls have to be between 10 and 17 years... another generation full of 12 year olds... Berryz Koubou and C-ute have no surpassed Morning Musume by age average. Feels weird. The H!P Kids aren't the kids anymore...

So, here my predictions! H!P Egg Miyamoto Karin will get into Morning Musume for the pleasure of 80% of the fans.

YouTube Dance Cuca is finally old enough to audition! I'm sure she will. But Tsunku usually prefers girls, he can mold ... like raw diamonds... on the other hand Riho was quite polished from the beginning.

Well, we'll see, what's going to happen!!

Maeda Atsuko to graduate from AKB48 ... or is she?!

A few minutes ago, I've read the news of AKB48's topstar Maeda Atsuko's gradution! Just imagine my surprise.

I've never been a die-hard fan of the ~48 enterprise but I have to admit, that they're being immensly popular to an extend, that no other Japanese artist has reached. They're obviously doing something right.

A lot of people "blame" this success on front girl Maeda Atsuko, who's been with the group from the very beginning.

And although I'm always going to be one of the people, who thinks that a group consists of more than just one person, there's been some examples of groups, whose success was faiding rapidly after the graduation of the most popular member.

Best example would probably be Morning Musume's Goto Maki. She was the top member for 3 years - during that time Morning Musume reached #1 with almost every single! After her graduation, sales fell so fast it's unbelievable!

Well I don't think that one girl is the reason for AKB's success ... I mean, there are like 47 others ... or how many they currently are.

I'm just wondering ... Is this real? Here's her announcement from Hello!Online:

"Since 14 years old, I've been here as an original member; this has been my life. It's a big decision for me, the 2nd biggest decision I've made. I'm going to graduate.
My moods are swinging easily and perhaps that has caused a lot of troubles for members. To stand in Tokyo Dome is my dream since I was 14 years old. But now, being 20, I remember that there's things that must be done to make dreams come true. I don't know what will come after this but I will work hard. The details haven't been decided yet., when it's been decided, I will tell everyone. Thank you very much"

After this speech Takamina responds with "AKB48 is not the end goal, this is the same for all members. Please support Atsuko's graduation!"

This is weird, don't you think? Right now I'm thinking, that maybe this is another promotion trick. You never know. AKB never had the BEST or most creative songs, but damn they know how to sell themselves and keep in the public interest.

And what does Takamina mean? Sounds to me, like she's trying to prepare the fans for more graduations to come. Every girl is building another career apart vom AKB48 ... just look at Itano Tomomi.

Well I'm really curious about the things to come.

And I'm not too shy to say, that I hope that now Morning Musume has the chance to gain some new fans!

I'm an actress and Wota World I

So, first of all. Yesterday was the opening performance of my theater group and it was AMAZING!!! We all weren't so sure about the play, but the audience was so great. They started laughing from the second phrase in the debut monologue. oO It was really cool.
I also think, I was really good! People were laughing with me, fierce with me ... and actually at one part, a few were crying with me.
Yes, I've cried. I have one really sad monologue and I was good during rehearsals, but never really ... you know, I think no one would have bought it. But yesterday. Everything was like rehearsal, but suddenly I felt the tears coming up and it wasn't on purpose I was just in the right mood, because I felt my character ... and then I cried and I really hat to fight the tears, so I could stay with the script. Some women were actually crying as well!!
I don't mean to be arrogant, but I think yesterday was the best performance I've ever did!! Maybe I can never repeat it, but it doesn't matter, because yesterday was brilliant. I can proudly say: I'm an actress.

But no something with pictures. Inspired by some other blogs, I want to show you my JPop collection ... and because I'm a H!P fan, I'm calling it my Wota World. Since there's so much, I'm only showing you the Momusu Singles today!

So far, I've got 11. I know there are 12 in the picture, but the two bottom rights are the same with a different cover. It's both Kono Chikyuu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatterun da yo - Ai-chan's graduation single.

The last one I got was this:

Pepper Keibu. It was a present out of the blue and I was really happy! It's always great to get older singles, because I want to have EVERY MORNING MUSUME SINGLE EVER MADE ... but it's impossible, you know? I can't afford to buy older singles, so I can buy the newest and support them. But Pepper Keibu looks really cool, especially Eri!

She looks so HOT with her hair like this. I saw her and thought: "Wow, this girl is supposed to be a movie star!" On the other side, it made me sad, because she's gone for over a year now...

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!

Morning Musume Only You Dance

I like to show you my newest Dance Cover on Youtube! Of course, it's Morning Musume's newest single "Only You"! I really like being a Youtube Dancer but sadly, most Germans are like really unsuccessful. Why is that?
Well, who cares anyway?

Fantasy ga Hajimaru

I won't start with the typical "Hi, my name is ..." like most of the others do.
Let's be honest. Starting a blog, finding a title and writing the first entry is hard work. Well, maybe starting a blog isn't, but everything else, if you want to be creative, sure is.
I hate titles. I really do. They have to be smart, catchy, maybe funny or mysterious, but as soon as people think you're stupid as bread, they'll never come back and good bye to your bright blogger career.
So, what does Resonant Blue stand for? Besides it is a song title from my favourite group, I really like the idea of sound and vision, combined to a great experience. I'm sorry to those, thinking I'm going to blog about my lovely Morning Musume all day and night, because it's not my intention. Go ahead, find yourself a JPop blog, I'm fine with it. Of course sometimes I'm going to talk about them, since they're a big part of my life, despite the fact I've passed 14 a long time ago. You can still love music, right?
By the way, this post's title is a Morning Musume song, too... I just hate thinking of titles. Luckily my parents don't think that way or I would be the nameless girl...

This is not my first blog. It's actually the third one. Only one of the others is still active and it wouldn't be a lot fun to you, since it's mainly in Japanese and quite dull. Some time ago I've lost interest in blogging, but today I've watched the movie Julie & Julia (which is great by the way) and I was reminded, why I startet in first place.
So I was thinking ... I'm not interested in looking back on my first blog, it's been almost 4 years and I've become a different person. I really like the idea of having a project like in the movie. Since I'm a passionated chef myself, cooking is an obvious idea, but it has been done and I'm lacking persistence. I'm not quite sure, what to do with this blog, but I'll figure it out! Maybe I should just talk about my life the way it is ... unspectacular. Maybe being that unspectacular makes it great!
Or maybe not.

That's what I got to find out.
