Sorry guys! Currently, I don't have any time for blogging!
There is so much stuff going on, not only with university and music, but also in my life. It's been really crazy and I've got to know many new things, that I have to think about before I can share them with anyone else.
Anyway ... tomorrow Renai Revolution will have a concert at Ongaku Matsuri! I've just practiced and I made some mistakes. Damn it, I AM SO NERVOUS!!! Haaa ... wish me luck.
Last week's Friday, I've attended another very interesting event!
Kanon x Kanon were in Berlin for their Europe tour kanonxkanonxkanon and I was there!
Kanon x Kanon are Wakeshima Kanon and Kanon from An Cafe. I didn't know much about them, but I had a Wakeshima Kanon CD before and decided, it would be fun to go!
It was SO cold - first minus degress this winter - but there were so many girls, dressed as lolita, waiting outside. They must have the greates heat inside their bodies, because I was wearing triple layers and still freezing!
Luckily we were able to go inside really quickly, where I bough a Kanon x Kanon T-shirt (so cute!) and ... for no reason whatsoever ... bismark doughnuts (Why are they called bismark?? In Germany, they're called Berliner and in Berlin pancakes ... funny, huh?).
Concert started of really great. Wakeshima Kanon-chan started with a 30 minute solo performance, filled with songs from her two albums. She worked really hard and did her best, but she had cought a cold and somehow her energy was a little low. But that's alright! I mean, she was ill and still went on stage and looked gorgeous!
Then it was Kanon-san's part ... and it was a little weird. He wasn't singing or playing bass, he was just the DJ, standing behind his laptop, playing Anime videos with techno for half an hour. It was really weird ... and loud.
FINALLY, they appeared togeth for the last 30 minutes! She sang different songs with him playing bass and they were also dancing and covering anime songs. It was really great!
I totally love "Dolls" ... or what the name was...
I'm a little sad Kanon-chan hat only two outfits ... she should have worn more, because she always looks beautiful!
You can check a few impressions here! Lau.chan and I made this video together (well, again, I'm behind the camera, when she's speaking...):
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!
