Kumai Yurina in CM of Base Ball Bear’s new album

Posted by TydusArandor on August 28, 2009

Wow — kids seriously change fast. Haven’t been checking out her stuff recently and now she’s this pretty young lady here? What a pleasant surprise. So how tall is she now?

The CM is pretty… weird to be honest. Initial reactions as I watched it:

  • Ahh, wind blowing and everything looking cool — youth!
  • … You’re not gonna put that lemon to your mouth are you?
  • HOLY SH- WHAT IS THAT RED STUFF COMING OUT THE OF THE LEMON!? WTF!?!

Yeah what.

Pretty refreshing stuff from Berryz’s usual happy-go-lucky stuff though. Haven’t checked out Base Ball Bear’s stuff (or even heard of them before), won’t just because of this CM, and probably will forget about them from now on, but this was an interesting CM.

Berryz Koubou – Seishun Bus Guide PV

Posted by TydusArandor on May 17, 2009

Wha, what kind of a setting is this? A bunch of horny schoolboys wanting the sexy Bus Guide?

Dear God.

I love it.

In other news, this is exactly what is happening to me and my blogging life right now.

Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic

Except in my case it’s the MMORPG Mabinogi. I’m completely addicted.

Latest H!P PVs – Naichau Kamo & Fly away

Posted by TydusArandor on January 20, 2009

This is sort of an excuse to talk about Mizuki Nana’s 29th birthday without making a post about her. Happy birthday, Nana-san! :D Moving on.

Morning Musume – Naichau Kamo

Wow. Do I smell plagiarism? Or is it just a coincidence because both songs have “tears” as a theme and naturally tears = water = “OMG RAINSTORM!!1″?

Putting that aside, I actually like the PV but please, can we have everyone look just a bit different? I’m not looking for a costume to be 500% different from another or anything, just maybe little things like colour or accessories. I’m actually quite impressed with some members’ acting skills (like Ai-chan’s). Line distribution was not great, but not as terrible as the disaster that was Resonant Blue either, though I still found myself forgetting about some people until they appeared like three quarters into the video.

I hadn’t heard the preview of the song before watching this. I don’t think it’s a bad song at all, but my “ktkr 神曲” radar isn’t picking up anything major yet.

Brains,

Meet Brawns.

Get along, ‘kay?

So the story is about a super genius boy, Touma Sou (Nakamura Aoi), and his sidekick, a stronger-than-your-average-boy girl, Mizuhara Kana (Takahashi Ai). Together, they solve murder mysteries blah blah. I wrote a post about this already.

Nakajima Megumi Live Christmas Eve Event

Posted by TydusArandor on December 25, 2008

Nakajima Megumi

Nakajima Megumi AKA Mamegu

Nakajima Megumi had a live event broadcasted on Nico Nico yesterday. I happened to somehow remember it (despite not being much of a fan) so I went and watched it anyway. It was from 2AM till 4AM my time, which was quite inconvenient ._.

Note: I recorded only half of these performances, so I don’t really remember the order of what happened, only that it happened. I’d upload what I recorded, except I don’t know anything about video compression and right now my raw recorded my file is sitting at over 900 MB. Someone else will upload it on Nico/Youtube anyway, so I’ll just wait for them. Looks like Nico’s going to be mean about this: several videos have already been deleted. I guess we’ll have to make do with my crappy audio clips and your vivid imagination.
