Fukuoka Asia Collection ☆
26 March 2012. 22:18:28

We attended Fukuoka Asia Collection yesterday 

It was really very exciting 
I’m really happy since I’ve not been to Fukuoka for a live for such a long time 
There were some who came with their Kanayan Tour heart lightsticks, and even though they were sitting really far away, I could still see them, and that got me really excited 

Thank you 

Fukuoka is really full of fashionable people  It was really cold there yesterday, but there were many who came in their spring fashion coordinations 

But it was really so cold— 

It’s already the end of March, so I guess it’s about time to look at what’s trending this spring 

So let’s start with shoes. Recently, I’ve been in love with these thick-soled Oxfords 

(Both from ESPERANZA)

They’re available in many different colors, such as pink/white bicolor, but I got these which go well with most outfits 
I think my manager-san got the yellow/green pair though 

When the days start to get a little warmer, I want to start wearing this heeled sandals  

(DIANA)

Can’t wait 
I just want to wear those spring/summer clothes soon

The 84th National High School Baseball Championship
22 March 2012. 14:23:49

I’m a day late, but my alma mater Mie High School did a breakthrough opener during the very first match after the opening ceremony  
Congratulations 

Hearing my school song filled me with lots of passion 

Looking at this year’s schedule on the school website, it seems that we have the exact same schedule this time as we did in 1969, when we came out overall champion. Seeing that made me even more excited 

I’ll be supporting the next match too!!

My Baby
16 March 2012. 13:31:18

I recently said that I’ll talk about SAKURA, I love you?’s coupling tracks,
「My Baby」 and 「sweet sweet」 

Reading everyone’s comments on this blog, I’m glad to see that the coupling tracks are well-received too 

And everyone has shortened SAKURA, I love you? to “sakurabu”!!
So I’ll use that too 

And so, let’s start with 「My Baby」

This song has the same theme as sakurabu, a song about past and present boyfriends.
However, the protagonist in this song is more mature than the one in sakurabu.
The music was made in a Western ballad style too, so it gives off a mature adult atmosphere.

In fact, I made this track My Baby even before sakurabu 

In sakurabu, the bias is towards the former boyfriend, but in My Baby, it’s the other way round.
The protagonist restrains her heart and chooses the happiness she sees in front of her, with the current boyfriend.

Is everyone of the sakurabu type?
Or the My Baby type?

And then, 「sweet sweet」 

As the title says, it’s a sweet~ sweet~ song 

It’s a song about a strong-willed little devil of a girl, who truly shows off her cute side only to her boyfriend 
Usually, the 3rd song in my singles are the fast-paced electone-based songs, but this one’s a slower and cuter piece 

As Mass-san calls it,  Palatial R&B 
A type of R&B that goes well with a chandelier 

I don’t really get it, but in short, it’s about the beloved perspective of a girl 
It’s a little unrealistic, but it’s sparkly, cute and romantic 

This must be what a girl’s heart must feel when thinking of her beloved boyfriend 
Everyone, please listen to this while thinking of your beloved as well 

By the way, I’m having sweet~ sweets nails now

March 11th
11 March 2012. 18:47:28

A year has passed since the great earthquake disaster.

It was a long year for me.
It was a year which made me think hard
about the things which I could do.

Although what I can do is just a tiny bit
I wish that, through my songs,
everyone will be encouraged to face forward and walk on.
I wish that no matter where everyone is, I will be able to send energy to them.
I wish to make everyone smile.

I pray this from my heart, through my faith in the power of music.

For those who have lost their lives in the disaster,
I pray for their happiness in the next world.
