Chocolove from AKB48 had a plan to release their 3rd single at around same date with AKB48's Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?
Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?'s covers are out but...
HMV actually stated that Chocolove's stopped production.
どんだけ～～～！！！？？？

Times flies, time flies...
It's already been 4 months!!!
I wonder what should I post about this time...
Maybe I should address a frequently asked question..
..so frequently asked I get annoyed at times.
Why do you like Yuko??
Oh well, when asked that I usually prepared a few answers:
1) Yuko is very good at acting. She has the ability to make me feel as if my heart is crying even without herself shedding a drop of tear.
2) Yuko is very hardworking. She has made me learnt many stuff I didn't realize in the past.
3) Yuko is very talented, hardworking and cute idol..
Oh well, these are just a few reasons.
If I were to list them out, I think I can never finish listing reasons why I like Yuko.
Of course, it started just because of her great acting in Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou PV.
But as I learn to know more about her, I like her even more, and reasons for liking her increases..
Until now, and in future too, there're so many reasons I can never finish listing.
But the real reason for why I like Yuko, which I sort of realize after a while, is...
I like Oshima Yuko because she is Oshima Yuko.
Yep, that's the reason =)

9/22 Tokyo Game Show
It's nice that AKB48 has been invited to perform at this year's Tokyo Game Show.
15 AKB48 girls have participated, including Yuko (that's why I'm blogging XD)
They performed a total of 5 songs: BINGO!, Boku no Taiyou, Himawari, Takeuchi Senpai & Yuuhi wo miteiru ka?
Let's go back in time a little..
Yuko fan has reported that on 9/21's theater performance,
Yuko said she'd take note not to make weird faces again, and everyone went "EHHHHH?!"
How cute!
Sorry for being so random.
That's all for today =)

In case you're wondering what happened to this blog,
I haven't updated it for a week?!
Don't worry, I'm still alive XD
It's just that it has been a busy week. My mid-term test week, my birthday, and Japanese film festival w00t!!
I managed to catch Ashita no Watashi no Tsukurikata at the Japanese film festival.
Heard it's the first time this film is showing outside Japan.
Sypnosis:
Juri & Kanako are elementary school classmates. Kanako who used to be a popular figure in class suddenly started getting bullied. After they graduated and moved on to middle school, Kanako continued getting bullied. Due to some family problems, Kanako moved to another town. When Juri hears about it, she decides to get Kanako's e-mail and start e-mailing Kanako under the name Kotori. Kotori tells Kanako the story about Kotori and her friend, Hina.
Review:
The filmming style is somewhat like those of Japanese drama. Very simple and easy-to-understand. Acchan has screentime throughout the film, good news for all. The start might appear a little boring and choppy, but once it gets into the body of the story, everything speeds up. When the credits start to roll, you'd be like "Eh?! It has finished??? How fast!!" Trust me, you'd feel it's not enough. There're many small little humor parts to lighten the serious atmosphere of the film.
Since it's a story about school & behavior of people, I feel that the value is universal. Anybody who has gone to school or work would be able to relate to this story. It's truly a film which wouldn't lose it's value through time & context. Anybody, anytime, can relate to it.
And regarding Acchan's acting,... remember it's only her first film. It was pretty obvious on screen how Acchan's acting improves within the film itself. In the starting, Acchan was really pretty stiff at scenes with lines. Her eyes kinda wanders off sometimes and it was pretty obvious she's trying to recall her lines. But towards the middle, and in the climax, you can see how much she improves. Emotions on face, paralanguage in her lines,... everything picks up. It's glad to have Ichikawa Jun as director of Acchan's first film, isn't it?
Overall, it's definitely a film worth watching. And, it's a film that would leave you thinking after you leave the cinema. I personally feel that it's a film that would impact on us, actively or passively it doesn't matter. But you'd gain something out of it =) 5 out of 5 stars.

Mocchi~ Happy Birthday
During Mocchi~'s birthday celebration, I recalled my old self
Standing on AKB's stage, I was touched by & happy when I first received everyone's blessings...
Saying about I'd work hard to have more people know about me
When I look at Mocchi~, I kind of saw myself from the past
And, I thought I have grown up
I can never forget, during my birthday I said "I want to become actress who represents Japan"
I know I was bragging, but I will work hard to achieve it!
Mocchi~, Happy 18th Birthday!!

Today's holiday, what should I do??
I want to go to the library~~
But I don't know where the libraries are in Tokyo
I shall read at home or park
But I feel like going somewhere afar
The Me who likes to travel alone, went to a not-so-far place, Yoyogi Park.
I really wanted to go somewhere further but I slept a little too late
I brought a few books, lie down and read.
Today it was cloudy and cooling that was the best!
I could really concentrate and read
I've been reading this book "放課後の音符" by 山田詠美
It's a novel with many short stories. The protagonist is a girl around my age so I think about it when I read.
This is a book Sayaka recommended & lended me.
It's interesting. The protagonist is around my age but she's very matured. I think 山田詠美 wrote it from many age groups' points of view.
If it was me during my high school time, I wouldn't have thought like this so,
I wish I had chanced upon this book during those time
And,
I found an acorn under the tree
It's been long time since she pick up an acorn so I was happy. I wrote my name & wish on it.
Can u see it?? I wrote "ゆうこ"
And I threw into the sky wishing.
It's good to have such a break day once in a while

Hi all, thank you for your support!
The collection of Yuko Birthday Cards has ended yesterday.
Glad I've received quite a number of cards, so when Yuko sees it, she'd be happy too!!
For your information,
handwritten cards would be pasted first,
followed by digital cards,
and lastly, messages.
All handwritten cards have already been pasted onto the book
Digital cards will be printed next week
and Messages would be written next weekend after all my tests :)
80% of the English messages have also been translated to Japanese already.
The message album will be sent in the last week of September,
as there might be some delay in the process ^0^
The project is not going to be cancelled!!
I'm still working hard for Yuko!!
Yuko went back to her high school♪
It has been half a way since she graduated...
She even took a picture of her friend from the back
She went to school with this friend, and they recalled lots of memories
She went to the staff room and met her teachers
They said "Oshima's working hard! We see you on television often" and,
"Today, I talked about you in class." and Yuko was rather shocked.
When Yuko was in her 3rd year, she couldn't go to school every now & then due to AKB's schedule
She didn't even work well as a senior... "Oshima-san?! Yesterday I watched Densen Uta!!" Many people said that to her
She was so happy, embarrassed, and became kind of stiff
But she felt energized when everyone tells her about their support
More than any other thing, she felt her existence.
The entertainment circle is big and deep in Yuko's opinion.
Not many people know about "Oshima Yuko"
Even though they work hard,
sometimes it can feel scary too.
Every AKB member had the thought of whether doing what they are doing is worth it, and whether they should continue...
But it's because of everyone's support, that they could sustain.
It's not something a person alone can do it.
That's why we have to work hard!
But, I wouldn't say it's "Working hard"
Because I love my job.
More than "Working hard", I think it's like "Yep, I'm enjoying it"
What do everyone think about your job?
