Today, idol group AKB48's members attended a talkshow for movie "Densen Uta" at Shibuya: Akimoto Sayaka, Oshima Yuko, Maeda Atsuko.
This is the 2nd horror film by the producer Akimoto Yasushi, who also produced "Chakushin Ari". Staged in a high school, it's a story about searching the truth regarding the song that when sang, one would die, which is said to cause the heroine's (Oshima Yuko's character) friend's (Maeda Atsuko's character) suicide.
It is said that they performed some spiritual ceremony before the entire production shoot. "I didn't have any inspiration, I'm actually weak at horror. But it's a different kind of horror from Chakushin Ari," said Oshima Yuko.
According to fans in Japan who have participated in today's handshake event at Ishimaru Soft 1,
there was a poster about Acchan's (Maeda Atsuko) movie "Ashita no watashi no tsukuri kata" DVD release.
The DVD would be.. "Ashita no watashi no tsukuri kata" DVD
4,935yen
Releasing on 9 November 07
Yesterday we have a new blog entry on FC restricted blog from Yuko.
Apparantly, she went to FujiQ for Densen Uta attraction ceremony.
She mentioned that she disliked how they tested her guts by telling her horror tales in the make-up room..
Eventhough she seems to be unaffected, she actually dislikes horror tales
And they went to the Densen Uta attraction 3 times!!
3 times that she safely passed through since she was too familiar with it..
Yuko also mentioned that she loves the screaming machines
so if she has a boyfriend who doesn't like it, she wouldn't like that boyfriend
And Acchan likes screaming machines too..
So they sat together and screamed out
The wind went into Yuko's eyes much it forced out tears from Yuko's watery eyes..aww..
The photograph taken during rollercoaster ride!
Yuko saw Densen Uta poster at the back!
How nice!!!
so all the tourists' photographs are gonna get densen uta-ed? hahaha!!!

According to some fans in Japan,
in today's "Countdown Japan" radio show,
Itano Tomomi mentioned about "this summer, I've tried my first time to have a shoot in Bikini. It was white!"
Tomochin in bikini?
I wonder if it was her alone, or it included other members too..
I guess it's for magazine most probably?
I came across a notice about Sayaka's Birthday Messages Project by its creator. And I commented that living abroad I wouldn't be able to send her even if I want to.
If u have no idea what I'm talking about? The fans in Japan like to make birthday projects for the girls. They put up boxes, paper & decorative pens in the theater counter and let fans write in birthday wishes for the AKB48 girls.
Then, I was surprised to receive a message from the creator that he would like me to join in too!
ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ
He said he checked that I might not make it by 26/7 to snail mail my message in so he let me write, scan & e-mail him my message, then he'd print it and include my message in my booklet for Sayaka.
How nice ＼(゜□゜)／
I feel so touched o(^^o)(o^^)o
Gotta write my message now for Sayaka!!!
I was chatting with poke just now regarding Shuffle concert DVD.
During the Making-of, Sayaka commented that she wanted to try out Bird, but changed her mind and said Nage Kiss de uchi otose instead.
So we were wondering, if Sayaka was in Nage Kiss,
what would be the dream unit for Nage Kiss
a total different feel.
We came up with 6 members.
- Oshima Mai
- Kojima Haruna
- Shinoda Mariko
- Miyazawa Sae
- Akimoto Sayaka
- Watanabe Shiho
an average height of 164cm, and pretty low voices for everyone compared to others in AKB48.
It's gonna be a kickass group for Nage Kiss de uchi otose!
Yeahh!!!! That was fast!
The release date's yesterday and I got my copy today!!
It was shipped the day before the release date (early releases ftw!)
Immediately unwrapped and played the DVD
how excited i can be!!
I love this concert!..eventhough it's not like I was there live,
but the set design, it's like a playground..like disneyland imo..there's even a castle behind!
And the song list was really good, with many fun & high songs
So enjoyable!!
I'll start on with a review..but not for every song k?
(***SPOILERS AHEAD***)
01 Overture
I love the overture somehow,
with the cloth in front for some "mystery" and spotlights shining from the back of the girls it casted shadows on the cloth.
It was rather sexy though
03 BINGO!
The new single! They pulled off the dress from the previous song and the stage suddenly turn really colorful. I love red, so I was glad Yuko was in red too. She looked rather like a Minnie Mouse with the red ribbon. That was cute!! Please do not tell me if you haven't heard of this song yet. It's so enjoyable I danced to my screen! (like I always do)
05 ~MC~
As usual, the girls did self-introduction one by one. But when it comes to Mariko's turn, the girls gave Mariko a big surprise by singing Tanjoubi no Yoru's chorus abruptly. And they pushed out a cake with Hamtaro figure on top and a bouquet of sunflowers. Of course, Mariko was touched
06 Tada ima renai chuu
Did I mention that this is one of my favorite AKB48 songs? Nah I didn't. I really love this song and I got addicted to it the first time I heard it. The refrain gets stucked in my mind, actually the rest of the entire song too. I'm glad this song was included in the setlist!! It really suits the entire playground theme. And I love the costume For dance, I love the part they all sat down, it was like line dance.
07 Ki ni naru tenkousei
Another fun song. Team K is really energetic aint they? Anyway, I included this song in my review just because...*look at my screencap*. Yuko, what are you doing to Tomoo?
09 Nounai Paradise
I didn't like this song much at first when I listened to the album. But in concert, it's one fun song!! Another song that suits the playground theme too much and stuck in my head, just like Tada ima renai chuu. I love the dance too, especially when small sized Yuko dance to it, really cute!!
12 Kimi wa Pegasasu
I can't get enough of the costumes!! They look like Bishounen in it, especially Sae I can't stop fangirling over it. 4 "Princes" Sayaka & Kayoho~'s voices were really good in it. Love it! Let's fangirl~!
13 Junai no Crescendo
Hey, another of my favorite song!! Eventhough I'm not much of a fan of Kojima Haruna, she's really pretty in this costume. I don't know why but this costume keeps reminding me of MARIA's costume. Anyway, Miichan looked really good too. And I seriously think that Takamina would look better with the pineapple hair..
14 MARIA
MARIA~! MARIA~! MARIA~! <- my reaction. Another phrase stucked in my head. Yuka's voice was astounding in this song isn't it? And Tomoo looked soo cute I wish Umechan was there too (→o←)ゞ The costumes look rather like gothic lolita in my opinion, and I love the props - short mic stands.
15 Faint
Sexy, hot. How much better can it be? Some kinda R&B Pop songs, I love this genre. I bet Tomochin loves it too, since she's a fan of Amuro Namie & SPEED. But holy god, Tomochin's hotpants are short enough!! It felt kinda wrong though, since she's like 15/16 only. But when I saw it live when I was back in Japan, it didn't look that short (somehow..) and I was like "nice legs..." -faints- (that's why the title? ok no joke..) OOPS, Sorry! Okay, I love the piano in the music, haha *tries to change topic*
16 Naki nagara hohoen de
My all-time favorite member, Yuko's solo song!! She's got the entire stage for herself
White furry dress, she looked like a princess. Some lip gloss on her lips that makes her lips shine as she smiles, and the watery large eyes that seem to be looking faraway, I felt like I was in heaven. Are you a human? Or are you an angel?
Okay, I better stop it. She was singing live!! And it was gooooood, except towards the end she cracked once, but it's forgiveable (Oh man, how can I ever blame Yuko? )
23 Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou
Somehow, I prefer this performance to Seifuku ga jama wo suru performance. Must be the editors' fault. Too many skirt closeups in Seifuku ga jama wo suru it turns me off. Anyway, when the music starts, don't you feel like the drum beats is pumping your heart? Maybe that is why I prefer Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou in live.
26 Dear my teacher, Korogaru ishi ni nare
Yeah!! I haven't mention how much I love OL fashion. And I'm so glad to see them in blazers, melts me. Especially Yuko in blazer..looks pretty cute (Sorry for always talking about her).
And in Korogaru ishi ni nare, "OL" girls turning into stones!! Okay, lame. Anyway, Korogaru ishi ni nare is another great song for you to get high and high and HIGH! in concert. I just kept punching into air. I didn't like team A's version in shuffle con as much. Might be because team K has more strong & low voices, like Sayaka. Anyway, they wore hats! And the different kinds of hats really suit the members wearing them.
29-End
As usual, the concert ends with the unforgettable memorable AKB48 songs - Sakura no Hanabiratachi, Skirt Hirari, Aitakatta
Okay, that's the end. Thanks for reading this long long long blog post till the end. Don't worry, I seldom do that. I'm kinda lazy too. But this concert is really great and I definitely recommend it. It's worth the 6000yen. Eventhough some videos are already up on Youtube and I guess the entire concert would be up for download soon but, trust me, it feels different watching on DVD and big-screen televisions. Buy it Buy it!
Sayaka & Kayoho~'s voices were really good in it. Love it! Let's fangirl~!
