Tuesday Tunes take it all

First it is last weeks single, this is another double sided single and here we finally have the mv.
I love the dance, and C-ute really brings the danceable songs don't they, even I, who never move feel the urge to let loose.
And I like the melody too of course. 


Juice=Juice has another single on the steps, and their musical sound is still mature even if it is less jazzy and more latino this time. It really does remind me of both "Namida no Iro" by C-ute and Morning Musume, (back when they were still just musumes) Iroppoi Jirettai. 
I love this song too, and if I close my eyes to the lyrics it's fine...

Tuesday Tunes Do you get it?




So Hello!Project has made another double sided single and this time both song are equally good! 
Very grown up, and I must say, this is the S/milage I know, fun and fast and quirky!

And on a side note, Morning Musume's last single outfit was red and black, Juice=Juice too and this is sort of red-pinkish and black, do you think℃-ute and Berryz Koubou's next single will have the same colour-theme? 

I think that the lyrics of both songs are quite good and I like the beat.
But if I should choose a favorite it would be the second one "Ii Yatsu".

First Kiss


I deceided that I might need to work on something I enjoyed for a few days before continuing on my fail-quest to see if I can improve my sewing skills, which are still sadly at the elementary school level:P
Now, why did I not pay enough attention in class XP

Next week I am cutting my hair so I am currently saving for that. I hope it will make me feel a little better. As grooming and shopping usually does;)

And since I am talking about first kiss, here is a song I love called first kiss. Little Airi is so cute!

Tuesday Ai no Gundan Joke

Finally, the music videos are out! Morning Musume (my favourite Japanese band you know) has made another double single, and I love BOTH of them. Which is rare. I usually love one and like the other, but to be honest, I don't have a favorite!

In Ai no Gundan though, they are wearing my favorite costume. Those red and black "uniforms" are great. The little berets are wonderful. My favorite Sato Masaki has lots of lines too. I love the start and ending of the dance, but I think I prefer the dance as a whole in the other video. I like the white parts too, even if they seem to come out of no where. Maybe they are the counterpart of the militaristic dance and costume and name of the song, the siniging in white clothes may show to peace and love, white flags and all that? They are after all standing and laying around in white and being inactive and pasifistic.

And I must say, thank God for safety-pants right Oda, Mizupon, Ayumi and Riho? (at 2:24) when they twirl. (incidently, the only ones in skirts)
Another funny thing which I feel their agency do all the time, is pair people, give them similar outfits and give them the same moves and place in formation. Like, Satou and Kudou, in this they are both in shorts (the only ones in shorts) and their bottoms and trousers are in opposite colours. In this video not one person is wearing the same costume in the same colour combination. See:


To wrap it up, I love everything about this song, and even if I prefer the other dance, there are nearly no awkward dance moves in this one!


While I love this song too, I am not so sure about the black and white shoes. But I love the fact that they are wearing both shoes from the other video, one black and one white, I am envious of those shoes^^

I like them all in pants, makes them look a bit like they used to in Kimagure Princess, exept those pants are white. They look so adult like in those pants. 

My favorite dance move is that pretend slap, it is great. I love it. Everyone just looks so happy.
And, not only is there several camera angles, but there is a location shot and costume change. It looks like a proper music video.

Tuesday One for the One.

I am hoping it is Tuesday and time for tuesday tunes. Anyway. I am rather exited for this song actually.
My favorites from both Berryz Koubou and C-ute singing a waaaay overdue duet. 



The - Fu part is the best, but the -Ah part is not that bad either, the dance is rather pleasing too. I like that they actually have a background, but what does that motorcycle have to do with anything is beyond me.... Another thing beyond me is what that "One for the One" line means.

 For those of us who remember W and their covers of The Peanuts and Pink Lady, this song has the same feeling. I can so picture Tsuji and Kago singing this. They always looked a bit more like twins than Sugaya and Suzuki though. (Since they are singing about twins in the song). But if Risako had a black wig they might look more like sisters, maybe not identical twins...

I think we have another contender in the harmony- department, after Tsuji-Kago there was no one to pick up the legacy. Dia Lady is great, not as great as GAM or W, but they might come far, and if Tsunku never gives Kudou and Satou a duet I fear we will suffer the loss of such great harmonies...
Also if Tsunku pairs Kudou and Satou up for a duet then we have another fun paring almost akin the infamous two-top! 


I have finished another portion of my "not so secret project" and I will show you in another post.
And then there is one.

Aah, Lets not just see the wood for trees?


It is Tuesday Tunes day. I think, it is vacation time for me so I am not overly confident that I can tell the days apart....

I truly love this song, it has been going on repeat the entire weekend :) It is very summery and sweet. I like how it is really japanese as well.

Up Up girls

I love the fact that Mori (meaning wood) is singing about mori mori... Very punny.
Oh, how I love puns. And she is green too, the punage.


I haven't really followed this group, but after seeing this, their first MV, I must say, I think I should....
Mori (the green one) and Konatsu (the pink one ) are my favorites. Yes, I already have favorites, I kind of like Saho Akari too (yellow) even if I sometimes forget her name and call her Aho (meaning stupid, oops, sorry.)



I used to like her way back when she was in Aa! 2, with Airi and Miyabi, ahh, that song was great!

Anyway I will be back with more stitchy stuff shortly.

I kept smiling because I didn't want you to hate me


So it is Tuesday tunes again, and I have two songs that I like this week:) The first is in Chinese and the other in Japanese. Edit/ I found the actual music video for the Chinese one, and it has a Alice in Wonderland theme. #happy

And since this is a stitching blog, here is a little guy I've been working on:) He is worked in one strand, which I don't like, but as he was a freebie and I don't have enough spare thread I just have to live with him looking a bit faint. But if I make him again I will make sure to use two strands. :) I love somebunny to love so I am certain I will make another if someone I know will give birth to a little boy^^



And I have made the bird from WOCS 204, but I as it will be a birthday card for someone who occasionally reads my blog I will not show you a picture. (most of you know how it looks I presume  too so)
But when gifted I will maybe out it up in my cards section.



The title today is from the above song, my favorite line from it, and I really can relate to it, but other than that it has no deeper meaning for this post.

Tuesday Tunes Operation Complete

Bunny got some new chew toys, since she has such itchy teeth. Lets see if she understands that this tunnel is meant for moving through and not just nibble on. Usually she does not do tunnels because she is under the impression that her bum is too big. Such a diva.

 This is bunny chewing on her toy basket. Where she actually goes and picks out her toy(s) of the day and takes out. Too bad she does not put her toys back in. ;) I wish she was THAT clever.

I am solo close to finishing another head....

And as promised, the song of the week, I had such a hard time choosing, but the decision fell on this: Same group as last. Morning musume. Found a subtitled version that is almost correct. I am loving the lyrics to this too.



Oh, and E2, I finally am on track doing more blogging. Now you go;)
