Slow update

Sorry I am so bad about updating this blog now guys. With my school work going on it's just a lot of stuff going on. But I will try to get better! And about the give away, I don't officially get paid for another two weeks. So none of the first round of goods I will be able to get for you guys. But the second round of goods looks just as good and I will be getting goods from the 2nd update to give away!

The good I think you guys will be happy with is:

Mitsui Aika, Rival Surival Cell phone strap

This one looks very much like the same design as the PikaPika one:

And I really loved using this one. I used that strap for a long time, and if I didn't switch to an iphone I would still be using it. So I will be getting two of these.

Next is group sets:

The one set is from the calender which is super simple and pretty this year. The next one is a new one which I love. I am glad I have a job because this set of concerts is, like, too good to be true. The poll winner was group set, so I will be getting an extra one of these as well. Haven't picked which one. Maybe that will be the next poll question.

Then 2L's

Aika is looking especially cute in these 2Ls and I can't wait to get my hands on them. The black outfit is super cute and I love her hair in the all the sets. ♥ Also honorable mentions:

Reina because that blue looks amazing on her and Linlin because she is making her initials in the head shot one with her fingers. Love it!

Aika at Dinner Show

From Reina's blog Aika went and brought Eri, Sayumi, and Reina a snack before their dinner show. It seems that she stuck around to watch the show. ♥ Reina also said that the mothers of the three girls were also there so I wonder if Aika had fun being with Mrs. Tanaka, Mrs. Michishige, and Mrs. Kamei.

And something unrelated to Aika I want to talk about is the actual dinner show. The playlist for it came out and I was very excited to see Akai Freesia on the playlist! I mean I know a lot of people were hoping that they would sing it for the final concert of Rival Survival (still a chance to sing it) but this truly is the 6th gen song. And Sayumi singing Semi, my favorite old school Berryz Koubou album song. ♥♥ And Reina is singing a GAM song, not too surprised but I can't wait to hear.


Also want to tell you all that HelloStore USA has restocked some photo sets as well as has the Fashionable goods up I got the two I posted above but I think I want the body shots for the one of the right. But for now I got a C-ute set I have wanted and a S/mileage set. I need more S/mileage. ♥

Cutie Aika~

From Reina's blog today she talks about the plane ride, and I quote:

Right, after this we're heading on the plane

Aika, who is next to me, is shoveling down her fried rice


Aika's pigging on her food because she skipped breakfast （lol）

seems that she's really hungry

Haha! Oh Aika you silly girl. Can't say that I don't do the same either though.

Also some news for a gets post I suppose (I don't wanna steal chibilolli's idea) but I wanted to share what I got for the graduates:

I really love the sets but the Eri one is a bit lighter than I thought it was going to be and the Junjun one is darker than I thought, but I don't mind about it being a bit darker. I added fan pics section I like (on the side bar). This one is from the torrent from Paul's blog *Hello!Blog*. Go check out his blog if you haven't already. I'm pretty sure you guys all know him anyways from the hello!blog polls he does. I got a free CD from it this year~! Also the My Collection page will be up soon I hope. Gotta get off my lazy butt and take pics.

Morning Musume in Hunan province??

So news from Reina's blog is that Morning Musume is in China in the Hunan province. I do believe this is where Junjun was born. So I wonder if Tsunku is going to try to sell this "going back to China" thing a bit better by having some more interaction between the two places for Junjun and Linlin.


I still am unsure how I feel about graduating Linlin off. Kamei for medical reasons I could deal with and then with Junjun since I figured she would be coming sooner or later because she was older than Linlin. But Linlin does have one of the better voices in Musume despite her short comings when it comes to faster songs. But she is the ballad queen! Ah well. I guess I have 4 months to get use to the idea?

In these pictures the girls are eating dinner. Reina and Aika's reactions to the food is awesome.

Edit: Looks like on the plane ride to China Kamei and Sayumi sat next to each other on the plane as did Reina and Aika! Oh be still my little pairs heart. ♥♥

The year of 2009

The year of 2009 was an exciting one for members of Musume as well as many other people. Some events were more exciting than others. But here is the list of the fun events from the year 2009!

First off who could forget the emotional graduation of the Elders Club from Hello! Project. Although Mitsui worked with few members of them she was still in the graduation.


Then Mitsui started of this year by being the only member to host Yorosen! for 2 weeks in a row on her favorite things: Pets! Included a large photo of her own dog Leo


Then another big thing is Mitsui was placed in her second subgroup: Gurdians 4 which out lasted the expected 2 single run the previous group had.


And who forget Musume's huge announcement that they were going to be heading to America for Anime Expo?!


And once she returned from the USA Mitsui took part in a stop animation film called Yume no Hakoniwa. It also featured Hello! Project members (past and present) Abe Natsumi, Iida Kaori, Tsuji Nozomi, Yasuda Kei, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Ogawa Makoto, Tokunaga Chinami, Kumai Yurina, Sugaya Risako, and of course Mitsui.


Next was Risa and Mitsui riding the giant spider in Yokohama which was originally used as display only. So they are some of the few people who ever got to ride it.


Then shortly after that was a reunion with former Musume members to perform Love Machine for former member Yaguchi Mari who was in a tricycle race as part of the hexagon channel.


Later this fall we had the FC bus tour with Koharu, JunJun, Reina and Mitsui. I believe there was 11-12 buses that brought around fans to hang with our girls. And a mini concert which had an Osaka Koi no Uta duet from Reika.


And of course there was the singles that made this year great! Starting off with Naichau Kamo which started the rend of solo shots for each girl. Than the #1 single Shouganai Yume Oibito than there was Nanchatte Renai, 40th single and it reached 70k. Finishing up this year was Kimagure Princess which was Mitsui's 10th single in Musume. A good year for Musume so far.



Than the most important thing in my mind this year had to have been the Nine Smiles tour. The tour that ended the longest stead line up in Morning Musume history. The graduation of Kusumi Koharu from Morning Musume. This is my mind has been the most emotional event of the whole year.


And those were some of the most important events in the year of 2009 for Mitsui. Honorable mentions would have to Mitsui's placement in Tanpopo# as well as Musume's return (Mitsui's first) appearance on Music Station. It was a fun 2009 for me and Musume. So let's see were 2010 will take us!

Fanclub Bus Tour Goodies

(Photo sets and key chain from bus tour)

After an early morning class (reasons for which I have not updated as much) I headed to a friend's house to sign up for more classes next semester. After hours of trying to find classes I was browsing Hello! Online and I saw a link up for the FC Bus tour coming up this weekend with Mitsui, Koharu, Reina, and Junjun.


(Photo set holders, shirt with photo cards, and "Izu cake photo" from bus tour)
Clicking on it, not thinking too much about it, I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw (My friend on the other hand was confused with my reaction). All the girls are amazing looking (on average) but something about these sets are just amazing with Mitsui. She looks so great in a purple yukata. Her cute little face shines in this set truly.


(Izu event bag and a Mitsui fabric towel from bus tour)
I've never really considered getting a fabric towel before, I mean the one for P9D was awesome and I totally fell in love it but I didn't buy it. And the one for Nine Smiles was okay but being that purple is my favorite color I just can't go with out it. I think is a must buy! It's not up for ordering yet but it may be soon. So keep an eye out at the Hello Store USA or the local auction site.
