Problem with being an unemployed H!P fan...

...is that you have no money. I'm sure I am not the only one in this position. And I am sure I will not be the only one in this position in the future too. But I do hope that I can change this for myself. I am a normally shy person so I don't like to get out of the house as much as I would like to sleep in (lazy too~). So when I cam across something to get, even a little, money in I defiantly will go for it. So wish me luck so hopefully more Aika things can come rolling in.

Also check out the Aika Fan Family page on Facebook run by a friend of mine (even though I started the core fan family on H!O XP) here: Aika Fan Family on FB!. We even got Paul from Hello!Blog to join~! ♥

Pride and joy ♥

After ebay stalking this for about 9 days before I went in for an attack. I got this post with 45 seconds left and I don't regret the debt I owe my mother for it. I still haven't gotten the Seishun Collection single but I am planning to get the photos and the signed poster. Ah I will get it sooner or later.

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. ♥♥

Bus Tour #2: This time it's Lovely! >D

So when I heard from Sayumi's blog that the next Bus tour would be Sayumi and Ai I figured so since it was the last of the girls to be on one. But then Aika was added too?!?! What a shock. I thought for sure Junjun or Reina would be added to this one but I guess it had become 6th generation presents and that means it's Sayumi's turn. As you know last time Koharu was added to the Aika, Junjun, Reina tour. So needless to say I am very excited to see Sayumi, Ai, and Aika go at it. I got a Reika duet last time so now I am hoping for a Aitsui duet! That will be fun. Or may a duet with both of them? I think that happened on the GakiKameiLin tour. I almost have to wonder if they would kick these three for a KameiJunLin tour.......nah....Hopes are still up for a 8th gen PB though! Come on UFA! Don't let me down like you have always done in the past!

Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai Mitsui Caps

Hey guys! I've been pretty busy lately with things and I have found I am not able to go and review things for you guys as much. But I am starting a new feature by presenting you with Mitsui screencaps. For DVDs, pending how much Mitsui in them, I will cut back some just so I won't waste all your space.

So starting off new we have the new PV Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai. I didn't edit it at all from the Dohhh up rip. Expect better caps once I get my hands on the ISOs for the different PVs! Enjoy:

Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai Covers

The covers are out for the new single and I have to say I'm not too impressed with the Limited B cover like everyone else. I myself will be ordering the Limited A and maybe the regular one. For Mitsui fans she is in the front row for the Limited A cover (and next to Reina) so I wanna get that one and the regular cover looks nice. So get yours now!

Mitsui gets a new dog!

In a recent blog post by Mitsui she has stated that she was wondering if she should take in a new Siberian Husky puppy. Here is the quote from the post:

Also, there was another healing event!!!!!!!
A little while ago, my faaaavorite favorite type of dog,
a siberian husky, had puppies (*☆∨☆*)
I was super excited~!!!!!!! ☆☆
And so, I uploaded this ♪
Her sleeping face is sooo cute isn’t it (>_<*)(*>_<) Her paws are still pink too!! Sooooooo cuuuute (*∨▽∨*)☆ I was really thinking hard about whether or not I should take this puppy home (..) Well cuz.. the mom abandoned her (T_T)*tear* So sad (;o;) But... the puppy is at our house now ♪♪ I'll be sure to raise her up properly (^^)d☆
From the looks of the post I would say she adopted it. So meet the new member of the Mitsui family:

Happy Birthday Mitsui~!!!

Happy Birthday Mitsui!!!!


Happy happy birthday day to our Lovely Aika-Queen~!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas~!
I know it's a little late but I wanted to wish you all a Merry Mitsuimas~! lol Also I plan to work on Bright Smiles a bit more in the future. I will try! I have a laptop now so I can hopefully work on it any where.

Mai's boy friend

In a recent magazine article for °C-ute they were asked 100 questions to answer.

Suppose that - number 2. You were chosen to play the pretty heroine in an adolescence romantic comedy. Choose a "Hello! Project" member to play the male lead. Mitsui Aika-san

Mitsui has stated that she would like to play a boy in an anime. lol

New (temp) Leader of Guardians 4

At the end of the Party Time event the girls do a stop watch game of a game with white and red flags. Mitsui wins and thus results in new temporary leader. Because Mitsui wins she gets a solo CM for the next single (Going On! Is the title) which will be shown on TV!

Mitsui's graduation Message

(Not from Kusumi's graduation DVD but from the actual concert)

Aika: Congratulations on graduating.
Koharu: Thank you very much.
Aika: Up till now, I was about to see Kusumi-san... I envy how you can always keep cheerful. Isn't heartbreaking to hear it's "just right", being viewed from a distant... seeing how you were always asked, "Are you listening?" and even being a nuisance. And you'd answer, "Oh is that so?" It's hard to understand how you can always seem to be so care-free.
(Everyone laughs)
Even after being told, you were still always so cheerful, and I think that's great. I really look up to you for it. It feels good when I hear your voice. I hope we can have warm talks together again. Please continue to be yourself from now on for no matter what you'll be doing. Congratulations on graduating.
Koharu: Thank you very much.

Tsunku's comments

Sorry for the lack of updates but they will be coming faster now that I am almost done with my classes.



今のモーニング娘。の中で光井は癒しです。
声のトーンも、優しさも、立ち位置もすべてにおいて、
いろんなものを中和させてくれるメンバーです。

"Between everyone in Morning Musume now, Mitsui Aika is the one that heals.
The notes of her voice heals, too. In the standing position as well, she heals everything.
She's the member that neutralized many things for me."

This is a comment from Tsunku's blog at the end of the Nine Smiles Tour, he did one for every member.

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!
