Pictures are up~Loveccino ♥

Good Evening~

There are days when you're so tired you almost weep at the sight of your bed.

Today is one of those days.

By the way....

I have some solo shots up~

Recently, I've been taking pictures of wall art that I find when I'm walking around the city.

Here are a few that I think are okay to post:

This one is so cute~

Even though it's cold, I actually still enjoy walking around the trendy parts of NYC~

But soon it will get too cold to even be outside for more than a few minutes....

I'm not looking forward to that!!!!

I suddenly enjoy walking around the city, now that warm weather is gone?

Also!

Ari and I have uploaded a new video~!!!



It's T-ine's choreography to "Loveccino".

It's extremely cute and we wanted to cover it as soon as possible~

If you enjoyed it, please share~!!!!

That's all for now~

MORNING MUSUME。'14 NYC

Good evening~!!

I got back from the concert a few hours ago.

It was sooooo good

I finally got to meet some of the people whose videos I've been watching for years!!

First, I ran into Bekah~!!

Shortly afterwards, I saw Berry from FrolicLassie~!

I wish I had been able to speak more than a few words to them.

We ran into them while trying to find the end of the line and I didn't see them again afterwards.

I planned on looking for them and a few others again after the concert but I felt so nauseous and fatigued that I went home as soon as the concert was over.I'm not sure if I can blame it on my slow recovery from being on antibiotics for over a week or my general feeling of being drained after interacting with huge crowds for several hours.

Ah, but there were also several people who recognized Ari and me from our channel!

Thank you so much for walking up to us and saying hi if you did~!

Anyways it really was a great show~!!

We were let into the theatre at 3:00pm. Ari and I headed straight for the merchandise line so that we could hopefully buy a CD that would guarantee us a spot at the handshake event. But the line was so long that we gave up and headed for the stage.

I thought the venue was pretty cool. I think the turn out was only at about a thousand so even though we were at the back of the line we had a pretty good view of the stage.

The show finally started at about 4:15ish.

I don't think I can talk about what happened in chronological order so I think I'll just make bullet points.

Firstly, I didn't realize just how much of Morning Musume's music was dance music before this concert. Listening to the arrangements on crappy laptop speakers is one thing but experiencing it in a concert hall with huge speakers is completely different. There were some songs I couldn't fully appreciate until today.

Seriously, H!P knows how to arrange electric music.

Kudou

Duu is my number one Oshi in Morning Musume and she performed on the side of the stage that we were on most of the time so I was extremely happy. She was absolutely flawless. She doesn't get many lines but I like watching how comfortable she is on stage and she always has fun even when she's not doing much. I watched her a lot.

Sakura

Every since I saw Sakura's message in English she's won a spot in my heart. Not only was she extremely adorable today but her voice was so powerful! I'm confident that she'll only improve from now on.

Iikubo

Poor Haruna is actually extremely awkward on stage. She not a very good dancer but somehow that made me love her even more.

Zukki

Today the audience cheered extremely loudly for Kanon before she even introduced herself and all of the members were extremely surprised. We were able to show Zukki that we love her and I felt so proud! She really is a strong performer and I enjoyed watching her!

Eripon

Erina looked so tired. I don't really remember that much about her. There was one time that she smiled and waved at the audience and it looked like true happiness came through. Maybe she's just very focused when she's dancing.

Ayumi

Ayumi is a pretty strong dancer. But I don't remember much about her. Maybe I paid too much attention to Kudou.

Riho

Everyone can shut up about Sayashi not deserving to be center because this girl has amazing stamina. It felt like at times her energy in the front is what held the group together. This became even more apparent when they did several songs back to back and some members started to get tired.

Mizuki

Fuku-chan. I absolutely adore her. She's probably my second favorite in Morning Musume. Her presence is much more subtle than the fiery performance that Riho or Ayumi bring to the stage but she was just so fluffy and perfect. To me she's like the Sugar Plum Fairy of Momusu.


Maa-chan

Maa-chan is so mischievous, She was laughing at Sayumi struggling to read her thank you speech to the audience in English. She's such a brat, I love it!


Sayumi

Chayu the dependable leader. Sayu the cutest girl on the planet. It amazed my how well she fit into a group of girls, some almost half her age. I'm so grateful that I got to see her live before she graduates. She really is a top idol. I'm going to miss her so much!!! And I'm so glad I got to hear her go "ufufu~♥" when she laughs in person as well!

My favorite numbers were probably TIKI BUN, Wakuteka Take a Chance, and Shabonbama.

By the time they sung their last number I couldn't believe two hours had actually passed.

I was having so much fun~!

I almost cried several times during the encore. They sung "Toki wo Koe, Sora wo Koe". They even wore the original outfits!  I'd actually just re-watched the PV this morning and sobbed so I'm proud of myself for not bursting into hysterics during their performance.

It was glorious. Those dresses are so gorgeous. 

They also sung Happy Daisakusen as their final song that I don't know that well but it's much more upbeat that your typical H!P closing song so it didn't feel like my heart had been completely ripped out. As they waved goodbye I only had the feeling of completeness. I really am glad I got to see them

Thankfully I was able to grab a microfiber towel at the merch booth in Kudou's color.  Besides a handshake ticket, that's really all I wanted!! I have no clue what I'm going to do with it...

At least it feels nice!!

My next goal is to go to BabyMetal's concert this November!

As well as to not become extremely sick the week before!

And now to rest.

I walked a lot.

Good evening.

Today I walked around Central Park all day.

Over ten miles, easy. 

It makes up for how many pumpkin donuts I've been eating recently

I also met Alice and Mad Hatter at the Bethesda Fountain!

They were so cuuuuuute. 

You guys I'm so excited about this week!!!

Tell you later!!!

Ciao ♥

SOHO♥Birthday Cheesecake

 So my mom took Ari and me down to SOHO yesterday :)

STORY MODE:  （笑）

We went into the oddest store I've ever seen. It looked like an attic. It was a clothing store but there were clothes artistically strewn about the place. If I could describe it, I would describe it as a room full of possible coordinates. A dress and scarf thrown over an old chair, three shirts in similar shades pinned to a wall, a piece of fabric hung on a clothing line. The light was dim but the clothes couldn't be anymore colorful, outrageous, strange and creative so the that room was very busy. They were all clothes that could stand on their own as a conversational piece, but could only be improved with other layers as well. Every piece was original; one of a kind and well made.



From one particularly large lumps of fabric an old woman in layers or textured, ruffling  flowing fabrics appeared. Her already paled face was powdered white and she had marked her face in line or blue and red paint across her eyebrows and cheek bones. She looked odd to say the least. I was a bit hesitant to walk further in the store. Not that I had wanted to in the first place...

She said "hello" to us in the soft, strange elderly voice I had expected and showed us around her small crowded store. If you ever talked to this woman and walked around her store, you'd find yourself moving just as slowly and talking just as quietly as she does.

Oddly everything we tried on in the store fit perfectly. Now my mother is no size six and all of these clothes come in one size as they are all one of a kind. But if you held up a piece of clothing, like it and tried it on, you'd fnd that it would fit you perfectly. I found myself a fun hat^^

SOHOでかわいいぼしを買った！

It's hand made with different fabrics and stitches and I think the ball on the front is real fur ;A; But it's SO cute and Mori I had to get it!
I was also kind of expensive for a hat (45 dollars x____x) so my mom bought it for me as a birthday present! ^___^

I still haven't decided what I want to do for my birthday this Friday...but I was pleasantly surprised today :D

お誕生日の前にのチーズケーキです。

 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
WITH AN EPIC HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE♥ OMNOMNOM


We can't celebrate on Ari and my birthday becuase Ari has work so they brought it to us today ;A;

ಥ⌣ಥ
Thank you guys!!!!!


I'll be moved into my new apartment for school six days from now and I can't wait to go back to school and start choreographing again :D

いじょうでした！！！

Ciao♥

Downtown

Today my term as a temporary employee ended ;A;

I complained about my job  a lot on twitter but at the end of the day it's what's paying for furniture for my new apartment.

But because I had no work today, I was able to hang out with my friend on her birthday :D
She turned 19 today^^

Today one of the girls that I shared a hotel room with at Otakon was in town so we decided we'd hang around Times Square today.

Times Square can be very exciting becuase of the lights, ads and attractions but it can also be very confusing because of the amount of people during the day. The streets can also get terribly crowded sometimes so be a fast walker, wear comfortable shoes and stay together. Also, most clothing stores won't have a bathroom but the restaurants and fast food places are usually nice about letting you use the restroom....

MOVING ON!

First we went to the HUGE Toys R' Us store. I didn't take any pictures....but we played DDR! I played in HEELS and the bottom on one heel came off ;A; It was alright though becuase the way that its made I was able to stick it back on like a Lego piece. It's actually a sturdy shoe=/


Next we went to the M&Ms Store

That's my friend picking out some crazy colored M&Ms. I bought them for her since I hadn't gotten anything for her birthday...


The Hershey Store was right across the street so we went there next^^ It smells so sweet in both stores I could feel a cavity coming on.

It's surprisingly small （笑）

We then stopped by Book-Off for about an hour spending most of our time in the used manga section. I didn't buy anything.

It was around two-thirty by then so we stopped to have lunch. I ate at a food truck for the first time and it was AMAZINGLY good!! If you ever stop by NYC I recommend it^^ (Get a rice plate) I had yellow rice with broccoli, lamb, chicken, broccoli, lettuce, tomato and some sort of white sauce.
After that we spent about two hours in this HUGE Forever21 store. It has four floors and each section is a different style. This one was my favorite♥

Everything was so fluffy♥

I didn't by anything from this section, but I ended up buying a pair of Mori-style shoes and a cute sweater. I really shouldn't be spending money though....


There's a photo booth in this Forever21 :) Me and my friends tried it once.

 

It was so much fun :D These are the friends I've had since high school. Actually I knew the girl on the right since Junior-High before I knew the wonders of Japanese pop culture. I consider her my best friend :) I met the one the left (BIRTHDAY GIRL) in high school.

This store also had impressive displays

（笑）


After our visiting friend from Maryland left with her family for dinner, my two friends and I headed to Kinokuniya for a bit (I was on the search for anything Kyary Pamyu Pamyu related)

I bought a Kera and Zipper magazine (I was disappointed that they didn't have Kyary's highly anticipated album but the two magazines I bought feature her as a model in it^^


At this time I was EXHAUSTED. I'd been up since 6:30AM becuase I was supposed to go to work only to find out that my assignment had already finished so I was there for no reason at all (-___-) and was walking around in heels from about 11 to 7 at night.

All in all it was one of the best days I've had this summer :D

And since I no longer have a job I'll have some free time to do my last few dance covers/ get ready for school until my...*gulp* INDEFINITE HIATUS O___O

I'll still use my blog of course but I may not post any new covers until winter vacation maybe? (I hope><!! We'll see) I'll know for sure as the semester progresses I guess.

Next blog will feature ALL GETS I've obtained this summer^^

MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT FRIDAY!!! WHAT DO?
Ciao♥
