Proposed picture of the CD Jacket

Looks like all May’n/Sheryl Nome fans will be broke this coming end November. ;_; I wonder how would her “Styles” album sound/look like; also, wondering how the “Welcome To My FanClub’s Night！-Styles ver.” would sound like as well. o_o~

Any May’n fan will be exhilarated upon receiving either of the CDs. XD WHERE IS MY MAY’N PHOTOBOOKKKK even Minorin has one. ;_;

Today marks May’n, aka 部長, 20th birthday! Beer お代り!

Wonder what delicacies May’n will eat when she comes over to Singapore for AFA09!

And May’n blogged a long post about her reflections upon attaining adulthood

First up, information on the new album:

Let’s begin with Nana’s duet first:

Vocal-wise, Nana suits this song the best, and I like how she blends in with Makkun very well. Pity the sound equipment and the level of the instrument players wasn’t there yet…

..but Makkun’s leather outfit + bodice was teh smexy. <3

====

Next up, is Minorin's.

The music suits Minorin’s singing style more than Makkun’s, but it was a wonderful duet anyway. Not to mention I am totally digging on Minorin’s outfit for Animelo 2008 =D~

====

I don’t have a video of May’n and Makkun singing Miracle Upper WL, but here’s the PV of the song

I was at this year’s Animelo, and the ladies performed this number on Day 1. The duet was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for more out of them. Not to mention May’n’s vocals improved by a notch, so it was even better. One of the songs I would buy Blu-Ray Animelo for.

====
We have the 3 fabulous ladies with their great duets with the legendary Makkun, but now for the ultimate in Anison….

…..I present to you the worst duet in Animelo History, proudly wrecked by Arika.


Enjoy. =D

さて！

And a bored May’n.

Equates to the picture below:

====

At this moment, I finished my 2nd reservist, and am packing my luggage.

“♪Have a Night Flight♪”

The concert will be held on the 24th of January 2010.

One is a May’n fan from Japan (he came over to watch May’n at AFA08), the other’s another blogger going to Animelo as well.

(I went to the Daicon one instead for Minorin because it’s nearer, and I’m able to watch May’n perform LIVE at Animelo later next month anyway)

*ahem* In any case, the goods in the pictures below:

MAY’N SUMMER TOUR “LOVE & JOY” 2009

I’m planning to get only the white shirt. I’m really tight on budget in this upcoming trip to Japan. *dies*

MINORI CHIHARA SUMMER CAMP 2009

Almost the same for Minorin’s goods, I’m only getting the flag and the orange shirt. And what’s with the ‘minorin mochi’…. >_>;;;;

Regardless, that’s about all I’ll get.

Though the May’n posters and pamphlet is reallllly tempting…. x_____x

Doing up one of Minorin’s more recent blog translation posts here:

今年に入り、マネージャーさんが一人増えました
This year, I have one more manager
名前は“まりりん”
She’s called ‘Maririn’
今までは瀬野さん一人が飛び回る日々だったので、まりりんが来てくれたおかげで色々助けられています
Up till now, I have been only traveling with Seno-san, and I’m thankful for Maririn’s help in various aspects
まりりんは元気で、笑顔の似合うとっても可愛い女の子です
ちなみに大のボーダー好き
着ている洋服はいつもボーダーです！
Maririn’s a cheerful lady, with smiles that suit her cuteness
She likes her clothes with large stripes (TL note(EDIT): that’s what I think she’s referring to)
She’s always wearing striped one piece dresses!
だから今日は着なくなったボーダーのお洋服をプレゼントしました
非常に喜んでくれたので、大満足です
Therefore the present I have for her was a striped one piece dress
Seeing her beaming smile is a sense of achievement for me
これからもよろしくね、まりりん
Best regards, Maririn!

====

I have a friend who said this about Maririn after reading this article:
is it a pun or what
her name is maririn
and she likes striped onepiece -_-
cause striped dresses are considered marine style in japan
which is marin in katakana -_-

..so, cheeky Minorin? XD

====
And… here’s a May’n picture that I shouldn’t comment any further.

====

Well, all the best to May’n for her upcoming Live Tour, and Minorin for her upcoming “Summer Camp” LIVE!
