Buono! Natsu Dakara + Ice Mermaid Preview~

ToT!!!I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove iiiiiiiiiit! You never fail to disappoint me Buono!!! Well actually I don't know if I like the look of the PV so much yet since I'd rather something like Take it Easy where they went outdoors..

-RisuTEN

Nooo way!! Another preview? You spoil us too much! -actually not enough hehe

Translations: C-ute's Blog- I reaaally love everyone from the bottom of my heart ♥ Chisato

Good evening everyone ^ヮ^ ♥

Today I turned 17 years old m(_ _)m ♥
Thank you very much for the many comments ♥
Yesterday night,
I was nervous the day before the Annex event so I couldn't sleep XoX
as I looked at my phone,
many happy birthday messages came from my friends ♥
I was really happy getting many comments
from all of the fans
and it got me hyped up
and as I couldn't sleep easily,
I read all of the comments from last night! (^ヮ^)/
thank you very much for all of them ♥
I was so happy, I wanted to repay each and every person back ^ヮ^ ♥

Right then!
today I was able to do a solo for the ANNEX event ♥

I wondered if it was really ok for this Chisato to be loved
by this many people? it felt like I was gonna cry.
As I stood on stage, everyone gave me so much power with their smiles ♥
Because I love everyone's smiles, I wanted to be together with everyone always,
I thought so many times!
I really felt the earth-shattering love everyone had T~T

Many people came all the way just for my sake
on a weekday and I'm sure you must have came by foot because it was in a district,
you'd have to take a break from work, school and part time jobs, there were some people
who had to leave early too I think.
Really, thank you very much for coming for my sake.

When I looked over at the hall,
everyone smiled so much as they heard me sing my songs ♥
thank you very much m(_ _)m
I'm a really happy person (;_;)
I'm still completely no good this Okai Chisato but
I hope I lived up to your expectations.
I want to try putting in great effort daily and going forward
one step at a time ♥
And today, Mozuku Man-san (Yoshizawa Hitomi) *laughs*
she came and gave me a surprise ♥
She's a senpai that I really love so
I was happy ^ヮ^ ♥

Really really,
I such feelings of gratitude for everyone
who has stuck to me until now ^ヮ^ ♥
I'm glad I got to meet everyone ♥

And really thanks
to the members too ♥
your blogs made me happy!
I'm really glad to have been C-ute

And, and
my family ♥
I'm really glad to have been born into the Okai family ♥
I love the energetic Okai family ♥
really thank you very much for giving birthday to me mama ♥
please treat me well from here on too ♥

This was really disordered I'm sorry (;_;)

What I really want to say is that
I'm really reaaaally glad to have met everyone ♥
I love you ♥
Please treat me well from here on too ♥

Baichaako ♥♥♥♥

17 years old huuuh~~~
Wowww

17 is mature eh? ♥

I want to hurry up and be 17 toooo ♥

Chisato right,
I think her smile is really cute!
It's such a clumsy kind of feeling *laughs*

I respect that she's also smiling happily T~T ♥

I want to be like that too (´^`)(´^`)

On top of that,
she really looks out for the people around her!
she always notices when someone's not quite themselves!!

Today I watched Chisato's solo live and I thought she was amazing.
I really learnt a lot from her and I was encouraged by her (＞＿＜'')(＞＿＜'')(＞＿＜'')
Thanks Chisato ♥

Treat me well from here on too!!
For you, have a great year ♥

I looove you!~~ ♥♥

Translations: C-ute's Blog- ♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (Airi

Yaho~ ♥
It's Suzuki Airi ^ヮ^


Today is
Chisato's birthday ♥♥♥
Happy Birthday~ ♥♥♥ (♥ヮ♥)

Yesterday,
it was her last day being 16 years old
I sent her a text message ＞ｗ＜ ♥

I couldn't tell her my true feelings ^ヮ^
(I-it doesn't mean like how it sounds xD)


Chisato's singing voice is so strong-like, so sexy
and I really like it ^ヮ^
I guess you could say I admire her ← ^ヮ^ ♥

The things I don't have, she has a lot of them...

Somehow,
it feels like she's finished tearing apart those barriers
that I have to tear apart I guess I could say ＞ｗ＜

How can I say put this?
I don't know but
I think she's amazing in many places ^ヮ^ ♥

And you know, the wish for us to be able to sing together
still hasn't come true so

let's try doing harmonies ♥

let's do our best together as 17 year olds ♥
I love you Chisato ^ヮ^

Right, in that, today
I had a photoshoot this morning ♥

It seems like one more push today! ^ヮ^
Today will be looong too ^ヮ^

Aah, I ended up eating tasty sweets because
they were there at the location! (♥ヮ♥)(´^`) ♥

I have to hold it in~ ^ヮ^.........

Today's lunch was beef and rice,
it seemed like sauted shredded beef with green pepper! (♥ヮ♥)♥

I-look-foward-to-iiiiiiiiiiit (♥ヮ♥)♥

Right, do my best with nothing left behind ♥

See you tomorrow (♥ヮ♥)♥

Awww it seems like Chisato completes Airi..hahahaha xD They should do a duet together!! 10/TEN-Risu

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday, happy birthday~

You're Seventeen

Ain't that great, ain't that great~

Let's enjoy it ok?~

For Chisato, she kinda helps me in all sorts of ways but

even from now, could you still be like this with me too.

She does her best for whatever I feel,

with this and that!

I really respect this Chisato doing her best.

Saki has to do her best too~

My own limits isn't wide enough though you know

the possibilities are endless!~

Ah, before, there were the words "The future is uncertain!?" in the chairman of C-ute's play

"The possibilities are endless"

When I look at Chisato,

this is really what I think

Yeah,

the members are important right?~

they give me a lot of encouragement being this close to me

when the members are here, I'm happy.

Okai-san,

please treat me well from here on too ok?~

Ah, why don't we hurry up and go see a movie!

Black swan!

Aww sweet.. b-but Nakkii!! Are you sure you want to watch Black Swan!? W-well I guess you guy are 17 now b-but it just doesn't feel like something you'd want to watch....... oh but Black Swan is amazing by the way : D go see it if you haven't~ 10/TEN-RisuTEN

Translations: C-ute's Blog- To Chisato ♥ From Maimi -Maimi 21/6/11

It's the 21st


Chisato~
Happy Birthday (^ヮ^) ♥


You're already 17 eh? ♪


Yesterday night, for some odd reason, I wanted to watch the DVD of our play
"Neruko wa C-ute",

I watched the DVD at the middle of night.

For us, this was the first play we did and in 2007, this was just about the time when our second single "Meguru Koi no Kisetsu" released and we performed it in the play ^ヮ^

I understand that everyone's face was still young but Chisato kinda looked like a little boy (♥ヮ♥)♥

She'd be smiling happily and clumsily, innocently and mischievously...

It took how many years for her to become an incredibly mature person~ ^ヮ^ I thought once again

Back then, even though she said things like...
"It's hard to move around in a skirt!! It's more fun to wear sandles in the summer ♪" ^ヮ^ ***

Now she's a completely beautiful big sister right? ♥ ^ヮ^

However, the Chisato who's forever energetic and bright was from the past ♥

That brightness, I feel like she spreads her energy to the people around her!! ^ヮ^

That Chisato too, she writes it often in her own blog but

"The truth is, I pretty much do get troubled, lost and depressed you know"

She herself says that she's "way too negative"~ but

to feel like that...it gives birth to the feeling of wanting to improve yourself so I feel like it's really important!!

Facing forward seriously against your problems is proof she's doing her best so that's why I think there would be a lot of times she finds herself troubled, lost and depressed.

People who aren't troubled, are probably boring people right? ^ヮ^

From here on too, let's worry a lot together, find the answers and C-ute will go and do their best eh? ♥

Right then, continuing from Nakkii's solo event yesterday,
Chisato has hers today ***

A birthday event...isn't that great? ♪

She can be 17 with many people watching over her right? ^ヮ^ ***

I want you to be able to have an amazing birthday that you can fully enjoy ^ヮ^

Because it's Chisato, it'll be fine!!

May Chisato's 17th be full of happiness...

P.S

(Picture 1) Yesterday, I tried spreading out the album I had at home
the tomboy-ish and still young Chisato ♥

(Picture 2) The Chisato with two days left until becoming 17!! (Picture 1) and if you compare them, she's become so mature~ ♥♥♥

(Picture 3) Last is C-ute ♥

---------------------------------------

I don't know if I'll be translating once again but I thought I'll make an exception for Chisato today since it's her birthday!! Happy Birthday Chisa~ I hope you did have a woooonderful day! I remember your birthday last year was really amazing with C-ute together~ I hope you can experience that same happiness and even more too ♥ Love you Chisato. 10/TEN-RisuTEN

~Buono! Natsu Dakara! Covers~

From the H!O forums~ ＜3
Oh my goshhhh I loove it~ it seems so fresh and cooling just to look at it @w@
and the new logo's cool too~ I can't see it too much but so far I think the Single V is my favourite.
Although I don't know if I approve of the normal edition. Airi's in the middle again and she's more forward (reminds me of Shock!) I would have thought it'd be Miyabi's turn to be in the middle by nooooow right?
Well.... I like Limited B too anyway haha
what are you favourites?
-RisuTEN

(And apologies for the lack of translations...I'm actually more busy than expected ayah)

Yay covers!
my faves are Limited A and B
and oh yeah I didn't notice that Airi is closer to the camera in the regular, but now that Risu mentioned it, it's reallly obvious. plus the regular has a cheap background =.=
for the Limited I think Airi looks funny xD
I really hope the PV is not a cheap one, or at least an overly cheap one
if they're supposed to go outdoors then please take them outdoors! no more of those computer effects onegaai!! xD

we see their outfits more clearly! come to think of it Miyabi's reminds me of her Heroine one xD; I might like this one more, but I can't see it so clearly

and oh yeah they changed their name design
it's cool and funky!
but I hope they didn't desert their old design, cause that's classic Buono

Kanna will be in a low budget film called 'Joshikousei Tokumu Sousakan Nagi & Saya', which translates to 'Schoolgirl Investigators Nagi & Saya', it will go straight to DVD

ooo I've never really seen Kanna act, though I know Kanna is very good at the super cool act xD
the story sounds interesting, at least it's not a horror movie xD

Natsu dakara! (3Shot Lip ver.white)

First off I'm a bit disappointed that there's only one coupling song, unlike Zassou which had 2 as well as all the instrumentals. but oh well maybe it's cause they have a mini album coming up.

anywayss Ice Mermaid? xDD such a funny title! I dunno what to expect, though it'll probably be a fast song. When I first saw that I thought of a mermaid in a block of ice..

and the DVD sounds interesting 3shot lip ver, sofa? it's funny I didn't think they'll be sitting on a sofa in their pv, but rather outside in the sun.

but it's good that there's loads of different shots^^

anyways I've very excited! and nearly a month to go, so promotions shall start shortly. can't wait!

Aa after an extremely long hiatus ><

I dunno if using pictures is any safer than pv..xD

but I thought the translations might be hard to read on such a flashy pv and since there were loads of pretty pictures I might as well make good use of them xD

I made the backgrounds myself^^

I had to make a few adjustments to the lyrics as the font I used doesn't have an apostrophe xD;

hope you enjoy it!

I aim to at least have a new video once a month~

Berryz Kobo & C-ute - Stage Play

the girls are back!!!

and don't they look amazing

Beginning on August 16th, Hello! Project groups C-ute and Berryz Koubou will be starring in a female stage adaption of the popular sci-fi novel, “Sengoku Jieitai“!

The story revolves around a inexperienced battle unit who accidentally travels back in time to the Sengoku era, a time of social, political, and military conflict that eventually resulted in the unification of Japan under the Tokugawa Shogunate . “Sengoku Jieitai” has already seen two movie adaptations, one starring Chiba Shinichi in 1979, and another more recent adaption starring Eguchi Yosuke in 2006.

—

Berryz Koubou and C-ute will do their own ‘female version’ of the story, which will open for the first time on August 16th at the Ikebukuro Sunshine Theater. In this version, each group will play two separate platoons. The twelve girls will also be split into two theater groups, allowing them to perform more often: the “Moonlight” group (Shimizu Saki, Tokunaga Chinami, Okai Chisato, Suzuki Airi, Tsugunaga Momoko, and Hagiwara Mai) and the “Whirlwind” group (Sudo Maasa, Kumai Yurina, Sugaya Risako, Nakajima Saki, Natsuyaki Miyabi, and Yajima Maimi).

—

“Hearing that Berryz Koubou and C-ute will be performing ‘Sengoku Jieitai’, which has been turned into a movie, makes me really nervous,” admitted Berryz Koubou captain Shimizu Saki. C-ute’s leader Yajima Maimi also chimed in, “I’m both nervous and grateful about being able to perform a wonderful work like ‘Sengoku Jieitai’ on stage.”

Wooo!! I want to watch this~.. both versions hahaha that'll be a loong day!
Mainly want to see Moonlight group for Airi and Momo~
but I know that Whirlwind group should be good with Nakkii and Maimi has probably improved her acting skills a whole lot too
but of course...I just want to see them all together anyway!!!

There’s no such time for tears
I wanted to wash it away with a smile


Those days when I was so happy everyday
has been smashed and fallen apart


You live in the town
just one after this station
would it be bad if I suddenly came to visit?


My heart is crumbling
My tears are falling heavily
I believed that you were going to be with me wherever

Even so, I’m crumbling
My sadness is overflowing
this doesn’t suit my character does it?
Bye bye to my memories


You always had a line of comedic acts
Roles that piled up for any occasion
you always made me laugh
from before didn’t you


That night when we kissed
the days when I was held by you every day
I wanted to dream a little


My heart is crushed
all of it is soaking wet
it feels like a bucket of water has been thrown over me


Even so, I’m crushed
and I smile clumsily
I wonder if the day will come when I fall in love again?
Bye bye to my memories


My heart is crumbling
My tears are falling heavily
I believed that you were going to be with me wherever

Even so, I’m crumbling
My sadness is overflowing
this doesn’t suit my character does it?
Bye bye to my memories

I think I got the colour coding right ah! I like this song ^_^ The lyrics are pretty sad though but the song itself is somewhat upbeat haha but I guess it also sounds like: I'm not going to fall down now! good B-side~ 8/TEN -Risu

My bullet of love
I want it to shoot through your heart
But the problem is that you skilfully dodge it


Love’s opening
This story has begun
I’ll surely steal that heart


The sunny weather continues
I’m in a great mood too
I want to walk with you
to anywhere


That bright smile
and the way you speak
even though you ride a Harley
I can see no scratches


Just once
I’ve lied
I’ve kissed you so many times


Your bullet of love
I want to try diving into it
You always have a perfect score!

Love’s mystery
This story is nothing but a puzzle
I’ve been thrown into a deep labyrinth


There have been rainy days
but you who lights up the place
is an angel right?
It’s so frustrating


We’ve spoken many times
I’ve seen you many times
Even though I’m confiding in you
I still can’t get through to you


Rather than love
it’s more like friendship
It’s like an adolescent manga of the Showa era

Pardon me if I made any mistakes! Colour coding always takes so long ahah.. Anyway~ I love this song honestly though for some reason I can only think of Berryz taking a liking to a  yankii. Ah but also..why would they compare their love to a manga from the Showa period.. that was even before they were born. Well maybe t-they do read manga from that long ago? It seems to me Tsunku needs more ideas though when writing lyrics since I'm hearing the same thing again and again in my opinion but a bullet of love is a great idea actually so..well... a pat on a back for you ( =3=)/ 9/TEN -RisuTEN
