Latest issues of CD Data and Friday

Tuesday, 1st May 2007 13:37

Managed to grab the latest copies of CD Data and Friday...as per usual by latest, I mean that the issue of Friday is a week old. Both magazines feature Hello Project members. Friday has a couple of pages on Maki's new single Secret and shows some stills from the PV. CD Data features both Yossie and Reina.
Yossie's article is about her new book, which features her CD Data articles, new photos and an interview. Apart from the images in this article I haven't seen any of the photos from the book, but I have to say that the photo of Yossie on the right page of the article looks great, I know this new image of hers isn't really new any more but when ever I see her pictures I can't get over how different she looks from the image I have of her in my mind.


CD Data also features Reina's 11th Tanakamesen. As per usual the article is extremely cute, with her drawings, but this months adds the even more cuteness than usual as we get to see some baby photos. I've also managed to get a translation of the page as well, as per usual thanks go to Shohei for the translation. The final comments about Yossie are very touching.


The translation reads from the top left down and then from the top right down;

Hello! It is time to start my 11th tanakamesen. 11 is my favourite number. I was born on the 11th of November, (heisei 1, Japanese year). My student number was quite often 11.
it really connects me.
I've put my many childhoods photos up this time, I think they are when I was about 2 years old?

On the 25th April, we release new single Kanashimi Twilight, it has an uptempo and cool sound, but the lyrics are kind of mellow, pay attention to this point and check it out!

What a surprise! Foreign students in Morning Musume! Rinrin(16) and Junjun(19), I was surprised and a bit confused, but I will study Chinese and have a conversation with them!

On Tour we sing a lot from new album Sexy8beat, I think it is new and fresh for you.
I also enjoy the reaction of each of the songs and also a lot of the new dance routines, I am thinking how to arrange my style from what the teacher told me.

I enjoy "Shanimuni Paradise", I feel like summer and I like the new dance! You have to wait! Come and see us!

April is the month I left Fukuoka and came to Tokyo.
It was sad I had to leave Fukuoka....The first thing I thought of Tokyo was, a lot of people, everybody is so busy, always traffic jams....It took a long time to get used to this, but now I like it as well as Shibuya and Odaiba.
I will find more places to enjoy and play!

The graduation is soon....I dont want it....
Yoshizawa-san always look after me, when I had a cold, she email me. I was glad. I wish she was still the leader even if she graduates...not for Morning Musume, for me!

I'm sure Paul's mentioned he gets the magazines from the Japan Centre in London. I've had a look on their website and whilst they store Friday magazine I can't seem to find CD Data on it.

Yep, you're right DoubleJ, I get my magazines from the Japan Centre. The website doesn't show all the magazines they have in stock...very odd, in all the time I've been buying Up to Boy from them it has never once been on the website.

I've fired off a message to the Japan Centre asking why Up To Boy and CD Data aren't up for sale on their website. Hope to get a response today from them.

Any news from the Japan Center? It does seem very odd that both them magazines aren't on their website.

Yes, they did reply back saying that I should contact one of their department in which they supplied an email address and they'll see what they can do for me. No explanation why both magazines have been omitted from their website. It would be a big help for me if they could supply Up To Boy as it's a pain having to buy it direct from Japan.

How do you get copies of Friday or CD Data?

I get copies of both Friday and CDData (and Up to Boy) from the Japan Centre in London. I know that CDJapan has CDData and Up to Boy for subscription...although I can't find anywhere that has Friday on subscription basis other the net
