CD Data May 2008

Monday, 28th April 2008 00:21

It feels like such a long time since I bought a copy of CDData and on looking through the posts on the blog that feeling is correct, the last issue I purchased was August 2007 (CD Data August 2007) in it featured Reina's 14th Tanakamesen flicking through this issue we can see she's now on her 23rd, I must get back in to the swing of popping into the Japan centre on a more frequent basis as I've not only fallen behind on CDData but also on Friday magazine.

This issue has an article on C-ute and Reina's Tanakamesen, and although Shohei has returned to Japan and is busy at the moment he still managed to translate the articles, he has my thanks...I just hope it didn't ruin his Sunday evening. C-ute's article touches briefly on how the girls feel about their latest single, whilst Reina's is about the colour blue (because of Resonant Blue) and an extremely brief comment about Onegai My Melody, Kirara. Lol, who needs a page full of writing with Reina in that outfit!!

C-ute

Tune, Lyrics, Costume and Dance Routine, everything is so mature.

"Namida no Iro", the Spanish taste Second Single of 2008, the lyrics are mature for Cute, who are all teenagers. But they used more of their imagination than ever.

"3rd Love Escalation" was released in March, and it was a top ten hit.
Umeda said "Thanks a lot, we've had letters from fans and friends, and this time everyone is saying 'I really enjoyed it' or 'it really cheers me up' I am pleased" and this one is passionate Spanish taste!
Okai said "When I listened to it I felt it was really adult-ish, this is a bit like "Tokaikko Jyunjo"(3rd single) we can show the Cool side of Cute."
Nakajima said "Everything is so mature, I especially found the dancing hard, it took such a long time to remember it all."

The melody is intense and passionate, but the lyrics are about a liking a guy but saying farewell to him.
Suzuki said "The lyrics are so difficult for me, for instance 'I will forgive if it is just fun.' or 'I cant forgive you when you hurt my pride.' I don't really get the meaning of these, but I can understand that she still likes him and even though she tries not to."

They thought about the lyrics a lot. Yajima said "Will I every understand them someday? I can not imagine what happened to her, it may be the first time to think like that. Our lyrics are not connected to our experiences, so we imagined a lot of things from the lyrics (laughs)"

'Darling I Love You' is a little bit of a punkish and cheeky love song.
Arihara said "It is like I just shout "I love you" rather than singing it with a lot of emotion, I recommend you should listen to it on the bus!"
Ogiwara said "This one is the Cute version, in the Berrys Koubou version the lyrics of the second verse are different, Berryz version is more matured, whilst the Cute version is more childish."


Tanakamesen

Hello everybody!
How are you? Spring has come, and life has started again, such as school, job etc. (these kind of things start from April in Japan)

I've also had the challenge of being a voice actress from April! My Part is Kirara-chan in 'Onegai My Melody, Kirara'. It will broadcast every Sunday at 9:30 in the morning. I really enjoy it! It was the first time and I was really tense!

The theme of this essay is "Blue" because.... we will release "Resonant Blue" on the 16th April!

It is just like that (laugh) the thing Ao mori (ao means blue in Japan, and Aomori is the city, north part) It reminds me of an Apple! And being very cold! How about Blue sky? I imagine the summer's sunshine and clear blue sky. Feeling blue, when I am about to go out, the heavy rain is coming out!

Now about the new tune 'Resonant Blue' I like it, I think its very cool. The PV is great as well. I show the clothes worn (right) it isn't the blue outfit though....

Whereabouts are the magazines in the Japan Centre? I know there's a restaurant on the ground floor and a supermarket in the basement but I don't recall seeing any magazines...

The shop layout has changed lately the book shop used to be upstairs but they've expanded into the shop next door, now the supermarket is on the ground floor and the books and magazines are in the basement.
