P-P-P Party Party CELEBRATION

Ok so this post is going to be a little "Blog Re-opening!" post and a "Berryz Koubou New Single!"

Both of which are causes for celebration ;D

Anyway, welcome to my blog! My name is Caitlin, I am now 18 years old which is kind of freaking me out beyond belief, and...well, I love idols, if you didn't guess that. :P
For a long time I've meant to get back to blogging but just haven't done it. However, recently, I've gotten into a lot of new idol groups, and more into old ones, and I just feel like I need somewhere to rant about them?

Anyone who read my last blog knows I tend to make long posts. Hopefully they won't be too insane, but hey, that's me. Just a warning ahead of time. ;p

The blog has gotten a new banner for it's re-opening, as well as a twitter feed (follow me if you'd like!) and a new page which I ask you check out, please! (The "Best of Idol Blog Photos" page.) It's something new I'm doing that I thought would just be a fun little thing to add to the blog, and it's something you can all participate in, and I hope you do! Hoping to see a large range of different idols, from the most mainstream to ones I never even knew existed. It will be interesting for  lot of fans, I think, including me, and may get us curious about other idol groups. So please take a look at the page!

I am also hoping to open an idol radio station. I don't know how soon it will be, as the site I'm using can take quite a while getting all my music on there, but I am working hard on it and will hopefully have it up and running soon. It will be called "idol BEATS" which is pretty uncreative, honestly, but I was listening to Fairies' "Beat Generation" and it's what I came up with. The radio station will have the goal of playing all idol stuff. Like, mainstream and indie. I want to play tons of idols, even ones I don't really follow. I want it to be a station that plays idols 24/7 with a good mix of everything, and gives people the opportunity to find new groups they've never heard of. (So if you know some good groups I may not know, comment them please!) I will have a link to the station from the blog when it's ready :)

And now, onto Berryz' new single, "Asian Celebration"! 

I was debating what my first post should be about. I feel like I have a lot I want to post and talk about, and then today I woke up to see Berryz Koubou's new MV was up. They also happened to have the closest release date out of the groups I wanted to talk about, so I decided to go for it.

Now...I haven't been all that into Berryz lately. Well, that's not quite right...I love them, but lately their music itself has been kinda whatever with me? Nothing has been bad, but nothing has grabbed me really, either. Which has kinda sucked.

Now, I'm not exactly in love with song, but I think it's very fun and extremely catchy. (Not one of you who has heard it can honestly say the chorus wasn't replaying in your head or you didn't sing it out loud after listening!) The music video is a bit of a sparkle overload, but somehow it kind of works with the rest of the MV and the song? It's very disco-ish and I enjoyed watching it quite a bit.

I'm sure you've all probably seen it, but here is the MV:

One thing I have to say...is it just me, or does it seem very Miya-focused? Definitely not complaining, she'd be the one I'd watch if it wasn't, anyway, but somehow it seemed like up until about 1:08 she WAS the MV.

I think her talking parts are pretty adorable. She makes me kinda think of like the person on the intercom or whatever when you're on an airplane at the beginning. Is that just me? ^^; Anyway, it's really cute. Miyabi is a very charming person, so filling the beginning up with her is a good move if you ask me ;)

Captain looks absolutely fabulous. She is obviously the best dancer but her even just bouncing to the music seems to out do everyone elses...well, everything. xD Captain was the second half of the MV for me <3

I took notice of the dance after this. It looks very simple but very very fun. Like  line dance? Not quite, but that sort of nature. Easy to pick up but somehow fun, especially in a group of people. 

And then Chinami was singing. And then Chinami was singing quite a lot.

And I was very happy.

And I came to the realization everyone is singing in this.

And it sounds great.

So A+ to Berryz in that respect. 

This is Berryz Koubou's 31st single and it is releasing on March 13. We have gotten low quality cover previews, and they have me actually really excited for the high quality previews.

The reason I'm excited and curious is I really want to see those alternative outfits! Limited B and C seem to have more casual outfits, and then Limited D with this random cool blue theme? 

I look forward to seeing them in high quality! ^^

You can buy the single from CDJapan here:

Regular Edition  Limited A  Limited B  Limited C  Limited D

If you haven't bought it yet but plan to, please click the above links! If you buy through those links, I'll get points on CDJapan so I can actually get the idol stuff I want and properly support the groups I follow ahahaha. 

So it'd really mean a lot to me if you click them. <3

Anyway, I suppose that's the end of this blog post~
