Nanchatte Renai World Collage Project

UPDATE: Deadline of September 26th has passed



There is a fan project going on to show our support for Morning Musume. Basicly the main objective is to show that we really love momusu and to show UFA that we show our monetary support by buying copies of the latest single "Nanchatte Renai" and taking a picture of yourself with your copy of the single.

If you have a large MM collection, you can show that off in your picture as well. I know someone who has a large collection. If you show that off, you can show MM and UFA that we are dedicated fans who support the cause.

The deadline is September 19th so get your copies now from any of the 3 major CD websites.

I sent mine in and you should too.

NYC trip

I took a trip to New York City today, haven't been there since June. I mainly go to the Japanese stores around there. I went to Asahiya and picked up a couple magazines, also stepped into Kinokuniya and mainly looked around. I did see some H!P CD's in their rack, their most recent MM CD they got is the Cover You album, but it's 39 dollars. Thats insane! The New York Kinokuniya is really big, the biggest outside of Japan. It's been there since 1981 catering to Japanese as well as everyone else. I happened to figure out where a Japanese grocery store was so I walked to Dainobu on 47th between Lexington and 3rd and when I walked in, I was amazed at all the grocery items I saw. It's a small grocery store, but they got Japanese drinks like canned coffee, tea, among others. Also Japanese candy, gum, etc. So I managed to get a couple bits of Japanese candy and some mints too. It was a good day, hopefully I may meet somebody on the street, maybe in a Japanese store next time. If anyone happens to be in the New York area, maybe we can meet up sometime. I do know that there are some H!P fans in the New York City area.

Thats all for now.

Nanchatte Renai is coming

Well MM's new single is out in a week and yes, I am getting the 40th aniversary version. I used to always get the A and B versions with the DVD but I no longer play DVD's on a regular basis so I will get this one. Although with the next single it will go back to normal so I will pick either a A or B version.

There will not be a single V, it will be on the Single M clips DVD which comes out on 8/19, there will also be the short version of 3,2,1 Breakin' out on that DVD too.

I really hope that MM come back to the United States next year whether it be LA or somewhere else. They said that 7500 people went to the concerts at AX and that it was successful. This is a great opportunity for me and other fans that didn't get to go to show their love and support for one of the greatest groups Japan and I think the world has seen. Well it beats going to Japan and it's cheaper to see them here. My German friend at Morning Musume Fan Club Germany started a petition a few months ago to maybe get MM to go to a German anime convention. His favorite is Connichi which is held in Kassel in around October.

I know at least a few regular readers of my blog but I would like to get some more. So if you can, please bookmark me. I am also on twitter as well.
