Buono!’s first non-FC concert tour DVD “Hybird Punch” was released this past week, and I just had to share one particular performance from the DVD. Can anyone guess which perfomance that would be?

Today, March 3, 2009, marks the 5 years anniversary of Berryz Koubou releasing their first single, “Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai”. And as the title of this post says, that means we’ve had 5 years of Miya in the spotlight! Unfortunately, I only started paying attention to the loveliness that is Natsuyaki Miyabi for about a year and a half, but I think I’ve made pretty good use of my time since then.

To celebrate this marker in their careers, Berryz Koubou have released some photo sets, so I’m here to share the miya pic spam!

Buono!’s 6th single co.no.mi.chi released this week, and my copy is currently on its way over to Canada! However, as is usually the case, I couldn’t wait to watch the bonus DVD, so of course I got it once it was available for download.

This time’s bonus DVD featured the making of the jacket - basically the photoshoots for the covers. So, it’s time to pic spam the beauty that is Natsuyaki Miyabi here. Seeing as the photoshoot for the single was done a little while ago, Miya’s hair is still long here. She looks stunning in this photoshoot (though I have to say that she looks absolutely gorgeous in the co.no.mi.chi PV with her short hair).

Miya and Airi kick things off with a “good morning!”

Hey there everyone! It’s been a while since my last update… Sorry about that! (And sorry Miya! <3) Anyway, I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, for those of you who celebrated it... And a wonderful holiday season for any other celebrations people may be celebrating at the moment. ^_^ And an advanced happy new year to all!!

So, I signed on to #wotachat today, and had this conversation with SecondBlossoming regarding Buono!’s Rock’n Buono! FC Concert…

Silly SB. How could he ever think to question my ability to watch a solo Miyabi DVD. XD Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the group DVD as well as Miya’s… But since this is a Miyabi worship blog, I thought I’d post a few screen caps and clips featuring the wonderful Natsuyaki Miyabi!

Lady Panther!!

So, I was browsing around on the Hello!Online picboard today, and I ran into this photo of little Miyabi…

And my first thought was: “Why does this remind me of a recent pic…? o_O”

Upon further though, the lightbulb lit over my head and I went searching deeperin to the H!O Miyabi section until I found this, which was posted back on Sept 14 2008…

AAAHHHHH!!!! If anyone remembers my post from June 14, you will remember my freak out over the fact that Miya sang Masayume live at a FC event.

In addition to beings absolutely ecstatic about that fact, I held out the major hope that the FC event would eventually be released on DVD, and we would get the chance to WATCH Miya perform that amazing song, and the other songs that she sang so wonderfully on the fan audio that was shared.

Well, my wish has come true, and the FC DVDs are now available for download!!! I just finished the 2nd DVD content a few hours ago…. The second DVD being my number one priority because, well, Miya was on that DVD. XD I have already gone through and cut out the songs, and added a lovely little clip in the middle simply because Miya is so gosh darn cute!! <3

(more…)

wonderfully amusing and fun DVD, there was one segment in particular that caught my attention. From what I could gather, the girls were participating in a number of competitions in order to determine who the leader of Buono! would be.

One of the competitions was… A COOKING COMPETITION!! And what were they cooking? Eggs!! … So, obviously, the first thing that came to mind was “Has Miyabi improved on her cooking of eggs since the last time?”

So, I chopped out Miya’s bit so everyone could see for themselves how it went.

So, the day we’ve all (well, maybe not all) been waiting (and maybe no waiting… maybe more like anticipating) for has finally arrived! It’s Miya’s birthday!

Don’t mind me… I’m just gonna post a few pics of Miya from this photoshoot ’cause I think she looks awesome here

And so, first up, we’ll have Miya singing about her birthday.

(more…)

Miya’s birthday is tomorrow! OMG!!! The countdown’s almost over! As much as I love Miya, you wouldn’t believe how happy I will be once I finish these posts… XD I have been stressing out, wondering if I’d actually get through all 16 days, but I’ve made it! I was never worried about her actual birthday post… That one had a plan from the start.

On the day before Miya’s birthday, I thought I’d embed Miya’s performance of Aya’s ‘Zutto Suki De Ii Desu Ka” from Hello Pro Hour.

(more…)

So, with the days running down to Miya’s birthday, I’ve found myself a little at a loss on what else I can post about…

It’s the olympics, and I’m an avid sports fan. I’ve been watching a ridiculous amount of Olympic events and it was that which gave me today’s theme idea: Miya doing sports!

A lot of pics are coming from Miya’s 1st solo photobook, because the two featured sports in there just so happen to be my two favourite sports: tennis and basketball! So, every tennis/basketball photo has been included here. XD
