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!
And so, first up, we’ll have Miya singing about her birthday. 
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.
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
So, I originally meant to post photos from Berryz 3rd mini album when I did the post with Miya singing ‘Natsu Remember You’ because Miya looks so pretty in that album. However, I obviously forgot to do that… So I was pondering how I could incoporate that into this countdown…
So, today’s theme: Miya in white!
One thing I want to do at some point in my life is to go to Japan and wear a kimono… Yes.. I have to be IN Japan, I can’t just randomly wear a kimono for whatever reason. Don’t ask me… It’s just a dream of mine.
So, on the topic of kimonos, let’s take a look at Miyabi wearing the elegant, traditional Japanese attire.
Today, we have a video clip of the girls behind the scenes while making a PV (I think…) I should know where these outfits are from, but it’s really not coming to me at the moment.
When I say “the girls”, I mean Miya and Risako. I had a conversation fairly recently about Risako and someone was saying what a brat Risako is… I don’t quite agree with that. Yes, she gets too many lines, IMO, but she sells. It’s not her fault. I actually find her quite and funny here.
It probably helps that Miya is there with her, and constantly makes fun of the youngest Berryz member (in a joking and friendly manner, of course).
Today, we’ll have a little bit of Christmas in August, because, well, Miya’s Christmas performances this past year have been fun!
So, I was driving to work the other day and realized that the countdown within the countdown was just a tiny bit redundant… So um yea… Read the title for how many days are left. XD
Buono!’s latest single is being released on August 20th, which means that it’s available on Hello! Online. My copy has been pre-ordered and will be on its way soon. I think that like ‘Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!’, I’m going to have to get the Single V for this single because once again, Miyabi PWNS!
8 days left… August is the 8th month of the year… … I don’t know where I’m going with that. XD So… Countdown!!
I’ve gone over my favourite Berryz Koubou single, ‘Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba’… Now, I’ll go over my second favourite BK single… ‘Very Beauty’. Can you see a trend with my favourite songs?
AHH!! We’re into the single digits!! 9 days to go!
Today, I’ve got a performance by the lovely and talented Miyabi. This one is her solo of ‘Natsu Remember You’ from Berryz Koubou’s Summer 2007 concert.
I don’t like the outfit she’s wearing much, but at least there are lot of close-ups. Miyabi does a wonderful job with this performance. This is not surprising, seeing as she doesn’t have to dance, so it’s a lot easier to keep good control over her voice.
I love her voice in slower songs (though that’s not to say I don’t like it in fast ones too… She’s awesome in ‘Munasawagi Scarlet’). But the softness of her voice in more tender songs is really soothing.
