10 days!! We’re almost at single digits!

As I mentioned on day 14, we’d be seeing more of Miya from the ‘Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba’ PV in this countdown. Well, here we go with that promise!

(more…)

11 days and we march closer and closer to the big day!

So, compared to the other count down posts, this won’t have much content… But the amount of hotness will TOTALLY make up for it (IMO, at least).

So, I was checkin the Hello!Online picboard yesterday and saw one of the latest Miya photo’s up…

Now, I’ve been reading a lot of reaction posts to Buono!’s latest PV, and so many people have been going “WTF?!? Miya’s sooo hot! When’d that happen?” … My response: “When wasn’t Miya hot? XD” But I’m obviously biased. Heh. So much love for Miya!!

So yea… This post gets one pic. But… Wow. MIYABI WINS!

12 days and counting!

So, it’s no secret that I love Miyabi. And I think I’ve mentioned quite a few times (if not here, then on my main blog), that I also love hats. So, of course, Miya + Hat = TOTAL HOTNESS!

With that introduction, can you guess what today’s theme is?

So, I just have to say, Miya is looking absolutely FABULOUS in Buono!’s latest PV… A full review on that will be done when it’s released, but I had to post this photo since Miya’s pimping an awfully cool hat. And her hair… <3

14 Days! We’re getting closer!

So, today’s countdown post will be more pic spam… But not from PV as in the previous ones… Here, the theme is Miya in school uniforms. She’s just so adorable in her early days, and you can’t help but notice how she’s maturing into such a beautiful young woman.

I’d have to say that my favourite pic from this bunch would be the “Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba” photo… We’ll see more of that on a later date. XD

Miya pic spam, SWITCH ON!

15 days to go!

Today I’m going to cover what truly started my Miyabi fandom. Back in October of 2007, I was driving somewhere with my brother and he played Berryz Koubou’s “Munasawagi Scarlet” for me. He spent his time gushing over Risako and how awesome she sounded with her “Yes my love” lines.

I, on the other hand, was immediately drawn to Miyabi’s voice, particularly during her final solo line “Sotto chikazukitai”. This was before watching the PV and realizing that she also happened to be “one of the Aa! girls”. I had watched Miyabi in the Winter 2007 Wonderful Hearts Concert, and loved her performance in ‘Hare Ame Nochi Suki’, but I hadn’t really followed her.

After that, I very quickly started looking up all the information I could find out about the wonderful Miyabi and I haven’t turned back.*

So, it’s 16 days to Miyabi’s 16th birthday, so let the birthday count down begin!

To start off the count down, I’m going to go over the song that first brought Miyabi to my attention.. And no, I don’t mean when she became prominent for me… Just the first time she caught my eye. It is because of this song that I wanted to learn more about her when I started becoming interested in Berryz Koubou a few years later.

Back in the year 2003, a one-time Hello!Project subgroup was formed. Aa! featured Tanaka Reina of Morning Musume, and two Hello! Project Kids, Natsuyaki Miyabi and Suzuki Airi.

So, I haven’t updated in a while… But FEAR NOT!! The activity on this blog is going to increase very soon…

However, before we get to proper Miya posts, I thought I’d share this because it just totally made my day.

I was going through my feeds, as usual, and saw a post by Shirow from Wotaku Now! with a diagram of the words he uses most frequently on his blog. I then went to this site and checked out my word usage for fields of maiZe and berryZ, which I found boring and didn’t bother to post… But then I went to check Last Forever and got this….

Now how awesome is that word cloud? XD MIYA >>>>> ALL!!!!*

I absolutely adored Miya in the Berryz vs. C-ute battle concert that just released last week (the C-ute version) and today (Berryz version).

However, in order to be as wonderful as she was in the concert, one must prepare before they go into battle. So, here are some fun photos of Miya from the BK/C-ute battle concert memory photobook. These are most of my favourite Miya pics from within and they’re not all full page layouts… Most are just chopped bits with Miya. Enjoy!

Miya looks like she has fangs… XD Om nom nom!

This blog has been ignored for far too long…. I’m sorry Miya!! XD So to make up for my lack of posting these past two weeks, I’m attacking you all with Miya pic spam!

So, a few weeks ago, I got my yesasia shipment of High-King’s LE, Matsuura Aya’s ‘Zutto Suki De Ii Desu Ka’, and most importantly (for this blog, at least), Buono!’s ‘Kiss!Kiss!Kiss!’ Single V. As the title of this post says, that Single V is Miya heaven (or Airi and/or Momoko heaven, if they are who you prefer… But this is a Miyabi blog, so it’s Miya heave here!). 4 versions of the PV, with Miya looking gorgeous in each of them turns me into a pile of Miyabi fangirling goo.

Here, I’ve got screencaps galore, featuring the wonderful Miyabi in the band version and close up version. I took screencaps of the dance shot, but there aren’t any closeups of Miyabi, so I didn’t add screenshots here. However, the dance shot is available for viewing at the end of this post because Miyabi owns the dance in comparison to her group mates (once again).

A few days ago, zush shared some audio files of Risako from her solo event on June 5th. After reading that post, I went to see if I could find a recording of Miyabi’s solo event from June 6th, and lo-and-behold, a link to a fan recording was available on the JPH!P forums.

I really was hoping that there would be a recording available, because I had read that one of the songs Miya performed was ‘Masayume’ - the b-side to Aa!’s ‘FIRST KISS’. I absolutely adore that song, and have never heard it live. To get a recording of Miya performing it solo was just… WOW! ^_^ (And don’t mind the random pics I’m sticking in… I just felt like some Miya eyecandy)

Aa! reunion picture time! (or not… XD)

That link to JPH!P I shared has the entire event recorded, but for those of you who just want to hear the songs, I have cut out the 3 songs she performed and have them ready for your listening pleasure. It’s not the greatest quality recording, obviously, but you can hear Miya quite clearly. Hope you enjoy the audio! To listen you can click on the link, or you can wait a bit (depending on your connection speed), and eventually a little triangle will appear next to the song title (much like the play button next to ‘Last Forever’ on the sidebar) and you can play it without clicking out from this page.
