Arigatou ~Mugen no C-ute~ : FARAWAY

FARAWAY
B-sides aren't really a thing anymore these days. Yet when they still were, there were some gems there that a lot of you might not know about. 
Usually I talk about these songs in my Hidden Gem Corner, but today I will talk about a b-side in these last days with C-ute. 
FARAWAY is the b-side of Momoiro Sparkling and made this single on of my alltime favorite C-ute singles with that. The song was writen by Tsunku and sadly only preformed twice. 


I really adore the sad and nostalgic feel this song has. I mean the title already kind of gives away that this song is a ballad. One that is lead by Yajima Maimi, Suzuki Airi and Okai Chisato, but with lines for Nakajima Saki and Hagiwara Mai. 
I have listened to this song about a 100 times and I am still amazed at how polished all girls sound in the original recording. I might even say that this was when they were all at their top vocally. Their live version during their last Cotton Club live was so good it made me teary eyed. In just a two weeks C-ute will leave us and they will go FARAWAY.
What is your favorite C-ute B-side?

Tsubaki Factory- 17sai

Afbeelding
As I told you guys before: Tsubaki Factor is a group I adored from the very start. They are currently preforming an old song from Moritaka Chisato called 17sai and it's from 1989. When I first heared them preform the song I was really suprised. It is such a classic sounding song, but it fitted them so well. The group is rater unpolished and you could hear how nervous they all were. But I think they all sound pretty good and I think they will soon be amazing.  The song really grabbed me and now I am addicted to both Tsubaki Factory's and Moritaka-san's version. It's a very happy and catchy song, so please give a listen to it if you like! In this episode we have a preformance of the song and below is an audio track from Moritaka Chisato's version from 1989.

Let us rank some more.  Last time we still had Rihoriho and Zukki by our sides. Now we are two members down and a lot has happend. I wonder how my ranking changed with the members! Morning Musume '16 Number 11 Haga Akane is the first girl on the list. She dropped two places and is now the lowest ranking Morning Musume member. Akane is adorable, yet she failes to impress me in any way. I don't really enjoy her voice, nor her preformance. She looks so shy and eventhough she has been with Morning Musume for 2 years, she still acts like a newbie. I really hope she will grow more once she gets some Kouhai to take care of.  Number 10 Makino Maria went up a place. I'll be honest, I am starting to see her charm and beauty, which makes me really happy. I jus want her to grow a bit more mature and than she might go up more. She really has a cute face and she can look impressively beautiful. Now we just need to hear her singing more.  Number 9 Ah,
