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?

Tsugunaga Momoko: Leaving with her pinky up

Afbeelding
Tsugunaga Momoko will be graduating from Country Girls and Hello!Project tomorrow. Momochii has been in Hello!Project for over 15 years and will now become a kindergarten teacher! Ahhhh, The last of Hello!Pro kids is going to graduate and her graduation is already tomorrow. I can not believe how fast this day has come. Graduations are hard. It is weird to see a girl grow and do all these amazing things in Hello!Project and then one day they graduate and you never see them anymore. And Momochii, well she is the idols of idols. She is in the same range as Michishige Sayumi if you ask me. Momo has been active for 15 years, she has been in many succesful groups and hse has even had her own solo songs and now even an album! Momoko is not only an amazing idol, but she has also shown us these last few years what an awsome mentor she has been to Country Girls. It must have been really hard on her to be the only one of her group not wanting to graduate and transfer to another...

Welcome 12th generation!

And here they are! Morning Musume's 12th generation members! Yesterday the announcement was (finally) made that these 4 girls got into Morning Musume! I wanna talk about them a little more! But first of all: I'm so happy that there are 4 new members. They look so cute and pure! I can't wait to see them in action! Ogata Haruna (15) My first reaction to this girl was the same as all the current Momusu members: She is called Haruna ? Two Haruna's?! But then again we once had two Ai's, so why not. Her official nickname is Daisaku if I'm right. I don't reallt know why she got this nickname and I don't know if it fits her. I think I would like to nickname her Ogaharu or Haruchii. But anyway she has been figureskate for 9 years and her birthday is the 15th of febuary 1999. I think she is very cute, she makes me think of a very young Aika with a bit of Uemura in her. I have high hopes for her vocals and dancing (she should be so elegant!!). No...
