Finally the time has come to talk about Morning Musume's theater play TRIANGLE! The play is already 2 years old, yet something I really wanted to talk about for a long time.  I watched it when the DVD was released but thanks to temp.sub, I was finally able to understand every little detail! And do you need every little detail to understand how magnificent this story is! The play is in two parts: Alpha and Beta. Alpha centers Ishida Ayumi as Princess Sakura, while Beta centers Kudo Haruka as Asada. The story is about the planet Alpha. This planet doesn't know war or fights, thanks to the Queen who get's devine messages from the heavens. As long as the people of Alpha follow these messages, peace and prosperity will stay on the planet. Due to this peace a lot of people from other planets are living on Alpha, like the people from Omega and Beta.  Omega is a planet far away and the people who come from that planet can handle a jellyfish like creature called the...

Let's all take a trip into Sayumi's personal dream world and have a look at the Original Album to her play! I couldn't be happier to finally have Sayumi back and her first album is a dream coming true. Here are my thoughts and feelings about all the tracks! 1.

So Let's talk about Orange. While I was working, I wanted to read something (I watch teens as they do their homework). I adore Manga and I like how fast I can read them, so I looked around for a new manga. I remembered Yamaki Risa (Country Girls) talking about Orange a lot. So I picked it up and I started reading and gosh did this story hit me.  I still don't really know what I am going to talk about in this post. It will be a bit of a review about both (Movie and Manga), but also a just a bit of gushing about the whole story and the feeling it gave me. Let's start with a small overview of the story (no spoilers). A girl, Naho, recieves a letter from herself on the first day of school. The letter has been written by herself but it's the her from 10 years in the future. The letter talks about a lot of regrets older Naho has and how she wishes the younger her could erase them. But is her biggest regret something that can be changed? Okay, so let's start. ...
