Hi everyone.

I will be taking a hiatus until further notice. I’m not sure how long I will be gone.

To stay up-to-date with AAA news, media and activities, please check the affiliates and recommended links list, the attack all around tag here on Tumblr, aaach and ExOtomari.

I’m sorry if this is an inconvenience. Thank you for understanding.

「Love is in the air」 Preview. What are your thoughts on the song?

It’s that time again!

AAA is scheduled to release their 37th (!) single on June 26th, in two editions: CD+DVD and CD only.

「Love is in the air」 is an upbeat summer love song and 「Eighth Wonder」is a trendy dance song “inspired by KPop,” according to Japanese fans. It is also the new group song featured in AAA’s Eighth Wonder tour.

2011 Observations | 2012 Observations

Instead of using the same layout as the 2012 observations, following the tour day-by-day, the 2013 tour observations below will be more relaxed (similar to the 2011 observations). 

※ネタバレ注意※Spoiler Warning

♡ This is more of an observation about Takauno as a pairing, rather than Nishijima and Uno. On April 20th, Twitter exploded with excited chatter about a “new Takauno song” (「たかうのnew曲」). After a few hours, a couple of fans that went to AAA’s first performance (April 20th in Tokyo) confirmed that there was, in fact, a new Takauno song, and that the song had a cute performance to match. (This was one of the first fan confirmations). Fans were SO happy! I could hardly keep up with the Takauno tag and #AAAEW official hashtag. This made me feel so proud and happy of Takauno as a pairing.

♡ Please click here for information (spoilers!) specifically about the new Takauno song and performance.

♡ “Mystery solved!” During the Nishijima/Hidaka/Atae 「超WHITE DAY PARTY IT UP!!」 Nico broadcast, Nishijima was asked to recommend an AAA song for a wedding. He grinned, saying that he had recently recorded a new song, to be released in 2013, and that it would be ideal for weddings. Fans thought this was very mysterious, but now know he was referring to the new Takauno song!

♡ On May 3rd, Takauno made a lot of eye contact! At some point during the concert, Uno was saying (singing?) French words, and as she did it, Hidaka and Nishijima did a strange dance around her. Nishijima and Uno laughed together. (As a side-note, Shinchia hugged during the May 3rd concert)!

♡ During an MC segment on May 3rd, the members were talking about “umeboshi” (pickled ume fruits). Uno said she liked them a certain way, and Nishijima disagreed, purposely trying to provoke Uno. At this time, they were standing in this order: Sueyoshi, Nishijima, Hidaka, Uno, Ito. (I’m not sure where Atae and Urata were in relation to everyone else). There was some distance between Nishijima and Uno. Nishijima bent backwards, “Matrix” style, pretending to avoid a “bullet.” He did this to avoid Uno. Sueyoshi told Uno to headbutt Nishijima. Nishijima pretended to headbutt and yelled, “Umeboshi attack!” (Haha this was cute)! 

♡ Also on May 3rd, during the performance of Hurricane Riri, Boston Mari, Nishijima and Uno ran to be with each other. When Uno tried to leave, Nishijima grabbed her and didn’t let go! (Very cute)!

♡ On May 4th, during Break Down, Uno accidentally did the wrong choreography at one point. Nishijima was looking at her and noticed this. He hit her playfully. They were very flirtatious!

♡ On May 6th, Nishijima, Uno and Hidaka were together a lot during the MC’s. 

♡ On May 18th, Nishijima and Hidaka persuaded Uno (who they affectionately called “Misaemon”) to do a voice impression of Doraemon (a popular kids’ manga/anime character). To get her to do the impression, Nishijima said, “Misaemon is always in our hearts!” The audience screamed, “Misaaeemooonnn~!” Uno laughed and hastily did an impression of Doraemon’s voice. The audience laughed and cheered.

♡ More observations coming soon!

While 2012’s tour series seemed to focus on the fans and AAA backstage, the 2013 series seems to focus on finding talented AAA fans at every venue. Each fan will have to title their performance. The AAA members will pick fans based on their performance titles. (Thanks, champagnecold, for the clarification)!
