[TRANS]「AAA TOUR 2013 -Eighth Wonder-」たかうの観察

Sun, 12 May 2013 23:22:00 -0400

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!

I wonder why uno's runway channel blog was shut down...What a pity!

Thu, 09 May 2013 12:18:00 -0400

Hi Anonymous! Uno’s RUNWAYch blog was always planned to be limited to six months (although why it had a time limit, I’m not sure). We’ll have to rely on Uno’s Twitter now! :)

[NEWS] 「ちょこやまくん」Ends

Thu, 02 May 2013 23:24:00 -0400

It seems that 「ちょこやまくん」 did not win the hearts of enough fans while airing on 「青山ワンセグ開発」, an NHK program that allows viewers to vote for which drama they’d like to see regularly. 「ちょこやまくん」, co-starring Uno Misako (AAA), aired its final episode on May 2nd.

Feel free to send Uno some happy/encouraging messages on Twitter!

Hi Anonymous! Oh, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed them! I wasn’t sure if I was going to do Tour 2013 observations this year, but I’d be happy to, now that I know that others enjoy reading them. :) Thanks for the request! I’m hoping there are ~~some~~ lots of moments, too! ;)

[NEWS] [TRANS] Cooking with Nishijima (JUNON June 2013 Excerpt)

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:34:00 -0400

In the June 2013 issue of 「JUNON」, Nishijima Takahiro was asked cuisine-related questions.

Image courtesy of sssssan.

Nishijima said that, instead of coming home after work and expecting his wife to cook his dinner, he would prefer to come home and cook together with his wife.

When having a date over at his house, he would prefer to prepare meals for his girlfriend in advance so there would be a sense of surprise (for his girlfriend) and to avoid the pressures associated with on-the-spot cooking.

When asked about what he’d like his girlfriend or wife to wear when cooking, Nishijima admitted that he has a soft spot for aprons, saying that aprons often look very pretty on girls, especially with rolled up sleeves.

Nishijima revealed his favourite “home cooked” meals are cooked sea bream, simmered taro, sweet fried egg and miso soup, and adding that he generally likes seasoning but strongly dislikes cucumbers and herbs.

Make sure to buy 「JUNON」 - available now! :)
