Happy☆New Year! あけまして☆おめでとうございます！

Hello, boys and girls!
This is Hidayuki.
Please treat me well.

Happy New Year!

The passing 2011, the coming 2012. 

Dear 2011, you've been a great year to me that I really enjoyed our times together. Although it was (kind of) short, but I will never forget the lessons that I have learnt. 

As for Mr/Ms 2012, please treat me well in the future. Currently, I am still a lost girl who's struggling to climb up the stairs towards adulthood. May you become another meaningful year for me to carve in my memory.

Happy New Year, everyone around the world!

Have a prosperous new year!

Please treat me well this year too!

Speaking of which, Hidayuki is writing down a letter of resolution for 2012.
What will you resolution be?

Don't forget to set your own!

I planned to update my blog since there were some changes in Hello! Project for the past 6 months. So, until the cold's gone, I have to stay still on bed. Haa~ ~ ~

Campus Life updates Kii Project on hiatus

 Good afternoon, everyone! This is Hidayuki.

How do you do? Hidayuki has been well here in IPGM Kampus Keningau.

Haa... what should I share here? The last time I posted an entry here was about a Formspring question. So, I don't really know what to write here. （ーー；）


Well, I shouldn't be posting about my campus life anyway. It's my private life anyway. Only certain people should know about it. Hi hi hi~ ★(^.^)★


So, let's talk about my one and only project - Kii Project. Since graduating high school last year, I have been reviving the project since it was banned by the school teachers. I started the project in May 2010 and then put it on hiatus around September/October 2010. I graduated from high school in November, a month after that, so I was able to revive a solo project that I've been working on my own.


Although it wasn't that much, but I posted videos of me singing and dancing on Youtube using my third account. You might be wondering why did I created so many accounts there. This is because my first account was closed down after the teachers from school banned my videos which I have mentioned in my post HERE.
The my second account was for videos other than dance videos and singing videos. This account is still available. And then to revive the project in December 2010, I created my third account which I used to post videos of my singing and dancing. The revival of my project was successful. I even named the project "Kii Project" where the word Kii is the japanese pronunciation for Key.


Although my videos didn't get much views as it used to be, but I am glad that it was revived and still, people do watch them. I kept on posting videos until I entered IPGM Kampus Keningau on June 20th, 2011. I don't know how many videos I have posted during the time in 6 months. I simply just posted them. (・∪・*) And thanks to that, I was able to meet people like Wakao-san and other fans, although there are not as much as other Youtubers have. 


And so, at the moment I entered campus, Kii Project has been on hiatus, unofficially. Some of my friends and seniors here in campus watched them. Those whom I shown the videos gave good response. I planned to post more videos if I had the time. Thus, I continued practicing singing and dancing during the spare time I had in campus. But before I knew it, the news about my Kii Project had spread throughout the campus. That's when the history repeats itself.


One night, my  roommate asked me, "did u know that your videos had spread and the whole campus knew about it?" I was surprised. "Really?" I answered. Lin doesn't say much about it but she only asked "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to let be like that?".


From what I heard, she's trying to put it like it is a big problem. Well, many trainees here, whether it's seniors or the juniors of the same batch as me seems to dislike the idea of me running Kii Project. My friend from other class passed a message to me, from a senior, asking me to DO SOMETHING about those videos. I have been thinking, and seek help from others. Should I close the project once again and let it be Deja Vu?


A reply from Wakao-san made my decision. Wakao-san told me that it is best to chase after my dream first. TEACHER. Because it is the most important. So, I've decided to put Kii Project on hiatus. I'll be back.

HIDAYUKI WILL BE BACK.


Please wait for my return, everyone.

With love,
Motosuwa Hidayuki

Sudden announcement: ~S/mileage's Ogawa Saki's Graduation~

Good morning, everyone!
This is Hidayuki.


Right now, it's 0948, and I'm in lecture class. So, I was opening my e-mail inbox... I saw something: OGAWA SAKI TO GRADUATE FROM HELLO PROJECT AND S/MILEAGE.

Owh my goodness!!! >(*o*)<

Ogawa Saki

I do not believe this! It's too sudden. To ensure this myself, I visited S/mileage Official Site here: http://s-mileage.jp/info/2945 and Google Translate the news. It is sad... but it's true. Sakitty will graduate from Hello! Project and S/mileage. There is still no furthur news about this. I don't really understand japanese, but I do understand the news:

小川紗季は8月27日に名古屋　東別院ホールで行われる『有頂天LOVE』ライブイベントを
もって、スマイレージ及び、ハロー！プロジェクトを卒業する事をご報告させて頂きます。


Translation: "Ogawa Saki, by August 27th during UCHOUTEN LOVE Live Event to be held at Higashibetsuin Hall, Nagoya, will make an announcement regarding her graduation from S/mileage and Hello! Project."




I like Saki~ this is too sudden. (T^T) However, as a fan, I will support her decision.
ganbare, Saki chan!

Hidayuki's Long Absence

Good evening, everyone!
This is Hidayuki.

Hello from Keningau, Sabah! ★(*＾∇＾*)☆

It's been so long since the last time I posted here, right? How are you, dear friends? Hidayuki is fine along with the new environment, the new campus life I started a couple of months ago.


First of all, I'm sorry for being absent in these two months. Laziness has overcome Hidayuki. （ーー；）
Gomenasai. On June 20th, I have entered Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Keningau (IPGKK) and since then, I've walked a new path - the path towards the world of teaching and education.


Life has been good. I'm still in the process of arranging my time with the various activities held here. Just as I expected, the field of education is very interesting. And I am really glad to have entered here, and having to teach preschoolers in the next 5+ years. When I got interviewed on April 20th, I was worried. I really thought that I have failed. I didn't know anything about music. And when the interviewer/lecturer asked me "would you be interested to teach preschool?", honestly, I have given up hope. Without realizing the importance of early education of the children.


So, in campus, I have lectures from 0730 to 1300,  sometimes continued at 1400 to 1600 (on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays). Then I had other activities at 1600: Club activities - Hockey (Mondays and Thursdays) and GERKO - Ping Pong (Tuesdays). As for Wednesdays and Fridays... outing day! ヽ(*´∀｀)ﾉ


You know, preschool sounded simple and easy to teach. But in reality, the subjects that I took here are almost the same as the university or college level. My major subject is Preschool Education. But since I'm taking the foundation course for 18 months, I don't really study more detailed. I will do it later, in semester 1 of Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PISMP) in 2013. So, for now the subjects I took in this course, Program Persediaan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PPISMP) in this semester are:


1. Pengajian Melayu (PM)
2. Bahasa Inggeris (PI)
3. Pengajian Inggeris (BI)
4. Asas Matematik (MT)
5. Matematik 3 (MT3)
6. Agama Islam (AG)
7. Kemahiran Belajar (KB)
8. Pendidikan Seni Visual (PSV)
9. Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (TMK)




I love the subjects. I love studying them all. However, there are some difficulties that I encountered like drawing for PSV and how to control my drowsiness in class. I often slept during lectures. It's annoying! (((( ;ﾟдﾟ))))


Not only that, I also have problems and a bit slow in sports. I have never done sports during school before. So, have to enter IPGKK Hockey Team - Shark Team is a whole new experience for me. And Kelab kebudayaan too, I tried to get used to folk dances. I love dancing, but I only know the freestyle type dance. ha ha! o（≧∇≦）o




So, I believe that is all I will share for now. Until next time, have a nice journey in life! (●⌒ωﾟ●)ノ

Buono! – “Natsu DAKARA!” Tracklist

(from Hello! SayuNii Blog - thanks!)

Regular Edition (CD)

01. Natsu DAKARA!

02. Ice Mermaid

03. Natsu DAKARA! (Instrumental)

Limited Edition A (CD+DVD)

CD

Same tracklist

DVD

Natsu Dakara! (3Shot Lip ver.Sofa)

Limited Edition B (CD+DVD)

CD

Same tracklist

DVD

Natsu dakara! (3Shot Lip ver.white)

The tracklist for the 3 editions of Buono!’s 12th single titled Natsu DAKARA! has been released.

First of all, I’m really surprised to see that the tracklist to all editions have been released since we usually only get the regular edition’s tracklist first followed by the Limited Edition’s, and it’s nonetheless a very pleaant surprise since with the absence of covers, we can set the single in a general theme.

The c/w song for this single seems to have yet another interesting title, just like the title of JUICY H@EART or Runaway Train which just makes me want to hear the song right away, and it’s a total contrast with the main song’s title since Natsu (Summer) and Ice Mermaid clash a bit, although mermaids usually live in the sea and the mention of the sea makes us think of summer…

Apart the very mysterious and appealing title of the c/w song, we can start speculating about what the PV will be like, and from the 2 different shots in each Limited Edition, we can say that it will have various scenes, one on a sofa most probably and the second one being a bit too vague to guess, but I just hope that even with this addition, there will be a dance shot to compensate the lack of dance Zassou no Uta had.

Overall, It’s the first time I ever get excited for a single by the tracklist alone so hopefully anyone who hadn’t made their mind yet can pre-order a copy!

The release date is set for 7/20.

Berryz Koubou & C-ute Nakayoshi Battle Fall Concert Tour 2011

(from Hello! SayuNii Blog - thanks!)

A second joint concert for Berryz Koubou and C-ute temptatively titled Berryz koubou & C-ute Nakayoshi Battle Fall Concert Tour 2011 has been announced.

I was very surprised when I saw the announcement since I didn’t expect to see (C-ute specially) have another joint concert, but after getting the idea, I am really excited about this since their first Berryz Kamen -vs- Cutie Ranger joint concert was a total success thanks to the awesome chemistry that both groups have.

Even though there is no mention about bringing back Berryz Kamen and Cutie Ranger (which seems logical due to the fact that the member’s number in each group was 7 at the time, and now they are down to 7 Berryz and 5 C-ute), the mention of a “battle” still puts hopes up for another new and excentric theme that the concert tour could have to use the member’s personalities and energy.

With that announcement, Berryz and C-ute will have 2 upcoming works together, which are the Gekidan Gekiharo stage play and this battle concert tour, so this is an amazing opportunity for fans to check out the 2 groups perform again together, and hopefully everyone who attended the first concert tour will attend this one too since there is no doubt that it will be an amazing event.

Overall, I’m really excited about finally seeing C-ute and Berryz perform together again since they are all after all from the talented H!P Kids and since they worked together once on a similar project, I recommend everyone in the area to attend since you won’t be deceived by the energy and power these groups put in during their concerts.

Hopefully more details will be out soon to get ourselves in the theme that the concert tour will have.

Here are the announced dates so far:

Date	Venue	Concert starts
10/22	NHK Osaka Hall (Osaka)	15:00 / 18:30
10/23	NHK Osaka Hall (Osaka)	14:00 / 18:00
11/03	Ichikawa-shi Bunka Kaikan (Chiba)	15:00 / 18:30
11/05	Nakano Sunplaza (Tokyo)	15:00 / 18:30
11/06	Nakano Sunplaza (Tokyo)	14:00 / 18:00
11/20	Aichi Chukyo Daigaku Bunka Shimin Kaikan Aurora Hall (Aichi)	15:00/18:30

Suzuki Airi – “Kibun Tenkan” DVD Cover

(from Hello! SayuNii Blog - thanks!)

The DVD cover for Suzuki Airi’s 4th solo DVD titled Kibun Tenkan (Change of Mood/Pace) has been released.

First of all, I have to say that I was blown away by the picture used in the cover since it does seem to fit the title of the DVD, where we get to see Airi posing in a very charming way on the sand with her eyes closed and a hand held up to her head which is slightly turned towards the beach and the title.

Even though the cover doesn’t have a dramatical change in it’s aspect like the title suggested, it still is a very nice improvement since the pose shows how Airi has grown since her last solo release and the overall calm setting matches the PBs perfectly since they both also have a calm and serene theme.

The title of the PB is kind of cheesy since it’s written in a very flat font in pink, but it still looks good overall since it fills the space and has a reflect of Airi’s bikini (both having a shade of pink), and her name is written on the bottom left corner in pink too.

Overall, I really am impressed with how this cover turned out to be since it’s a very nice way to bring out the title and showing off Airi, with an amazing setting to complete the look.

Hopefully everyone can purchase a copy to support Airi in her solo releases, and hopefully more details about her 5th solo DVD will be out soon.

The release date is set for 7/10.

Sushi ~ ♥ (´◡`) ♥

Good evening, everyone.
This is Hidayuki. v(^.^)v


How are you, dear readers? Hidayuki had been offline for a few days. Hidayuki was busy with her preparations to set out for the registration of the Institute of Teacher's Education this Monday.


As many of my acquaintance know, I'll be off to Keningau (where I've been admitted to) on Sunday. Staying the night in Kota Kinabalu (or Keningau, if necessary), then I'll be off to my first journey the day after.


I'm spending the last days here busily, yet memorable to me. It's been nostalgic. It was just yesterday that I had been singing and dancing in the living room of my house. Now I'm going to leave them all (temporarily though) for the sake of my future career.


Anyway, today... I bought some sushi! ♥ (´◡`) ♥

It was delicious!
I want more~ ♪ー( ´▽｀)

Good Morning ☆ Monday

Hello and good morning, everyone!
This is Hidayuki.


How was yesterday? Did everyone recharge from relaxig Sunday?
I know someone didn't.

My best friend, Syaz, was busy preparing stuff to set out for her journey to adulthood last night.
She is going to furthur her study at Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan (Labuan Matriculation College) in Labuan, Malaysia. It was a fast one. She got the letter of admission on Friday night, then she had to prepare stuff on Saturday and Sunday. I helped her a little. I'm going to miss her.

Oh well, 2 of my 3 bestfriends had set out to the journey of adulthood. The next one will be me. I'm leaving for Keningau district in Sabah, Malaysia to the Institute of Teacher's Education like I told you before. I'll leave on Sunday, June 19th. After that, the last one to go is Neyna. She will go to a polytechnic school in December. No matter where you set out to, please take care and do the best! Good luck, everyone!

 

And so, now I'm getting ready for my own journey to adulthood. I'm feeling more heart-throbbing nowadays.
So... Uncle Achill and Aunty BB ~ wait for my arrival there! (LOL)

It's Monday today, so no matter what you're doing/going to do, please do the best!
That is all from me... it's Hidayuki!
