Mikey’s Neighborhood

Now playing with a friend's DS just after returning from work/more shopping~♥!! Black Friday?!! much too wild for me to stay out though (ノロ≦。)！！！....currently "multitasking?" as I'm (半身浴中♪。。。) in a "half bath" position～♪♪ while playing~ (。ーωー。)笑。However being most very very careful~! as this isn't my DS!!! (人∀`*)

Does anyone too own a DS?...I'm reading there are two versions?..or so many different models or is it just color choices? Friend's Japanese version~ has most *cute* games and I'm thinking that maybe the U.S. version will play them as well?...as getting a Japanese version~ would be very expensive I think ・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。Which U.S. version to get? Please help~ with your advice o(*´∀｀)o゛♥。 In any case....I now want~! want~! want~! So bad that I'm so easily tempted (*´艸`)。。so perhaps asking to borrow the DS was a bad idea I wonder~?…(^q^)!

First time playing while in the tub....(^-^*)。I know it's weird!!...however bath~time♪ is just so much more enjoyable♥ this way~! (￣▽￣)

PSP has fun games too~ ＼(^o^)／☆ but they're so different from what you'll find on the DS......and sometimes you just enjoy so much playing very *cute* games ne~ ＾　＾！

Now.....I'm shriveled not unlike a prune~ (・o・)！。。。。。maybe too much DS while bathing isn't a very good idea??? Lost track of time~! (。ーωー。)笑

Something deliciously dark..this way comes! ＾　＾

わぁーいo(*´∀｀)o゛。。。gotta love those little plushies~! even if they're so menacing in a cute way~!....and I wonder if there's really one of those crane game machines~ where you can win those mini plushies?♥

I hope everyone's enjoying their Thanksgiving♥Day~!!...so this will just be a tiny little post…(^q^)!

For a second time we're treated to yet another wonderfully cute mini lunchbox edition for a Hangry & Angry release~! At first I wasn't aware of this edition so I pre-ordered the RE....and then totally forgot to cancel it when I ordered this release instead~...(ノロ≦。)！Does anyone want a RE copy of Hangry & angry "Sadistic Dance?"...if so I'll give it away here if there are any inquiries (*´∀｀*)。

This cute mini tin includes the two disc edition~ and with the additional DVD you receive the pvs~ for both "Top Secret" and "Kill Me Kiss Me"....and both pvs~ absolutely rock!! っo(*´∀｀)o!

More than pure rock songs~♪♪ so many of these compositions embody much more in depth elements as they delve into pop hooks~♥ all the while remaining very very much heavy~! ＾　＾

What is it that I find so *enchanting* about H&A? It's that no matter how raw or heavy the music is, Rikachan's voice can't help but be so cute♥ and *cuddly*~ o(*´∀｀)o゛always~…(^q^)! Yossi on the other hand projects such a fierce look and power in her vocals~and it's a wonderful dynamic as....♥meow♥meow.....



...is wrapped in such darkness~(。ーωー。)笑！

When first seeing the track listing I had a funny inkling that "Lady Madonna" was going to be like The Beatles "Lady Madonna" ………(゜∀゜)………。Well, while it didn't turn out that way first you must hear this~!!!!:

It's a metallic* version of Tsunku's classic~!!..and I love how the chorus breaks into a gallop? of sorts!! ＼(^o^)／☆ Other favorites here are the all new versions of "Angelia", "Kill Me Kiss Me" and "Giza Giza" as they're now "crash berlin versions." ＾　＾ I'm also so in love with "Shake Me" and "Mr. Monkey!!!"....and the title track is amazing too~!

As you may expect the booklet is part lyrics and part fashion statement catalog~ ＾　＾！It's almost time for turkey♥~!...here are the the complete album tracks and scans~...

Oh and then there's this of course!! ↓↓↓
...um..annual decorations....:P

…(^q^)

Okay~! these are the preliminary results as the two top finishing *fantasy* teams will go onto a final one time drawing~ which CK♥ has so sweetly agreed to do for me once again~ o(*´∀｀)o゛！

So many wild things occurred this past Sunday including an on track altercation (ノロ≦。)！between one fiery Juan Pablo Montoya and one fiery but much more relaxed now Tony Stewart~! Let's just say that I just don't think that they'll be having Thanksgiving dinner together this year~ (・o・)。。。

Some really interesting results for some drivers at Homestead made way for some unexpected finishes~ as well as some expected finishes as well~...so without further delay here's the finishing order for each of your *fantasy* teams~!

4th place- Anise & Cloves- Drivers: Scott Speed, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya & Kyle Busch finished 27th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 38th & 8th respectfully for a combined average finish of 15.16.

3rd place- Hello!Jessie- Drivers: Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin & Tony Stewart finished 4th, 14th, 8th, 11th, 1st & 22nd for a combined average finish of 10.

...Yunachan~ always so *gorgeous*! (*´∀｀*)

The styling of "Let it Go"~...美しい。。

From sweeping♥ballads...to powerful dance tracks~, Ito Yuna has so much variety in her already sizable arsenal....and now with "Let it Go" we're treated to a lovely folk/rock interpretation~ ＾　＾。

Accompanying her LE you'll find a most impressively produced DVD~!! Drop dead *gorgeous* music video♥ and a "Kira Kira Making!" clip~! ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ♥♥♥

Ito Yuna's "Let it Go" can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

Ito Yuna's "Let it Go" can be ordered here at YesAsia.

Ito Yuna's "Let it Go" can be ordered here at HMV Japan.

This intro~ reminds me so much of R.E.M.! ＼(^o^)／☆ Both tracks allow for a bit of a "darker" texture to Yunachan's voice and hers is so perfect always~...range power highs~ lows falsetto vibrato control and deep moodiness~ which convey the lyrics so well~. Now hearing the karaoke track of "Let it Go"...this definitely sounds R.E.M. inspired so much~!!...like their bright and *happy* compositions~ a~h! mandolin?!



Just above is the music video for "Let it Go"....click to play~ ＾　＾。

Yunachan just keeps becoming more and more *beautiful* each time we see her in a new release~ and "Let it Go" really put so much into lots of varying wardrobe styles....hairstyles (all so *pretty*!!) and on location as well as in studio sets~. So much of this could be a Vogue cover I think~!

I really wanted to share her "Kira Kira Making" of clip too~ (*´∀｀*) (it's just a bit further down ↓↓↓) as you'll see/hear fashion points throughout accompanying her very different wardrobe changes....a wonderful and in depth look into filming as well as a very very sweet♥ surprise at the conclusion of the clip~!! Her birthday♥ was celebrated on set!! and on this most special day for Yunachan~ I *hope* her wishes came true~ on the blow of her candles~ ＾　＾。

ユナちゃんへ。。。誕生日おめでとうございます！＼(^o^)／☆！！。。↓↓↓

November 18th saw the release of Guardians4~ already third single~! And while the title group remains intact some big changes have occurred within H!P's Egg unit Shugo Chara Egg!~ including two new members most likely brought on due to the emergence of "Smile/age" as both Fukuda Kanon and Maeda Yuuka have left the unit~ taking on the task of their new group. Shugo Chara Egg's 2nd generation adds Maeda Irori and Fukumura Mizuki who *mysteriously* looks or maybe just reminds me so much of Maeda Yuuka? ＾　＾ The "veteran" member is now Saho Akari with plans perhaps to make Shugo Chara Egg! a 4nin unit once again~? It's just *wonderful* to see H!P Eggs getting more and more involved in major releases and while these may not be title group releases....they provide a great way for the Eggs to ease their way into the spotlight for sure~!

"Guardians4 "PARTY TIME" releases can be ordered here at Cdjapan.

Guardians4 "PARTY TIME" releases can be ordered here at YesAsia.

"PARTY TIME"'s LE includes a first press photo card (I'm guessing there may be individual member cards available?....mine's is a group photo ＾　＾) and additional DVD which focuses solely on jacket and photo shoots making of~. Guardians4 segment is just over 8 minutes while Shugo Chara Egg!'s photo session is just over 7 minutes as the DVD has them in separate chapters to choose from~.

"pa pa paya~pa pa pa pia?"....papaya~♥? "PARTY TIME" which serves as Shugo Chara's opening theme song~ is part modern disco....part thumping dance club and 100% boogie *wonderland~*! While it's definitely so much an engaging track~!....it may be that I still have Chocolove on the brain Σ(￣◇￣*)！but I think Shugo Chara Egg!'s coupling with track "Watashi no tamago" tickles me (^-^*) a bit more~! It's just that when it really comes down to my first love♥ of J-Pop it's really these purely written songs which capture me the most~.....uninfluenced by American or European or any other musical styles~ is "Watashi no tamago"....this one's purely Japanese♪♪～ driven o(*´∀｀)o゛。And while for the most part these are ensemble vocal stylings...don't H!P Egg's always sing so cutely~?!...so *well*~! ＾　＾

W~ai! the 'BIG CRACKER SCENE?!!' (・o・) It's a much over~sized version of those poppy thingies where you launch confetti~ by pulling on its string!.....

......by Nakki's reaction I don't think the aftermath of the "BIG CRACKER" smelled too good!! (ノロ≦。)！

Mizukichan takes over as Shugo Chara Egg!'s "Heart♥" member and she's so the perfectly *adorable* idol to fill Maeda Yuuka's place in this unit~.

And you may have thought these segments were only about *cuteness*~? Educational too~ ＼(^o^)／☆ as we witness the *perfect* way to creating your hand heart♥ o(*´∀｀)o゛！Hmm...I guess being new in unit one must learn the ways of projecting ~♥~! ＾　＾

かんぺきね～！
