dear j lyrics

from jpopasia:
kanji&romaji from PrincessMusume
translation from lifestream


Kanji
Dear J 振り向いた君は
You are J 美しすぎて
僕はもう 気絶しそうだよ
君よりもっと 輝いてるものは
Less than zero

初めは気付かなかったくらい
誰かわからなかったくらい
あの日のbaby 素敵なlady
生まれ変わってた
もう二度と離さないくらい
誰にも奪われないくらい
抱きしめたいbaby 僕はget ready
愛のためにすべてを捨てよう

Tomochin at a pressconference~

read the full article here at tokyohive
part of it:

During the interview directly following her press conference, reporters asked many questions about the upcoming release of her debut single, “Dear J,” which will be available for sale on January 26th. “It’s very stressful, but I’m really happy about it because it’s been my dream ever since I was little,” Itano said of her first work as a solo artist. “I personally felt that the song wasn’t ready, but since (Dear J) is my first song, it’s fine. Akimoto (Yasushi)-sensei told me, ‘Dear J’s good,’” she continued, smiling.

Reporters also asked the AKB48 member to explain the mysterious title of her solo song. “I’ll leave that up for those who listen to it to decide. (The J in Dear J) could mean ‘Japan,’ it could be people called ‘J,’ it can be whatever you think it means,” Itano answered. She also revealed that “Dear J” has become her nickname among AKB48. “It’s embarassing, but whenever they tell me, ‘I saw your poster!’, and send me a picture of it, I get so happy,” the idol replied with sheepish grin.

it's so cute how the other members call her dear j XD
i love how they support her so much :D there's tons of pics in that article too~ so check it out X3

♫ bird

http://www.wat.tv/video/akb48-bird-1wicf_2isjp_.html


if you ask me which ver of bird is the best
i'd say "tomochin's!"


in all seriousness tho, her ver is pretty awesome ♥
i think this is the first solo i heard from her...
i listened to takamina's ver too
and it's really good too...
but i dunno, i just LOVE tomochin's voice.


you'd think that she has a really cute-anime voice
(to match her face)
but she doesn't!
it's actually...really deep/soothing :D


of course, if you're not used to females japanese voices
you'd think all idols have high-pitched screechy voices.
but, after being surrounded by idols for 2 years, 
you can tell the different types :)
and tomochin's is one of my favs ♥
her voice is one of the few 
that i can listen to before i fall asleep~


-mikari

what to do when you're pissed ☆

obviously, you should look at tomochin pics.
which is what i'm going to do now...
because i AM pissed at things atm.

ahh~ so dorky-cute ♥
i love her long hair keke
her blog pics are the best~
i'm the type that believes in natural beauty~
like, unphotoshopped pics are wayyy prettier than photoshopped ones :)

schoolgirl tomochin!

super cute~☆

i would love to have a study buddy like tomochin~♫

hmm..i wonder if emoticons work here...

*tries* OMG IT WORKS.

kya~~~~ 

so freaking cute!!!
i want that sweater/dress thing 

i love how this pic was shot 

it looks so artsy~

DORKY TOMO IS AWESOME. 

this pic is one of my top favs.

rawr. :3
this costume is totally cute! 
totally fits her~ 




/end of picspam.


i feel so much better now. :)
i told a friend that b/c of a couple doses of tomochin, i felt better
and she was like "....is that a new painkiller?"
and i was like "yup. but a very special kind." 
(and then i told her who tomochin actually was lol)


-mikari


*edit: this is the only post i'll be using the emoticons in
because it looks funky in white boxes LOL
didn't realize it was going to turn out like that till i published the post lol
meh~ it's cute. :D
