Dear Readers,

Hope you’ve enjoyed our close to 1 week daily releases of Utaban! This is the last one as we just couldn’t get a 7th completed on time to make a full week.

We tried to do one of each group/soloist to get at each fan-group, so it was a fun ride.

Some W!

This is their first appearance on Utaban.

They talk about what they’ll do when they graduate from Morning Musume as well as who’ll they continue seeing (fate).

Then they get into discussion about boyfriends and what they’d do if Kago doesn’t get one.

Just how close are Kago and Tsuji?

An example is provided to see how devoted they are to each other.

More or less see how close they are that they kiss?

Oh no, is W not that big of a deal to the Utaban hosts?

Yasuda Dai Circus makes an appearance to teach W. Time to see if they can teach them a new pose.

We top it all off with a performance of Koi no Vacance.

Enjoy!

PS:
Stay tuned for next week as we’re doing another (6) release spree of a different genre.

Dear Readers,

(This one is for you Mattthecat! {And all other Matsuura fans =P})

Just trying to hit a little of each old school group/soloist for these Utabans cause you know we all got our own niches.

Description (by Siliqua):
This latest release features Ayaya on Utaban, circa 2003, promoting her single “Ne~e?”

Starts with Ayaya telling little stories of her recent emotional experiences.

Then moving onto a quiz not unlike the Dandy Sakano one which followed a couple of months later.

Plenty of appearances by Japan’s #1 super-idol Tayaya and an unbearably cute studio performance of “Ne~e?” makes this an unmissable video for Matsuura fans.

Enjoy!

PS:
Anyone happen to have a RAW for the following?
1999-09-02 Taiyo to Ciscomoon – Everyday Everywhere
(Only one that I’m missing of 1999)

Dear Readers,

You know we like to keep things old school =P, well we try to appeal to all audience, so this one’s for the MK lovers!
(As you recall we had that MK spree before, and this one just couldn’t make the cut)

I believe this is the LAST unsubbed Utaban featuring Melon Kinenbi.

They were too enthusiastic on their previous appearance so we’ve got to calm it down a bit.

So they must wait till the curtain falls to be able to speak.

Each member has a nickname, but Taka-san doesn’t think it suits them, so what will their new names be?

Just what sort of replies do we get with such short time to even respond?

Wait, which of these members has no friends, that’s sad.

Eventually the curtains fall and chaos breaks loose.

They find out what ranking their latest single places as they’ve slowly climbed up the list with their previous singles.

A “lucky charm” to get them to have a hit on the top 10, but will Melon give it a shot?

It’s like selling their souls to the devil, probably explains why they ask so many questions and are hesitant. Not to mention, in an extreme case, they can die!

And we top off the show with a performance of “Natsu no Yoru wa Danger!”

Enjoy!

Another Tanpopo appearance!

And it’s Taka-san’s b-day, so they enter by singing happy birthday.

Just what could the gift be?

Then we move onto part 2 of Tanpopo going mainstream.

They help out with the stage setup that they will be performing on.

We get a performance of Seinaru Kane ga Hibuku Yoru.

After their performance we see how they react when their hard work gets stripped down.

Enjoy!

Dear Readers,

As promised and inspired by Jen/Bryan’s Wed, let’s kick off Utaban Week.

And how appropriate is this episode? HOLD ON ME!

Kicking it super old school!

It’s the first Tokuban! Although it’s two hours, this isn’t =P

Rivalry as the stage gets filled by both Yaen and MM.

Then we get into a VTR about a Fortune Teller in Malaysia.
One for Yaen and their fortune, then move onto MM’s.

Onto questionnaire to see which is the better group.

Questions are asked to dish out dirt on each other.

Intermission and we get a performance of Daite HOLD ON ME!

Some more crazy antics take place and then we move onto Battles:
-Addition
-Hearing
-Unicycle
-Leg splits
-Cabbage dicing
-Monomane

And then the final match is grabbing yen, who grabs the most?

Enjoy!

Topping it all off with a performance of “Miss Love Tantei”

Enjoy!
