Dear Readers,

Hmm, if anything, this should have been the FIRST one to be released this week, since it’d be a good one for Taking off the spree.

Before I forget, what day is it?
It’s Black and White day!

This is definitely one of my top favorite songs.

The introduction as the members come on stage is great, though I’d say Ai-chan’s is a bit awkward.
But I love Risa’s part, it’s like she was teleported down, which is just pure win!

Most of the effects are inspired from the lighting done within the performance, wonder if you’re able to spot those.

Originally we planned to do the performance of this from the Aki ~Resonant LIVE~ concert, but went with this version because it was the full song and the introduction is just awesome!

The Resonant LIVE one mainly only had a great ending where the music continues and they just “freestyle”, but that’s about it from that one.

Enjoy!

PS:
I hope you have all enjoyed the past two weeks as we have done an Utaban week as well as a PV/Perf one.

If you’ve missed the First release that started this entire thing just have a click below:
Xvid or H264

Not sure when the next one will be, but let’s just say we’ll be on the slow track yet again… UNLESS!!! There’s people out there that think they can help us in either the Translation or Karaoke Typesetting end ^_^
{If so, just PM me, thanks!}

Dear Readers,

It’s Red & Yellow & Orange day!

Here’s something that’s pretty ancient, you know back from ’08.

Description (by Tomo-chan):
This is probably one of my favorite songs ever.

I’m still a big fan of both Yaguchi and Yasuda, so this was a must-do on my list.

The performance is pretty short, but very upbeat and showcases the voices of both singers pretty well.

I really hoped that they’d done a few more songs, but they didn’t *sigh*. My fandom will die out *cries*… Anyway!

SacredCultivator especially liked the Tilt effects on 2 of the lines. You’ll have to really look to see them.

Enjoy!

Dear Readers,

Here’s Abe Natsumi’s 10th Single PV!

And it’s also…. Green Day!

Now talk about grass!

This one works just perfectly with the PV, as you’ll find grass and clouds to accompany the tune.

If you’re an Abe fan, this one is for you!

Enjoy!

I love this song and am a huge nacchi fan

Dear Readers,

Here’s Berryz Koubou’s 22nd Double A-side, first A-side single PV!

Not only that, but I think today is… Momoko day? Ehh!? Well it can be I guess, but it’s Pink day!

We had to come back with a BANG right? I mean it’s been sooo long since we do PV’s.

We’re just being punched by Berryz Koubou, who doesn’t want that? Shock!

Anyway, this definitely is magnificent with all the thunder / sparks / Risako / Momoko.

So be prepared to be shocked as this awesome PV is finally completed!

Oh man, heh, the last 5 screencaps are of Risako~

For the “Oh yeah otakebi” lines, I honestly don’t hear the “otakebi” part so the karaoke may look a bit “off” but I’m assured it’s right.

Enjoy!

Dear Readers,

Here’s Fujimoto Miki’s 6th Single PV!

It’s White Day!

This one definitely took a long time to pass into release stage.

But good ol’ alfredcastle pulled through with this and passed! Hope to see future works by him.

We have this old treasure… Are there still any Mikitty fans out there for this?

I know that we have been backlogged for who knows how long but we just wanted to complete whatever we could.

Enjoy!

Dear Readers,

Okay, so we conducted a small poll a few weeks back and it seems that in 2nd place of things wanting to be subbed were PV/Perf’s.

Shocked really as we haven’t done any of these in what seems like forever!

So with that said, the genre for this weeks 6-day release will be PV/Perfs! And adding to that, there will be a “theme” so to speak, each day will be a different color.

I declare this Purple Day… Why? Because this week will be fill with a concentration on a Color. Still confused?

Don’t be, each release will have a color-theme, doesn’t really mean much except that each release description will start out with a color =P

So we thought this would be an Elegant release!

This is definitely a favorite of mine!

Tomo-chan has really done this as a great comeback as when you watch this you’ll be stunned as to how elegantly this is presented.

Very lace-y and suits the PV so well.

Enjoy!

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,

Here’s Sayashi Riho’s 1st PB Making of!

Short and sweet, and quite some chatter about how she felt about having her first photobook.

The outfits in this are pretty nice.

And the scene where she gets owned by the waves is too cute, clinging to the rope for dear life.

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!
