Nogizaka46 7th Year Birthday Live has begun!

Four days of fun culminating in Nishino Nanase’s graduation concert. This year is the return to form where they will perform their entire discography: 22 singles and 4 albums totaling 177 songs!

But the legendary 1st Generation of Nogizaka shrinks at the end of the week. One this month. One next month. They’ll be down to 13 original members. So let’s celebrate with their swan song, Against. When they are all graduated, we shall remember them all so fondly. But until then, love your oshimen.

Overture

Overture.

It plays before every live. Makes me ready and happy.

Today it should’ve been the 6th Year Birthday Live. It will happen in July. But today is their anniversary. Congratulations, Nogizaka-chan! Here’s to many more!

A W on A BDay

For my baseball partner in crime, Orioles get a W against the hated Yanks and Adam Jones hits an Earl Weaver special. He did it just as we were doing FaceTime.

It’s been a long time since we’ve talked. There is the 12 hour time difference, and I could barely hear a word she said. Yet, we had some fun.

Yeah for a W!

Even better as nice present to my good pal, Marge! Happy birthday!

Baseball, Brooks, and Broderic

Here’s where baseball, Orioles, and I start.

Thirty-nine years ago on a blazing, bright Sunday, my family and I caught the ‘Brooks Robinson Thanks Brooks Day‘ at Memorial Stadium. I woke up that Sunday and instead of going to church, we jumped up the station wagon and headed to 33rd Street for a baseball game. It was packed. We ended up in the right field bleachers. I could not understand a thing happening during the ceremony. I thought it was a special day because it was my birthday but it was special because of Brooks Robinson. Thinking back, I’m sure this is why he turned out to be my favorite Oriole.

It is the first time I can associate things with baseball. I’m sure we went to a few games before that day, but this one I clearly remember as baseball. The others were just a game.

Link of the Day [2.17.16]

Forty-six is not enough. Forty-six is too much. Forty-six is going to be a marathon. Forty-six. Nogizaka46.

They are going to do a 46 hour web cast marathon for their fourth birthday special. You can watch it for free this weekend by following one of the streaming sites on today’s link. I suggest you bookmark it, and then watch it with me starting Friday evening.

I am so psyched.

This Is 10

This is Ten Years!

Not sure if you read my tenth anniversary post, but it has been 10 years of blogging fun. I have to post this screen cap to celebrate, and to have a reminder of the beauty that is the Registry at 10. Before it gets all ugly.
