“Good work, Dave. It takes a real man to crumble under pressure so fast.”

Let’s start of 2017’s NewsRadio Quote Month with a rocker.

BabyMetal death!

If there must only be one Nakamoto sister, I prefer Himetan and her lovely beam (ひめたんベーム!). But that won’t be possible come her graduation. So we’ll have to have the imouto, SUMetal. I believe she’s got a voice and poise better than Techi from Keyaki-chans. She would give her a run for the money.

So. The fox god will guide us well this month.

I wash watching Nogizaka’s 3rd Gen closing out Tokyo Idol Festival 2017 on YouTube when word came out that our beloved Himetan, Nakamoto Himeka, announced her graduation. Fudge. It ruined the show.

Himetan! Nooo! I hope it wasn’t because of health reasons. And I hope it wasn’t because she didn’t make senbatsu for the 18th single. But why? I am sad. Now we don’t have 46…

Barefoot Summer

I’m gonna post this, but it will be gone in a few weeks because of the copyright police. For now, though enjoy!

Hadashde summer isn’t my favorite of the three singles from last year, but everytime I listen to it from the live I love it and join in with the rest of the fans on the call…

Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!

Also, 3rd Gen! And an Ayatii blunder!!

So good.

Let’s go to Japan in November to help close out their tour!

It’s a 13 hour time difference between here and Japan. Here being the east coast of the United States. So you’ll have some Nogizaka goodness for breakfast as you watch two members promote their latest album on SHOWROOM. You just have to get up real early!

If you participate, don’t forget to throw some stars!!

And don’t forget to wish Nishino a happy birthday! 「お誕生日おめでとう西野七瀬!」

Nogizaka46 3rd Album, 「生まれてから初めて見た夢 」, “The Dream I Saw the First Time Since I Was Born.”

Get it.

Got it.

I don’t think the new songs are as good as their first two albums. The songs sound too much alike. The only saving grace is that there are some funky units, member pairings, that make for some interesting songs. I’m always up for alternative member units.

Ramen. I can go for some now. I wish America embraced it like we’ve embraced sushi, but I know some people who don’t believe soup is a meal. Ask Jerry Seinfeld.

Anyhow, don’t watch all these videos or you will be craving some ramen. But if you do so happen to watch and then crave some ramen, hit me up and we’ll go looking for some around town. If we don’t find any, let’s go to Japan.
