Japanese Cultural Night @NUS!

久さしぶり皆～！;3

I’m back from Kyoto n_n Really didn’t want to come back because I miss the weather, food and the pretty scenery >.< I actually like the pace of life there, much slower for a sloth like me xD

Anyway, I attended Japanese Studies Society ‘s  annual Japanese Cultural Night! ;3

This year theme is The Story Of Dreams (夢物語)

They had a lot of traditional mixed subculture performances by Koto, Buyo, Pika Pika Meido Cafe,wotagei (lightstick dance),  Bands as well as solo singers ^^  My favourite was God Knows performed by the bands

Pictures! I apologize for the bad quality>w< because I used a phone to take this & sat at the very last row Q.Q

-

With Kyoko! ;3 hehe she is currently on exchange in NUS for one semester. I met her when I was exchange in Ritsumeikan xD　可愛いでしょう？ｗ

Pika Pika Meido Cafe! ♥ They are so cute ヽ(；▽；)ノ Their fans were screaming and waving lightsticks (a first)

Group shot at the end!! (｀・ω・´)”

 Bands from NUS CAS , they are the ones performing God Knows! ;3 Was so happy when they performed it (Last time I sang it was in a karaoke  which was in Japan.. TWT)

Koto(☆^O^☆) I really really like the songs they play, feels somewhat like guzhen in Chinese culture!

 Buyo! ;3
They had a lucky draw and top 3 winners get capital land vouchers //envious// （’-’*)
Finally a shot with Simin and Hweebin~!

I didnt take much photos because a lot of them cmi so these are the best I have. I also got lazy to take at the end xD^^; You can go to JSS’s facebook page if you want to view the full album :3

Ending off with a neko poseლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

Q & A~☆

What can we expect from your concert?

The big difference from last year is that I'm bringing in my stage set from Japan. The concept is "a girls room" and  it will be similar to my clips. I hope you enjoy it (*ゝω・)ﾉ♥♥♥ ･ﾟ:*:ﾟ

Do you have any favorite food in Singapore?

Chili crab~! I just arrived yesterday so I haven't tried much local food（★＞U＜★）

Are you conscious of your Japanese identity when you hold overseas concerts?

Yes I feel the pressure to some extent because I'm representing Japan.

So I'll try my best★

Do you have any interesting episodes when recording Family Party?

The producer amplified my voice for Family party *laughs*

This particular song really stands out because it is different from my usual song styles♪

Since you are a fashion icon, what fashion are you into lately and what is you fashion for today?

I'm currently into sleepwear such as nightgowns. I'm collecting new pieces these days~

My outfit is all white today and it is actually made my a new Japanese designer

The pattern on the dress is handrawn by the artist itself, so it is delicate and I have to be careful when I wash it ♥

Group shots with her fans who won the competitions for Meet and Greet~

Dressed in casual fairy kei for the concert at night (^///^)

Kyary performd Kira Kira Killer as well as her hits like Pon Pon Pon~ Loved her concert! super energetic and hyper! And super quirky and eccentric with the bears and clockwork soldier!

Here is the ultra cute song!! It's stuck in my head (✪‿✪)ノ　

Thank you Cutepop and SOZO again!^^ Shizuku and I had so much fun ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

[UPDATED] May’n DOTS & LINES Live in Singapore! (o◕ฺω◕ฺ)♦♫⁺♦

Hello everyone! Miki here~~~ 

Recently  I was invited to Mayn’s press conference by SOZO Entertainment as a Cutepop writer! :*:・(*´ω`pq゛ I went with Eleanor~!

★Pic credit: Jpopasia.com★

 Brief background of May’n! 

★May Nakabayashi (中林 芽依 )

★Born October 21, 1989

★She sings various theme songs for anime, like being the voice of Sheryl Nome in Macross F frontier where all her fans are familiar with 

One of her songs:

~ Chase the world ~

I really loved her cover of God Knows, her voice is so powerful for someone so petite^^ 

Here is the video♪

Her newest album is "Kyo ni Koiro" (今日に恋色Today in Color of Love) 

We began our interview for her!! She’s so cute in person, totally goddess like *fangirl* 

Q & A (質問) with MAY'N!(*∩ω∩)

1. What is your number one favourite food in Singapore?

May'n : My number one favourite food is roti prata♪ Especially banana prata (笑)

2. How do you find Singapore?

May'n: I like the delicious food, beautiful and clean streets♪ 

Also, as Singapore is the starting point for my career,  it is therefore close to my heart. I feel very calm every time when I come back here because it 's somewhere that I'm familiar with.

3. Out of all the songs you sing, which is your favourite song? Why?

May'n : It would be the song “Diamond Crevasse.” The song represents myself, so it's very important to me♪

4. When you have free time, what do you usually do?

May'n: I enjoy conversations in English and also going to the gym♪ (笑)

5. When you are a singer, what are some things that you are grateful for?

May'n: I am grateful for having the chance to encounter new fans when singing and also to sing. Recently, rather than singing alone on stage, I felt that it was fun to sing together with my fans

♪(o^ ^o) /

6. What can we look forward to with regards to your future music plans?

May'n: Because I’m reaching my 10th anniversary, I wish to take on more challenges in new areas of my singing career. I have always had a cool image so I will like to try to change my image  into a more cutesy image (As seen in her latest album) , not just experimenting in different genres but more of expanding out in my singing career♪

7. What would you like to say to your fans?

May'n: I’m happy to come back to Singapore for a solo live concert after quite some time. I will do my best to come back soon to meet everyone again♪ (^///^)

~Concert~

When we reached there, wow there were so many  fans!

Fans (mostly male) were already lining up outside TAB~

Got out wristbands~ Super excited to go in!

Only snapped this shot because no photography was allowed. We managed to get a good side view spot cause we queued early ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

[updated] Official pictures from the concert by SOZO:

We had so much fun!! May'n was so full of energy and all her songs are so catchy!!

She was so cute that she took time to talk to fans in between her songs

Asking things like what food she should try etc.

Food like tau huey, chendol, were thrown out by the fans ;3

Everyone were waving their lightsticks and singing along with May'n ! She also sang songs from her newest 

album "Kyo ni Koiro" (今日に恋色, Today in Color of Love) 

Also songs like「私のしるし」Watashi no shirushi (my favourite! xD ), Lose my illusions etc.

Here's a preview of her album:

She also took her time to thank each and every single one of her fans in each sections by saying Arigatou so many times! so touched n.n  ♥；（●＾3＾●メσ）

We really enjoyed the concert!

Thank you very much SOZO Entertainment for bringing May'n and also Cutepop for the opportunity!! ^^

Lets hope May'n will come again for AFA this year! ;3

 じゃ、また！
