Mugen Live @ Music Japan
Yay.
[media id=17 width=480 height=270]
Mizuki Nana’s first Mugen live in NHK Music Japan, aired few hours ago.. it was recorded live early last month exactly on my birthday (some people might remember I was sulking the whole WEEK thanks to the awesome timing).
Notes
- As you’ve seen she now sings on TV with real confident so nothing much to say about the musical quality.
- I already grew to like Mugen more than when I first heard it, or saw the frightening PV.. and this just floored me down.
- The PV costume looks pretty good in real life.
- Not much cheers can be done to the song, but Mugen goes really well with ultra orange lights!
NHK Kouhaku Blog
There was also an ad about Nana’s participation in NHK Kouhaku blog.. by now I think everyone knows about it. You might notice in my sidebar that my blog has been Nanafied (even more than it already is)–the countdown banner! 
I never had so much fun watching clock ticking.
To get the codes you just need to put simple details here (see seiyuu3 ojisan’s English guide).
Sekine Mari~ <3
Another thing I’d like to tell you is.. I am now officially a fan of Mari-chan (the cute 25-year-old MJ host) ^^; This week’s MJ haz Bon Jovi live (tho it wasn’t recorded with audience).. and during the interview, I learned that Mari-chan speaks perfect English–the best I’ve ever heard from a native Japanese. Turns out she studied Communication in Emerson College (US) before, but heck I know a Japanese who has been staying here for 9 years and I speak better English than her when I’m drunk.
And I must praise NHK for being damn fast deleting the vids. I was halfway watching the video when I sent the link to someone, and puff~! the video is already gone. Anyway the HD torrent will be up real soon.. sigh why don’t they just make it easier by selling the recordings.
Mugen is slowly growing on me, too. I just tend to think of the PV and scream bloody murder. Judging from this, I think it sounds better live….
PS – FCUK YOU YOUTUBE MAINTENCWENJUASDBFJASBDCVASJGAadh
Best MJ live to date. (Though some of you might disagree and say Discotheque was the best.
I love the kohaku banner. 60 days of Nana photos! Woot!
Ah yes, I think I became a fan of Sekine Mari while watching the times Nana performed at MJ. It’s the way Mari speaks to the artists, polite but with zeal and genuine interest, and how she stares at their eyes with full attention. Very professional, and cute. :3
beat me to the punch on this one! (LOL as usual I guess) And much agree on the costume look 100x better in person than in the PV (which I wish I could forget about)!
FYI on the Nana banner, the good folks at seiup.net already screenshot-ed the numbers which can be found http://m0e.me/3e & http://m0e.me/3f . Can’t wait to see what all 60 days will look like XD
Did not expect Mari-chan to speak such fluent english. Since when did Nana narrate Music Japan with an onee-san voice? I definitely love the onee-san voice she uses now.
Nana’s red nails…scares me, I think black would have been better. When Mugen is sung live, it just sounds so hard to sing. Nana’s songs generally are really hard to sing (maybe except Discotheque), Mugen just sounds even harder. Alot of artists don’t bother bringing live band to Music Japan, it’s nice to see Cherry Boys always there.
I still need brain bleach. That PV has influenced me enough not to listen to Mugen in bed…
got a bit headache hearing the clock ticking @.@
can’t complain anymore though, because i could turn off the ticking sound and it has cute nana in it <3
yayye Mugen live. haha i never noticed the tiny hat on Nana’s head! and speaking of Mugen, i spent a long time wondering which song Dear Dream reminded me of. then i realised that the starting few notes Nana sung sounded like Aoi Iro IMO.
i wonder could someone actually make a windows gadget from it? it’s ten times better than the clock in my desktop
I am starting to like Mugen too.. and now i am “forcing” myself to like the PV as well lol
LOL *joins the “starting to like Mugen better now line”
Mari’s one of the few Japanese on TV whose English doesn’t make part of me inside die when I hear it. Okay, maybe it’s because there are too many ppl around me using me as an English practice dummy. Gah.
Am I the only like who like Mugen’s PV? I think it’s awesome with random fires and with two lolies with masks <3
I like the masks not lolies hehehe
i also like it, only hate the lolis, red ball, and extra hands
Your countdown banner scared the crap out of me first time I heard it. I didn’t know where the ticking noise was coming from and thought my laptop was going to explode >_>
The ticking scared me too. I guess i’ve seen too much j-horror movies lately. Anyway, i begin to luv mugen from the third time i saw the PV. Especially the part after the second “zutto”, right before the end.
PS. I wanna be Nanafied too!!!
