Yukari-hime da!! Citron no Ame~♪

Thanks to typhoon and lack of food/sleep I fell sick. ;__; Head’s spinning as I type this haha.

8th album release from Tamura Yukari, titled Citron no Ame.
Bought when it hits the stores on Sept 7. Funny note that on its actual release date, Sept 8 marks the first time Japan got some rain again after a whole month of hot hell.. tho it’s not raining oranges for sure.

Only bought one for now, considering to get another but not sure which store. :-/ That’s tapestry from Tora no Ana which I like the most.. Same size as Nana’s Impact Exciter tapestry so they can be raburabu together ♥

Tamura Yukari x Gamers haz shopper bag (any purchase) and a free magazine. Gamers is the only shop with poster, but I don’t really fancy the shot. :-/ Leaning to Animate’s deskpad for an extra.

Promotions.

First is the real reason I bothered to go to Akiba, the ads trailer! Unlike Nana’s truck that kept going around, Yukarin’s truck was parked in the heart of Akiba for a long time.. only moving places every 30 mins or so.

Enough time to cross the street and take the other side’s shot.

Front and back pic. It’s really too bad the truck is white (probably reusing Nana’s).. pink would be awesome!

Left side has 2 shots.

Gamers set up an outside booth specially to sell Citron no Ame. Had to wait there for a while before I could get this shot.. people kept coming by to buy the CD. ^^;

Left is inside display, lol LOVE ME NOW pompoms.
Right is the elevator.. trying to dismiss weird jokes now lol.

Tora no Ana has the citron feel!

CD Review.
My relationship with Yukarin’s songs is a bit weird. There are songs I really really dig, and those I really don’t care about. ^^; Usually I prefer Yukarin’s songs to be crazy, energetic, lively with exciting beats and all. Some slower songs are pretty good, but the normal pop ones are meh. :-/

I like Citron no Ame much more than Komorebi no Rosette, which I merely bought for its awesome DVD.

Existing songs are all great: You & Me, Oshiete A to Z, My Wish My Love, and Tiny Rainbow, no complaints on those. For new songs.. Heavenly Stars is a fun start. Leading song LOVE ME NOW is easily lovable too, tho I’m more addicted to Love Love Baby Happy Star.. xD looking forward to these live!

Some songs have funny beats (Kamisama Rescue Me!!, Goody & Happy, Suna Ochiru Mizu no Kyuuden) or just meh (Shinseiro, Koi ni Ochita Painter). Good thing that slower songs get better too. Pretty surprised with Love Sick, it’s so.. umm “normal”, considering how crazy Yukarin/motsu duet were in You & Me. ^^; Well less rap to memorize xD

DVD Review.

Clocking at merely 40 minutes, need moarrr Yukarin.

PV & Making
The making is the BEST part of this DVD.. *loops again*

You & Me

Yukarin feat. motsu!!

BIG BANG!! damn I need to really memorize the rap part to do this properly next month..

Go go go go! ヾ(*´∀`*)ﾉ Fave part of this PV.

Yukari cup!! motsu finished his part earlier so I guess Yukarin was kinda bored?

Pull pull pull pull (and the staffs had to clean up the mess after)

BIG BANG!! Yukarin’s attempt to do motsu’s rap. :3

….trying to bite her staff? Where should I apply to work with Yukarin?

Posing with donuts. The staff burst into laughters right after taking the shot. ^^;;;

Shadow doggy~ (if it’s Yukarin then chihuahua? xD)

“This is the PV I had the most workouts.. orz” rofl.

My Wish My Love

PV has totally different feeling with the massive dress and sephia-toned forest..

Feels a bit weird seeing a sweet, loving Yukarin. I prefer her naughty look. xD

Massive hime-sama clothings need 3 assistants just to walk..

Cold weather = warming each other.. /wants.

According to Yukarin: “The warning says, if a thunder hits, snow will fall, this will go BANG!!” ^^;;;

Oshiete A to Z

Fave PV everrr~~ Yukarin changed clothes like 5-6 times lol.

Spraying water to camera, so Yukarin.

Can I have one of this too in my kitchen?

It’s like taking care of a kid.. messy eating, foods dropping, “It dropped!! I wanted to eat thaaat~~” ^^;;

No idea what this dance was for, but well ┌|≧∇≦|┘

Kid’s being curious?

That’s the maximum Yukarin can go…. ^^;

LOVE ME NOW

Recorded during the latest Fanclub Event in May this year, ala Nana’s Miracle Flight. All Kingdom citizens got a pompom and danced together!! Wish I were there.

Yukarin playing with a camera that kept following her every movement.

lmao sew naughty~ the poor dancer didn’t see it coming!

Oshiri punchhh~~ nice panty flash, himesama! :3

Paris de Yukarin
Footage during Yukarin’s visit to France to promote Nanoha movie couple of months ago.

Yukarin dancing with random French oji-san.

Yukarin… Eiffel Tower… Glad this has nothing to do with the autograph event. xD

Confusing Mailot (station name) and Metro (subway). ^^;

So are all French people THAT tall?

“Is there any flea market around here?”
No idea if her French was correct or not lol.

Merooooo~~~n!! to the melon seller. Yukari Kingdom expanding!

“Help!!” …..?? ^^;

The DVD itself is enough reson to buy the album. For the first time CDJapan offered a pretty nice tokuten even to international buyers.. it’s running low so secure your copy nau~! ／(・ x ・)＼
