This may have already been posted here, but for those of you who have not heard.....

Erika's Uncle was Masahide Sakuma, leader of the punk band The Plastics, and producer of such bands
as Glay (a favorite of Erika) and Judy and Mary (remember how she played a Judy and Mary song on the Piano
Competition Show?)

Before passing from Cancer he recorded a song, and asked Erika to provide piano and vocals.

Here is the song "Last Days" with thanks to Victor Entertainment and
in memory of Sakuma san.

Nogizaka46's Ikuta Erika to release her first photo book
December 7, 2015

Nogizaka46's Ikuta Erika will release her first photo book "Tenchou" on January 21st.

The photos were shot in Düsseldorf, Germany, where Ikuta was born. This marked her first time returning to Germany since she moved to Japan at the age of 5. It turned out to be a memorable photo session as she got to visit her home and places she used to play when she was a child. In addition, Ikuta poses in a swimsuit for the first time in this photo book.

"I visited Germany for the first time in 13 years and fell in love with it. It made me proud to think that I was born and raised there. I hope you will take a look at it as if you went back home with me," she said.

Wonder if Erika chan was allowed to
attend this concert? After all, though she would
have been pretty young, her late uncle, Masahide Sakuma,
did work with GLAY....

When you listen to the live performance, and notice the crowd,
It's easy to see why Erika would sing
'I don't know how to love, don't ask me why'




Now play this loud, with good speakers or earphones:

GLAY 博多ライブ 誘惑

- http://akb48-daily.blogspot.ca/2016/01/ikuta-erikas-1st-gravure-tencho-sold-out.html


If the wota can no longer find them in local stores, chances are online supplies are probably going to start getting depleted soon.

Tencho (転調) means changing key (in music), something well worth knowing..



Also happy belated birthday
