*~~Shirenu's Happy 1st Anniversary Post~~*On April 16th it has been a year since I saw a dream. The dream said: "Love Nacchi." I said: "K." Today is the day to look back on Nacchi's and my year - mine as a fan and Nacchi's as an idol. And what a year has it been!
Sorry if some things aren't in time order. I've always had problems with memory. Ehhehe.
The BeginningI can't remember exactly what was going on in the Nacchi world when I became a fan. But pretty soon after that Koinu no waltz (the drama which Nacchi starred in) started airing and her performance truly touched my heart (= she was so cute and beautiful omg. What storyline? Who cares about storylines?). The theme song of the drama was her next single: Datte ikite kanakucha. I was very excited about this release and it was the first H!P product I bought. Hell, it was the first Japanese product I bought! This was a great time to decide that Nacchi was going to be my baybeh. Seemed like she was doing lots of stuff all the time, it was great and fun. Oh, and that third pic is from the making of article for some CM I've never managed to see. Rofl.
Still A N00bI said Nacchi had lots of things going on. Well, besides her drama and music stuff she hosted Hello!Morning every week as well as Zeruma (I miss that show!). I never got tired of seeing Nacchi's wtf expression and general silliness! The pic on the far left is from her Memorial DVD, I believe. I can't remember why I put it here. Haha.
Endless SummerIt was time for Nacchi to release a third single. The song that everybody and their moms hate, except me. Haha. I thought Koi no telephone GOAL supported her AcchiKocchiNacchi character at Zeruma well, since it was her image at that time to be a silly girl running around. Nacchi performed the song at W's graduation tour. And then... Nochiura natsumi.
. A lot of people were probably disappointed of this group, but it brought lots of fun and hotness to me, so I'm not complaining. Exciting times indeed!
Never Shutting Up Babe, NoLater in 2004 Nacchi's first concert tour DVD came out. It was thrilling to see only Nacchi on-stage for most of the time, even if the setlist was boring (too many MM covers) and some of the outfits were terrible (what's up with the red dress??). But she did well and I was very happy to see Toumorokoshi to kara to kaze, my favourite Nacchi song, performed. H!P Sports Festivals were also drawing near and the H!P All Stars single was about to get released. Nacchi made it to the first festival and some H!P performances, but then...
DARKNESS.Nacchi got caught and punished for plagiarism. Feelings of disappointment, fear and sadness. Two months without Nacchi's presence in the media. Two months of worrying if she was ever going to come back. There were times when I cried because I so badly just wanted Nacchi to come back. It was horrible. What a hard time. And then one day, there she was...
Back. Suddenly the world made sense again, birds started singing, the sun shined down on me, there were things to look forward to! Nacchi was so apologetic announcing her comeback while I was crying the tears of happiness!
And she was back in great shape! Cuter, hotter and as adorable as ever! She got back to Enta! Mitamongachi and some weeks ago also Hello!Morning.
We've even found out she didn't spend her punishment time lying depressed on a sofa eating cookies, but instead did something that is worth releasing a DVD about! I am as happy as a bunny and very excited about Nacchi's future.
In Sum:Nacchi has brought infinite amounts of happiness and joy in my life during this first nacchishirenulove year. We've laughed together, we've cried together. This year could have sucked very much, but it didn't and I owe a lot to Nacchi for making me smile and keeping up my interest in the future and what happens tomorrow! THANK YOU, NACCHI! I LOVE YOU!!
Much Love:Shirenu
