Some Changes

So as I have been painfully late with pretty much all my LIVE FLIGHT reports, I thought I'd spare a few words to explain what I have been up to in the past few months. Thus, here are some mention worthy things from the ridiculously busy life I have been leading recently:

Wednesday 24 December 2014

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT+ 2014, Air 15 at Singapore!

Air 15 at Singapore, Shuppaatsuuuu~!
So... I am so ridiculously late with this that even the BD/DVD has nearly come out. I am very sorry about this. But on the bright side, I managed to finish this in time for Xmas! ... If that's a bright side? Ehum, anyway... the reason for this horrible delay is that my life has been one busy mess for the past few months for various reasons. I will probably write a little informative entry about that some time soon. In any case, I am still around and writing. :3

Well, I won't blab on any longer... though I guess it's good to mention that this was my first time in Singapore ever. (^^;) Anyway, without further ado....

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014, Air 14 at Kanagawa!

Air 14 at Yokohama, Shuppaatsuuuu~!
So... I know I said I would dish this out much faster than my previous live report, but four weeks ago I hurt my hand really badly (by squashing it between a wall and a door in full swing)... which resulted in me not being able to type much for a couple of weeks without it hurting like crazy. Still hurts when my hand is squeezed. orz After that ordeal, I had graduation to deal with, and a certain trip to Singapore.. but in any case, without further ado - here's the Yokohama report! Look forward to the Singapore one soon (for realz)!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014, Air 5 at Kitakyushu!

Air 5 at Kitakyushu, shuppaaaatsuuuu~!
So... I realize I am very very very very late with this report. In my defense, I had a final thesis presentation and final thesis hand-in to deal with July/early August so those things kinda sucked away all my time and energy... sucked away my whole life actually.... "orz I guess the effort was worth it though since I was one of the only few people who passed on first try without revisions! Go me! I am back now revitalized.... alive & kicking, to be more in Nana terms! Thus without further ado, here is the report for the fateful concert that brought Nana's bad laryngitis along. (>_<;) I will try to write about Yokohama asap too!

Two More LIVE FLIGHT Cancellations, Air 7 at Yamaguchi and Air 8 at Tottori

This coming weekend's concerts have now also been cancelled.

Nana's inflammation is more serious than initially thought (not just vocal cord inflammation, but also upper respiratory tract inflammation), and thus she has not been able to recover yet. While it is a shame that the amount of cancelled concerts has now tripled, I am very relieved to see her focusing on recovering properly before setting back onto the stage. If she went back to performing when still feeling below 100%, I am sure that would not have led to anything good. I just hope she won't blame herself too much for this, because all those sad feelings will only hinder her recovery.. It's not your fault Nana!! I am glad to see from her blog entries this week though, that she as a lot of people supporting her and helping her recover. And thus, hopefully by Yamagata she will feel like her old genki self again.

**CANCELLED** NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014, Air 6 at Fukuoka

Nana's concert for today got cancelled.

It was due to Nana getting a bad case of laryngitis last night after the first concert here in Kitakyushu. I did feel last night that there was something off with her, and during Appassionato her voice was even about to crack really badly but she fixed it in the midst of it. After that her singing seemed to require more effort and during the final song, DISCOTHEQUE, her voice was almost cracking again. I didn't trust my observations though (since who I am to claim I know Nana well enough to tell) and didn't think much of it… but now it is clear that something indeed was wrong. orz

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014, Air 1 at Yamanashi!

Air 1 at Yamanashi, Shuppaaatsu~~!
So... I tried my best to dish out this report asap after the concert, since I figured if I just leave it then I won't be able to get it out before I am done with my thesis.. though, kinda funny taking a break from writing my thesis... only to write something else lol. orz Anyways, enjoy! Time for LIVE FLIGHT 2014 Air 1!

GUILTY -Translation-

So, I was planning to dish out translations pretty quick one after another but.... I've been too busy being at war with my thesis and doing this every day (multiple times):


Moouuu.... yada....

I finally decided to give my brain a small break to bring GUILTY to you all. I read from a Nana magazine interview recently that she asked SAYURI for "誘惑しまくり、フェロモ飛ばしまくりのお嬢様が出てくる歌詞を", which basically means "Lyrics where you could imagine a classy lady spreading tons of pheromones indiscriminately and seducing everyone in sight" and thus GUILTY was born.... but if you ask for my opinion, it sounds more like a dirty sex game to me. xDDD I am gonna cry very bitter tears if Nana doesn't sing this in LIVE FLIGHT. I need it.

Nana Handshake Event @ Nagoya

So I think now that I've had a week to cool down, I can finally write about meeting Nana without squirming too much in my chair. Maybe.

I still can't believe that I actually got to attend this, it already feels like a dream. I really can't thank all the people who helped me get there enough. Thank you so much, I wouldn't have had any chance without you. m(_ _)m I had a bit of a timing problem with this too, since it was kinda clashing with a trip I had to make to Finland last week. Because of that, there was no way I could attend the event in Tokyo, but I am glad I decided to try for Nagoya even though I had never been there before. So, it was a day of many firsts for me - first time on a night bus, first time in Nagoya and first time coming face-to-face with Nana.

FATE -Translation-


 Well, since I am still kinda in too shock about getting to meet Nana last weekend to write about it (I'll get a move on today or tomorrow orz), I'll release the translation of FATE in the meanwhile. I got the privilege to hear her sing it live last weekend too, so I was in the mood to do some translating right after. I think it is one of the most beautiful Nana love songs to date and every time I listen to it, it makes emotions bubble up from somewhere deep inside me. Thank you Nana for writing this song~

As usual, thank you @DarkSoul4242 for checking.

Thoughts on SUPERNAL LIBERTY


Well I have had a couple of people asking me to write about my thoughts on SUPERNAL LIBERTY, soooo... here you go. Though since I don't have that much time in my hands, I'll keep it briefer than I normally would... or so I thought, but I guess I ended up typing a lot after all. Also, I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to answer many comments on my previous posts... I will eventually.. I hope. "orz

水樹奈々 YouTube Official Channel

Well, I am super busy these days but I thought I would take a moment to celebrate this new milestone in Nana's career - the other day her [official YouTube channel] was born! And not only that, it is also viewable everywhere in the world! So this new step goes beyond of her starting her conquest of social media as it also seems to be yet another step in conquering the world as well. She is inching forward little by little~

I am not sure if it was on purpose, but Appassionato was perhaps the best song to kick off the new Youtube channel with.

Thoughts on 笑顔の行方 and Fun Fun★People


Now that I got both WINTER FESTA reports out of the way, I thought I'd still write about something before I have to disappear for an unknown period of time again because of school. Thus, I will ramble on a little about the two songs we've got to hear recently~ I'll start the entry off with a picture from the Dreams Come True 25th Anniversary Best Covers album.

NANA WINTER FESTA 2014 on 1月19日

NANA WINTER FESTA 2014 second day, hajimarimasu~!
So, back to my usual way of starting a report entry.... I am really really sorry about how late I am with this. "orz I had all the intention to be done with it right after writing about the first night..... but then school hit me, and hard. For over a month I was constantly working on a really important demo for my project group and my thesis, so I really had no time or energy to spare for this. My apologies. But in case you are interested, all that hard work did pay off and my demo was a huge success! I couldn't be happier... but I am really worn out now. But anyways, enjoy the report now that it is finally here!

NANA WINTER FESTA 2014 on 1月18日

NANA WINTER FESTA 2014 First day hajimarimasu~~!
Firstly, I would like to start this entry by saying thank you very much for the people who helped me get to attend NANA WINTER FESTA 2014 by giving me their lottery numbers from Nana Clips 6. I would not have been able to go without you. m(_ _)m I am deeply grateful. I was actually even super lucky, and managed to win a ticket for both days... so instead of one report, you get two! Again this time I ganbatta really hard to get this done for Nana's Birthday and can happily present you with the first report right after the NANA WINTER FESTA 2014 weekend. (T^T) So proud of myself. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!! Now without further ado.... let the first report begin~!
