~I'll Turn My Courage Into Wings~

Extremely short preview, not enough to get a good impression. But it's better than nothing. ;D [random]Yeah, the Nanoha series is awesome. :3[/random]

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Episode 8 CM - Silent Bible at 00:46

-------

And then there's approximately 5 seconds of PHANTOM MINDS here (thanks raizoo).
...But...uh... I was actually more swept away by JAM Project's:
You can fly! (Yeah!) We can fly! (Yeah!) MOTTO MOTTO!

SKILL is a really cool song in my opinion.

And I continue to spam with more Mizuki Nana-related Kouhaku stuff!

First... Here's my translation of Nana-san's blog post on November 23rd

( November 23rd - Blog post translation - The Dream I Saw that Day )

-------
And here is a little from Asahi News:

　紅組の水樹奈々　「連絡を聞いてあまりの衝撃に頭が真っ白になりました。小さい頃から歌手を目指していた私にとって、紅白のステージは夢の場所。その場所に立てるなんて……本当に幸せで涙が止まりません。魂込めて全力全開で歌います！！」

Mizuki Nana of the Red Team: When I received the notification, it was such a shock that my mind went blank. As someone who aimed to become a singer at a young age, Kohaku is my dream stage. To think I am able to stand at that place… I felt so happy, my tears wouldn’t stop. I will sing with my all!!

------
CONGRATULATIONS NANA-SAN!!!

全力全開! XD

Translation of what Nana-san said:
Nana: Since very young, I have always loved to sing. My parents had set up a small school (classroom) for people to learn how to sing, and actually, at that time, I sang enka. Kohaku had always been a show where my family would gather and watch together every year. To me, Kohaku is my dream stage and ultimate goal. To be able to stand there, I feel very happy. I will give it my all and give a powerful performance.

-------
Again, congratulations to Nana-san!
I still laugh whenever she says the phrase 全力全開 (zenryoku zenkai)! It's not a Nanoha-series specific phrase (even though that is usually what MSLN fans immediately think of), but I have to wonder... Did she use that phrase as often BEFORE coming into contact with the Lyrical Nanoha series or was she influenced by Nanoha? XDD

Need to run to do a bit of work, but will be back to dig up more info later!

Currently at school so I'll put a link to the YouTube video (one sentence mention only but that's more than enough :D) and screencap the singers' list for the Red Team when I get home (which won't be until another 6 to 7 hours... OTL)

But yes, NANA-SAN IS APPEARING ON KOHAKU THIS YEAR!!! :D

...And yes, it is also posted on ANN but details are sketchy in my opinion.

CONGRATULATIONS NANA-SAN!!! \(^0^)/

And thanks to raizoo and lavendettadulce for the notification. :D

With regards to the blog entry Nana-san made yesterday... WHOA!? You mean to tell me she COSPLAYED as Fate (and Ogata Rina) at the S.C. NANA NET FC EVENT!?!?!?! GIVE ME THE DVD WITH THE NEXT ALBUM PLEASE!

Anyway...

水樹奈々 スマイルギャング第399回【デジラジ音源】

As speculated, the major announcement was about her 22nd single. Other than that, nothing big happened on Smile-Gang this week. She spoke about Producer Mishima's wedding (about who he married, how Nana-san hopes that he and his wife will lead a life of happiness because she owes them both a lot, and stuff like that). Of course, she sang at his wedding. XD

-------
The official website has updated with more information with regards to her next two singles.

( Song list so far for the 21st & 22nd single )

Both the lyrics to PHANTOM MINDS and Silent Bible will be written by Mizuki Nana (thus upholding the tradition that all lyrics to Lyrical Nanoha opening themes are written and sung by Nana-san herself).

-------
And now I leave everyone with a very cute image of Nanoha and Fate figurines. XD

Thanks to an anonymous commenter raizoo for the heads up!

Anyway, this is SERIOUSLY NEWS!

And yeah, this is very likely to be the "major announcement" Nana-san is to talk about on the next Smile-Gang.

NANA MIZUKI
22nd SINGLE
To be released on February 10, 2010!


^Links to the Super Robo Taisen OG website

A total of 4 songs will be on the single.

Confirmed are:
1. Silent Bible (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Battle of ACES opening Theme)
2. UNCHAIN∞WORLD (Mugen no Frontier Super Robo Taisen OG opening Theme)

What is up with this rate of singles release?
Not that I'm complaining. XD ...Except my wallet is... ;_;
But anyway, YAY FOR NANA-SAN WRITING THE LYRICS TO SILENT BIBLE!!! :D

水樹奈々のＭの世界 #021 （2009,11,20） ゲスト：HIMEKA

I'll be honest. I did not know about HIMEKA until MUSIC JAPAN ANISON SP1. Yes, I fail as a Canadian. XDD But ever since listening to her live on MJSP1, I've started to pay a bit more attention.

Anyway, she was guest on this week's Mizuki Nana World of M. For those who don't know (did not watch MJSP1), HIMEKA is a huge Mizuki Nana fan. Nana-san revealed that they first met at the recording of MJSP1, and HIMEKA had come up to her, crying, and asked for her autograph (and she was holding a copy of ULTIMATE DIAMOND). XDD;;

( And apparently, Nana-san and HIMEKA share many things in common... )

a-fanfan11 水樹奈々のPOWER GATE第96回（09年11月）

^This is 73:21 long program. Let me say that my attention for listening to one thing at a time is 30 minutes MAX. And I listened to this program 3 days ago. Honestly, I can't remember what happened. I don't have to time to re-listen to this either.
BUT, what I DO remember is that... HIMEKA left a voice message here (she even asked Nana-san if she would be willing to be friends with her XD). Because of this voice message, Nana-san spoke quite a bit about HIMEKA.

What did Nana-san say?

Apparently... HIMEKA made her own t-shirt that said I LOVE NANA MIZUKI - MY GOD(DESS).
...You know, that takes dedication. ^^;; I'd buy a shirt that says that, but I wouldn't actually make one myself. XDD;; I guess that means I fail as a Nana fan too... ^^;;

---
That's all for now. Nana-san said on last week's Smile-Gang that she has some major special news to announce on the next broadcast... I guess we will find out what this "major announcement" is in 2 days. :3
