Thanks sville. That certainly explains it. Maybe Mikitty missed the plane :-)

The remaining Hawaiians Matsus (complete now I believe)

What I saw while going through Kinokuniya's movies area:

[atstrbcks]

Argh. I still gotta get my own copy

Can't wait for Double Rainbow

[Mattthecat]

Nice find, Rox :-)

Some caps from the new Meringue (sorry but it got out of hand. Lol. Even more in the torrent decription - including one with next week's guest....)

Umm Matt, she looks like she might be reverting. You should probably have another talk with her.

[Mattthecat]

and looking forward to next week:

Yeah, but look at the last cap from next week - probably because of that dorky guest...

[Nights4Saturn]

Oh no!! Fumi and Matt need to go to the rescue ASAP!!!

Wow, that dorky quest should make for an interesting show...

The Rainbow cover en large: An Aya memo pad. Nice idea, but how could you write on Aya's face?
Some images:

[Alienpyon]

The Rainbow cover

This cover is totally Hawaii style (and it has been rather photoshopped, too)!

I like the pad cover colours quite a lot, though, and I adore the cap! Since when is Ayaya wearing a crucifix?!

And a final (?) one from the Hawaii sets:

That's not just a crucifix, that's a stylized rosary. I wonder if that was a planned image? Seems to be more jewlery than symbol to me, but who knows?
Matt, has Aya ever spoke about her religious beliefs before?

[Mattthecat]

Not while we were doing her nails

But I was just going to ask the same question :-)

[FumikoH]

I know this is unusual but truth: in Japan sometimes western items like cross or heart become popular for decorative, although no one knows symbolic meaning. Probably Matsuura is not Christian person, almost no one in Japan is this religion, but cross is popular jewelry also worn by other H!P members if you will notice.

[mnuguyen]

Yeah, crosses (and recently rosaries) have been a popular fashion accessory and I highly doubt everyone who wears it is of the Christian faith... and being a Catholic myself I find this a little inappropriate, but I don't mind it.
Even some song titles and/or lyrics refer to Christian figures like Maria (Virgin Mary) or Jesus.

Aya looks great in those pictures, Mattthecat. And that last GAM picture is so cute!

[Mattthecat]

in which case here it is even bigger:


And mnuguyen is right, wearing crucifixes for decorative reasons only is popular even in mainly Christian countries.

[FumikoH]

in which case here it is even bigger...

Last year...


...and this year:


...but we try our best! we don't give up!

[atstrbcks]

Lol. Ganbatte Aya!

I really do love that picture. They're so cute

[Mattthecat]

Somehow reminds me of the Eskimos rubbing noses...
Very funny, Fumi Though I hope Aya doesn't plan on becoming the bearded lady at the carnvial sideshow should her single sales refuse to go up....

Here's a brand new one:

[Alienpyon]

@ Mattthecat: Where on earth do you get all those pictures from??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even some song titles and/or lyrics refer to Christian figures like Maria (Virgin Mary) or Jesus.

AKB48, ehh?!
