This Week, in Digest News...
Lots of Hello! Project! Nakanishi Kana solo DVD Digest! YATTA!!! JOIN! The AKB48 and Red Cross Japan Campaign! Perfume's next album release date revealed! Babyraids' new single has been pushed back!? Up Up Girls become Samurai's! And more! Are you ready to Digest?
This weeks Digest is late... very late, as you can probably tell. It is because I went to another county to spend time with my friends, and I had a break from the Idol world for about four days... It was actually very relaxing, and I was so happy to be back with my best friends! However, I missed you guys as well, and I felt bad on Tuesday when I didn't post the Digest! I have done the Digest from up to Wednesday today, and will include the rest of the News from Wednesday until next week in Next Weeks Digest. So, yeah!
Hopefully everyone has had a good week as well, and taken a break from anything they have been doing a lot of! Whilst I love blogging, it was nice to sit back for a few days and relax, and not have to focus on anything. I am still tired from my journey home (I returned home at 12am and woke up early (for me) the next day to do something... urgh) but I knew the Digest needed to be up, so everyone, here it is!
Also... I will now be posting the Digest on Wednesdays! This is so that I can align my Digests with the Hello! Pro Station episodes, so hopefully they won't be a week late any more! Sorry for the bother, everyone! Also, have a wonderful week ahead! :D
... There is a lot of news this week, by the way. Or at least there is to me! XD

Video of the Week
I Can Go the Distance from Herculese, by Michael Bolton
Surprisingly enough, my Video of the Week is not of a Japanese song or group, but instead a song from a Disney movie. I have decided, with my friends, that this is my 'Journey to Somerset' song. I love this song, it is one of my favourite songs from Herculese, and probably one of my all-time favourite Disney songs (along with Beauty and the Beast, A Whole New World and a few others). I just love this song! It is so hopeful and positive, and great to listen to. I also love dorky little Herc, so cute! It really does make me think of how hard you work towards a journey, and how far we can go ourselves if we really want to get to that place where we know we belong, and where we will be successful, or where we will be happy.
It's a great song, and I love it. I hope you all enjoy!

It has been announced that both LoVendoЯ and Up Up Girls will perform at the 2013 Japan Popculture Carnival in Matsudo on November 4th.
Comments;
I would say that two acts with talent were going to this event, but then I remembered that Tanaka Reina still sings like she can't.
Japan Popculture Carnival
Some fans must be annoyed and pissed off by this news, but really, I am happier that Matsuura Aya married a man who she has been dating, privately, for 12 years and knows so well, as opposed to getting knocked up and marrying that guy who knocked her up from a silly one night thing. I respect what she has done here, and I hope for both her and Tachibana's happiness. They deserve it, and they have been together long enough to want to finally marry. So, congratulations, Tachibana Keita and Matsuura Aya!

Until now, I've spent every day feeling happy, but from now on, I hope to make a new happiness by becoming family and making a home together."

The campain theme has been revealed to be Join! The Red Cross are waiting for your Strength!.

It has been announced that Maeda Atsuko's new solo song, titled Time Machine Nante Iranai, has been chosen as the theme song for the drama Yamada-kun to 7-nin to Majo.
"It'll be my first solo single in about a year, but it turned out to be a happy song that's easy to get into! It's a cheerful and fun song, so I think everyone will enjoy it."
"Since it will be used as the drama's theme song, I hope that it will help liven it up." - Maeda Atsuko (Tokyohive)
The single will release on September 18th.
Comments:
As long as Maeda doesn't attempt to act, then we will be okay. Also, a happy song that is easy to get into? That means generic and crap, doesn't it? Also, liven what up? The song or the drama? Because dear, it will be the song that needs livening up (haha).
AKB48
It has been announced that Watanabe Mayu will provide that Japanese voice dub for the role of Annabeth for the up-coming American movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. The film will open in theatres in Japan on November 1st.
Mayu commented:
"I will play my role to the best of my ability so that I won't bring shame onto its name." - (Tokyohive)Comments:
No offense to Mayu or her fans, but isn't Annabeth a pretty cool character, who is stubborn too? I don't see Mayu fitting the role at all from what I remember of Annabeth, but whatever, it isn't me casting her...
I don't think she will do the role much justice, though Mayu can surprise me.
