Come in the 2nd Shoko Nakagawa thread with the Flying Humanoid

[Yoake]

Shokotan with long hair is back!!



She changed her haircut so fast. I hoped that she would keep her short hair at least during all the summer. She was really cute with it.

[RayJason]

I like her hair long!

btw, I upped all of shoko's discography on MF should I start a MF Discography thread?

[Yoake]

I think you can create a discogrpahy thread. It could be a good way for people to know her.

Kera scans:

She has a new kitty:

I upped ペガサス幻想 ver. Ω, though wrongly tagged. I tagged the artist as 中川翔子 instead of MAKE-UP feat. 中川翔子. The reason why is because there are so much possibilities to tag the songs wrong:

Shoko Nakagawa ft. MAKE-UP
中川翔子 feat. MAKE-UP
ＭＡＫＥ－ＵＰ feat. 中川翔子
MAKE-UP feat. Shoko Nakagawa

And the list goes on... lol

10 Cats??! OK.... Kinda weird tbh. I really hope that her mini-album charts high in the charts tho! She gained a lot of attention with her BEST albums so there might be a possibility that she'll score high again .

[RayJason]

I really hope her mini-album will have good sale too. It's great that she'll attend at FNS. Can't wait to see it!!

Here is an article about her last concert in Hong Kong: http://www.anisong.org/2012/07/16/12824

I can't translate it but we have nice pics & the tracklist!

A Bullying Scandal in school came out 3 days ago. Shokotan wrote on her blog about this horrible news item. Here is the translation of gizakawayusu@tumblr

Bullying

2012-07-17 12:50:06

Prime minister Noda made a comment about the [Otsu] bullying scandal. I want the circumstances of that exceptional situation to be investigated and reported quickly.

Villainous concealment and excuses, I wish things like that would rapidly disappear from this world… I want [those who are responsible] to feel ashamed for not hearing the student’s voice, for saying “there was no bullying, it was just fooling around”.

In the end, the dead cannot speak in their own defense. Only assailant’s rights are given priority even though the victim’s rights were violated to the point of losing life, and the injured party will remember this for a life time.

Bullying is a problem with a lot of unspeakable circumstances that [school] tries to hide, and I want it to be investigated thoroughly so that the unvarnished truth will be revealed.

If those child offenders can get away with “we just wanted to fool around”, then other crimes of this world like assault, blackmail et cetera can be justified as well. Driving someone into a corner, making him lose his life, carrying [this crime] on their shoulders for life is not enough.
If they say “it was a game”, I want to tell them “try going through the same thing”. If the scandal did not went public, this incident might have been buried in the dark, and it is only tip of the iceberg, as they are many more lives lost due to bullying incidents that were not disclosed.

It is too late, all in all. The life was lost so it is too late.

If the teachers and the school can not deal with things honestly, the school becomes everything for the students. But it is not.

Even in this time and age there are still many people who continue to suffer, not being able to tell anyone.

But I just want them not to choose to die because of those bullies.
Because there definitely will be so many, many things worth living for in the future.
Because a very happy future is waiting for you, much happier than the life of those foolish bullies…

Suppressing of the facts cannot be forgiven
Reveal the unvarnished truth

And then there is the weight of causing someone to lose his life.

What a strong message! She made many good points and I love how she dares to speak up. Like how childs can get away with so much, it's not fair. And bullying is something neither Shoko neither I stand for so we have that in common. I remember her elaborating about her being bullied by two guys and her grandma stepped in. It was a cute story XD.

But this is a different case, it's so frightening and depressing that there are still kids like these ones in school... You're supposed to make friends and graduate from school not traumatize or force your classmates to commit suicide. Where is the temptation to do such things coming from actually?

Nevertheless, I hope the guys get their punishment as adults.

[Yoake]

I totally agree with you. Youngs should understand that all lifes are precious.
I think the worst is when the teachers & school try to hush up scandal to keep the school's reputation.

Finally the name of Shokotan new cat has been chosen. It's ショコラ (Chocolat). Apparently, it's the outcome of a poll.

So cute!!!

[Yoake]

Here is the GAME song rip. It's a pop-rock song.

I totally love it.
