Quu ingin bercerita tentang keluarga ku, yang terdiri dari :
1. Papa ( SuperHero)
Papa adalah kepala keluarga di Sumardi Family's . Beliau adalah seorang yang sangat rajin dan pintar

Papa selalu mengajarkan kami menjadi anak yang mandiri. Papa selalu bilang "belajarlah dari orang laen

dan ambi ilmu nya untuk masa depan mu sendiri, carilah ilmu itu sebanyak-banyaknya agar kamu banyak

skill di setiap kebisaan mu" . kami selalu belajar dari cara kehidupan papa. kami selalu belajar dari setiap

gerak gerik papa.papa juga selalu bilang ... "bila ada orang yang merugikan diri kita. ya sudah lupakan lah

mungkin itu belum rezeki kita " .. papa juga selalu bilang . Papa ku tadinya kerja di PT. PLN (PERSERO)

WS2JB Palembang, sebagai SUPERVISOR Informasi System Tecnology . walau hanya tamatan STM

tapi ilmunya sungguh biasa sekali. terus ada lagi kata papa " bila kamu dikasih JOB , maka terima lah dulu

job itu, untuk urusan bisa dan tidak bisa itu urusan belakangan" karena apa. Disitu lah kita berpikir realistik

untuk mengahlikan skill yang kita miliki. kalau tidak bisa , kita bertanya sama orang yang bisa "

2. Mama (SuperWoman)

Mama adalah Istri Papa. kerjanya sebagai IBu Rumah Tangga, mama selalu memberikan banyak waktunya

untuk anak-anaknya. tugas mama hanya : mengurusi anak dan rumah tangga. setiap hari selalu menyiapkan

makanan untuk sarapan pagi, siang dan malam. setiap hari selalu memberikan curahan kasih sayang kepada

suami dan anak-anaknya. mama selalu bilang " jadilah dirimu sendiri, tidak perlu jadi diri orang laen" .

Mama selalu bilang juga " jagalah keluarga mu dari segala hal yang merugikan dari orang laen" . Jadilah

orang sukses untuk masa depan kalian sendiri. mama selalu menjadi tempat curhat kita anak-anaknya.

3. Ayukku (Via)

sesuatu yang orang suruh. dibilang pendiam ga juga banyakan humorisnya, di bilang pintar .. standarlah di

atas rata-rata .. dibilang g bisa teori secara praktek ku bisa kuasai (**maklum lebih ke visual**) ku anak

karena dgn itu semua bisa memberi mu masa depan yang bagusss ... apalagi kalo kita banyak hal yang bisa

Tulisan ku akan Curhatku

2011-07-21T13:23:00.000+07:00

Tulisan ku tertanggal 21 Juli 2011

aku tidak menyangka kehidupan ku yang dulu nya penuh keceriaan dan kehebohan. sekarang semenjak dari kepergian seorang Super Hero. sesosok tubuh yang berdiri tegak di hadapanku selama 22 tahun 11 bulan 5 hari. yang kala itu umurku bentar lagi memasuki umur 23 tahun. semua itu sirna dalam hitungan sekejab di dpn mataku ketika ku melihat semua kejadian itu, Sungguh ku bingung dan terus bingung apa yang akan ku harus ku hadapi saat ini hingga kedepannya.

ku tahu, ku adalah manusia lemah yang ku sendiri kadang kala tidak bisa apa-apa. ku jalani hari-hari itu seperti antara kaki dan tanah itu rasa ingin melayang. banyak sekali lika liku yang ku hadapi di bumi ini, banyak sekali cerita-cerita yang ku tidak mengerti apa yang terjadi hingga saat ini. ku hanya berjalan saja, tanpa melihat ke belakang apa yang terjadi sebelumnya. ku tidak tahu lagi apa itu tujuan sebenarnya dalam hidupku.

Saat ini ku hanya berjalan begitu air yang mengalir saja. tujuan yang dulu ku cita-cita kan telah hilang dan sirna dalam hitungan jam kala itu pada kejadian 3 Juni 2009 jam 11:15 pm . cita-cita yang kala itu aku ingin sekali pergi dan kerja di Jepang. dengan mengumpulkan uang sebanyak-banyaknya untuk menolong PAPA ku agar bisa kembali senyum seperti dulu lagi. keinginan itu yang ita kerja waktu dikala papa sudah mengalami sakit selama 4 tahun itu. Tapi semua impian itu selah sirna. PAPA dah tenang di alam sana bersama ALLOH swt terkasih. Ya ALLOH, tolong jaga papa kami ya ? "" hanya doa itulah yang selalu ku panjatkan untuk papa kami. Jaga dan beri ketenangan dalam kuburnya ?"" ya ALLOH, masukkan papa kami dalam Syurga mu yang begitu hitmah. kabulkan doa ku ya ALLOH.

sekarang usiaku dah menginjak 24 tahun. ku jalani kehidupan ini dengan penuh senyuman yang walau dalam bathin dan jiwa ku masih terombang-ambing. walau ku telah menikah, tapi tetap di dalam hati ku "PAPA" tetap menjadi superHERO ku dalam hidup dan keluarga kami.

tidak terasa Ramadhan sebentar lagi memasuki kehidupan kami, ramadhan yang 1 tahun yang lalu bersama papa, kini telah tidak ada lagi dalam kehidupan kami. Ramadhan yang dulu nya kami makan sekeluarga kini tetap makan sekeluarga tapi tidak ku temukan sosok tegap itu di hadapan ku.

"Surat dari Ayah"

2011-07-21T12:22:00.001+07:00

Di awal perjalanan waktumu, di ujung lintasan hayatku, ingin kusampaikan kepadamu beberapa patah kata yang kuharapkan dapat menjadi azimat yang memberikan warna indah bagi hidupmu yang penuh keceriaan. Senang hatiku karena engkau selalu memperhatikan kata-kataku. Hal itu membuatku semakin bergairah untuk bercerita kepadamu tentang mutiara-mutiara kehidupan yang berhasil kukumpulkan disepanjang perjalananku. Kali ini izinkanlah aku bertutur tentang arti sahabat dan persahabatan.

Anakku, tidak ada seekor burungpun yang dapat terbang jauh apabila ia terbang sendirian. Begitu juga tak seorangpun dapat mencapai tujuan-tujuan besar dalam hidupnya apabila ia mencoba mencapainya seorang diri, atau apabila ia tidak mempunyai sahabat-sahabat disekelilingnya. Seorang sahabat adalah seseorang yang dengannya engkau berani menjadi dirimu sendiri, yang dengannya engkau berani berkata : "Inilah Aku" !

Sungguh seorang sahabat adalah bagian penting dari hidupmu. Orang bijak mengatakan bahwa seorang sahabat adalah dorongan ketika engkau berhenti, sepatah kata ketika engkau kesepian, petunjuk jalan ketika engkau tersesat, senyuman sabar ketika engkau berduka, juga lagu gembira ketika engkau merasa bahagia. Bahkan seorang sahabat adalah seseorang yang menghentikanmu ketika engkau meluncur jatuh. Seorang sahabat adalah orang yang siap mendengar ketika engkau ingin mengatakan sesuatu, seorang yang peduli dengan masalahmu , dan juga tempat engkau berbagi rasa ! Tentu senang hatiku jika engkau mempunyai shabat. Telah kulihat kebijakanmu sejak masa kecilmu Nak. Tentu tak sulit bagimu untuk memahami kata-kataku. Dan mengenai arti Persahabatan, Anakku, aku hanya ingin mengatakan bahwa Persahabatan adalah intan-berlian yang tak ternilai harganya. Tak dapat dijual, tak dapat dibeli, dan juga tak mungkin dipinjamkan, karena didalamnya terkandung kehendak untuk saling menghormati, saling mencintai, dan saling memberi !

Masih segar dalam ingatanku, tangisanmu yang nyaring ketika engkau hadir di dunia ini. Masih segar dalam pandanganku bagaimana kau repotkan ibumu dengan rasa hausmu akan kasih sayangnya. Aduhai Anakku, tahukah engkau betapa besar cinta kami kepadamu ? Sengaja kami pilihkan sebuah nama yang indah bagimu, Nak. Semoga indah pula masa depanmu !! Berbahagialah dengan apa yang ada pada dirimu, Nak ! Apa yang dianugerahi Tuhan kepadamu adalah apa yang terbaik bagimu ! Bersyukurlah dengan semua nikmat yang telah Ia berikan kepadamu, dan bersabarlah dengan ujian yang datang dari-Nya. Sesungguhnya Tuhan tidak menghendaki keburukan bagi kita. Sesungguhnya Ia Maha Bijaksana. Jadikanlah dirimu manusia yang berguna, agar tidak sia-sia Tuhan menciptakanmu. Bersungguh-sungguhlah dalam menempuh perjalanan hidupmu, karena dengan penuh kesungguhan pula Ia telah menciptakanmu.

Milikilah sebuah cita-cita yang luhur dan mulia karena ia merupakan penggerak jiwa yang luar biasa, tonikum yang menyegarkan seluruh sel-sel tubuhmu, serta pembakar semangat yang tak habis-habisnya ! Dan, dengan senantiasa memohon pertolongan-Nya, raihlah tujuan hidupmu dengan cara terhormat ! Sesungguhnya manusia yang tidak mempunyai tujuan dalam hidupnya adalah manusia yang juga tidak mempunyai masa depan, dan manusia yang menghalalkan segala cara untuk meraih harapan-harapannya adalah manusia yang menabung derita.

Ingatlah selalu bahwa Tuhan adalah Yang Terbaik untuk dicintai ( The Best to Love ). Bila kau dapatkan cinta-Nya maka telah kau miliki segala-galanya, karena Dia-lah Yang Maha Kaya. Sebaliknya mereka yang kehilangan cinta-Nya adalah orang-orang yang telah kehilangan segala-galanya. Berjuanglah dengan baiklah anakku, kucukupkan suratku sampai di sini, dengan harapan semoga engkau semakin arif, semakin bijaksana, dan semoga Tuhan Yang Maha Pengasih dan Maha Penyayang mencintaimu selalu.

Yang selalu berdo'a untukmu, Ayahmu..

akhirnya perjalanan pun selesai, kami kembali lagi ke palembang. setelah semuanya selesai. kami pun pergi ke ruang keluarga seperti biasa yang biasa kami lakukan di kehidupan sehari-hari, akhirnya ita menunjukkan 1 foto ketika papa koma, lalu papa pun melihatnya. sungguh terharu sekali, papa melihat foto itu, karena setelah itu papa berkata : " berarti papa merepotkan kalian selama papa koma", maafin papa ya ..
ita pun menjawab : "idak kok papa, kami senang akhirnya papa sehat kembali dan sekarang idak sakit lagi cak dulu.
kemudian papa menangis hingga tersegu-segu.dan kami pun menangis juga. ya Alloh sungguh bahagia sekali kalo itu nyata dan benar-benar terjadi. tapi itu tidak mungkin lagi, karena papa dah bersama Alloh SWT.
akhirnya kamipun berpelukkan... sambil menangis sesegu-segunya. bahagia sekali....

ita bahagia sekali kalo mimpi bertemu papa, dan selalu menginginkan mimpiin papa terus dan selama-lamanya.
makasih Alloh telah mengabulkan do'a hamba untuk bisa bertemu sama papa lagi.

Cerita ku untuk PAPA kami Tersayang ....... :)

2010-07-03T10:56:00.000+07:00

Awal cerita yang aku mulai ketika semua itu telah terjadi di hadapan ku sendiri yang melihatnya.

Threat 1
Awal pada tanggal 3 Juni 2010
Awal yang begitu hangat sekali ita mengingatnya, ,,, awal yang benar-benar yang ngak tahu lagi apa yang harus ita lakukan. Pada jam 5.30 am , pagi yang begitu pagi sekali aku mengingatnya. Tiba-tiba terdengar suara seperti orang yang kesakitan. Lalu ku tersentak mendengar itu dan langsung terbangun menuju tempat itu. Lalu ita berlari ke tempat arah suara itu, yang ita lihat, ada suara papa kami yang tiba-tiba merasakan sakit sangat. Lalu ita bingung apa yang harus ita lakukan disitu, lalu tanpa berpikir panjang, ita langsung keluar menuju rumah ayukku, meminta tolong. Lalu kami pun kembali ke kamar papa kami kala itu. Papa terus menjerit kesakitan , entah apa yang dirasakan kala itu. Pada saat itu papa memanggil kami satu-persatu yang pada saat ita dipanggil dengan kata-kata :
Papa : “ Ita jangan nyusahin papa”
Ita tersentak ketika mendengar itu, bener-bener di luar kepala ketika mendengar itu semua. Ita hanya diam seribu bahasa. Apa karena kejadian 2 hari sebelumnya ita idak tegur papa, karena ita merajuk (“biasa kayak anak kecil lah”) sama orang tua karena tidak mengantarkan adek ke sekolah. Lalu kemudian, papa langsung kami bawa ke RK. Charitas, dalam perjalanan itu entah apa yang terjadi. Karena ita menyusul setelah mengantar adek dan ponakan ke sekolah. Lalu ita langsung ngacir menuju rumah sakit itu, tanpa ganti baju dan mandi. Dan sampailah ita disana, sungguh terkejutnya ketika ita melihat papa yang semuanya telah dipasang dengan alat-alat rumah sakit itu. Itu pun ita langsung menangis ketika melihat papa seperti itu. Menangis yang benar-benar menyesal karena idak sempat bertegur sapa sama papa. Ita hanya diam seribu bahasa, dan terus memandangi papa di tempat tidur itu. Ita terus membisikkan di telingan papa dengan bacaan al-qur’an dan terus meminta maaf, atas kesalahan ita selama ini menjadi anaknya.

Threat 2
Hingga jam menunjukkan pukul 12.00 siang, waktu tuh ita tidak bisa sholat karena lagi halangan mendadak. Ita terus menangis di hadapan papa, ita terus bacakan surat Al-Fatihah di telinganya beliau, ita terus berzhikir di telinga papa. Hingga ita tidak tau lagi udah jam berapa. Tapi yang sangat menyedihkan sekali kala itu papa dipasangi selang di hidung sebelah kanannya, ketika selang itu masuk badan papa terhentak kuat sekali, mengatakan bahwa itu sakit sekali. Tapi papa tidak bisa ngomong, hanya badannya saja yang merespon. Akhirnya kami pun keluar dari tempat tidur papa, karena susternya mau memasang selang itu kembali ke hidungnya. Akhirnya selesai juga pemasangan selang di hidungnya. Ya Allah sungguh miris sekali ita melihat papa dengan kondisi seperti itu. Ya Allah, ya Allah, betapa sakitnya papa saat ini melihat dirinya seperti ini tidak berdaya sama sekali. Ita tidak tega banget melihatnya karena mengingat ita di kala kecil karena penyakit asma yang ita derita hingga saat ini. Ita lalu menangis dan terus menangis. Terus tidak terasa jam 2 siang. Lalu ita menanyakan kepada administrasinya, menanyakan
Ita : “Dokter Mangiringnya uda datang, kak ??
Kakak : belum datang, dek. Tadi dah dihubungi katanya lagi ada kerjaan.
Akhirnya ita pun terus melakukan aktifitas seperti biasanya, ita duduk disamping papa, terus mengusapi kening papa dengan handuk basah, biar kondisi panas papa turun. Selama jam itu ita terus mengucapkan kata maaf sama papa, hingga tangisan itu berlinang lagi di wajah ita. Mama dan ita bergantian menjaga papa. Akhirnya jam 5 sore. Tapi papa belum juga terbangun dari tidurnya. Akhirnya ayuk via datang dan menjaga papa. Kami pun bergantian menjaga papa, diluar sana ita terus menangis tanpa henti, sampe mama pun suka melihat ita menangis. Waktu pun tidak terasa hingga magrib pun tiba. Lalu ita berinisiatif untuk pulang sebentar karena belum mandi dari pagi, akhirnya ita minta ijin sebentar untuk pulang. Akhirnya ita pun pulang, dengan begitu cepatnya menggunakan motor karena ita dak mo ninggalin papa disana. Akhirnya sampai lah ita dirumah dengan serba terburu-buru, lalu ita pun menyelesaikan semuanya dan sholat magrib. Setelah sholat akhirnya ita menyiapkan perlengkapan sholat untuk sholat disana. Dan akhirnya ita tancap gas lagi dan dengan cepat ita sampai di RK. Charitas. Sampai disana, ita langsung jagain papa bersama ayukku dan mama pun istirahat dulu. Ita terus mengusapi kening papa dengan handuk basah biar panas badan papa redaan. tapi dak turun-turun. Lalu ita pun sekitar jam 8.30 ijin mo sholat isya, lalu ita pun pergi sholat. Di dalam sholat dan do’a ku adalah:
“ Ya Alloh, bila Kau ijinkan kami untuk menjaga papa kami di bumi, maka sembuhkan lah ya Alloh, ita berjanji akan terus menjaga papa, dan menurut apa kata papa dan ita akan berikan yang terbaik untuk papa, jangan dulu ya Alloh ambil papa kami, karena kami belum memberikan kebahagiaan untuk papa kami,,, Amiin” … sambil menangis……….
Akhirnya sholat pun selesai, dan ita kembali ke ruangan papa. Aktifitas pun ita lakukan kembali. Di telinga papa terus ita berzhikir dan membacakan ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an. Waktu terus berlalu tanpa henti, jam pun menunjukkan pukul 10 malam. Akhirnya dokter pun datang si dokter Mangiring terus berkelang beberapa menit akhirnya Dokter Jimmy pun datang, lalu doter jimmy pun memeriksa papa, terus terus dan terus dokter jimmy pun berkata kalo bapak ini dalam kondisi “KOMA”, lalu mendengar itu ita sangat tersentak sekali, “ya Alloh, apalagi ini yang Kau berikan kepada kami”. Lalu ita pun menangis mendengar itu, dan kemudian ita disuruh sama suster untuk mengambil hasil lab, di lantai 2. Akhirnya ita pun pergi tanpa melihat lagi sekeliling ita. Tapi ita sangka, ternyata tidak ketemu dimana ruangan itu. Akhirnya ita turun lagi, dan ita menanyakan ke satpam, lalu satpam member I tahu itu. Dan akhirnya ita menemukannya dalam kondisi suasana hati dan pikiran ita sudah rada kacau semua, lalu ita pun menelepon ayuk via, mengabarkan kalo papa kita dalam kondisi koma. Lalu ita menelepon bule, adek papa dan 2 temen ita si miki chan dan yulia. Ya Alloh, sungguh luar biasa cobaan ini, yang KAU berikan kepada kami. akhirnya hasil lab itu ita berikan kepada suster disana. Akhirnya papa harus dipindahkan tempatnya ke ruangan isolasi lantai 2 karena ruangan UGD hanya digunakan untuk keperluan pasien yang masuk kembali. Akhirnya papa pun dipindahkan dalam kondisi tubuh yang sudah tidak lengkap lagi alat-alat yang dipake diruangan UGD. Dalam perjalanan itu ita merasakan bahwa aura papa berubah menjadi redup. Karena ita melihat kondisi papa seperti itu kala itu. Akhirnya sampailah di ruangan isolasi lantai 2 tersebut. Di dalam ruangan itu, akhirnya papa dipindahkan ke tempat tidurnya yang baru. Ya Alloh, sungguh betapa dan sangat betapa luar biasanya pada malam itu, jam 11.15,ita langsung memegang kaki papa, lalu berkata kepada mama;
Ita : “mama, ngapo kaki papa dingin nian terus biru ?” dengan kondisi cemas dan kacau balau.
Lalu sesaat setelah berkata seperti itu, ya Alloh apa yang ita lihat sungguh diuar kesadaran ita dengan antara percaya dan sangat tidak percaya, ternyata papa menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya di tempat tidur tersebut dan ita melihatnya ketika “SAKRATUL MAUT” menjemput ruh papa dari jasadnya. Ya Alloh, itu pun ita langsung menangis dan tak henti-hentinya, ya Alloh, akhirnya Engkau mengambil papa kami di bumi Alloh ini. Ita tahu kalo Alloh sayang sama papa, karena papa sakit dan Alloh mau menyembuhkan papa total dengan cara Engkau ya Alloh.

Theart 3
Ya Alloh, sungguh luar biasa sekali Engkau memberikan kami cobaan ini, ini arti hidup yang sesungguhnya. akhirnya papa pun di bawa kembali ke Emergency untuk dibawa pulang ke rumah. Ya Alloh, sungguh luar biasa untuk semua ini. Dan kain putih itu pun menutupi seluruh tubuh papa yang gemuk itu. Ya Alloh, ita melihat itu semua dan terbaringnya papa di bawah kain putih itu. Akhirnya perjalanan itu pun akhirnya sampai di rumah. Ya Alloh, papa diletakkan di atas kasur adekku yang sudah rapi banget. Papa ditidurkan diruangan depan itu, terus dijaga bergantian. Setelah papa dibobokan. Kami pun pergi mandi untuk sholat sunnah tahajut, kami pun sholat bersama-sama, dengan imam nya adek ku, dan kami pengikutnya. Ya Alloh,,,,, karena ita uda cape banget akhirnya ita bobo sama ponakan si Dzaky, dan ayuk menjaga papa. Akhirnya subuh pun tiba, kami pun bergegas ambil wudhu, dan kami pun sholat berjamaah. Setelah kami sholat subuh,,,, Subhanalloh …. Ketika kami membuka kain penutup di kepala papa. Papa tersenyum,,, karena papa kami ajak sholat subuh. Senyuman papa itu sungguh luar biasa sekali yang Alloh berikan untuk kami. berarti itu menandakan bahwa papa dah sehat sekali. Dan kami sudah mengikhlaskan kepergian papa disisi kami ini. Papa tersenyum kala itu karena kami sekeluarga mengajaknya sholat subuh barengan. Kami sholat subuh bareng-bareng papa tersayang. Akhirnya setelah sholat subuh kami bacakan kembali surat yassin bersama.

Akhirnya pagi pun datang. Disisi papa kami duduk sambil membacakan surat yassin, ita, mama, adek, ayuk, wildah. Kami bacakan yassin sama-sama. Lalu tiba-tiba muncullah tetangga, temen bapak, dan kawan-kawan laennya datang bergantian. Mereka juga sungguh terkejut melihat bahwa papa kami telah tiada. Banyak orang tak percaya kalau papa kami telah pulang ke Rahmatullah bersama Alloh SWT yang menjemput. Mereka hanya bisa mendoakan papa kami. dan kami dibilang sama mereka “BERSABAR ya, ikhlaskan semuanya” . kami hanya diam, dan tersenyum apa adanya. Dengan tundukkan kepala yang sungguh berat sekali bila kami lihatkan kepada mereka apa yang sedang terjadi saat itu. Sungguh-sungguh luar biasa sekali banyak sekali orang-orang berdatangan . mungkin tidak terhitung lagi. Banyak sekali temen bapak, menghadiri perpisahan papa kami ini. Akhirnya jam menunjukkan pukul 10:30 am setempat. Akhirnya papa kami dimandikan dan kami pun turut memandikan papa kami. sungguh luar biasa sekali ketika kami melihat papa yang sudah mandi itu, wah subhanallah,,, papa kami bersih sekali dan putih. Seperti kertas baru yang sama sekali tidak ada noda tinta yang tercecer ataupun tertinggal di sini. Akhirnya papa kami setelah dimandikan dipakaikan baju kebesarannya berselimutkan kain putih bersih, papa dihiasi dan ditutupi kapas putih dan diberikan aroma haruman bunga. Akhirnya wajah papa tidak kelihatan lagi karena sudah ditutupi sama kain putih yang dipakainya. Akhirnya papa kami dimasukkan ke dalam keranda, lalu kemudian papa dibawa ke masjid untuk disholatkan. Subhanallah ternyata banyak sekali yang mensholati papa kami, sampai-sampai shap sholat itu dipenuhi sama rekan-rekan papa dan tetangga papa.
Kata hadist bilang :
“Barang siapa yang menyholati jenazah, shap sholat melebihi dari tiga baris shap. Maka orang yang meninggal itu, tidak akan disiksa di dalam kuburnya… “

Amiin, semoga saja papa masuk dalam hadist itu. Setelah disholatkan papa kami dibawa ketempat peristirahatannya yang terakhir yaitu di TPU Puncak Sekuning . ya Alloh sungguh kami sangat bersyukur sekali kepada MU, karena papa kami mendapatkan tempat yang sungguh indah sekali, dibawah pohon nan rindang dan sejuk sekali.

Akhirnya papa kami dimasukkan ke dalam liang lahat dan di doakan terus di adzankan sama kakak kami kak
ico. kemudian setelah itu papa kami ditutupi sama papan-papan kayu. Ya Alloh, kami tidak sanggup melihat ini semua kalo diibaratkan. Kami ditinggal papa selama-lamanya. Sekarang papa sudah tenang di alam kubur. Semoga amal ibadah papa bisa menolong papa di alam barzak. Dan amalan yang tidak pernah terputus terus membantu papa di alam barzak sana. ..

SELAMAT JALAN PAPA kami terSayang …… kami akan dan selalu sayang dan cinta sama papa. Kami sekeluarga tidak akan pernah melupakan papa di dalam ingatan dan hati kami selamanya hingga akhir jaman. Papa adalah pahlawan, papa, sahabat, teman, dan HERO. Insyahalloh kita akan berkumpul kembali di SYURGA nya ALLOH SWT dan bersama-sama kembali disana. Ammiiinnnn,

"Unfaithful" - Rihanna

2010-04-26T15:38:00.002+07:00

Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
Cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

He's more than a man
And this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
The clouds are rolling in
Because I'm gone again
And to him I just can't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

I feel it in the air
As I'm doing my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss upon my cheek
As he reluctantly
Asks if I'm gonna be out late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know
Where I'm about to go
And we know it very well

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore
Uh
Anymore (anymore)

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
And everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer (a murderer)

No no no no

Yeah yeah yeah

"My Confession" - josh groBan

2010-04-26T15:37:00.002+07:00

I have been blind, unwilling
To see the true love your giving.
I have ignored every blessing.
I'm on my knees confessing

That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

I have been wrong about you.
Thought I was strong without you.
For so long nothing could move me.
For so long nothing could change me.
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

[Bridge:]
You are the air that I breathe.
You're the ground beneath my feet.
When did I stop believing?

Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.

Morning Musume モーニング娘

2010-04-26T07:43:00.000+07:00

Morning Musume (モーニング娘。 Mōningu Musume.^?) is a Japanese girl group, whose act generally revolves around singing and dancing to upbeat melodies. Sometimes referred to as Momusu (モー娘。 Mōmusu.^?), they are the lead group of Hello! Project, which is masterminded by Naoki Yamazaki^[1] and managed by producer Tsunku, who composes nearly all the lyrics and melodies of their songs. Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the Oricon charts.^[2]
Musume (娘^?), in this context, means girl. The group is known for ever fluctuating line-up, with "graduations" and auditions held nearly every year. 2008 was the only year so far when no changes in the line-up occurred. Over the years, the group produced several splinter groups, and often worked with other Hello! Project acts, including Country Musume, Berryz Kobo, Melon Kinenbi, and v-u-den.
Since their expansion into the Chinese market in 2007, the group officially adopted the name Jou An Sao Nu Jou (Zǎo Ān Shào Nǚ Zǔ, Traditional Chinese: 早安少女組, meaning, "good morning girl's group").^[3]

History

Japanese producer Tsunku started the group in 1997 through an audition for a female rock vocalist for his band Sharan Q. The audition was held on the Japanese TV show Asayan. The winner was Heike Michiyo, later to become a soloist under what would eventually become known as Hello! Project. Tsunku decided to form a girl group consisting of five of the runners-up: Yuko Nakazawa, Natsumi Abe, Kaori Iida, Asuka Fukuda, and Aya Ishiguro. They were issued a challenge to sell 50,000 copies of their demo single, "Ai no Tane," with just five days of promotion events. They managed the feat in four promotion days (spread out over November, 1997) in a very grassroots manner, and Tsunku began his mission to create the most famous all-girl group in Japan.

[edit] 1998

In early 1998, the girls were ready with their first official single, "Morning Coffee."^[4] The success of this single (hitting #6 on the Japanese pop charts) brought them three new members known as the second generation: Kei Yasuda, Mari Yaguchi, and Sayaka Ichii, bringing the total member count to eight. The second single, Summer Night Town,^[5] was the first single of the new lineup—a mature pop tune about unsuccessfully attempting to hide one's true feelings. Their third single, "Daite Hold on Me!,"^[6] continued in the same vein musically as Summer Night Town, and managed to hit #1 on the charts. Leader Nakazawa also started her solo career.
First Time^[7] was released in July 1998, featuring the singles "Ai no Tane","Morning Coffee" and "Summer Night Town".
That year, Tsunku also formed Tanpopo, the first subgroup of Morning Musume, with Kaori Iida, Aya Ishiguro, and Mari Yaguchi. Tanpopo touted slower, more mature songs.

[edit] 1999

1999 kicked off with the group's fourth single "Memory Seishun no Hikari,"^[8] failing to hit #1 but managing to snag #2 on Oricon (Glay's "Winter, again" was #1 for the week, with 1st week sales of 955,780 copies, while Morning Musume's Memory Seishun no Hikari's was 195,720). The song contained a rap section and intense vocal harmonization on the girls parts. This was Asuka Fukuda's last single with Morning Musume, making her currently the shortest-lived member at 2 years. Asuka claimed that she was leaving in order to focus on her studies, only to drop out of school soon after.
"Manatsu no Kōsen"^[9] was released in May and was a summer tune. It went to #3 on the charts, and the sales dropped by half from Memory Seishun no Hikari); Morning Musume's chart position was visibly lagging at the time, their sixth single, "Furusato,"^[10] only sealing the fact. Natsumi Abe sang the entire song "Furusato", with the other members harmonizing discreetly. This single was #5, and the sales once again decreased by half.
Second Morning^[11] was released in July 1999, and contained the singles "Daite Hold on Me!," "Memory Seishun no Hikari," "Manatsu no Kōsen," and "Furusato." "Daite Hold on Me!" and "Manatsu no Kōsen" were remixed.
Eager to add new life to the group, Tsunku held auditions for the third generation of Morning Musume. Two girls were expected to be admitted, but ultimately only Maki Goto was added. Goto was 13, the youngest member of Morning Musume at the time. The group's seventh single, "Love Machine,"^[12] sold 1,646,630 copies, making it a major hit; it is still their highest-selling single to date. The song touted an image of Japan as the future "envy of the world" and cheered the masses during a period of economic recession. It was Maki Goto's first single and Aya Ishiguro's last. Its wild success dramatically increased the popularity of the group.
Soon Goto was paired with Kei Yasuda and Sayaka Ichii to form the subgroup Petitmoni (also known as Pucchi Moni). Petitmoni's first single, "Chokotto Love," rivaled the success of "Love Machine," selling over 1,123,610 copies.

[edit] 2000

2000 first saw the release of "Koi no Dance Site,"^[13] which hit #2 and sold over a million—400,000 copies away from reaching Love Machine's success. The single had the highest 1st week sales than any other Morning Musume's singles, an enormous amount of 600,860 copies. Even with this large number, the single did not reach #1 because Southern All Stars's biggest hit single, TSUNAMI, which sold total of 2.93 million copies, was released at the same date as Koi no Dance Site. Aya Ishiguro left the group before the single was released in order to marry Shinya, drummer of rock band Luna Sea, leaving the group with seven members.
The second event of 2000 was the creation of "shuffle units," in which all members of Tsunku's then 16-member family, Hello! Project, were shuffled around to form three one-time groups: Akagumi 4, Kiiro 5, and Aoiro 7. The idea was to battle for the highest single sales. This was achieved by Akagumi 4 which, to no surprise, boasted Maki Goto as the lead vocals.
In March, their third studio album, 3rd-Love Paradise^[14] was released. Despite having "Love Machine" and "Koi no Dance Site" on its track list, it did not manage to claim the #1 spot, but did sell more than 800,000 copies, making it Morning Musume's highest-selling studio album to date.
This year also brought a new generation search. The fourth generation consisted of Rika Ishikawa, Hitomi Yoshizawa, Nozomi Tsuji, and Ai Kago, lending a completely different feel to the group by adding the 12-year-old duo of Tsuji and Kago. After their debut single, "Happy Summer Wedding,"^[15] (continuing the legacy of #1 hits with 990,950 copies sold,) Sayaka Ichii graduated to pursue her own music career. She became the vocalist of Japanese group Cubic Cross and later married fellow member Naoki Yoshizawa (no relation to Hitomi Yoshizawa).
With Ishiguro and Ichii gone, both Tanpopo and Petitmoni revised their lineups—Hitomi Yoshizawa joined Petitmoni, and Ai Kago and Rika Ishikawa were added to Tanpopo. Meanwhile, Mari Yaguchi had started performing informally with Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji in concerts as Mini Moni, a group tailored towards younger audiences with all the members being less than 150 cm (about 5 ft) tall. Mika Todd of Coconuts Musume was later added into the group and Tsunku made them official. Their debut single, "Minimoni Jankenpyon!," was a #1 hit on the Oricon.
As an idol group, they were extremely successful, drawing comparisons to the popularity of former girl idol group Speed. "I Wish"^[16] and "Renai Revolution 21"^[17] (Yuko Nakazawa's last single) continued the trend of happy pop songs becoming staple hits for the group. Morning Musume also began their tradition of performing in musicals each year, breaking new ground as idols with their hit musical, Love Century -Yume wa Minakerya Hajimaranai-.

[edit] 2001

In April 2001, group leader Yuko Nakazawa graduated to concentrate more on her solo career (stating her age as a factor as well—she felt it was limiting her ability to meet the physical demands of the group's activities) making Kaori Iida and Kei Yasuda Morning Musume's co-leaders. During this time, the Rika Ishikawa was "lent" out to the rather inactive group, Country Musume. She did not officially join, but she sang with them for a short period of time.
By July 2001 the string of #1 hits had yet to be broken with the release of the single "The Peace!."^[18] The Peace! was another somewhat bizarre pop tune, beginning with an almost fight song-like call and response, and featuring Rika Ishikawa as the lead. She had a dialog in the middle of the song, many solo lines, and took center in the dance and the cover shot. The promotional video echoed the song's strangeness by placing the group in the middle of what appeared to be a gigantic public bathroom, displaying the girls dancing amongst the urinals and posing for photographs in the stalls; supposedly as a response to hidden camera footage of the members that had recently surfaced, filmed from a toilet in their production offices.^[19]
At the end of January 2001, the best selling Hello! Project album to date, at 2,259,510 copies, was released: "Best! Morning Musume 1."^[20] It featured 15 tracks, the only original song being "Say Yeah! -Motto Miracle Night-."
At the end of 2001, four new members joined the group as the fifth generation through the audition "Love Audition 21:" Ai Takahashi, Asami Konno, Makoto Ogawa, and Risa Niigaki, bringing the roster to 13 girls. Their first single "Mr. Moonlight: Ai no Big Band,"^[21] (done in the style of big band) featured fourth generation member Hitomi Yoshizawa as the central focus and main vocalist of the song.

[edit] 2002

In February, "Souda! We're Alive,"^[22] another hit, was released. It featured many different styles combined into one song, centered on Mari Yaguchi.
In July 2002, "Do It! Now"^[23] was released. This single finally broke the line of #1 hits and came in at #3—a surprising fact to many, considering it was Maki Goto's last single.
Morning Musume's fourth studio album, 4th Ikimasshoi!^[24] was released in March 2002 after a two year wait. It is the first studio album from the group to reach #1 on Oricon. It featured the singles "Renai Revolution 21," (rerecorded with the current 13-person formation,) "The Peace!," (in a 'full', longer version,) "Mr. Moonlight: Ai no Big Band," (with added dialog at the beginning,) and "Souda! We're Alive."
Late 2002 was marked by the graduation of Maki Goto and a mass re-shuffle of the sub-units. Tsunku removed Kaori Iida, Mari Yaguchi, and Ai Kago from Tanpopo, adding in Asami Konno, Risa Niigaki, and Ayumi Shibata of Melon Kinenbi to join Rika Ishikawa. Tanpopo only released one single with this lineup before the group was put on an indefinite hiatus status. Makoto Ogawa and Ayaka Kimura of Coconuts Musume joined Hitomi Yoshizawa in Petitmoni to replace Kei Yasuda and Maki Goto, but the group did not even release a single, only performing in concerts. Their song "Wow Wow Wow" was later released on the Hello! Project's compilation CD Petit Best 4. In Mini Moni, Mari Yaguchi was replaced by Ai Takahashi and the new lineup went on to put out several singles and a second album until member Mika Todd graduated in May 2004, adding Mini Moni to the list of "indefinite hiatus" subgroups.
In October "Koko ni Iruzee!"^[25] was released, a fast-paced, feel-good song about making the most of life and music's ability to unite the world. It was #1 on Oricon.

[edit] 2003

The unique child-like tune "Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyōtanjima"^[26] was released in February 2003 as the group's seventeenth single. It is significant because it was a cover song, marking the first time Tsunku did not write a single's lyrics.
April brought the notably successful single "As for One Day"^[27]—a synthesizer-driven song about lost love—which sold 129,893 copies and hit #1 in Oricon charts, and was the last time a Morning Musume single got #1 until "Aruiteru" (released late 2006). This single was the last for Kei Yasuda.
Before the auditions for the sixth generation were held, the group released the album No.5.^[28] It was unique in a few ways. It was the last studio album to feature Kei Yasuda and Natsumi Abe as full members of the group. It was also the first Morning Musume studio album to feature a former member, as Maki Goto guests on "Megami ~Mousse na Yasashisa~" and "Ganbacchae." It only featured two singles: "Do It! Now" and "Koko ni Iruzee!."
In mid-2003, four new girls were added as the sixth generation: Miki Fujimoto, Eri Kamei, Sayumi Michishige, and Reina Tanaka. After she pulled off a successful appearance on the New Year's music program "Kōhaku Uta Gassen" with several Morning Musume members dancing as backup, Tsunku also added in Miki Fujimoto (originally an up-and-coming solo singer under Hello! Project) as part of the sixth generation. Their debut concert was also Kei Yasuda's graduation concert, and Tsunku has said that this one-time 16-member group is the largest Morning Musume will ever be.
The sixth generation's first single was "Shabondama,"^[29] which featured "break-up" lyrics, a seemingly spontaneous dance routine, and rolled "r"s.
Mari Yaguchi became Morning Musume's sub-leader after Kei's graduation and was also put in charge of training and assisting the trainee group of Hello! Project Kids, eventually forming a group with 5 of them, known as ZYX.
Later in 2003, Morning Musume was split into two subgroups so that it could tour more cities (especially smaller cities that could not support a 15-member troupe). Morning Musume Sakuragumi, which focused on slower and more traditional love songs, included Natsumi Abe, Mari Yaguchi, Hitomi Yoshizawa, Ai Kago, Ai Takahashi, Risa Niigaki, Asami Konno and Eri Kamei. Morning Musume Otomegumi, which had more upbeat pop songs with a slight rock flavor, featured Kaori Iida, Rika Ishikawa, Nozomi Tsuji, Makoto Ogawa, Miki Fujimoto, Sayumi Michishige, and Reina Tanaka. Sakuragumi released two singles: "Hare Ame Nochi Suki" and "Sakura Mankai," and Otomegumi released two singles as well: "Ai no Sono: Touch My Heart!" and "Yūjō: Kokoro no Busu ni wa Naranee!."
The last single of Morning Musume in 2003 to feature the entire group was "Go Girl: Koi no Victory,"^[30] which had the members girlishly proclaiming the victory of their love.

[edit] 2004

In January 2004, Natsumi Abe (known as "the face of Morning Musume" to the general public) graduated to pursue a soloist career. Her last single was "Ai Araba It's All Right,"^[31] Morning Musume's last song to sell more than 100,000 copies. "Ai Araba It's All Right" had uplifting lyrics (as would be expected, with the title), and a cheery dance sequence.
The group soon released another single, "Roman: My Dear Boy."^[32] The song showcased an almost rock flavor and centered its lyrics around offering "a dance" to a boy. This was followed by their twenty-third single, "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari,"^[33] which is unique in that it was actually about the Morning Musume girls themselves—each member got a verse about their personality. This song would later be remade several times as "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 2" and "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 3," included in their sixth and seventh album respectively. This single also marked the graduation of fourth generation members Nozomi Tsuji and Ai Kago in August, to focus on "W", their new duo group.
In mid-2004, Morning Musume's second best-of album, Best! Morning Musume 2^[34] was released and featured "Yah! Aishitai" as the only new track. It had a lukewarm reception at best, compared to their first best-of compilation.
Auditions for the seventh generation (named "Lucky 7" to commemorate the seventh generation, the seventh year of Morning Musume, and seven audition sites across Japan) were held in various Japan cities in late 2004, resulting in six finalists. However, on January 9, 2005, Tsunku surprised everyone by announcing that no one in the Lucky 7 audition would be added to Morning Musume, citing that he had set his expectations extra-high this year in hopes of finding an "ace." This was the first time an audition had ended with no new members.
In November 2004, Morning Musume released "Namida ga Tomaranai Hōkago,"^[35] a ballad that featured Asami Konno, Sayumi Michishige, and Rika Ishikawa.
Following this single Morning Musume Early Single Box^[36] was released. It was a 9-CD set containing their first eight singles with a bonus track on each one, as well as a karaoke CD of some of their more popular tunes from the early years.
Finally, at the end of 2004, the group's yearly album was released. Their sixth studio album, named Ai no Dai 6 Kan,^[37] hit stores in December. It contained three singles: "Roman: My Dear Boy," "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari," and "Namida ga Tomaranai Hōkago." This was Ai Kago, Nozomi Tsuji, Kaori Iida, Mari Yaguchi, and Rika Ishikawa's last credited studio album.

[edit] 2005

On January 30, 2005 - then-leader and the last member from the first generation Kaori Iida graduated to pursue a solo singer/artist career, with Mari Yaguchi taking on leadership role with Hitomi Yoshizawa as subleader. Her last single was "The Manpower!!!,"^[38] which sung about the abilities of the human race and was also the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles theme song. The beginning of 2005 also saw the beginning of Musume Document 2005, which covered behind-the-scenes material, historical footage, and interviews.
In February 2005, Tsunku started another audition for Morning Musume's seventh generation. He noted that he was still intent on finding an "ace." This audition resulted with Koharu Kusumi finally being chosen as the sole "miracle" member of the new generation.
On April 10, 2005, photos were taken of Mari Yaguchi with Shun Oguri (scheduled to be published in a gossip magazine Friday! on the 15th). On April 14, 2005, Yaguchi announced that she would "retire" from Morning Musume and would continue on with solo activities. In her public statement, Yaguchi said that due to the scandal and its publicity, she could no longer sustain an "idol" image befitting of Morning Musume. Because of the nature of her departure (resignation rather than graduation), Yaguchi did not receive a graduation concert. Sub-leader Hitomi Yoshizawa took over as the leader of Morning Musume, and Miki Fujimoto became sub-leader as of July 15, 2005.
Just days after Yaguchi resigned, on April 27, 2005, the group's twenty-sixth single, "Osaka Koi no Uta"^[39] was released. The final version featured Yaguchi still, presumably because they did not have enough time to rerecord and remix it. The lyrics are in an Osaka dialect. This single was also Rika Ishikawa's last. She graduated on May 7, 2005 to assume full-time leadership of the Hello! Project trio known as v-u-den.
Kusumi's first single with Morning Musume was July's "Iroppoi Jirettai,"^[40] a flamenco styled song, which was considered to be the biggest hit of the year—selling around 20,000 more copies than anything else. A 3 city handshake event was organized for the promotion of this single.
Morning Musume's last single of 2005 was "Chokkan 2: Nogashita Sakana wa Ōkiizo!,"^[41] which was a remake of a previous album-only song about the importance of using your intuition and not taking good things for granted. "Koi wa Hassō Do The Hustle!" was going to be the title track for the single, but due to poor preview results, became the coupling track instead.
On December 31, 2005, graduated Morning Musume members Mari Yaguchi, Kaori Iida, Natsumi Abe, Yuko Nakazawa, Ai Kago, Nozomi Tsuji, Rika Ishikawa, Maki Goto, and Kei Yasuda joined the current lineup of Morning Musume to perform the band's signature hit "Love Machine" on the 2005/2006 edition of Kōhaku Uta Gassen.^[42] The performance was Yaguchi's first since leaving Morning Musume eight and a half months earlier.

[edit] 2006

On January 16, 2006, it was announced that Morning Musume had won a Kanagawa Image Up Award in recognition of Hello! Project's support of an anti-pollution campaign. Yoshizawa, Fujimoto, and Takahashi represented the band to accept the award.^[43]^[44]
In February, the group released their seventh studio album, Rainbow 7.^[45] It was the first album for Kusumi and the last for Konno and Ogawa. The album features "The Manpower!!!," "Osaka Koi no Uta," "Iroppoi Jirettai," and "Chokkan 2: Nogashita Sakana wa Ōkiizo!" (in a remixed form). Kaori Iida, Rika Ishikawa and Mari Yaguchi are not credited anywhere in the liner notes although their vocals appear. Three of the songs on the album are performed by smaller clusters of several group members, and are credited in the liner notes to the featured members involved, rather than to the entire group.
In March 2006, "Sexy Boy: Soyokaze ni Yorisotte" was released. It featured an easy-to-learn dance and a parapara style. It was considered to be a relative success.
On April 28, 2006, it was announced by Tsunku from his official website that fifth generation members Asami Konno and Makoto Ogawa were going to graduate. Konno graduated on July 23, 2006 to attend University and Ogawa graduated on August 27, 2006 to study English abroad. Both left Morning Musume, but only Konno left Hello! Project entirely; Ogawa intended to return after completing her studies, and is still pictured as a soloist on Hello! Project's official website.^[46]^[47]^[48] However, as of 2007, Konno returned to Hello! Project to join the new group Ongaku Gatas, making it the first time ever that a girl who left Hello! Project actually returned. She will remain an active member within the agency and Ongaku Gatas while continuing her university studies. Ogawa, on the other hand, returned in June 2008 by appearing on an episode of Morning Musume's television show Haromoni@.
Konno and Ogawa's last single was "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan",^[49] which, yet again, featured a parapara type arrangement, with a rock 'n' roll flair. It was the group's 30th single, and a limited-edition CD of all past 30 singles mixed into a thirteen-minute track was included on the first pressing. Unfortunately, sales did not add up to the hype or the significance, and Ambitious! clocked in as Morning Musume's lowest-selling single yet.
In mid-2006, the group performed the musical Ribbon no Kishi. Ai Takahashi took the main role; the secondary role was played by alternating members. There was also a mini-concert at the end of each performance, which served as Ogawa's real "graduation concert"—the Wonderful Hearts 2006 concert was initially intended for Konno's graduation only, although Ogawa wore a special outfit and read her graduation comments as well. (A last minute decision that fans were unaware of before the concert began). As for Ribbon no Kishi, an album with a selection of songs was released: Ribbon no Kishi The Musical Song Selection.^[50]
In mid-2006, Tsunku announced the audition for the eighth generation, called Morning Musume Happy 8 Audition. The audition started on August 27, 2006 and ended in Tokyo on October 22, 2006. On December 10, 2006's Hello! Morning, it was announced that the only new member was Aika Mitsui.^[51] The show had a piece of audition footage each week leading up to December 10, 2006.
The last single release in 2006 was "Aruiteru,"^[52] which was a huge hit. It was the first single at the #1 spot after 3½ years (their last #1 hit being "As for One Day.") The song's lyrics were credited for its success, with lines like "walking, you're not alone because everyone's here with you, praying for peace."^[53] It was a bit of a turn from the hyperactive singles the group had been releasing. Tsunku's group, Sharan Q, also made a rock cover of this song.
Their first mini-album, 7.5 Fuyu Fuyu Morning Musume Mini!,^[54] was released in December. It featured five tracks by solo and/or smaller combinations of band members. It also featured the single "Aruiteru."

[edit] 2007

In early 2007, Morning Musume Tanjō 10nen Kinentai, a unit consisting of Kaori Iida, Natsumi Abe, Maki Goto, Risa Niigaki, and Koharu Kusumi, was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Morning Musume. They released a commemorative single called "Bokura ga Ikiru My Asia".^[55] The members chosen symbolize the beginning of the group; how they had five members ranging in age from 13–24. Additionally, each member was from an odd-numbered generation (Kaori Iida and Natsumi Abe from the first generation, Maki Goto from the third, Risa Niigaki from the fifth, and Koharu Kusumi from the seventh).
On January 2, 2007, an announcement was made during Hello! Project's 2007 Winter concert that the group's leader at the time Hitomi Yoshizawa would graduate from Morning Musume on May 6, 2007, the last day of Morning Musume's 2007 spring tour. The concert was at the Saitama Super Arena in Yoshizawa's hometown in Saitama.^[56]
In February, the first single with the eighth generation member Aika Mitsui was released, "Egao Yes Nude."^[57] This was the first PV of Morning Musume to appear on the Dohhh!Up site (a streaming website of Hello! Project media). The single went up against tougher competition than "Aruiteru" had, only landing them a #4 spot, although it sold relatively the same number of copies. The song has a funky, disco feel, and is highly-reminiscent of some of the oldest songs of Morning Musume, most notably Summer Night Town.
On the March 11, 2007 edition of the weekly TV show Hello! Morning, producer Tsunku revealed he would make an important announcement in the following episode. Several days later, on March 15, he announced that two other eighth generation members would be joining the group—Li Chun and Qian Lin, both Chinese nationals, were to join as "exchange students."^[58] Tsunku stated the two new members would be an important key for their group's planned expansion into Asia and gave them the stage names "Junjun" and "Linlin" respectively. The two made their stage debut on May 6, at Saitama Super Arena, during current leader Yoshizawa's graduation.^[59] This is notable, as they are the first non-Japanese members of the group.
On March 21, 2007, the group's eighth studio album, Sexy 8 Beat was released.^[60] It was the first album for Aika Mitsui and the last album for Hitomi Yoshizawa and Miki Fujimoto. It featured the singles "Aruiteru," "Egao Yes Nude," "Sexy Boy: Soyokaze ni Yorisotte," and "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan."
In late April, Morning Musume released their 33rd single, "Kanashimi Twilight."^[61] The song style was a huge departure from almost anything Morning Musume had released prior to it, displaying a loud, rock arrangement and the angriest lyrics since Shabondama.
With the success of Kanashimi Twilight, on May 1, 2007, Morning Musume became the "best single selling female group in Japan" with 11,085,000 copies sold—their fifth Oricon record. The achievement surpasses the previous record set by Pink Lady of 11,037,000 copies sold.^[2]
On May 6, 2007, Hitomi Yoshizawa graduated. Miki Fujimoto took her place as leader and Ai Takahashi replaced Fujimoto as sub-leader.
As of June 1, 2007, Miki Fujimoto resigned from Morning Musume, due to the tabloid magazine Friday running an article depicting Fujimoto and comedian Tomoharu Shoji in a relationship.^[62]^[63] Ai Takahashi replaced Fujimoto as leader (a position the latter occupied for the briefest period in the band's history—26 days), and Risa Niigaki became subleader.
Morning Musume's 34th single Onna ni Sachi Are was released on July 25, 2007. It features the debut of new eighth generation members from China Junjun and Linlin. This was the first time that girls from another country entered the group. The single reached #2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, with sales of 43,364 copies.
On October 26, 2007, Ai Takahashi, Risa Niigaki, and Koharu Kusumi visited Korea to promote their singles collection album Morning Musume All Singles Complete: 10th Anniversary, which was released on October 24, 2007.^[64] Also, Takahashi and Niigaki appeared as special guests in a Korean radio show called Maybee's Turn Up the Volume (메이비의 볼륨을 높여요). Later that same month, on October 29, 2007, all nine members traveled to Taiwan for three days to promote the album.^[65] This was the first time Morning Musume held a non-Fan Club promotional event as a group outside of Japan. During their visit, they attended press conferences, appeared for radio and TV show recordings, and held the first-ever public handshaking event outside of Japan.^[66]
November 21, 2007 marked the release of Morning Musume's 35th single, "Mikan". Initial sales were poor for the song, which became the group's lowest-selling single, (even lower than the initial indies release of "Ai no Tane", which sold 50,000 copies), both in terms of first week sales and absolute sales figures. As a result, unlike all previous singles, Mikan failed to appear on Oricon's Top 5 Chart, breaking the group's previously held record.
On December 31, 2007, Morning Musume performed in the 58th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with a remixed version of their song "Love Machine" along with °C-ute and Berryz Kobo. Similar to the previous Kōhaku, the red team (females) lost to the white team (males) after attaining votes from the viewers and judges.

[edit] 2008

Ai Takahashi, Eri Kamei, Sayumi Michishige, and Reina Tanaka participated in the musical Ojigi 30 Degrees at the Shinjuku Theater from February 26 to March 2. Morning Musume's 36th music single, "Resonant Blue," had been announced for release on March 5, 2008 but was postponed until April 16, 2008 because of the busy schedule in the winter/early spring season. Multiple promotional videos were released. With the original, another version, a studio dance shot version, a night scene version, and a one-cut dance version, it makes the most PVs ever released for one single. Also notable is the smoky eye make-up used on the members, a daring new look for Morning Musume as they attempt to expand into Asia.
The group held a concert at Taipei Nankang Exhibition Hall, Taiwan, on May 24, 2008. the first time ever for Morning Musume to have a concert outside Japan.
On April 5, 2008, Morning Musume’s Aika Mitsui complained of a stomach ache after a concert at Hachiōji Citizen Hall. She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was ordered to rest for two weeks. Mitsui subsequently missed the concerts on April 12 and 13.^[67]
"Resonant Blue" was released on April 16, 2008, the 36th single after it had been delayed due to hectic schedule. The single debuted at #2 and finished third in the Oricon Weekly ranking. Overall, the single marked a rebound from poor sales of the previous single, "Mikan". In its first week, it sold 48,086 copies, 20,004 copies more than "Mikan" and around 5,000 more copies than Onna ni Sachi Are.
From August 6 to August 25, 2008, Morning Musume performed with several members of the all-female Takarazuka theatre troupe in a version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Ai Takahashi starred in the main role of Cinderella, with Risa Niigaki as the Prince, and Eri Kamei and Reina Tanaka as the stepsisters. The other members participated as fairies and guards.
Morning Musume's 37th single, "Pepper Keibu",^[68] was released on September 24, 2008. Unlike past singles (with the exception of Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyōtanjima), this song is actually a cover of Pink Lady's debut single, released in 1976. In the first week of the release, it sold approximately 10,000 copies less than Resonant Blue and 10,000 copies more than Mikan.
Berikyū! and Haromoni@ finished their run and both are replaced with Yorosen! (よろセン!^?). It started on October 6, 2008. The show stars Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, and °C-ute.^[69]
2008 was the first year in which there were no changes in Morning Musume's lineup.

[edit] 2009

Morning Musume released their 38th single on February 18, 2009. This was their first single of 2009, titled "Naichau Kamo". The title translates to "I Might Cry" and was released in two limited versions, A and B, each including a DVD.^[70] On March 18, 2009 they released their ninth studio album, called Platinum 9 Disc (プラチナ 9 DISC^?).^[71]
Morning Musume released their 39th single, "Shōganai Yume Oibito", on May 13, 2009,^[72] attaining a rank of #1 on the Oricon weekly chart for the first time since their "Aruiteru" single in late 2006.^[73] It also became the group's first #1 single to feature eighth generation members Aika Mitsui, Junjun, and Linlin.^[74]
Following the success of Shōganai Yume Oibito,^[72] the group released their 40th single "Nanchatte Ren'ai" on August 12, which was their third single of 2009. At the same time, with 'Nanchatte Ren'ai' being the group's 40th single, a commemorative edition was released along with the usual regular edition plus two limited editions. The commemorative edition has a different c/w track on it than the regular and limited editions. This is something the group has not done (having 2 c/w tracks in different editions of the singles) since their 4th single, 'Memory Seishun no Hikari' in 1999, which has two c/w tracks in one edition. Nanchatte Ren'ai charted at #2 on the Oricon Weekly Sales Chart with 68,201 copies sold. This single marked their best opening week since Iroppoi Jirettai in 2005.
Their latest Greatest Hits Album (B-side collection album) was released featuring all B-side songs from their debut single to 40th single on 3 discs.
With good sales from Nanchatte Renai, Morning Musume released their 41st single "Kimagure Princess" on October 28, 2009. There are four versions of the single (Regular, Limited A, B, and C). There was never a C version of a Morning Musume single until now, the C version contains ten interchangeable covers. This is not the first time Morning Musume has done this. "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan" came with 10 different covers for their 30th single.
The announcement was made that 7th Generation member Koharu Kusumi would graduate from Morning Musume and Hello! Project on December 6, after the first performance of Morning Musume's Fall Concert Tour 2009 ~Nine Smile~, in order to pursue a modelling career.^[75]^[76] This was the first graduation since 4th Generation member Hitomi Yoshizawa's graduation in 2007, ending the longest stable line-up for Morning Musume.

[edit] 2010

Morning Musume released their 42nd single, "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai" on February 10, 2010^[77] There are four versions: Regular and Limited A, B, and C. This was the group's first single released with the new eight-member lineup, following the graduation of seventh generation member Koharu Kusumi. Their tenth album, "10 My Me", was released on March 17. A new single, "Seishun Collection", is planned for release on June 9, 2010. ^[78]

[edit] Activities outside Japan

In addition to already having official fan clubs in Taiwan and South Korea, Hello! Project and Morning Musume began actively extending its fanbase outside of Japan and primarily into the rest of Asia starting from the middle of 2007 and into 2008.
In March 2007, Morning Musume inducted its first two non-Japanese members from China, Li Chun (Junjun) of Hunan and Qian Lin (Linlin) of Hangzhou.
In addition to the unveiling of Hello! Project's Taiwanese website in 2007, Hello! Project has also launched the Taiwan H.P. New Star Audition as well; an audition aimed at recruiting new members to join Hello! Project as Hello Pro Egg members.^[79]^[80] At this audition, Morning Musume also performed as well.
The TV show Morning Musume New Star airs on Taiwan's TTV network every Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 pm with re-runs Monday to Thursday at 10:15 pm. It ended in mid-August 2008 for re-runs.^{[citation needed]}
Morning Musume also held their 10th Anniversary Live Tour in Korea in June 2008.^[81]
In France, Morning Musume music videos are aired on a television channel called Nolife, a channel that features video games and Japanese music.^[82]
On February 12, 2009, it was announced that Morning Musume would be attending and performing in the United States at Anime Expo, the nation's largest anime convention, during its 2009 convention, as one of the first official guests of honor. It was also announced that "3, 2, 1 Breakin' Out!", the coupling track of their upcoming single "Shōganai Yume Oibito", would be the official theme song for Anime Expo 2009.^[83] The convention was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on July 2 to July 5.^[84] Their concert was on Friday July 3 with a packed audience of American fans, as well as many foreign fans who traveled for the chance to see them.

ガゼット, Gazetto

2010-04-26T07:36:00.000+07:00

the GazettE (ガゼット Gazetto^?) is a Japanese visual kei-based^[1] rock band formed early in 2002, currently signed to PS Company, King Records and CLJ Records.

Biography

[edit] 2002: Conception and early work

The foundations of the band began with Ruki (vocals), Reita (bass), and Uruha (guitar). After being involved with other bands in the visual scene, the trio decided that the GazettE would be their last band^[2]. They recruited Aoi (guitar) and Yune (drums) from disbanded visual band Artia and so began the GazettE in January 2002.^[3] ^[2]
Originally signed to Matina, they released their first single, "Wakaremichi", and a video release on April 30, 2002^[4]. They re-released Wakarimichi and the video release in June of the same year^[4]. By September, they had released "Kichiku Kyoushi (32sai Dokushin) no Nousatsu Kouza" and their second PV release. In October they played their first one-man live. On Christmas, the 5-song compilation 妖幻鏡moon including the Gazette's song "Yougenkyou" was released ^[5].

[edit] 2003: New drummer and Cockayne Soup

In early 2003, Yune decided to leave the band, and he was replaced by Kai. Shortly after, they signed with the PS Company label and in May, released their first EP, Cockayne Soup. They started their first tour, with the band Hanamuke, and along with the tour, the bands collaborated on two songs. A second tour followed with the band Vidoll, and the bands were featured together on the November issue of Cure, a magazine focusing on Visual Kei bands.^[6]
In early December they played a co-headlining show with Deadman. On December 28 they performed at Fool's Mate magazine's Beauti-fool's Fest which was later released on DVD.

[edit] 2004: Disorder

On January 16, 2004 they recorded a solo performance at the Shibuya-AX, which was released on DVD as Tokyo Saihan -Judgment Day-.^[3] On March 30, 2004 they released their Madara mini-album, which reached #2 on the Oricon Indie Charts. Madara was followed in May by a companion DVD, which included six music videos and an in-the-studio documentary. The same month, The Gazette was featured in Shoxx magazine's Expect Rush III, a catalogue of independent Visual Kei artists.^[7] A second live DVD, Heisei Banka, was released in August.^[3] During September and October they toured with fellow PS Company bands Kra and BIS. Their debut album, Disorder, was released in October and made it to the top 5 of the indies Oricon Daily Charts.
The band spent the remainder of 2004 and 2005 touring extensively, releasing Gama, another mini-album, in August.

[edit] 2005-2006: Nil and Nameless Liberty Six Guns

In 2005, the band released their first major label single, Cassis, in December.^[8]
Starting 2006 with a name change—from Japanese characters to a romanized script—they released Nil, their second full-length album, on February 8, 2006,^[3] and embarked on another Japanese tour, ending at the venue Nippon Budokan.^[9] That July, The Gazette performed at the Beethovenhalle in Bonn, Germany, their first show outside of Asia. The concerts were arranged in conjunction with the AnimagiC anime and manga convention.^[10]

[edit] 2007-2009: Stacked Rubbish and DIM

Three more singles were released followed by another studio album, Stacked Rubbish on July 4, 2007. It reached #2 on the Oricon charts within a day from the release. The album debut was followed by a promotional tour from July through September. In October, The Gazette embarked on their first European tour, performing in England, Finland, France, and Germany.
A single named "Guren" was released on February 13, 2008, which landed a #1 spot on the Oricon Charts. It was announced that a new DVD would be released in August, and a new single Leech in Autumn 2008 ^[11], which also landed a #1 spot on the Oricon daily charts.^[12]
The Gazette accomplished a one man tour through all of October called "From the Distorted City," referencing to the song "Distorted Daytime" in their single "Leech," which portrays Tokyo as a "distorted city," in terms of the society and political crisis sweeping over Japan.
On November 15, 2008, The Gazette hosted their first secret show in Shinjuku Station. Originally, around two-hundred fifty people were to be anticipated, but instead, over seven thousand attended, the most in the band's history. Due to the amount of people on the streets, the police were forced to shut it down after two songs.^[12]^[13]
On January 3, 2009, The Gazette performed alongside their fellow bands signed to the PS Company label to celebrate the record label's tenth anniversary, where they announced they would release a new single called "Distress and Coma", which was preceded by a seventh-anniversary performance on March 10 at Makuhari Messe Convention Hall.
The band released their next full-length studio album, "Dim" in the summer, followed by another Japan-wide summer tour starting in July, for which the tour's final show was held at Saitama Super Arena.
On October 7, 2009, they released their new single called "Before I Decay". On December 24th, The Gazette held a Christmas eve live to close out the year called [A HYMN OF THE CRUXIFIXION]. ^[14]

[edit] 2010

On March of 2010, the band embarked on "THE END OF STILLNESS" fan club only tour. ^[14]
After the fanclub tour, the band then announced another single that would be released on July 21, 2010 and a live tour, which is named "TOUR10 NAMELESS LIBERTY SIX BULLETS" starting in August.^[15] They will also release a new DVD with 10 PV's on it.

[edit] Musical Style

The Gazette's musical style varies greatly, but it is generally thought of to be a form of rock music while delving into the genres of heavy metal like "Ogre" and alternative metal like "Taion" and "The Invisible Wall". Songs like "Silly God Disco" and "Swallowtail on the Death Valley" feature a funk rock sound, while songs like "LEECH" and "Hyena" feature a hard rock sound. Other songs like "Maggots", "Discharge" and "Headache Man" dwell into heavier forms of music, in particular, metalcore. The Gazette also uses a wide range of synthesized sounds during their songs, including female voices, shown in songs such as "Filth in the Beauty," and "Leech". The Gazette tends to use dropped B tuning for heavier songs and one step down tuning for their ballads.^{[citation needed]}
Within all their heavy work, The Gazette has also produced a number of ballads, including "Nakigahara,", "Reila", "Guren", and "Cassis".

Setelah sebelumnya S/mileage dan Morning Musume mempunyai akun di Twitter, sekarang Mano Erina mempunyai akun twitter juga!!

Hal ini diumumkan di situs resminya Mano Erina, J.P. Room tempo hari yang lalu, meng-update halaman Mano Erina dengan menambahkan gambar profile ditambah pengumuman tentang twitter barunya.

Dalam situs resminya Mano Erina, tampak beberapa foto terbarunya. Tapi dalam situs tersebut hanya ditampilkan 2 video, yakni LOVE&PEACE=Paradise dari official UFA channel dan Haru no Arashi (Dance Ver) dari seorang akun fan. Adapun ID Tweet mano yang di lasir oleh blognya di JP Room Agency adalah sebagai berikut :

http://twitter.com/erina_mano

Mungkin dibandingkan dengan situs resmi S/mileage, situs ini masih belum bisa dibilang “wah” Simple namun menarik. Pengumuman akun Twitter ini memberikan sebuah cakwarala untuk mengenal tiap kegiatan yang Manoeri lakukan tiap harinya, jika di perhatikan seksama, pembukaan akun twitter inipun menjadi nilai lebih buat Manoeri

Maka bersiap-siaplah para penggemar Mano Erina!! Semakin mudah kita bisa dekat dengan idol favorit kita!. Diharapkan kebiasaan bertwitini bisa diikuti oleh seluruh artis Hello Project lainnya.

THE GazettE, mungkin di Indonesia tidak sefamilier L’Arc en Ciel. Tetapi di negara asalnya, dalam Best Japanese Rock Band, band yang didirikan Ruki (vokal), Uruha (gitar), Aoi (gitar), Reita (bas) dan Yune (drum) ini meraih posisi ke-3. Hal tersebut menjadi bukti kehebatan band yang terbentuk Maret 2002 ini.

Mengelana ke Negeri Sakura

2010-04-19T14:25:00.002+07:00

Berawal dari mana dulu ya … ehem …ehem … oke lah kalo begitu…
Suatu hari merantau seorang gadis muda bernama “Gaki Aita”, dari negeri Palembang – Indonesia , dia berjuang untuk merubah kehidupan nya di negeri seberang dan mencoba mencari pengalamaan di negeri seberang. Akhir nya sampai lah si gaki itu menemukan dermaga “Boom Baru” . disana dia menaiki kete’ itu menuju Negara Impian yaitu di negeri “Sakura” yang bernama “Jepang” .
Selama di perjalanan itu, si gaki mengamati pemandangan di luar sana, di pinggir kapal itu, dan gaki pun berkata “Wawww … Betapa indahnya laut itu. … ternyata perjalanan menempuh jarak hingga 1 tahun kemudian …
Akhirnya sampai lah si gaki di negeri impian nya “ Sakura, I’m coming” ….
Ketika sampai disana , apa yg harus ai lakukan ya ???” ai bingung. Bahasa jepang pun ai belum kuasai neh, ntar kalo di ajak ngobrol yang ada ai dibego kin sm tuh orang sana. Akhirnya ai berinisiatif menjadi manusia bisu bahasa. Ai pura-pura menjadi bisu, jadi kalo komunikasi sama orang jepang pake bahasa tubuh aja … Siiippp dah kalo begitu.
Akhirnya, karena 1 tahun didlm di kete’ dgn kondisi kerempeng. G ada makanan di kete’ . maka ku putuskan untuk pergi ke “Bento” di pinggiran jalan situ, untuk mencari sesuap nasi. Akhirnya ai mengemis di pinggiran jalan itu, untuk mendapatkan uang. Ett n sembarang ett neh . tiba-tiba muncul seseorang yang kayak nya ai kenal neh … yang muka nya udah familiar banget … tp tidak mungkin toh, masa si “Dia” makan di pinggiran jalan bersama temen-temen nya. Di dalam rombongan itu terdiri dari AOI, Uruha, Kai, Ruki n Reita. Kenapa mereka juga disini, ngapain neh mereka disini … nyempitin suasana aja neh … uda tau ai mo ngemis dulu,, ett dio orang pada asyik maen-maen disini, ai kan malu kalo tau penggemarnya jadi pengemis sementara. Akhirnya dengan rada cuek, ai tetep menjadi pengemis sementara, lalu menghampiri mereka, untuk minta sedekah. Akhirnya ku berani kan diri, lalu tiba-tiba, si Kai neh datang menghampiri ku, lalu dia bilang, untung aja mereka bisa bahasa Indonesia .. huuuahhh
Kai : “Neng datang dari mana neh ??”
Ai :”Datang dari negara seberang, BangKai .. di Negara empek-empek yg enak nian kalo dimakan pake cuka” .. dgn wajah memerah … Huuuahhhh
Kai :”apa tuh empek-empek,?? Kami dak kenal dgn makanan itu…
Ai : Enak pokoknya,
Karena sangking penasaran nya di Kai, lalu Kai menghampiri teman nya kembali, tapi yang bikin jengkel mereka tidak member ku uang untuk makan, lalu Kai pun menghampiri AOI dan dia bilang,
Kai :”Aoi, coba u Tanya tuh sama si gadis itu, apa itu mpek-mpek .
Aoi : untuk apa ??, males banget …
Kai : ayo lah, AOi … Please, dgn senyum kempotnya kepada AOi
Aoi : Baik lah,

Morning Musume

2009-06-23T07:45:00.003+07:00

Morning Musume (モーニング娘。, Mōningu Musume.^?) is a Japanese girl group, whose act generally revolves around singing and dancing to upbeat melodies. Sometimes referred to as Momusu (モー娘。, Mōmusu.^?), they are the lead group of Hello! Project, which is masterminded by Naoki Yamazaki^[1] and managed by producer Tsunku, who composes nearly all the lyrics and melodies of their songs. Currently, they hold the record of having the highest overall single sales (of a female group) on the Oricon charts.^[2]

Musume (娘^?), in this context, means girl. The group is particularly well-known for its ever fluctuating line-up, with "graduations" and auditions occurring nearly each year; however, 2008 was the only year so far in which no line-up changes occurred. Over the years, the group produced several splinter groups, and have often worked with other Hello! Project acts, which includes, but not limited to, Country Musume, Berryz Kobo, Melon Kinenbi, and v-u-den.

Since their expansion into the Chinese market in 2007, the group officially adopted the name Jou An Sao Nu Jou (Zao An Shao Nu Zu, Traditional Chinese:早安少女組。).

History

Japanese producer Tsunku started the group in 1997 through an audition for a female rock vocalist for his band Sharan Q. The audition was held on the Japanese TV show Asayan. The winner was Heike Michiyo, later to become a soloist under what would eventually become known as Hello! Project. However, Tsunku decided to form a girl group consisting of five of the runners-up: Yuko Nakazawa, Natsumi Abe, Kaori Iida, Asuka Fukuda, and Aya Ishiguro. They were issued a challenge to sell 50,000 copies of their demo single, "Ai no Tane," with just five days of promotion events. They managed the feat in four promotion days (spread out over November, 1997), in a very grassroots manner, and Tsunku began his mission to create the most famous all-girl group in Japan.

1998

In early 1998, the girls were ready with their first official single, "Morning Coffee."^[4] The success of this single (hitting #6 on the Japanese pop charts) brought them three new members known as the Second Generation: Kei Yasuda, Mari Yaguchi, and Sayaka Ichii, bringing the total member count to eight. The second single, Summer Night Town,^[5] was the first single of the new lineup—a mature pop tune about unsuccessfully attempting to hide one's true feelings. Their third single, "Daite Hold on Me!,"^[6] continued in the same vein musically as Summer Night Town, and managed to hit #1 on the charts. During this time, leader Nakazawa started her solo career.

First Time^[7] was released in July 1998, featuring the singles "Ai no Tane" and "Morning Coffee".

This year, Tsunku also formed Tanpopo, the first subgroup of Morning Musume, with Kaori Iida, Aya Ishiguro, and Mari Yaguchi. Tanpopo touted slower, more mature songs.

1999

1999 kicked off with the group's fourth single "Memory Seishun no Hikari,"^[8] failing to hit #1 but managing to snag #2 on Oricon (GLAY's "Winter, again" was #1 for the week, with 1st week sales of 955,780 copies, while Morning Musume's Memory Seishun no Hikari's was 195,720). The song contained a rap section and intense vocal harmonization on the girls parts. This was Asuka Fukuda's last single with Morning Musume, making her currently the shortest-lived member at 2 years. Asuka claimed that she was leaving in order to focus on her studies, only to drop out of school soon after.

"Manatsu no Kōsen"^[9] was released in May and was a summer tune. It went to #3 on the charts (the sales were halved from Memory Seishun no Hikari); Morning Musume's chart position was visibly lagging at this point in time, their sixth single, "Furusato,"^[10] only sealing the fact. "Furusato" was entirely sung by Natsumi Abe; the other members harmonizing discreetly. This single was #5, and the sales numbers were once again halved.

Second Morning^[11] was released in July 1999, and contained the singles "Daite Hold on Me!," "Memory Seishun no Hikari," "Manatsu no Kōsen," and "Furusato." "Daite Hold on Me!" and "Manatsu no Kōsen" were remixed.

Eager to add new life to the group, Tsunku held auditions for the Third Generation of Morning Musume. Expectations for the Third Generation audition were to admit two girls to the group, but ultimately only Maki Goto was added. Goto was thirteen when selected, making her the youngest member of Morning Musume at the time. The group's seventh single, "Love Machine,"^[12] sold 1,646,630 copies, making it a major hit; it is still their highest-selling single to date. The song touted an image of Japan as the future "envy of the world" and cheered the masses during a period of economic recession. It was Maki Goto's first single and Aya Ishiguro's last. Its wild success dramatically increased the popularity of the group.

Soon Goto was paired with Kei Yasuda and Sayaka Ichii to form the subgroup Petitmoni (also known as Pucchi Moni). Petitmoni's first single, "Chokotto Love," rivaled the success of "Love Machine," selling over 1,123,610 copies.

2000

The second event of 2000 was the creation of "shuffle units," in which all members of Tsunku's then 16-member family, Hello! Project, were shuffled around to form three one-time groups: Akagumi 4, Kiiro 5, and Aoiro 7. The idea was to battle for the highest single sales. This was achieved by Akagumi 4 which, to no surprise, boasted Maki Goto as the lead vocals.

In March, their third studio album, 3rd -Love Paradise-^[14] was released. Despite having "Love Machine" and "Koi no Dance Site" on its track list, it did not manage to claim the #1 spot, but did sell more than 800,000 copies, making it Morning Musume's highest-selling studio album to date.

This year also brought a new generation search. The Fourth Generation consisted of Rika Ishikawa, Hitomi Yoshizawa, Nozomi Tsuji, and Ai Kago, lending a completely different feel to the group by adding the 12-year-old duo of Tsuji and Kago. After their debut single, "Happy Summer Wedding,"^[15] (continuing the legacy of #1 hits with 990,950 copies sold,) Sayaka Ichii graduated to pursue her own music career. She became the vocalist of Japanese group Cubic Cross and later married fellow member Naoki Yoshizawa (no relation to Hitomi Yoshizawa).

With Ishiguro and Ichii gone, both Tanpopo and Petitmoni revised their lineups—Hitomi Yoshizawa joined Petitmoni, and Ai Kago and Rika Ishikawa were added to Tanpopo. Meanwhile, Mari Yaguchi had started performing informally with Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji in concerts as Mini Moni, a group tailored towards younger audiences with all the members being less than 150 cm (about 5 ft) tall. Mika Todd of Coconuts Musume was later added into the group and Tsunku made them official. Their debut single, "Minimoni Jankenpyon!," was a #1 hit on the Oricon.

As an idol group, they were extremely successful, drawing comparisons to the popularity of former girl idol group Speed. "I Wish"^[16] and "Renai Revolution 21"^[17] (Yuko Nakazawa's last single) continued the trend of happy pop songs becoming staple hits for the group. Morning Musume also began their tradition of performing in musicals each year, breaking new ground as idols with their hit musical, Love Century -Yume wa Minakerya Hajimaranai-.

2001

By July 2001 the string of #1 hits had yet to be broken with the release of the single "The Peace!."^[18] The Peace! was another somewhat bizarre pop tune, beginning with an almost fight song-like call and response, and featuring Rika Ishikawa as the lead. She had a dialog in the middle of the song, many solo lines, and took center in the dance and the cover shot. The promotional video echoed the song's strangeness by placing the group in the middle of what appeared to be a gigantic public bathroom, displaying the girls dancing amongst the urinals and posing for photographs in the stalls; supposedly as a response to hidden camera footage of the members that had recently surfaced, filmed from a toilet in their production offices.^[19]

At the end of January 2001, the best selling Hello!Project album to date, at 2,259,510 copies, was released: "Best! Morning Musume 1."^[20] It featured 15 tracks, the only original song being "Say Yeah! -Motto Miracle Night-."

At the end of 2001, four new members joined the group as the Fifth Generation through the audition "Love Audition 21:" Ai Takahashi, Asami Konno, Makoto Ogawa, and Risa Niigaki, bringing the roster to 13 girls. Their first single "Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~,"^[21] (done in the style of big band) featured Fourth Generation member Hitomi Yoshizawa as the central focus and main vocalist of the song.

2002

In February, "Souda! We're Alive,"^[22] another hit, was released. It featured many different styles combined into one song, centered on Mari Yaguchi.

In July 2002, "Do it! Now"^[23] was released. This single finally broke the line of #1 hits and came in at #3—a surprising fact to many, considering it was Maki Goto's last single.

Morning Musume's fourth studio album, 4th Ikimasshoi!^[24] was released in March 2002 after a two year wait. It is the first studio album from the group to reach #1 on Oricon. It featured the singles "Renai Revolution 21," (rerecorded with the current 13-person formation,) "The Peace!," (in a 'full', longer version,) "Mr. Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~," (with added dialog at the beginning,) and "Souda! We're Alive."

Late 2002 was marked by the graduation of Maki Goto and a mass re-shuffle of the sub-units. Tsunku removed Kaori Iida, Mari Yaguchi, and Ai Kago from Tanpopo, adding in Asami Konno, Risa Niigaki, and Ayumi Shibata of Melon Kinenbi to join Rika Ishikawa. Tanpopo only released one single with this lineup before the group was put on an indefinite hiatus status. Makoto Ogawa and Ayaka Kimura of Coconuts Musume joined Hitomi Yoshizawa in Petitmoni to replace Kei Yasuda and Maki Goto, but the group did not even release a single, only performing in concerts. Their song "Wow Wow Wow" was later released on the Hello! Project's compilation CD Petit Best 4. In Mini Moni, Mari Yaguchi was replaced by Ai Takahashi and the new lineup went on to put out several singles and a second album until member Mika Todd graduated in May 2004, adding Mini Moni to the list of "indefinite hiatus" subgroups.

In October "Koko ni Iruzee!"^[25] was released, a fast-paced, feel-good song about making the most of life and music's ability to unite the world. It was #1 on Oricon.

2003

April brought the notably successful single "As for One Day"^[27]—a synthesizer-driven song about lost love—which sold 129,893 copies and hit #1 in Oricon charts, and was the last time a Morning Musume single got #1 until "Aruiteru" (released late 2006). This single was the last for Kei Yasuda.

Before the Sixth Generation auditions were held, the group released the album No.5.^[28] It was unique in a few ways. It was the last studio album to feature Kei Yasuda and Natsumi Abe as full members of the group. It was also the first Morning Musume studio album to feature a former member, as Maki Goto guests on "Megami ~Mousse na Yasashisa~" and "Ganbacchae." It only featured two singles: "Do it! Now" and "Koko ni Iruzee!."

In mid-2003, four new girls were added as the Sixth Generation: Miki Fujimoto, Eri Kamei, Sayumi Michishige, and Reina Tanaka. After she pulled off a successful appearance on the New Year's music program "Kōhaku Uta Gassen" with several Morning Musume members dancing as backup, Tsunku also added in Miki Fujimoto (originally an up-and-coming solo singer under Hello! Project) as part of the Sixth Generation. Their debut concert was also Kei Yasuda's graduation concert, and Tsunku has said that this one-time 16-member group is the largest Morning Musume will ever be.

The Sixth Generation's first single was "Shabondama,"^[29] which featured "break-up" lyrics, a seemingly spontaneous dance routine, and rolled "r"s.

Mari Yaguchi became Morning Musume's sub-leader after Kei's graduation and was also put in charge of training and assisting the trainee group of Hello! Project Kids, eventually forming a group with 5 of them, known as ZYX.

Later in 2003, Morning Musume was split into two subgroups so that it could tour more cities (especially smaller cities that could not support a 15-member troupe). Morning Musume Sakuragumi, which focused on slower and more traditional love songs, included Natsumi Abe, Mari Yaguchi, Hitomi Yoshizawa, Ai Kago, Ai Takahashi, Risa Niigaki, Asami Konno and Eri Kamei. Morning Musume Otomegumi, which had more upbeat pop songs with a slight rock flavor, featured Kaori Iida, Rika Ishikawa, Nozomi Tsuji, Makoto Ogawa, Miki Fujimoto, Sayumi Michishige, and Reina Tanaka. Sakuragumi released two singles: "Hare Ame Nochi Suki" and "Sakura Mankai," and Otomegumi released two singles as well: "Ai no Sono ~Touch my Heart!~" and "Yūjō ~Kokoro no Busu ni wa Naranee!~."

The last single of Morning Musume in 2003 to feature the entire group was "Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~,"^[30] which had the members girlishly proclaiming the victory of their love.

2004

The group soon released another single, "Roman ~My Dear Boy~."^[32] The song showcased an almost rock flavor and centered its lyrics around offering "a dance" to a boy. This was followed by their twenty-third single, "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari,"^[33] which is unique in that it was actually about the Morning Musume girls themselves—each member got a verse about their personality. This song would later be remade several times as "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 2" and "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 3," included in their sixth and seventh album respectively. This single also marked the graduation of Fourth Generation members Nozomi Tsuji and Ai Kago in August, to focus on "W", their new duo group.

In mid-2004, Morning Musume's second best-of album, Best! Morning Musume 2^[34] was released and featured "Yah! Aishitai" as the only new track. It had a lukewarm reception at best, compared to their first best-of compilation.

Seventh Generation auditions (named "Lucky 7" to commemorate the Seventh Generation, the seventh year of Morning Musume, and seven auditioning locations across Japan) were held in various Japan cities in late 2004, resulting in six finalists. However, on January 9, 2005, Tsunku surprised everyone by announcing that no one in the Lucky 7 audition would be added to Morning Musume, citing that he had set his expectations extra-high this year in hopes of finding an "ace." This was the first time an audition had ended with no new members.

In November 2004, Morning Musume released "Namida ga Tomaranai Hōkago,"^[35] a ballad that featured Asami Konno, Sayumi Michishige, and Rika Ishikawa.

Following this single Morning Musume Early Single Box^[36] was released. It was a 9-CD set containing their first eight singles with a bonus track on each one, as well as a karaoke CD of some of their more popular tunes from the early years.

Finally, at the end of 2004, the group's yearly album was released. Their sixth studio album, named Ai no Dai 6 Kan,^[37] hit stores in December. It contained three singles: "Roman ~My Dear Boy~," "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari," and "Namida ga Tomaranai Hōkago." This was Ai Kago, Nozomi Tsuji, Kaori Iida, Mari Yaguchi, and Rika Ishikawa's last credited studio album.

2005

On January 30, 2005 - then-leader and last First Generation member Kaori Iida graduated to pursue a solo singer/artist career, with Mari Yaguchi taking on leadership role with Hitomi Yoshizawa as subleader. Her last single was "The Manpower!!!,"^[38] which sung about the abilities of the human race and was also the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles theme song. The beginning of 2005 also saw the beginning of Musume Document 2005, which covered behind-the-scenes material, historical footage, and interviews.

In February 2005, Tsunku started another audition for Morning Musume's Seventh Generation. He noted that he was still intent on finding an "ace." This audition resulted with Koharu Kusumi finally being chosen as the sole "miracle" member of the new generation.

On April 10, 2005, photos were taken of Mari Yaguchi with Shun Oguri (scheduled to be published in a gossip magazine Friday! on the 15th). On April 14, 2005, Yaguchi announced that she would "retire" from Morning Musume and would continue on with solo activities. In her public statement, Yaguchi said that due to the scandal and its publicity, she could no longer sustain an "idol" image befitting of Morning Musume. Because of the nature of her departure (resignation rather than graduation), Yaguchi did not receive a graduation concert. Sub-leader Hitomi Yoshizawa took over as the leader of Morning Musume, and Miki Fujimoto became sub-leader as of July 15, 2005.

Just days after Yaguchi resigned, on April 27, 2005, the group's twenty-sixth single, "Osaka Koi no Uta"^[39] was released. The final version featured Yaguchi still, presumably because they did not have enough time to rerecord and remix it. The lyrics are in an Osaka dialect. This single was also Rika Ishikawa's last. She graduated on May 7, 2005 to assume full-time leadership of the Hello! Project trio known as v-u-den.

Kusumi's first single with Morning Musume was July's "Iroppoi Jirettai,"^[40] a flamenco styled song, which was considered to be the biggest hit of the year—selling around 20,000 more copies than anything else. A 3 city handshake event was organized for the promotion of this single.

Morning Musume's last single of 2005 was "Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookiizo!~,"^[41] which was a remake of a previous album-only song about the importance of using your intuition and not taking good things for granted. "Koi wa Hassō Do The Hustle!" was going to be the title track for the single, but due to poor preview results, became the coupling track instead.

On December 31, 2005, graduated Morning Musume members Mari Yaguchi, Kaori Iida, Natsumi Abe, Yuko Nakazawa, Ai Kago, Nozomi Tsuji, Rika Ishikawa, Maki Goto, and Kei Yasuda joined the current lineup of Morning Musume to perform the band's signature hit "Love Machine" on the 2005/2006 edition of Kōhaku Uta Gassen.^[42] The performance was Yaguchi's first since leaving Morning Musume eight and a half months earlier.

2006

In February, the group released their seventh studio album, Rainbow 7.^[45] It was the first album for Kusumi and the last for Konno and Ogawa. The album features "The Manpower!!!," "Osaka Koi no Uta," "Iroppoi Jirettai," and "Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookiizo!~" (in a remixed form). Kaori Iida, Rika Ishikawa and Mari Yaguchi are not credited anywhere in the liner notes although their vocals appear. Three of the songs on the album are performed by smaller clusters of several group members, and are credited in the liner notes to the featured members involved, rather than to the entire group.

In March 2006, "Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~" was released. It featured an easy-to-learn dance and a parapara style. It was considered to be a relative success.

On April 28, 2006, it was announced by Tsunku from his official website that Fifth Generation members Asami Konno and Makoto Ogawa were going to graduate. Konno graduated on July 23, 2006 to attend University and Ogawa graduated on August 27, 2006 to study English abroad. Both left Morning Musume, but only Konno left Hello! Project entirely; Ogawa intended to return after completing her studies, and is still pictured as a soloist on Hello! Project's official website.^[46]^[47]^[48] However, as of 2007, Konno returned to Hello! Project to join the new group Ongaku Gatas, making it the first time ever that a girl who left Hello! Project actually returned. She will remain an active member within the agency and Ongaku Gatas while continuing her university studies. Ogawa, on the other hand, returned in June 2008 by appearing on an episode of Morning Musume's television show Haromoni@.

Konno and Ogawa's last single was "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan",^[49] which, yet again, featured a parapara type arrangement, with a rock 'n' roll flair. It was the group's 30th single, and a limited-edition CD of all past 30 singles mixed into a thirteen-minute track was included on the first pressing. Unfortunately, sales did not add up to the hype or the significance, and Ambitious! clocked in as Morning Musume's lowest-selling single yet.

In mid-2006, the group performed the musical Ribbon no Kishi. Ai Takahashi took the main role; the secondary role was played by alternating members. There was also a mini-concert at the end of each performance, which served as Ogawa's real "graduation concert"—the Wonderful Hearts 2006 concert was initially intended for Konno's graduation only, although Ogawa wore a special outfit and read her graduation comments as well. (A last minute decision that fans were unaware of before the concert began). As for Ribbon no Kishi, an album with a selection of songs was released: Ribbon no Kishi The Musical Song Selection.^[50]

Also in mid-2006, the Eighth Generation audition for Morning Musume was announced by Tsunku, called Morning Musume Happy 8 Audition. The audition started on August 27, 2006 and ended in Tokyo on October 22, 2006. On December 10, 2006's Hello! Morning, it was announced that the only new member was Aika Mitsui.^[51] The show had a piece of audition footage each week leading up to December 10, 2006.

The last single release of 2006 was "Aruiteru,"^[52] which was a huge hit. It was the first single at the #1 spot after 3½ years (their last #1 hit being "As for One Day.") The song's lyrics were credited for its success, with lines like "walking, you're not alone because everyone's here with you, praying for peace."^[53] It was a bit of a turn from the hyperactive singles the group had been releasing. Tsunku's group, Sharan Q, also made a rock cover of this song.

Their first mini-album, 7.5 Fuyu Fuyu Morning Musume Mini!,^[54] was released in December. It featured five tracks by solo and/or smaller combinations of band members. It also featured the single "Aruiteru."

2007

On January 2, 2007, an announcement was made during Hello! Project's 2007 Winter concert: the group's leader up until then, Hitomi Yoshizawa would graduate from Morning Musume on May 6, 2007, the last day of Morning Musume's 2007 spring tour. The concert was at the Saitama Super Arena, in Yoshizawa's hometown of Saitama.^[56]

In February, the first single with Eighth Generation member Aika Mitsui was released, "Egao Yes Nude."^[57] This was the first PV of Morning Musume to appear on the Dohhh!Up site (a streaming website of Hello! Project media). The single went up against tougher competition than "Aruiteru" had, only landing them a #4 spot, although it sold relatively the same number of copies. The song has a funky, disco feel, and is highly-reminiscent of some of the oldest songs of Morning Musume, most notably Summer Night Town.

On the March 11, 2007 edition of the weekly TV show Hello! Morning, producer Tsunku revealed he would make an important announcement the following episode. Several days later, on March 15, he announced that two other Eighth Generation members would be joining the group—Li Chun and Qian Lin, both Chinese nationals, were to join as "exchange students."^[58] Tsunku stated the two new members would be an important key for their group's planned expansion into Asia and gave them the stage names "Junjun" and "Linlin" respectively. The two made their stage debut on May 6, at Saitama Super Arena, during current leader Yoshizawa's graduation.^[59] This is notable, as they are the first non-Japanese members of the group.

On March 21, 2007 the group's eighth studio album, Sexy 8 Beat was released.^[60] It was the first album for Aika Mitsui and the last album for Hitomi Yoshizawa and Miki Fujimoto. It featured the singles "Aruiteru," "Egao Yes Nude," "Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~," and "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan."

In late April, Morning Musume released their 33rd single, "Kanashimi Twilight."^[61] The song style was a huge departure from almost anything Morning Musume had released prior to it, displaying a loud, rock arrangement and the angriest lyrics since Shabondama.

With the success of Kanashimi Twilight, on May 1, 2007, Morning Musume became the "Best Single Selling Female Group in Japan" with 11,085,000 copies sold—their fifth Oricon record. The achievement surpasses the previous record set by Pink Lady of 11,037,000 copies sold.^[2]

On May 6, 2007, Hitomi Yoshizawa graduated. Miki Fujimoto took her place as leader and Ai Takahashi replaced Fujimoto as sub-leader.

As of June 1, 2007, Miki Fujimoto resigned from Morning Musume, due to the tabloid magazine Friday running an article depicting Fujimoto and comedian Tomoharu Shoji in a relationship.^[62]^[63] Ai Takahashi replaced Fujimoto as leader (a position the latter occupied for the briefest period in the band's history—26 days), and Risa Niigaki became subleader.

Morning Musume's 34th single Onna ni Sachi Are was released on July 25, 2007. It features the debut of new Eighth Generation members from China Junjun and Linlin. This was the first time that girls from another country entered the group. The single reached #2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, with sales of 43,364 copies.

On October 26, 2007, Ai Takahashi, Risa Niigaki, and Koharu Kusumi visited Korea to promote their singles collection album Morning Musume All Singles Complete ~10th Anniversary~, which was released on October 24, 2007.^[64] Also, Takahashi and Niigaki appeared as special guests in a Korean radio show called Maybee's Turn Up the Volume (메이비의 볼륨을 높여요). Later that same month, on October 29, 2007, all nine members traveled to Taiwan for three days to promote the album.^[65] This was the first time Morning Musume held a non-Fan Club promotional event as a group outside of Japan. During their visit, they attended press conferences, appeared for radio and TV show recordings, and held the first-ever public handshaking event outside of Japan.^[66]

November 21, 2007 marked the release of Morning Musume's 35th single, "Mikan". Initial sales were poor for the song, which became the group's lowest-selling single, (even lower than the initial indies release of "Ai no Tane", which sold 50,000 copies), both in terms of first week sales and absolute sales figures. As a result, unlike all previous singles, Mikan failed to appear on Oricon's Top 5 Chart, breaking the group's previously held record.

On December 31, 2007, Morning Musume performed in the 58th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with a remixed version of their song "Love Machine" along with °C-ute and Berryz Kobo. Similar to the previous Kōhaku, the red team (females) lost to the white team (males) after attaining votes from the viewers and judges.

2008

Ai Takahashi, Eri Kamei, Sayumi Michishige, and Reina Tanaka participated in the musical Ojigi 30 Degrees at the Shinjuku Theater from February 26 until March 2. Morning Musume's 36th music single, "Resonant Blue," had been announced for release on March 5, 2008 but was postponed until April 16, 2008 because of the group's busy schedule during the Winter/early Spring season. Multiple promotional videos were released to stimulate sales. With the original, Another ver., a Studio Dance Shot version, a Night Scene version, and a One-cut Dance version, it makes the most PVs ever released for one single. Also notable is the smoky eye make-up used on the members, a daring new look for Morning Musume as they attempt to expand into Asia.

The group held a concert at Taipei Nankang Exhibition Hall, Taiwan on May 24, 2008. This was their first time ever to have a concert outside Japan.

On April 5, 2008, Morning Musume’s Aika Mitsui complained of a stomachache after the concert performed at Hachiōji Citizen Hall. After a medical examination, she was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and must rest for two weeks. Mitsui missed the April 12 and April 13 Morning Musume concerts due to her condition.^[67]

"Resonant Blue" was released on April 16, 2008. This marked the release of the group's 36th single after it was delayed due to the group's hectic schedule. The single debuted at #2 and finished third in the Oricon Weekly ranking. Overall, this single marked a rebound from poor sales of their previous single, "Mikan." In its first week, it sold 48,086 copies, 20,004 copies more than "Mikan" and around 5,000 more copies than Onna ni Sachi Are.

From August 6, 2008 through August 25, Morning Musume performed with several members of the all-female Takarazuka theatre troupe in a version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Ai Takahashi starred in the main role of Cinderella, with Risa Niigaki as the Prince, and Eri Kamei and Reina Tanaka as the stepsisters. The other members participated as fairies and guards.

Morning Musume's 37th single, "Pepper Keibu",^[68] was released on September 24, 2008. Unlike past singles (with the exception of Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyōtanjima), this song is actually a cover of Pink Lady's debut single, released in 1976. Sales figures for the first week after its release indicate Morning Musume sold approximately 10,000 copies less than Resonant Blue and 10,000 copies more than Mikan.

Berikyū! and Haromoni@ finished their run and both are replaced with Yorosen! (よろセン!^?). It started on October 6, 2008. The show stars Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, and ℃-ute.^[69]

2008 was the first year in which there were no changes in Morning Musume's lineup.

2009

Morning Musume released their 38th single on February 18, 2009. This was their first single of 2009, titled "Naichau Kamo". The title is translated to "I Might Cry" and was released in two limited versions A and B, each including a DVD.^[70] On March 18, 2009 they released their ninth studio album called Platinum 9 Disc (プラチナ 9 DISC^?).^[71]

In March 2009, all Morning Musume singles and albums (past and present) became available through JapanFiles.com via digital MP3 format in the United States, Canada and Mexico. It started with "Naichau Kamo" and the simultaneous Japan and USA release of their 9th album Platinum 9 Disc on March 18.^[72] Japanfiles hopes to also sell Morning Musume CD's and Merchandise later this year as well.

Morning Musume released their 39th single, "Shōganai Yume Oibito", on May 13, 2009,^[73] attaining a rank of #1 on the Oricon weekly chart, the first time since their "Aruiteru" single in late 2006.^[74] It also became the group's first #1 single to feature 8th generation members Aika Mitsui, Junjun, and Linlin.^[75]

Following the success of Shōganai Yume Oibito^[76], the group has been scheduled to release their 40th single on August 5th, which is the third single in 2009.

Kago Ai interview with Yahoo! Japan

2009-05-17T14:31:00.003+07:00

	Written by B.Slade & Kuno, updated: 21:07, 21-Apr 2009

	In this interview published yesterday, Kago talks about her movie "Kung Fu Chefs", her upcoming role in the next installment of the "Ju-On" franchise, and her plans to release new music soon

Q: Please tell us your impressions from the time you found out you'd be in a Hong Kong movie, up until when you actually filmed it.
Kago: Okay. I'd only just made my show business return, and I was trying to decide what kind of work I should be doing, when I was told about "Kung Fu Chefs". I'd never been to Hong Kong, for work or for pleasure, and it would be a month-long stay instead of just 2 or 3 days. Everything would be a new experience for me, so I couldn't help being uncertain at first (lol).

Q: It would be your major movie debut, and your first time doing action work, right?
Kago: That's right. Right after I arrived in Hong Kong, I had 3 days off. So I started practicing for the action scenes and taking the time to get used to the city. I went to a lot of places in those 3 days, and experienced a lot of things. I think I absorbed a lot of Hong Kong culture. If you just honk your horn once there, the people are very polite (lol)

Q: What was it like when it came time to actually film your action scenes?
Kago: Action is just like dance, since you have to learn the choreography first. Once you've got that down, you know how you're supposed to move, and the most important thing is being able to act while doing the moves! But because it happens so quickly, I was always forgetting. I'm unathletic and bad with directions (lol), so it was tough for me. But I learnt a lot on the set.

Q: Because it was your comeback work, did you think of it as something you had to be enthusiastic with?
Kago: Yeah. But not just my comeback work "Kung Fu Chefs". I'm enthusiastic about any work I do now. When I went to Hong Kong for it, I knew nobody would know me overseas, so I had to make myself a representative of Japan. Everybody there was so professional, so that was a big incentive.

Q: Did Hong Kong movie legend Sammo Hung give you any advice?
Kago: I was lucky to see his action scenes being filmed live just before my own action scenes, but because we couldn't communicate with words, we didn't really mix at first. So in the beginning, I just watched every take of him being filmed, and he never seemed to get tired! You can really feel his aura just by watching his movies, but he was even more amazing in person!

Q: Were there any interesting episodes with the hot young actor Vanness Wu?
Kago: While we were filming, Vanness Wu was always drawing. I don't know if he's any good, but his drawings have character (lol). He seemed to be working hard on his drawings every day, but depending on the day, they'd always come out differently (lol). One day I asked him about it, and he explained it was a picture of a hand coming out of a leaf. I drew a picture of an elephant beside it, but it felt like on that day, Vanness Wu expressed the way he was feeling in his picture (lol)

Q: Apart from the difficulties of doing an action movie, do you have lots of fun memories from it?
Kago: A lot of it was hard, bet there were fun times, too. In the dressing room area, we'd all get together and watch Sammo Hung's movies. But sometimes when he left the room, we watch something else on TV instead (lol) But we'd always watch music shows when Vanness Wu's F4 came on. Everybody had a good time! Sometimes Japanese TV shows would be on, and shows with me singing (lol)

Q: With all those memories from "Kung Fu Chefs", what were your impressions when your first got to watch it?
Kago: It was different from the script and story I'd been given at first, and the ending was changed a little. There were some scenes that weren't included, and it didn't follow the script exactly, so that was a surprise. But it was a strange feeling. It was strange seeing myself in a movie, and I tried to watch objectively at first. I just watched the cooking and everyday scenes silently, and it really touched my heart! I think there's a lot of humanity packed into the movie, and it really turned out great.

Q: How did it feel having your first work since your comeback overseas instead of in Japan?
Kago: It would sound really cool if I said it was great, but looking back now, I think it was a good thing that my first comeback job was in Hong Kong. I could keep on being myself, which maybe I couldn't do in Japan (lol). And going overseas, nobody knows who I am. That let me live my life in a way even I didn't know I could. It's really strange. There's no need for a Kago Ai overseas, so I can be coloured by each country. I want to be coloured by them. I want to absorb everything.

Q: Please tell us your dreams, hopes, and goals for your future show business work.
Kago: Right now I want to earn the title "actor". The other day I acted a part in a horror movie coming out in summer, the new film in the "Ju-on" series! I thought at the time that I had horror acting ability. You have to be able to act scared of something that isn't there. As it happened, when I had to make a lot of noise, the other actors and the staff all encouraged me, and I overcame it with power. It was tough, but I had a lot of fun.

Q: Do you feel like you've learnt something about acting from "Kung Fu Chefs" or the new "Ju-on" movie?
Kago: Before filming starts, before I start acting, I write down a detailed analysis of my personality in a notebook. Then I analyse the character I'm going to be playing. Then I compare to see which parts are like me, and which parts aren't and write out what needs to change. I think that's a good idea. I got more confident after "Kung Fu Chefs", so I want to take this chance to work hard as a movie actor.

Q: You're planning to sing songs produced by Nakanishi Keizou, so it sounds like you've got a lot of activity ahead of you!
Kago: Yeah. The songs will be released in June. But because I'm creating something writing these songs, I don't think it's enough to just be satisfied with it myself. So when the fans receive it, I want to hear all the good and bad impressions of it. It's just like at a restaurant (lol). You want to hear all different viewpoints and impressions, from delicious to awful. I want to keep on growing as an actor, but a also want to be someone who can do anything in the future.

Israeli troops invade Gaza; lengthy fight expected

2009-01-04T09:36:00.000+07:00

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Thousands of Israeli troops backed by columns of tanks and helicopter gunships launched a ground offensive in Gaza Saturday night, with officials saying they expected a lengthy fight in the densely populated territory after eight days of punishing airstrikes failed to halt militant rocket attacks on Israel.

The incursion set off fierce clashes with Palestinian militants and Gaza's Hamas rulers vowed the coastal strip would be a "graveyard" for Israelis forces.

"This will not be easy and it will not be short," Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on national television about two hours after ground troops moved in.

The night sky over Gaza was lit by the flash of bullets and balls of fire from tank shells. Sounds of explosions were heard across Gaza City, the territory's biggest city, and high-rise buildings shook from the bigger booms.

Troops with camouflage face paint marching single file. As the ground troops moved in, Israel kept pounding Gaza with airstrikes. F-16 warplanes hit three targets within a few minutes, including a main Hamas security compound.

Witnesses in Gaza said that in the first phase, Israeli ground forces had moved several hundred yards inside Gaza. Israeli security officials said initial clashes with militants took place in open fields and soldiers did not immediately move into Gaza's crowded cities, where warfare would likely get much deadlier.

"We have many, many targets," Israeli army spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovich told CNN. "To my estimation, it will be a lengthy operation."

Israeli leaders said the operation, known as Cast Lead, was meant to quell militant rocket and mortar fire on southern Israel. They said it would not end quickly but that the objective was not to reoccupy Gaza or topple Hamas. The depth and intensity will depend in part on parallel diplomatic efforts that so far haven't yielded a truce proposal acceptable to Israel, the officials said.

In the airborne phase of Israel's onslaught, militants were not deterred from bombarding southern Israel with more than 400 rockets — including dozens that extended deeper into Israel than ever before. They fired six rockets into Israel in the first few hours after the ground push began, the military said.

One rocket scored a direct hit on a house in the southern city of Ashkelon earlier Saturday and another struck a bomb shelter there, leaving its above-ground entrance scarred by shrapnel and blasting a parked bus.

"I don't want to disillusion anybody and residents of the south will go through difficult days," Barak said. "We do not seek war but we will not abandon our citizens to the ongoing Hamas attacks."

Israel called up tens of thousands of reservists in the event Palestinian militants in the West Bank or Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon decide to exploit the broad offensive in Gaza to launch attacks against Israel on other fronts.

The military said the country's north was on high alert in case Hezbollah guerillas decided to use its vast stockpiles of missiles against Israel. Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war in the summer of 2006.

White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said U.S. officials have been in regular contact with the Israelis as well as officials from countries in the region and Europe.

"We continue to make clear to them our concerns for civilians, as well as the humanitarian situation," Johndroe said.

The U.N. Security Council scheduled emergency consultations Saturday night on the escalation in Gaza. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged key world leaders to intensify efforts to achieve an immediate truce including international monitors to enforce a truce and possibly to protect Palestinian civilians.

Israel's bruising air campaign against Gaza over the past eight days began days after a six-month truce expired. Gaza health officials say the air war has killed more than 480 Palestinians in an attempt to halt Hamas rocket attacks that were reaching farther into Israel than ever before. Four Israelis have been killed by rockets.

Israel is taking a risk by wading into intense urban warfare in densely populated Gaza that could exact a much higher toll on both sides and among civilians.

This sort of urban warfare has not gone well in past campaigns where Israel sent ground forces into Arab population centers in the Palestinian territories or in Lebanon wars in 1982 and 2006. Israeli forces have either gotten bogged down or sustained heavy casualties, without quelling violent groups or halting attacks for good.

The decision to expand the operation, while continuing to batter Gaza from the air and sea, was taken after Hamas refused to stop attacking Israel, government officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions leading up to wartime decisions are confidential.

Before the ground incursion began, heavy Israeli artillery fire hit east of Gaza City, in locations where the military said Hamas fighters were deployed. The artillery shells were apparently intended to detonate Hamas explosive devices and mines planted along the border area before troops marched in.

Hamas remained defiant as the ground war began.

"You entered like rats," Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan told Israeli soldiers in a statement on Hamas' Al Aqsa TV, broadcast shortly after the start of the invasion. "Your entry to Gaza won't be easy. Gaza will be a graveyard for you, God willing," he said.

"Gaza will not be paved with flowers for you. It will be paved with fire and hell," Hamas warned Israeli forces.

A text message sent by Hamas' military wing, Izzedine al-Qassam, said "the Zionists started approaching the trap which our fighters prepared for them." Hamas said it also broadcast a Hebrew message on Israeli military radio frequencies promising to kill and kidnap the Israeli soldiers.

"Be prepared for a unique surprise, you will be either killed or kidnapped and will suffer mental illness from the horrors we will show you," the message said.

Hamas has also threatened to resume suicide attacks inside Israel.

Hamas has long prepared for Israel's invasion, digging tunnels and rigging some areas with explosives. At the start of the offensive, Israeli artillery hit some of the border areas, apparently to detonate hidden explosives.

Before the ground invasion, defense officials said about 10,000 Israeli soldiers had massed along the border in recent days.

Israel initially held off on a ground offensive, apparently in part because of concern about casualties among Israeli troops and because of fears of getting bogged down in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said his government decided to mount a land operation despite the risk it posed to thousands of soldiers.

An inner Cabinet of top ministers met with leading security officials for four hours Saturday before deciding to authorize the ground invasion.

Olmert told the meeting that Israel's objective was to bring quiet to southern Israel but "we don't want to topple Hamas," a government official quoted the prime minister as saying. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not supposed to share the information.

The immediate aim of the ground operations was to take control of sites militants use as rocket-launching pads, the military said. It said large numbers of troops were taking part but did not give specifics.

Israeli airstrikes intensified just as the ground operation was getting under way, and 28 Palestinians were killed. Palestinian health officials said civilians were among the dead, including a woman, her son and her father who died after a shell hit their house.

One raid hit a mosque in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, killing 13 people and wounding 33, according to a Palestinian health official. One of the wounded worshippers, Salah Mustafa, told Al-Jazeera TV from a hospital that the mosque was packed.

"It was unbelievably awful," he said, struggling to catch his breath.

It was not immediately clear why the mosque was hit, but Israel has hit other mosques in its air campaign and said they were used for storing weapons.

Israeli artillery joined the battle for the first time earlier on Saturday. Artillery fire is less accurate than attacks from the air using precision-guided munitions, raising the possibility of a higher number of civilian casualties.

An artillery shell hit a house in Beit Lahiya, killing two people and wounding five, said members of the family living there. Ambulances could not immediately reach them because of the resulting fire, they said.

Resident Abed al-Ghoul said the Israeli army called by phone to tell them to leave the house within 15 minutes.

The ground operation sidelined intense international diplomacy to try to reach a truce. French President Nicolas Sarkozy was the visit the region next week, and U.S. President George W. Bush favors an internationally monitored truce.

Israel has already said it wants international monitors. It is unclear whether Hamas would agree to such supervision, which could limit its control of Gaza.

In Hamas' first reaction to the proposal for international monitors, government spokesman Taher Nunu said early Saturday that the group would not allow Israel or the international community to impose any arrangement, though he left the door open to a negotiated solution.

"Anyone who thinks that the change in the Palestinian arena can be achieved through jet fighters' bombs and tanks and without dialogue is mistaken," he said.

Hamas began to emerge as Gaza's main power broker when it won Palestinian parliamentary elections three years ago. It has ruled the impoverished territory of 1.4 million people since seizing control from the rival Fatah forces of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in June 2007.

Israel occupied Gaza for 38 years before pulling out thousands of soldiers in settlers in late 2005. Israel still controls Gaza border crossings.

Untuk Ibu

2008-12-24T08:53:00.000+07:00

Kunyanyikan sebuah lagu untukmu Ibu

Sebagai wujud terima kasihku kepadamu
Tanpa lelah kau bejuang membesarkanku
Berikan yang terbaik untukku

Izinkanlah tanganmu kucium
dan kubersujud dipangkuanmu
Temukan kedamaian di hangat pelukmu

Di dalam hatiku yakin serta percaya
Pada kekuatan doa yang engkau titipkan
Lewat Tuhan membuat semangat
bila diri ini rapuh dan tiada berdaya
*

Ada surga di telapak kakimu
Betapa besar arti dirimu
Buka pintu maafmu
Saat kulukai hatimu
Ada surga di telapak kakimu
Lambangkan mulianya dirimu
Hanya lewat restumu terbuka pintu ke surga
Kasih sayang mu bergitu tulus
Kau cahaya di hidupku
Tiada seorangpun yang dapat menggantimu
Back to *
(Lagu by Gita Gutawa)

Agungnya Allah menilaimu hingga surga pun berada di telapak kakimu.
Kerapkali ku melukai hatimu namun maafmu selalu terpancar penuh
kelembutan dan kesabaran. Ibu…kekuatanmu bukan berada pada kuatnya fisik
melainkan pada dinginnya tanganmu dan tulusnya hati serta pikiran yang
optimis untuk membangun bahtera rumah tangga yang telah dirintis bersama
sang suami. Keteladananmu terpancar dari kata-kata cinta yang terurai
indah dibarengi air mata dalam doa-doamu yang engkau titipkan kepada
sang Rabb.
Ibu…Engkau memang bukan Tatcher Margareth yang mampu memimpin sebuah
Negara. Engkau juga bukan bunda Theresa yang mampu mendapatkan Nobel
perdamaian. Bagiku, Engkau adalah wanita biasa yang luarrrr biasa dengan
semua kelebihanmu, yang dalam keanggunanmu terpancar aura keperkasaanmu.

” Ibu..i’m proud to be your daughter”

Hanya untaian doa yang mampu ananda panjatkan untukmu Ibu. Semoga Allah
selalu menjagamu dalam kebaikan dan kita kembali dipertemukan dalam
sebuah keluarga di JannahNya. Amiin..

Dedicated to all of mothers on the world

BerBekam (Al-Hijamah)

2008-12-22T13:22:00.000+07:00

Bekam atau hijamah berarti torehan darah. Dan dalam masyarakat Melayu, bekam lebih dikenal sebagai pembuangan darah. Dalam masyarakat Indonesia, terutama masyarakat Jawa lebih mengenalnya dengan nama ngekop (berasal dari bahasa Inggris = cupping).

Dalam ilmu kedokteran Islam, bekam tidak boleh sembarang dilakukan. Bekam hanya boleh dilakukan pada pembekuan / penyumbatan dalam pembuluh darah, karena fungsi bekam yang sesungguhnya adalah untuk mengeluarkan darah kotor dari dalam tubuh.

Bekam merupakan pengobatan yang dicontohkan oleh Rasulullah SAW. Dari Ibnu Abbas r.a. Rasulullah bersabda : "Kesembuhan (obat) itu ada pada tiga hal; dengan minum madu, pisau hijamah (bekam), dan dengan besi panas. Dan aku melarang ummatku dengan besi panas." (Hadist Bukhori).

Madu menjadi dasar dari obat-obatan herba, bekam menjadi dasar kepada pembedahan, sedangkan besi panas (api) menjadi dasar kepada pengobatan melalui laser.

Hadist yang diriwayatkan oleh Tarmidzi menyatakan, bahwa Rasul SAW mengarahkan pengikut-pengikutnya menggunakan bekam sebagai kaedah pengobatan penyakit. Beliau memuji orang yang berbekam, "Dia membuang darah yang kotor, meringankan tubuh serta menajamkan penglihatan."

Dalam kaitan untuk membersihkan diri ini, Allah mengkhususkan satu bulan dalam satu tahun untuk berpuasa (di bulan Ramadhan) sebagai salah satu jalan untuk menyucikan rohani. Dan berbekam merupakan salah satu cara untuk menyucikan atau membersihkan jasmani

Jenis Bekam

Bekam kering atau bekam angin (Hijamah Jaaffah), yaitu menghisap permukaan kulit dan memijat tempat sekitarnya tanpa mengeluarkan darah kotor. Bekam kering ini berkhasiat untuk melegakan sakit secara darurat atau digunakan untuk meringankan kenyerian urat-urat punggung karena sakit rheumatik, juga penyakit-penyakit penyebab kengerian punggung. Bekam kering baik bagi orang yang tidak tahan suntikan jarum dan takut melihat darah. Kulit yang di-bekam akan tampak merah kehitam-hitaman selama 3 hari. Dan Insya Allah sangat baik diolesi minyak Syifa Habbassauda dari SALWA untuk menghilangkan tanda lebam pada kulit yang selesai di-bekam.

Bekam basah (Hijamah Rothbah), yaitu pertama kita melakukan bekam kering, kemudian kita melukai permukaan kulit dengan jarum tajam (lancet), lalu di sekitarnya dihisap dengan alat cupping set dan hand pump untuk mengeluarkan darah kotor dari dalam tubuh. Lamanya setiap hisapan 3 sampai 5 menit, dan maksimal 9 menit, lalu dibuang darah kotornya. Penghisapan tidak lebih dari 7 kali hisapan. Darah kotor berupa darah merah pekat dan berbuih. Insya Allah bekasnya (kulit yang lebam) akan hilang 3 hari kemudian setelah diolesi minyak Syifa Habbassauda dari SALWA. Dan selama 3 jam setelah di-bekam, kulit yang lebam itu tidak boleh disiram air. Jarak waktu pengulangan bekam pada tempat yang sama adalah 3 minggu.

Sebaiknya berbekam dilakukan pada pertengahan bulan, karena darah kotor berhimpun dan lebih terangsang (darah sedang pada puncak gejolak). Anas bin Malik r.a. menceritakan bahwa : "Rasulullah SAW biasa melakukan hijamah pada pelipis dan pundaknya. Beliau melakukannya pada hari ketujuhbelas, kesembilanbelas atau keduapuluhsatu." (Diriwayatkan oleh Ahmad).
Pemilihan waktu bekam adalah sebagai tindakan preventif untuk menjaga kesehatan dan penjagaan diri terhadap penyakit. Adapun untuk pengobatan penyakit, maka harus dilakukan kapan pun pada saat dibutuhkan. Dalam hal ini Imam Ahmad melakukan bekam pada hari apa saja ketika diperlukan. Hal ini berdasarkan ucapan Rasulullah SAW : "Jangan sampai mengalami ketidakstabilan darah, karena itu bisa mematikan."
Imam asy-Syuyuthi menukil pendapat Ibnu Umar, bahwa berbekam dalam keadaan perut kosong itu adalah paling baik karena dalam hal itu terdapat kesembuhan. Maka disarankan bagi yang hendak berbekam untuk tidak makan-makanan berat 2-3 jam sebelumnya.

Orang-orang yang tidak boleh di-bekam :

Bayi hingga anak usia 3 tahun.
Orang tua renta yang sakit tanpa daya dan upaya.
Penderita tekanan darah sangat rendah (dianjurkan minum Hersida dari SALWA).
Penderita sakit kudis.
Penderita diabetes mellitus (dianjurkan minum Antitoxin Plus dari SALWA).
Perut wanita yang sedang hamil.
Wanita yang sedang haid.
Orang yang sedang minum obat pengencer darah.
Penderita leukemia, thrombosit, alergi kulit serius.
Orang yang sangat letih / kelaparan / kenyang / kehausan / gugup.

Anggota bagian tubuh yang tidak boleh di-bekam :

Mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, puting susu, alat kelamin, dubur.
Area tubuh yang banyak simpul limpa.
Area tubuh yang dekat pembuluh besar.
Bagian tubuh yang ada varises, tumor, retak tulang, jaringan luka.

Titik bekam pada umumnya adalah untuk meringankan gangguan pada organ dan syaraf bila di-bekam pada tempat gangguan, terutama karena gangguan kelebihan darah atau darah kotor atau kedua-duanya. Titik-titik bekam yang disukai Rasulullah SAW, yaitu :

Bekam atas dua urat leher :

Mencegah sakit kepala.
Mencegah sakit di wajah.
Mencegah sakit gigi.
Mencegah sakit telinga.
Mencegah sakit hidung.
Mencegah sakit kerongkongan.

Bekam pada tengkuk / kuduk :

Mencegah tekanan darah pada tengkuk.
Mengatasi rabun.
Mengatasi benjolan di mata.
Mengatasi rasa berat pada alis dan kelopak mata.
Mengatasi penyakit mata lainnya.
Mengobati lepra.
Mengobati berbagai macam penyakit.

Diriwayatkan oleh Bukhori dan Muslim bahwa : "Rasulullah SAW pernah menggunakan hijamah (bekam) atas tiga bagian tubuh, bagian atas tulang belakang dan atas dua urat leher."

Bekam pada pelipis :

Mengobati sakit kepala.
Mengobati sakit di wajah.
Mengobati sakit telinga.
Mengobati sakit hidung.
Mengobati sakit kerongkongan.

Bekam pada pundak :

Mengobati penyakit di pundak.
Mengobati sakit di leher.

Diriwayatkan dalam Shohih Bukhori dan Muslim dari Ibnu Abbas r.a., bahwa Rasulullah SAW pernah melakukan bekam sebanyak 3 kali pada 2 pelipis dan pundaknya.

Bekam di atas pinggul :

Menghilangkan pegal-pegal.
Menghilangkan kelelahan.

Dalam Sunan Abu Dawud disebutkan dari hadist Jabir bahwa Rasulullah SAW pernah melakukan bekam di bagian atas pinggulnya karena sakit pegal-pegal yang dideritanya.

Bagian lain tubuh boleh di-bekam sesuai tempat sakitnya selama bukan area yang dilarang di-bekam.

Haruskah sebulan sekali kita di-bekam ?
Jika kita ingin terbebas dari gangguan penyakit yang diakibatkan darah kotor atau sebagai tindakan penjagaan dan kewaspadaan kita terhadap penyakit, maka sangat baik bekam dilakukan sebulan sekali.

Dan agar tubuh kita lebih sehat lagi, maka lebih baik setiap hari kita minum herba kapsul Antitoxin Plus atau herba lainnya yang berkaitan dengan pembuangan toxin (racun) dari dalam tubuh.

Do'a Seorang Wanita

2008-12-22T12:41:00.000+07:00

Tuhanku...
Aku berdo'a untuk seorang pria yang akan menjadi bagian dari hidupku
Seseorang yang sungguh mencintaiMu lebih dari segala sesuatu
Seorang pria yang hidup bukan untuk dirinya sendiri tetapi untukMu

Sebuah hati yang sungguh mencintai dan dekat dengan Engkau
dan berusaha menjadikan sifat-sifatMu ada pada dirinya

Dan ia haruslah mengetahui bagi siapa dan untuk apa ia hidup sehingga
hidupnya tidaklah sia-sia

Seseorang yang memiliki hati yang bijak tidak hanya otak yang cerdas
Seorang pria yang tidak hanya mencintaiku tapi juga menghormatiku
Seorang pria yang tidak hanya memujaku tetapi juga dapat menasihatiku
ketika aku berbuat salah

Seseorang yang mencintaiku bukan karena kecantikanku tapi karena
hatiku
Seorang pria yang dapat menjadi sahabat terbaikku dalam setiap waktu
dan situasi
Seseorang yang dapat membuatku merasa sebagai seorang wanita ketika
aku di sisinya

Tuhanku...
Aku tidak meminta seseorang yang sempurna
namun aku meminta seseorang yang tepat bagiku,
sehingga aku dapat membuatnya sempurna di mataMu
Seorang pria yang membutuhkan dukunganku sebagai peneguhnya
Seorang pria yang membutuhkan do'aku untuk kehidupannya
Seseorang yang membutuhkan senyumku untuk mengatasi kesedihannya
Seseorang yang membutuhkan diriku untuk membuat hidupnya menjadi sempurna

Tuhanku...
Aku juga meminta,
Buatlah aku menjadi wanita yang dapat membuatnya bangga
Berikan aku hati yang sungguh mencintaiMu
sehingga aku dapat mencintainya karena cintaku padaMu

Berikanlah sifat yang lembut sehingga kecantikanku datang dariMu
Berikanlah aku tangan sehingga aku selalu mampu berdo'a untuknya
Berikanlah aku penglihatan sehingga aku dapat melihat banyak hal baik
dan bukan hal buruk dalam dirinya
Berikanlah aku lisan yang penuh dengan kata-kata bijaksana,
mampu memberikan semangat serta mendukungnya setiap saat
dan tersenyum untuk dirinya setiap pagi

Dan bilamana akhirnya kami akan bertemu,
aku berharap kami berdua dapat mengatakan:
"Betapa Maha Besarnya Engkau karena telah memberikan kepadaku
pasangan yang dapat membuat hidupku menjadi sempurna."

Aku mengetahui bahwa Engkau ingin kami bertemu pada waktu yang tepat
Dan Engkau akan membuat segala sesuatunya indah
pada waktu yang telah Engkau tentukan

Amin....
