It's summer time! And during summer time, listening to cheerful songs is one of my favorite things! So, for this occasion, I've decided to share with you the songs that I will most certainly listen to on loop for the whole summer. Kony'a Dake Ukaretakatta , Tsubaki Factory (2018): The whole song and its music video was released five days ago and I can't stop listening to it. When I first saw their looks (the yukata), I thought this song would be a ballad, but it's not!! It gets stuck in my head everytime I listen to it and I love it! Please, listen to it! It's worth it. Besides, the music video is really cute. Meet You There , 5 Seconds of Summer (2018): This song gets me to dance every single time it comes on shuffle. Besides, it's the song that gave the title to their upcoming world tour, I'm so emotional and excited! I cannot wait to hear it live, to be honest. It's gonna be so much fun!! One Kiss (feat.

Throwback to 2010, at Japan Expo (Parc des Expositions) Morning Musume. are guests of honour. I, Lucie, wasn't too familiar with Hello! Project yet. I couldn't see them. Moving to 2012, Takahashi Ai & Niigaki Risa, former Morning Musume. members, come to Paris for a TV event. Once again, I cannot make it there. Twice. It's the amount of times I missed my opportunity to see who has become my #2 singer of all time. Niigaki Risa. Now moving to late June 2018. Japan Expo announces it after a few teasers by 33 Degrees (managers for H!P related events in France). Niigaki Risa will come once again, to celebrate Hello! Project's 20th anniversary. I'm on the bus when I hear about it. I truly want to cry at that exact moment. I look at my mother and tell her, "Mom, I'm going to Japan Expo this year." I'm filled with happiness. After around 8 years of being a Risa fan, I'm finally getting to meet her. I will not miss another opportunity. I ne...
