Kawaii Box ☆July 2015☆

I'm starting to get used to the weird months. This is July's Kawaii box! As per usual, it is a box of cuteness sent to my door every month. This month is just as good as previous months! I do think they went through a bit of a funk a awhile ago but the past few months have been great. I'll do again what I did last month which is take the pictures of the items off of Blippo's website (and if they're not there, I'll post my own!)

 Here's everything 

Alpaca Keychain (Price of 3.90)
So cuuute~! I love the increase of Alpaca items lately in Kawaii Box. I think the last five boxes have had something related to Alpacas. This keychain is a decent size and is pretty nice quality, it's so nice! I'm going to definitely put this on my bag.

Panda/Bunny Flake Stickers (Price of 2.60)
Very cute though I don't know what to use them for... still cute!!

Cute Pencil Set (Price of 2.03)
Very cute pencils!! Too cute for me to use.

Mushroom Mini Plush (Price of 3.20)
I got the one in blue. I think boyfriend likes this item more than me.

Rilakkuma Notes (Price of 4.60)
I love this item. It seems like a little book at first but folds out to many different pages of stationary items! Such a handy little item, especially since it's so compact.

Glitter Glue Set (Est. Price of 3.50)
I just guessed on the price since it wasn't on the site.

Pastel Pearl Bracelet (Price of 1.90)
Cute item! It will go with the pastel cube bracelet I got in the box a little while back.

Toast Coaster (Price of 1.60)
Way too cute to use as a coaster!
I got the second face.

(Picture soon to come!)
Dessert Eraser (est. Price of 0.75)

Squishy Doughnut Mirror (Price of 3.40)
A squishy! But not just a normal squishy.. but one with a mirror! Very cool.
(Though I'll still say, I don't care for the ones with sprinkles.)

Kracie DIY Chain Candy (Price of 4.20)
Basically just a bunch of candies you can hook together.
The flavors are Grape and Ramune.

Anyways, that is everything in the box this month! 
Fulfills many of my happy quotas so I am pleasantly pleased this month.
(Alpaca, Stationary, Pen/Pencils, Squishy, Charm, Candy)
And the estimated value of the box was around 30 dollars.
I'm looking forward to next month as always~

Morning Musume [59th Single] Singing Covers~!

That title is a bit long but...!
I really loved all the songs in Morning Musume's 59th single so I made an effort to cover them all within the week they came out. I managed to upload Sukatto this morning so I was happy I hit that goal for myself! I will link all of them below~

My first cover was "Oh My Wish"!
When I first heard this song, I really really liked it. I like a lot of MMs EDM singles and this was no exception. It got stuck in my head the first week I heard it. Initially it was my favourite but the other songs managed to grow on me. I also enjoyed the variance of centers with Zukki and Kudo having their chance to shine. Both did a great job in the PV! Singing this was fun as I got to use a more ~cooler~ voice though it was a little difficult for me. Mixing the more EDM songs isn't very fun as I still can't do fun effects, but hey, I try!

Second cover was "Imasugu Tobikomu Yuuki"
I won't lie, when I first heard this song, I really didn't like it. It sounded like another version of "Yuugure" from their last single on first listen and I just wasn't interested. It wasn't until I sat down and learned the lyrics when I really appreciated it. The song is so lovely and the PV is one of their prettiest yet. This has turned into my favourite song from the single. I tried to put passion into my singing as I felt the lyrics were very relatable. Lovely song and I liked it so much I covered the whole thing (which I know I don't do too often). This seems to be the case with most songs I cover, I either get tired of it or I really learn to appreciate and love it.

Last cover was "Sukatto My Heart"
The PV and outfits for this song are so cute! I love disco type songs and I really enjoyed this on first listen. It was super fun to sing, but oh goodness, the lyrics were really hard for me to grasp onto. I admit I fumbled quite a bit over my words despite recording this many, many times. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. Regardless of my apprehension, I tried to put a lot of energy into this very fun song. 

Anyways, those were my covers this week!
Quite a difference from my "1 song a month" that I originally started out with over 2 years ago. Now 3 songs in a week! I'm not sure if I'll keep up this pace as I am busy with work and moving but I loved this single so much I really wanted to cover them all. Please enjoy my covers and also be sure to check out the originals as well!
