Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Purezza – 10

(Konna Koto ni Nacchatte......)
"It's Become Like This......"

Ugh, I thought I was covering Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu here, not WHITE ALBUM. Deceptive managers doing what they think is best for an upcoming idol while her boyfriend's sent away only to end up as another idol's manager? Thank god Yuuto's no Touya at least and doesn't sleep with every girl who lets him. In other news, we have shameless seiyuu plugs galore with all of N's members mentioned.

Natsu no Arashi! Akinai-chuu – 10

(Shouwa Buruuzu)
"Showa Blues"

In order to understand Arashi better, Hajime travels back in time to the Showa Era with the help of Yayoi. In 1940, Arashi is the same age as Hajime is now and got into her fair share of scuffles with punk kids. Not exactly what you would expect from a young girl from a wealthy family, but Hajime tags along and becomes a key memory of Arashi's past -- her first love.
