As already mentioned in our last blog entry we had the
chance to make a review video about the July edition of Japan Candy Box. Here
you can see some photos of the shoot. It was a great experience for us and we
are really grateful to Japan Candy Box for making this possible for us.
If you liked the review video and now want to get your
own Japan Candy Box for free, you have the chance to participate in its
giveaway. All you have to do is to follow this link, but please do it quickly.
Time is running out – the giveaway ends in about two weeks.
This is our first sponsored video by Japan Candy Box. We were super excited to actually make this! Unfortunately we had to record it without Sandy and Rina so we invited a special guest our friend Hailey~
We tasted a lot of japanese candy and it's quite interesting how we assessed differently. But most of the time we had similar opinions. It was oishiiii anyway!! Delicious~ and funny :D
Hi there!
July and august were full of events and hard work, that we couldn't find a gap to relax and post something. So basically we will sum up the last four weeks for you! For those of you who subscribed to our youtube channel, you already know what things happened. Please enjoy reading~ :)
July 18 ✽ ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀
It was time to work as maids! We worked in the Maid Café "Sweet Heaven" at the Ongaku Matsuri in Berlin. It was soo damn hot! But still we gave our best and we also had a few newbies who helped us. We offered ice coffee, ice cocoa and smoothies! The incredible matcha lime cake made by Mellow (and Nhi) was sold after a few minutes! We love it so much that's why we want to thank every occasion that makes it possible to be a maid.~ If you are interested in the café team you can like us on facebook! https://www.facebook.com/Sweet.Heaven.Berlin
July 25/26 ✽ ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀
At the end of July we got the chance to meet an odorite, a dancer. Her name ist Anna and she stayed for one week in our hometown. We spent two days together, one for practice and a spontaneous trip to an okonomiyaki restaurant and on sunday we recorded our dance cover of °C-ute's "The Middle Management". We all put clothes on that were similar so the ones in the PV. We enjoyed doing some business look.You can watch the dance cover here! Thank you Anna <3
August 1 ✽ ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀
On August 1st we had a very important appointment. Pastel Girls participated in their very first k-pop dance cover contest and it even was held world wide! Yes we are so damn nervous... We went to hamburg and performed our dance cover of Ladies' Code's "Kiss Kiss". Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to participate in the second round, but it was an impressive event anyway. We learned more about dancing, we met a lot of talented and kind people. It was amazing watching all those people dance and enjoy korean pop music. It was a great community feeling! We filmed our trip to hamburg. You can watch it on Youtube!
August 8/9 ✽ ✾ ✿ ❁ ❃ ❋ ❀
The weekend after our contest experience we had to transform into maids again as we were working for the Maid Café "Sweet Heaven" at the Pop Asia Barcamp in Berlin. Pastel Girls also performed some j-pop, kpop and odotte mita songs live! There were another dance groups so we enjoyed their performances also! Lauri made a wonderful video about our Barcamp experience! Watch it on youtube!

Currently we are preparing for the performance @ K-Pop World Festival in Hamburg Germany. We are SOO damn nervous... Well...we finished the choreography already and also determined our costumes. But we are freaking nervous!!!! It will be our first k-pop contest ever. T____T
So we participated in doing a shout out video for the festival. Here you go~
Although it was the day of the preliminary of the K-Pop World Festival in Berlin we took our time to perform live instead. We visited a small but cute festival in the district Tegel-Süd.
We prepared some J-Pop, Kpop and NND songs for the audience which was unaware of asian pop music. For this event we decided to wear our country costumes again which we also wore for our DoKomi contest performance in may.
You can have a look at our little follow us around clip below including cuts of the stage performance!
We are back from the DoKomi, Anime&Manga Convention in Düsseldorf Germany. We had a very safe trip by plane and train. So everything went well !! So lucky~
On the first day we were pretty nervous because around 3pm the Dance Off Contest started. Previously they showed two videos of Melochin, Apricot, Tadanon, Bouto = dancers from Japan in which they encouraged all participants with a sweet message~
You can watch the message videos here at the beginning -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kYdcBd6jbM
Because we were so nervous we did not have time so walk around that much or buy a lot. We practiced two times in a secret corner and then we waited for the contest to begin. Backstage we met all the other dancers and even made a group photo. Then the contest started!
We were #8 and already most of the groups peformed their dances. We enjoyed the most of them! They were pretty funny some of them were awesome with so much skills!
We were a little bit unsure when exactly the results would come out. So we wanted to be safe and after Machigeritas concert we sat down again in the great hall to wait for the award ceremony. Indeed it was the right time! Last year they hold the ceremony on sunday.
In the end we won 4th place and were mega happy! We also were pretty happy about the first place winners because they are from the same city and did a fantastic performance! After the whole award ceremony we talked to the other dancers. Some of them broke out in tears it was so heartbreaking to see them cry. They gave their best but the jury seemed not to be familiar with odottemita/odorite , that's what we guess!
We hope that next year there will be a better contest with some guidelines to follow because it makes it easier for all dancers and the jury to compare and judge
Have a look at our peformance! See you again in the next entry we talk about DoKomi day 2 <3 Bai baii!!!
Hello everybody~
All things are packed and we are excited to begin our journey to Düsseldorf for DoKomi. We are flying with a plane tomorrow morning and will return on sunday evening. If you are attending the convention too you can always have a chat with us! :D
Well we have been practicing a lot for this moment! And hopefully it will turn out great so we can enthuse the audience~ BTW where are all the WOTAS??? Prepare yourself for our idol-performance ❤❤❤

We are currently preparing for the DoKomi dance off contest and also for the flashmob dance cover of "39". The German convention takes place in Düsseldorf 23&24 of May. So we are quite busy X__X
But on last sunday we celebrated the cherry blossom festival "Hanami"in Berlin. It was also Sandys birthday. (12.04.) We were really lucky and had great weather, although it was a bit cold in the end. Because the event took place on sunday that means we also had dance practice. We even started one hour earlier! Phew~ After practicing we prepared ourselves, put make up and dresses on and went to the festival.
As always there were some really nice sales stalls with a lot of stuff including asian food, manga, anime and also asian clothes and kites. We also met Mademoiselle Oppossum again XD
Mainly we were just sitting around enjoying the view of the cherry blossoms which were soo beautiful!! And we also took some photos and polaroids.
We gained another sweet memories in our pastel life~
BTW: Happy blackday to all those singles out there :P See you soon ~
Hello dear readers <3 As some of us are super big Hello Project fans we didn't miss the chance to watch the live stream of Berryz Koubou's last live concert. We shared tears with them a lot at home when they sang the last song "Love together". It was a pretty sweet concert with great songs <3
Also don't miss the video from Chuu Sugoi Idol. There are more fans and dancers included. ~ Tribute to BK [030315]

Shortly after the Japan Festival we were invited to perform live at the POP ASIA Barcamp in Berlin. We also mentioned it in our last entry.
But we did not only perform live, we also kinda worked as Maids and supported the catering of the Barcamp. Therefore we prepared a lot of sweet cakes and cupcakes. Lu and Nhi also helped out <3 They were really sweet and hard working!
We arrived at 10 o'clock and prepared all the maid stuff, then we got changed for our maid costumes. Around 13 o'clock it was lunch time~~~~ Due to an onigiri workshop all visitors got the chance to fill there stomach with soo many delicious rice balls! There even was a kimchi flavoured onigiri <3
sweet cake and cupcakes
Lauri & Minah
At 17 o'clock we started our mini live concert. We introduced our project and also some fan chants from Japan (wotagei). The audience was SO amazing! They were supportive and brave enough to cheer sometimes! We felt soo happy about it! Sometimes the music was hard to hear and it even stopped once but the audience cheered for us and we got our smiles back and tried even harder!

Thank you for watching everyone!!
January is over and all of us are super tired, that's why we even cancelled one practice day. But we have more plans for the future. So we are going to work hard again!
It's been a long time since we actually wrote something. Phew a lot of things happened!
Last weekend we attended the Japan Festival in Berlin. We even got the chance to perform live on stage! Wah it was our first time we performed live songs and we were super nervous!!! But all of us are very proud and satisfied with the results. AND: the audience was AMAZING! So many people were actually sitting and watching ! Wow Thank you~ We received some lovely feedback and made photos with some people. We even had to sign autographs on some posters ! crazy~ *pastel girls are going to practice their autographs in the future (ง'̀-'́)ง *

We also were invited to model for two talented fashion designer, who create japanese clothes inspired from wa-lolita and gothic lolita styles. You can find them on facebook Innocent Sigh and Gruftling. Please have a look ^O^
After our live performance we changed our clothes and refreshed our make up so we could be on stage for the fashion show. You can find some pictures of Lauri, Minah and Sandy here: http://www.ronny-siegel.de/cooles-japan-festival-in-berlin/

Rina & Minah @ after some recording
The day after our performance (so yesterday) we finally recorded our dance cover for the Berryz Koubou tributethat we have announced on facebook. Since december we have practiced a lot. We learned 6 new dance routines. It was very tough! All 4 girls gave their very best to dance correctly and with so much energy. It took us about 2-3hours to get it done. It was very exhausting. So Lauri is gonna cut the video and then we hopefully can present it on our youtube channel. Make sure to subscribe to not miss any videos ≧°◡°≦
If you are able to visit Berlin make sure to come along the Pop Asia Barcamp on the 31st of January. We are going to perform some J-Pop and K-Pop dances ≧◠◡◠≦✌ For more information please visit the facebook page of the event! https://www.facebook.com/popaasia.berlin?fref=ts
