One more thing: she's in total control of the music. I chanced upon a blog entry of one of the musicians for the Pantalea concert...he said that only Shikata knows exactly how the music is going to be. I love that composer-arranger-singer!

that's cute, haha~
but people tend to get inspirations in bath time, really. I myself can get many ideas while bathing. I also sing during my bath time. it's so much fun and relaxing. especially when she's using bath salt. XD

Shikata-san is indeed very amazing! to think that she took care of the music all by herself, that's just awesome. waaa~ *speechless* cry

by **tiredEyes** 2010-11-10, 01:52

(from her Twitter feed) Apparently the poor girl slept in a bad position last night and now has a back ache oh~

by **Maruko** 2010-11-10, 02:17

Oh yeah, I've read it just now~
tiredEyes-san, do you understand japanese? *A*

by **tiredEyes** 2010-11-10, 03:01

Barely enough to get by. Hiragana, Katakana, some Kanji, and a bit of vocab here and there. Most of the time, I get by because of my Mandarin background.

by **kazaki03** 2010-11-11, 18:08

Aww. I hope she heals soon. xD

by **phio_chan** 2010-11-11, 18:33

haha, she's funny. but I wish her to be better soon. ;)

She said that is very difficult that three cats form a triangle xD And she's happy that all of them looked at the camera~

she's... weird but cute... really... XD

by **kazaki03** 2010-11-19, 12:17

MEOW! xD

by **tiredEyes** 2010-11-23, 14:37

Now I have officially confirmed that Shikata has a pet dog, not a cat -.- she was shopping for doggie beds recently. I believe it is called "Mei"? smile

by **phio_chan** 2010-11-23, 18:30

oh, yay! I love dogs better than cats, so I'm kinda happy. XD

"Mei", huh? pretty cute, but somehow it sounds like a way to call a cat to me. XD

by **Wasabi** 2010-11-23, 21:50

Mei means Beauty or Sister in chinese XD

by **tiredEyes** 2010-11-29, 02:28

Since I just learnt how to upload images (yes yes I am a Web 2.0 idiot)...

I would have thought for sure she would have a pet cat. Does she have any other pets? And, if not a pet cat then I'm kind of disappointed (I'm very much a cat person) considering how much they're on her music box album covers.

by **Wasabi** 2010-12-01, 16:17

nope you could read the blog posts that i translated~

by **phio_chan** 2010-12-01, 19:50

hahaha~ XD

but Frisk, her dog is cute, you know! smile

[img][/img] Akiko Shikata Personal Life - Page 2 Meimei

Hey I was looking to some scans and....
It is her signature?

If it is... This dog could be mei mei?

Eh,and also,what do you think about the tatto that she had in Navigatora?

by **Maruko** 2010-12-02, 00:59

As said in another topic, I've never noticed that tatoo °A° Well personally I don't like tatoos, but that in particular is quite good and raffinate =D It's perfect for Akiko-sama.

by **Artesox** 2010-12-02, 01:10

But I can't see it on her arm after that cover... maybe it was just a PC trick

Anyway,try to find akiko here V.2 (Very easy this time)

Thanks for the image LavenderYuki ^^

Anyway,Akiko have a lot of style in this photo,very easy top find she....and Omg she is taller than Noriko O_O
I aways tough that Noriko was tall,but akiko wins Ô_O

Edit: my 6 years old cousin just said that akiko is the prettiest on the photo XD

Anyway,Akiko is the only one that don't show the pink part of the T-shirt,she thinks that black is better than pink,bad,baaad girl U_U

by **phio_chan** 2010-12-02, 02:27

wow, that's cute, Artesox! haha~ XD

so Akiko-san doesn't like pink? hmm~ well, a girl doesn't always have to like pink, right? hahahaha~

yes,but going with black in a pink T-shirt place is a thing that just evil people do... my grandma said that,and she is always right....And ,if we are in Umineko, Akiko would be the witch of "no DVDs" a evil witch that gets her power from the frustration of people that don't have the DVD of her awesome shows ;-;

by **Maruko** 2010-12-02, 05:08

I agree with you T___T

Maruko you have a point. To be honest I've never wondered about the tattoo (I always thought it was fake), but now I'm starting too. Especially as you pointed out it does look like something Shikata-san might get. And, as far as I know we've never seen her arms too well besides the skin she showed on Navigatoria.

by **Artesox** 2010-12-02, 08:38

actually we barely see Akiko XD
for someone that sing for 10 years, she have few photos

by **Wasabi** 2010-12-02, 17:12

we did see her arms on Harmonia too right XD both promo pic and album pic and some other pics as well ~

by **F r i s k** 2010-12-02, 17:38

Wasabi wrote:we did see her arms on Harmonia too right XD both promo pic and album pic and some other pics as well ~

If I'm not mistaken it's only the left arm we see in the Harmonia pictures and not the right arm on which the Navigatoria tattoo is located on.

edit: Took out something I realized was wrong.
going to sleep now~

by **Artesox** 2010-12-02, 22:55

Yesh its getting complicated.
We can see part of the right Arm in Harmonia,but ahn,It's hard to think if the tatoo was a fake or not....

by **tiredEyes** 2010-12-03, 01:19

Just an opinion...I think the tattoo was either photoshopped in or it was a temporary tattoo. I just don't think that Shikata is the type to get a tattoo.

But well, I guess we'll never know until she says so big smile

by **F r i s k** 2010-12-03, 04:34

I keep flip-flopping back and forth. Sometimes I think there's no way, 'Shikata-san isn't the type to get a tattoo' and then the saying you never truly know a person creeps into my thoughts.

by **kazaki03** 2010-12-03, 23:05

I also think that tattoo was photoshopped. Besides, the Navigatoria album cover really looks all photoshopped, right? =)

by **tiredEyes** 2010-12-04, 01:54

Well almost about everything is photoshopped nowadays...

by **Artesox** 2010-12-04, 05:01

Yes, Photoshop make magic...
Even if it wasn't it isn't in her arm anymore(If it was,we would see it in one of the Harmonia images),so it wasn't a real tatoo

Anyway.
I have a Question 8D
What are the "symbols" of Akiko? Something that every time that you see, the words Akiko Shikata come to your mind...

For me it is flowers in the hair, Full Moon and Kalliope

by **Maruko** 2010-12-04, 08:24

Humm... I agree with you for Full Moon and Kalliope. But also Myths, Legend, Wind (?) and other delicate and yet energetic things <3

by **Wasabi** 2010-12-04, 13:16

symbols..
flowers on her hair, birds, nature come to mind~

by **Solveig** 2010-12-04, 13:29

Roses, moon, cats, birds, and natural elements.

by **Artesox** 2010-12-04, 21:57

BIRDS!
I totally forget they until Wasabi said it!
There are a amazing number of birds in Akiko's career
Most of them are at 2007 (AT II side blue and Umineko )
And the Vagrancy site also have birds

by **phio_chan** 2010-12-05, 01:31

Akiko... is kinda identical with nature. Birds and flowers are top symbols, for me. In addition, bath salt! XD

by **Solveig** 2010-12-05, 11:49

Nature. Totally.

In my opinion, she is a pagan. smile

by **kazaki03** 2010-12-05, 12:59

I agree with the bath salt. xD

by **Wasabi** 2010-12-08, 02:35

tea!!!!!!!

by **F r i s k** 2010-12-08, 03:40

Nature, for sure! But, in addition to birds I think of butterflies (mainly because of Umineko), cats, flowers. Also sometimes the the moon, snow, and the sea, depending on the song.

by **phio_chan** 2010-12-08, 23:32

Agree with Wasabi and Frisk as well. ^^
