We would like to thank you for your continuous support of PINK CRES. At the end of last year, members Kobayashi Hikaru and Nihei Yuuka consulted with leader Natsuyaki Miyabi on their desire to graduate and head down a different path. After continued discussions with the members, Natsuyaki decided she wanted to support their wishes and consulted with staff for suggestions.
With the staff’s support, the final agreement was the dissolution of the group on June 30th (2021). At that time, the exclusive management contracts with Kobayashi Hikaru and Nihei Yuuka will be terminated. In the future, using the experiences they gained within PINK CRES., they’ll take on new challenges. Additionally, Natsuyaki Miyabi’s contract will continue within the company. Her new challenges will be focused on singing.
We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to those of you who have supported us along the way. We deeply apologize for such a sudden report. Although there may only be 3 months left, we hope you will continue to support us until the end.
(I apologize if there are any errors or I’ve included incorrect information.)

Since tumblr changed the guidelines, it’s blocked a ton of my posts. Obviously whatever software they’re using to detect “inappropriate content” doesn’t work. For example, the post right before this was flagged.
So, I have to go through hundreds of posts to make sure they aren’t all blocked. Sorry if you guys can’t see anything. This has gone across all my blogs and it’s taking me forever to go through.
Hair and makeup artist Yukari Hayashi will check out this ViViGirl's makeup bag!
We'll use what's inside to create an on-trend look. How will we do that?
Quickly, we'll take a look at the products for the challenge♡
This time we'll turn Miyabi's typical cute, girly, and "gyaru" makeup into an “Autumn One-Tone Pink Look," using the same products!
Her normal cute, girly makeup below.
The products found inside the bag.
A. Missha M Cushion Foundation
B. Excel Shiny Shadow N S01
C. 3CE One Color Shadow Shimmer #SATURN
D. Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner WP 102
E. Maybelline Volume Express Magnum Bigshot 01
F. Rimmel Professional 3D Brow Mascara 002
G. Maybelline Hyper Diamonds Shadow BR-1
H. NYX Suede Matte Lipstick S05
"Pink-Tone" does not mean "only pink".
Pink becomes stronger and cuter with the use of brown.
I lean towards reds/pinks and lack a variety of colors, but even as I tried to change my makeup, I have a ton of pinks, in addition to basics. Because I love pink, I find it to be a necessary color.
GET THE LOOK
Using B+G+E for the Eye
See the area outlined in red, use a brownish-pink.
1. Apply B & G across the eyelid, from right to left.
2. Spread G along the lower lash-line.
3. Apply E to lashes.
(Note: the original is not very detailed.
I believe B is applied from the brow-bone to the lid.
Then G (dark brownish-pink) is applied across the lid.)
Using C+H for the Lips
For Lips: Apply a brown eye shadow to the center to firm up the lips!
Layering on eye shadow makes it look like powder-lipstick.
Your lips will look taut with the metal-like appearance.
Apply H with your finger, then apply C blending from the center outward.
Using F+G for the Eyebrows
It's good to use a brown-powder to create strength and cuteness!
Before using brow-mascara, fill in the eyebrows with brown shadow.
The pink will really pop!
1. Use G to fill in the eyebrows.
2. Use F on the eyebrow hairs.
Using A for the BASE
Use your fingers instead of a sponge for a dewy look. When you use your fingers, the foundation will be glossy since it remains sticky after being applied.
It takes a second to get used to applying by tapping.
There are many new techniques to try, like using eye shadow on the lips.
Be sure to take a look at your own makeup bag!

Kawaii's Maximum Level Cafe of Incredible Food and Decor!
Translation of an Article by SCRAMBLE Staff, ft. Miyabi
When it comes trends these days, Harajuku is the place to be.
There's an infinite supply of trendy food, clothes, and culture.
This time we'll be focusing on the eccentric "Kawaii" cafe,
with girl group and model Miyabi Natsuyaki along for the ride!
Walking, it's about 5 minutes from Harajuku Station. It has a theme park feel. Immediately after entering, it embodies Harajuku's distinctive "cuteness," but with a theme park appearance. Not only the decor, even everything down to the menu, is colorful and filled with cuteness. Like you're in another dimension.
That being said, their incredibly cute room has a huge special lunch menu.
I'll show you some of what they offer now!
Colorful Rainbow Pasta (Painter)
Cost: 1300 JYP (~13 USD)
The first item we received was "Colorful Rainbow Pasta (Painter)". The rainbow-colored spaghetti aglio e olio was served on a painter's palette, with colorful sauce on the side.
Miyabi says, "Mhmm! Delicious! This pasta has a strong garlic flavor!
It's pasta, but the flavor of each color is different.
Ah, now I can taste cheese! Oh, this one's basil!".
She continued, "The mustard is sweet, but not spicy.
The chili sauce has a bit of a kick, it's become a nice accent.
Eating each on their own is delicious, but it's even better mixed together!"
The colors' flavors: red is chili tomato, yellow is garlic mayonnaise, blue is butter, green is genovese cream, orange is cheddar cheese cream.
Chocolate Chicken Mole Amore
Cost: 950 JYP (~10 USD)
We went on to "Chocolate Chicken Mole Amore".
On this menu, there's chicken in a chocolate sauce.
My expectations were high for this strange main dish.
"An interesting flavor (laughs). Ah, did I taste the chocolate!?"
Miyabi seemed to be enjoying this new flavor experience.
"The chicken and chocolate complement each other. The chicken is delicious with just salt and pepper, while the chocolate flavor comes later.
It's strange, but delicious!"
Melty Pancakes (Pink Sweets Hearts)
Cost: 1500 JYP (~15 USD)
Of course, last is dessert! Continuing in their distinctive style. Let's check it out.
With continuous smiles Miyabi said, "Mmm, delicious! The harmony between the ice cream and pancakes is irresistible! Super yummy!"
She continued to praise it!
"The pancake batter is firm. The strawberry flavored sauce is tasty.
The ice cream on top is sweet, but it's exactly the accent needed!"
You should definitely try it out! You'll feel like you're having fun in a theme park the moment you enter this place.
We visited during their lunch hours this time.

Translation of an Article by Miyabi Natsuyaki on SCRAMBLE
Thanks for visiting! I'm Miyabi Natsuyaki, a former Berryz Kobo and Buono! member. Since the dissolution of those groups, I've been an artist acting as the center and founding member of PINK CRES. in their concerts and such! In addition, I'm a ViVi Girl, have a large following on instagram, and hope to become an icon to many more people!
I guess that was my introduction...
From here on I'd like to give information on my favorite items, cosmetics, clothes, and various topics, which I'd be happy if you read.
For Use this Season! The Best 3 Matte Lipsticks.
This time I think I'll make a list of my most loved cosmetics, the first being lipsticks for the current season.The best 3 for me...
1. WHOMEE "WHOMEE Lipstick"
2. NYX "Suede Matte Lipstick"
3. CHANEL "Rouge Allure Velvet"
WHOMEE has been consistently increasing in popularity, as many of you know. The "preacher" of cute, Igari Shinobu's own cosmetic brand! Have you heard the discussions about Igari-makeup? Many people know her! I'm also a fan of Igari. I definitely love this hair and makeup artist, I make sure to check out any specials on television or in books.
Igari-san herself has sensitive skin, I also have the same issue. So there's a lot to learn from her. WHOMEE Cosmetics really make you think about what you use on your skin, I love it! The color I use is "Bordeaux". Although it's mature, it still has a cute feel!
When the color is too brown, it can bring a lot of attention, giving a "cool" impression. When it has a lot of red, it seems pretty loud, doesn't it? Those feelings often cause me trouble as there are many lipsticks like that. But, WHOMEE's lipsticks are definitely good!!! As the colors are so well balanced, even beauty newbies can easily wear them! Of course, apply it in the way you feel comfortable.
I like lipsticks that apply matte, but don’t feel drying. If it does feel like it's drying, there are products you can use for peeling skin. But this one should be fine!
By chance, whenever I forget lipstick this is what I grab for every time. I'd be happy if you bought it to try it yourself! NYX Cosmetics’ strong point is their color selection! In addition to their packages and colors being cute, their colors are far from weak. NYX is incredible because their colors are true!
With its foreign makeup feel, the vivid colors are really exciting! The application of this lipstick is matte! As to its beauty, the color is fantastic. As we all prefer makeup with different application styles, it may be slightly drying to some. It's definitely not oily.
The thing about CHANEL lipsticks is a girl feels better just by having it.
I've used this color frequently since I received it as a gift from my mother. This will definitely be a repeat purchase! It's best on days when you want a little confidence or when you are meeting someone special.
CHANEL's lipsticks come in various colors, so it's hard to choose one that fits me...I would say I'm pretty lucky then, thanks mom! (lol)
Again, this lipstick is also matte when applied! The color isn't quite bright red, it's sort of mixed with brown. An easy to use, mature lipstick.
Overall, I would say I go for matte over gloss!
I hope you'll try them out.
Those were the best 3 matte lipsticks for the season!
Until next time!
