Mary Angel is releasing their first album this March 16! It will contain all of their single's a-sides (except their last one, Shukan -shine heart-) and some of their b-sides plus some new/not released yet songs!

Merry X'mas & Happy New Year!

I hope you all having nice holidays!

There's a lot of things I want to talk about on this blog but I always lack of free time but I'll try my best to keep writing!

I just want to thank you all for read each of my posts! Those who read it since the beginning when I only wrote it in Spanish, those who know me from forums, those who follow me on twitter and those who know me from YouTube... thank you!

THE iDOLM@STER 2 date announced: February 2011!

 Finally we have a date: February 24th, 2011!

As all IDOLM@STER related releases, preordering the game will allow you to get some "extras". I this case, you will be able to get a new song: "Little Match Girl". Also, usual promotional cards are limited to those who preorder it.

Screencaps of the upcoming Love Live!'s single were added to their official site:

"Snow Halation" Anime PV

 

Not only we have a little preview of the Anime PV, but we also have a new profile pic for each member where we can see their new outfits:

Knee High Egoist 2nd CM + big covers!

This time, another CM was uploaded to Afilia Saga East's official NicoNico Douga channel!

Did you enjoy the Zettai Ryouiki? Then see all three covers:

Sakura Gakuin single debut!

It's so wrong that I haven't talk about them yet!! Being a fan of Karen Girl's and being following the activity of two of its former members (Suzuka and Ayami) I was extremely happy to know about this new project this past summer.

Dream Fighter cover by SPL∞ASH members (Pickup of the week)

I always loved groups (idol groups, dance & singing groups) from dance/singers schools. They have a total different aura despite they usually perform popular idol songs.

This time, I wanted to talked about ACTOR'S SCHOOL HIROSHIMA. You may know this singer's school  from the popular trio Perfume, singer Nakamoto Suzuka (ex-Karen Girl's, soloist and currently a Sakura Gakuin member) or idol group Manaminorisa (まなみのりさ). I'm always searching for some new performances on YouTube or NicoNico Douga from their regular events. Those are really enjoyable.

Today (well, I started writing this post like one month ago xD) I choose to share this live performance by three members of the group SPL∞ASH 

Dream Fighter original by Perfume.

Love Live! 2nd Single 『Snow halation』

A new single for the mysterious anime-idol group Love Live! has been announced! Snow halation is going to be the title of their second single to be released this December 22nd.

The CD includes a b-side song together with both a-side and b-side karaokes  plus an original drama part. DVD includes an animation shot video (or what we call PV for real idols) of Snow halation. Unlike its predecessor, there's a Limited Edition with a special designed cover :D!

I'm looking foward to this project, it's interesting to see how all this idol-boom is influencing the anime, too (you're going to know what I'm talking about when I write about ACG38 xD!).

Afilia Saga East 5th single CM!

DOWNLOAD CM
Watch it on their Official NicoNicoDouga Channel

Afilia Saga East is realising its 5th single in December 1st! Knee-high Egoist (ニーハイ・エゴイスト) lyrics are written by Shikura Chiyomaru (one of Afilia Saga East's producers) and composed by Tsunku (Hello! Project & TNX/Nice Girl Project producer)! After holding that idol wrestling event some months ago... it looks like he enjoyed working with other idols ;P

You can listen a small preview of Knee-high Egoist in their official site. Song it's  really Tsunk-ish xD!

B-side is called Koi wo Game ni shinaide! (恋をゲームにしないで!) and is the ending theme song of the PS3 game "Chojigen Game Neptune" (超次元ゲイム ネプテューヌ). Lyrics are written by Halko Momoi (also one of Afilia Saga East's producers).

Some time soon I'm going to translate Halko Momoi Spain (by BDASHU & xRukix)'s post about Afilia Saga East since it's the only place with a complete "profile" that's not in Japanese ^^!

It's nice to see how they're gaining more popularity with each release. I would love to see them doing some TV Live some day!

Pinky Jones and Kimi to Sekai PV previews!

And I say preview because as a H!O member said it's not the full version! At today's event they showed the full PV and it looks like it starts with a short skit ^^!

Pinky Jones is the typical Momoiro song... crazy, weird, energic,... xD I have to say I love their outfits, specially Akari & Ayaka's ones. My favorite part of the song in the min 2:35 where they all have solos and they "say" their names ^^.

Kimi to Sekai (キミとセカイ) preview is very short, but I like the song so far. It sounds like a cool song... at least it's PV looks like is going to be "cool" xD.

They also updated their official site with new profile pics:

I'm looking foward this single and their upcoming performance in Music Japan on November 7th! Don't forget Pinky Jones & Kimi to Sekai aren't the only songs/PVs included in this single.... we have COCO☆NATSU too!

Ono Erena graduated from AKB48

Yesterday, September 27th, Ono Erena (小野恵令奈) graduataded from AKB48. Her graduation ceremony was celebrated in a Team K show in the AKB48's Theater.

A month ago, Erena announced her graduation from the group in order to study abroad and become an actress.

A really sad departure... but as Sae said (or 10nen Zakura's lyrics said) graduation is a process. Erena says this is not a goodbye but a see you soon. She promises she's going to be back and asks her fans to wait her!

The Team K show went as always until the first encore where fans call Erepyon's name. After the three last songs from the usual setlist, they sang K2's Korogaru ishi ni nare (転がる石になれ). This is the first time new Team K sing this song.

After that they shown a VTR for the ocasion and for the surprise of everybody... ex-Team K members appeared!! Yuka, Kana, Oku, Kasai, Natsuki & Chikano (now Team B members), Natsumi & Asuka (now Team A members) and Meetan (now SDN48 member). Nonti (now SDN48 captain) couldn't be there, though =(. Old Team K line-up sang K4's Sasae (支え) and after that, both old and new members sang K3's Sougen no kiseki (草原の奇跡).

It looks like ex-AKB48 (and Team K) members Naruse & Kaoru where backstage! There were one of my favorite members so I'm really glad to see them with AKB one more time!

Many AKB48 (current & ex) members dedicated their posts to Erena: Sae, Kana, Sayaka, Ayaka, Yuka, Yuko, Oku, Naruse, Kaoru, Chikano...

Good luck in your future Erepyon! We're all going to miss you!!!

As an Pick up of the week... I leave you with two performances: FIRTS LOVE, Ono first and only solo from Namida Surprise! single and Sougen no kiseki from K3' DVD (graduation of Imai -and Takada-).
