I'm alive!!! I know it's been a while since I updated the blog. A lot of things happened and I'm really (really) busy with my studies. The only time I had for my hobbies I use it for keep myself informed and I obviously didn't have time to update this blog.

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!

Hello readers! I'm working in a big calendar for you all!

It's easier to have every relevant (Idol, Idol-seiyuu related) releases, events, etc in only one place. I'm still working in it, and it's very incomplete right now! That's why I ask for your collaboration if you want to add any date on the calendar ^__^. You just have to comment in the calendar page or e-mail me (bunny.desu(a)gmail(dot)com)!

That said...

Let's all enjoy of our idols!

This MUSIC JAPAN Idol Special was announced some weeks ago and it was recorded on May 17. It was a big surprise for all of us!! Is like a dream come true, don't you think?

It's good to know idols are getting more and more popular those days. Specials like this one should be repeated.

It's not the first time there's is some kind of collaboration within different idol groups this year. The new "show" GIRLS POP NEXT (which can only be seen or downloaded from the internet) includes YGA (Yoshimoto Gravure Agency), Momoiro Clover, SDN48 and many others. They did their first special live on February and they're planning a second one for June!!

Music Japan is going to be broadcasted this Sunday! So be sure to see it with KeyHole TV or just wait for the video file to be uploaded!!

This said, let's take a quick look to the idol groups performing this Sunday:

Morning Musume (モーニング娘。)

The H!P front group with its 43rd single: Seishun Collection (青春コレクション "Youth Collection"). A slow but nice song with very colorful and stylish (?) outfits : D.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

AKB48

The now super popular idol group AKB48 presents its 16th maxi single called Ponytail to Shushu (ポニーテールとシュシュ "Ponytail and scrunchy"). A single that already sold more than 450000 copies in only 4 days, maybe for its 4 Songs+PVs deal or for those senbatsu tickets ;P. A sumerish song with cute uniform styled outfits may be the cause too :D.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Idoling!!! (アイドリング!!!)

Idoling!! present their 12th single: Me ni wa Aoba, Yama Hototogisu, Hatsukoi (目には青葉山ホトトギス初恋, "Sight of Aoba, Mountain Cuckoo, First Love"). A happy song with cute uniform styled outfits ^^!

S/mileage (スマイレージ)

Ex-H!Pro Eggs and now and "official" H!P group. S/mileage do their major debut with an upbeat song, cute uniform styled outfits (again xD) and nice legs exposure : D : Yume Miru Fifteen (夢見る　１５歳 "15-Year-Old Dreaming")

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Vanilla Beans (バニラビーンズ)

I can't say much about them because I barely know this group =S. They present their mini-album Def&Def wich contains two versions of the song D&D and some covers from anime theme songs!!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Momoiro Clover (ももいろクローバー)

Momoiro Clover present their latest single Ikuze! Kaitō shōjo (行くぜっ！怪盗少女 "Let's Go! Phantom Thief Girl"). A "genki" song with really enegergic dance! Click here to read more about them~.

ももいろクローバー(Momoiro Clover)'s first major single was announced some months ago, but today Stardust official Youtube channel uploaded 行くぜっ！怪盗少女(Ikuze! Kaitō shōjo)'s PV!

What do you think? I love it!! Both PV and song are really good! I like they all have solo lines, you can see they personalities and enjoy the song a lot more.

Also, I really like many changes of the song but I specially like the chorus ^^ and Ayami's "Mirai uchi" (I think she says that ^^U) !!!

Ikuze! Kaitō shōjo is set to be released on the 5th May in 7 editions!!! One normal and six limited versions of each member:

Tracklist:
1. 行くぜっ！怪盗少女 (Ikuze! Kaitō shōjo)
2. 走れ！ (Hashire!)
3. 行くぜっ！怪盗少女(Off Vocal ver.)
4. 走れ！(Off Vocal ver.)

You can see photos of each jacket in their official website here!

Let's all hope they do well with sales!!

Original entry 2008.11.08

Today I was trying to look for more information about an idol duo of sisters and I finally found somebody created an entry for them in WikiThePPN (not working anymore :( ), but sadly there's even less information that I know. That's why I had to complete what I know.

I knew them a year ago, in 2007 summer if I'm not wrong. Thanks to a webpage like YouTube (but a lot better): Stage6... videos in divx with the avaiability of downloading those videos... a big website m(_ _)m. I found the user who had uploaded all toutou's PVs, Making of and PVs DVDRips!! I only downloade one, the Dance Version of Hoshi Uranai no Uta.

Sadly, this website shutted down and all those videos were losen. One day I'm going to dedicate a full post of everything I could save from there...there were so many things!!

toutou (トゥートゥー)

It was an idol group formed by two sisters: Sayaka Nishimura (西村紗也香) (the oldest) and Marika Nishimura (西村麻理香). They emerged from a Fuji TV program in July 2005 called "Gacha Gachapon!", where they performed the ending them and other songs and choreographies for kids.

In July 2005, they released their first single Hoshi Uranai no Uta (星占いの歌) (The astrology song) in two versions, one with the CD and the other with a DVD which included the original PV, Dance version and Making of.

Their second single Kokoro no Mondai/Onegai! Prime Minister (ココロの問題／お願い！プライムミニスター) was released in November of the same year. Kokoro no Mondai was the opening them of the popular anime Keroro Gunsō (ケロロ軍曹)" o "Sargent Keroro, and Onegai! Prime Minister was used to promote the interest in politics between young people .

In 2007, they released an album called toutou no Album (toutouのアルバム) which included a DVD too.

Right now they continue doing mini lives but there's no information about future releases.

UPDATED: They did their last concert a few weeks ago (June of 2009). They took a picture with their fans and were given a bouquet of flowers ^^

Ok, that's more or less all the information I could found about them... I would like to understand Japanese so I could read their blogs u.u. If I can complete with more information, I'm going to update this post ^^.

I leave you with some links and videos I found:

Y hoy toca el turno de...

MarryDoll (マリードール)

MarryDoll se creó en 2007 en Kansai bajo la agencia e-cast, formado en un principio por Nakayoshi Ryoko (中吉涼子) y Kyouda Maimi (京田真以美).

Maimi y Ryoko

Con esta formación sacaron dos sencillos independientes: "babystar" y "tell me". Poco después, en mayo de 2008, Kyouda decidió abandonar el grupo para dedicarse a sus estudios.

"baby star"

"tell me" (con la nueva integrante)

Luego de tan sólo un mes de inactividad, Misato se une al grupo pasando a conocerse sus integrantes simplemente como MISA (みさ) y RYOKO (こっこ).

MISA (みさ) y RYOKO (こっこ)

La nueva formación sacó a la venta un nuevo sencillo independiente "Honey☆Tune" también en independiente.

Portadas de "Honey☆Tune"

Live de "Honey☆Tune"

MarryDoll comenzó ha participar en distintos eventos interpretando tanto canciones propias como covers de otros grupos Idols y canciones de anime entre otras. En agosto de 2008 se presentan como grupo telonero en el evento en Osaka donde Kago Ai hizo su retorno.

LOVE & JOY

También, se promocionaron en las calles tanto en individual como en grupo:

MarryDoll: "Lucky Cha Cha Cha!" y "tell me"

Ryoko solos: "baby star", "Ookina ai de Motenashite", "Hare Hare Yukai" y "Aitakatta"

A comienzos de este año 2009, MarryDoll pasó a formar parte de otra agencia, D-Mix Entertainment. De esta manera consiguen una página oficial y ser regulares en el nuevo programa de TV "Idol Sniper" (アイドルスナイパー) (Hablaré en otra entrada sobre este programa porque creo que es bastante interesante ^^).
