Today was X21's debut! :love:
They placed 9th on the Oricon singles chart.

They were up against a lot of tough competition with SKE48, Juice=Juice and lots more.

---
I actually expect they should rise a bit over the week. My order with Amazon.co.jp was split as there was some issue with the Regular Editions. Looks like I'll get it in the next week or so, but the website now lists it as shipping within 1-2 MONTHS. o__O
Can't wait to get my singles (today or tomorrow!)

Interesting, good info!  :thumbup

The first thing that strikes me: if you're gonna name your group letter-number you'll immediately be labeled as an AKB48 clone.

--X21's show is hosted by actress Gouriki Ayame and has featured guests like Takei Emi and Kutsuna Shiori.

Woah! I'll definitely check that out. I had no idea Gouriki hosts an idol show.

edit: lol at all the food themed episodes. Typical Japanese idol TV.

I actually expected them to come up with an actual group name when they debuted. Kinda thought (hoped) that the X21 was just there as an "unknown" as well until they kind of found themselves.

These girls were beauty pageant contestants who have really come into their own as a group. It's really an interesting concept to just take all the finalists and run with it. I really hope the poor sales from this single doesn't kill off their future. ;;__;;

Oscar Pro spares NO expense when it comes to their food. They don't eat McDonalds quality.. its always high-end stuff.

It's kinda amazing that they dumped so much money into these shows, and then when it comes to single time they get very little promotion, for a pretty good little song.

The photobook version is amazing. Each girl gets her own solo page and then a few pages of group serious and group fun shots. It's all very lightly colored/heavenly themed. Angels, I tell you.

(Group Shot L-R)
Wakayama Ayano, Tanaka Shuri, Suenaga Mai, Komoriya Sakura, Nagao Mami, Kaminaguchi Honoka, Izumikawa Miho

(as you see, we keep moving Sakura closer to the center..... and it might have to do with the fact that she's got more than all the others combined...)

Double posted in Miyu Yoshimoto thread and X21 thread.

This two years old, when Miyu introduced her photo book.
What made the event extra special was that she brought
team mates Sakura Komoriya, Mai Suenaga, and Miho Izumikawa
along for their most excellent support!

Miho, Mai, Miyu, & Sakura

Thanks for this thread effort.

Saw a newbie had a idol video career starting in October.

Turns out Komoriya Sakura isn't really a newbie.

10-23 with a DVD and BR version.

This song is amazing. It clicked with me right away. Is this representative of most of their songs?

Here is their latest: X21 / 「YOU-kIのパレード」

Their songs keep getting stronger, but they don't seem to be growing much in popularity as a group. :cry:
