VIYUDEN / 美勇伝

Information:
(from Wikipedia)
A Hello! Project unit, v-u-den (美勇伝) consists of Ishikawa Rika (former member of Morning Musume), Miyoshi Erika (one of the winners of a Hello! Project audition in 2003) and Okada Yui (one of the winners of Hello! Project Egg Audition in 2004). Biyuuden has two singles to date, and in late 2004, they performed as part of Hello! Project All Stars. Rika graduated from Morning Musume on May 7, 2005.

The Name

   美 bi (び) : beauty
   勇 yuu (ゆう) : bravery
   伝 den (でん) : legend

美勇伝 is found romanized in several ways on the Internet: Biyuuden, Biyuden, vi-yu-den, This last one is supported by Vi-yu-den appearing in the listing of artists on the back of the Hello! Project All Stars single and Erika and Yui wearing 'V's on their uniforms in the Hello! Project All Stars PV. Also, on the cover of their first single Koi no Nukegara as well as the photo card included with it, the group name is spelled out as 'vi-yu-den' in romaji. On the cover of Erika and Yui's photobook it is spelled 'Bi-yu-den'. On the cover of their second and third singles it is spelled 'v-u-den'. Which one is correct depends on the romanization system you use or how Tsunku is feeling today.

Yay for Viyuden! I hope YesAsia will take my pre-order for the "Kaccho Ii Ze JAPAN" single and the photobook this time. YesAsia seems to hate my PayPal account.

Are you reading that thread at 2ch, too?

I love the new Ishiyoshi

Since Yui isn't there playing with these two, does that mean we'll get to see her playing with herself?

daigong · « **Reply #5 on:** March 01, 2005, 07:34:33 PM »

That few seconds of Erika ready to fuck Rika is HAWT!! Who knew ERika was this sexual predator? And Rika just taking it in...while Yui is wanking in the corner.

Someone on JPM said the PV airs wednesday morning in Japan, and judging by the screencaps the PV must've aired already. I had a quick look around and didn't find it yet.

YuisBoobs · « **Reply #7 on:** March 02, 2005, 02:59:38 AM »

HOLY SHIT!!! That PV is like one of my dreams come true!

That was me, according to Masa's post up there. Those caps are from a preview TV Tokyo aired this morning.

tamatron · « **Reply #10 on:** March 02, 2005, 09:08:08 AM »

Good girl!

If I had heaps of money, I'd by a stack of CDs like those crazy fanboys. or maybe not.

kraygk · « **Reply #11 on:** March 02, 2005, 11:24:55 AM »

Hah actually its crazy i really dont have to work when im at school. But i got a job i hate cuz it paid better than the one i liked! Yeah i quit once i made enough money! But i wonder how many of these do other people buy? I mean i felt pretty dumb just buying 3 of koi no nukegara. Though if i was old and had a full time job (and no life) id guess id throw down a bunch and get like 10. Thank god a friend buys me alot of the pbs and stuff (so i dont have to go through the shame of getting it haha)

I'm confused. How many versions of CM are there? This one you got from Yui uploader, right? What about the others?

Masa · « **Reply #14 on:** March 02, 2005, 06:20:16 PM »

Yo you guys need to start supporting this thread more.

I just posted this in The Piehole but I'd better post it here too.

Yokoso Japan Weeks news clip (posted in The Piehole a few days ago)
Biyuuden - YOKOSO! JAPAN WEEKS (Channel J, 050225) (2min33sec, 5.6mb)

The same clip, but this one is dubbed in English and the short performance at the end is subtitled in English!

And I may as well pimp this here too.
