田中れいなバンドメンバー発表! モーニング娘。 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlsIKhCdH-w#ws)
I still suspect Okada Marina and Yui of viyuden are related...
They're an interesting group alright :lol:
Sometimes it felt too crowded, maybe next time they should go in pairs? The current setup is great though
-Okamari's hobbies are fishing and playing darts (No, not at bars. She's the youngest of the group and still underage for that lawl )
-Neesan's hobbies are watching movies, listening to music, shopping and most importantly... drinking xD
She can't stand horrors but loves romantic comedies, same as Reina. Lol and Marin's chiming in and everyone's reaction to her
Marin : I don't get it, I like moe movies better
Everyone else: "Ah.." "There it is.."
*sigh* listening to them discussing whether they'd choose to be bitten if they're in love with a vampire so passionately in their blogs and their radio shows ...
ugghhhh :(
-Low tension Marin saying "Watashi no TURN desu." for her introduction XD :heart: and the silent as a funeral background lmao
Since her coming of age last year she's unexpectedly getting a taste for alcohol too apparently, drinking even in while on the shinkansen. She's more lively and talks a lot more when she's drinking (Reina: Why don't you start drinking before lives from now on then >:3 ? )but she's also the type to immediately fall asleep before getting too drunk though.
Aside from pokemon, anime and games, her hobby is... philosophizing ^^; ? That'd suit her I guess lol
Oh and both her and Neesan already got their driver's license but they rarely drive on Tokyo. It's vital for Marin in Sendai though.
And I agree, I'm more of a fan for Marin, Okamari and Nee-san too...
:lol:

[Exclusive] JpopAsia's Interview With LoVendoЯ
excerpt:
JPA: What are your goals for the band?
Marina Okada: I want to perform in many live houses!
Yuki Uozumi: I would like to go around and fill the live houses with the audience. Little by little, the stage will become bigger and then the production stage will get more appeal.
Marin Miyazawa: I want us to be BIG! I really want us to be more famous.
-
JPA: Do you have plans to release original singles and albums?
Marina Okada: For the moment nothing is decided but everyone will be soon able to hear our songs.
-
JPA: How is performing in a band different from performing as part of Morning Musume? Do you prefer one over the other?
Reina Tanaka: Hum... In fact, I didn't have this feeling when I was in Morning Musume, but now I don't feel I want to dance this much. Even though, in the band nobody dances so it appears I want at least to dance sometimes.
-
JPA: Do you keep in touch with any of your former group-mates?
Reina Tanaka: Not really.
-
JPA: As a result of your success as part of Morning Musume, do you ever feel any additional pressure to succeed with LoVendoЯ?
Reina Tanaka: Not at all! I will let nature take its course!

Yuki Uozumi: At first, Marin was wearing a pink dress and she really looked like an otaku. Then she said she liked Pokémon during the announcement of the members, I thought she was an eccentric young woman, with a bad image.I am giggling at the thought of pink dress otaku Marin gushing about Pokémon. (Marin Pyamu Pyamu?)
I may also post here some of the hundreds of photos we have from the whole weekend.

Ahhh.. I had a lot of fun
In the dressing room (lol)
because
This girl is there the whole time (lol)
Taking out Reina's outfit for tomorrow work as she pleased
Calling Okamari a horse (lol)
And calling Nee-san an athletic aunty and mistaking her name as Aoumi-san (It's Uozumi lol)
Spilling water all over the place...
and making Okamari clean it up (lol)
It all got so messy
but somehow she doesn't make a pass at Marin-chan. Maybe she's scared of her (lol)
Well one way or another it was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow I have to wake up early so I'm gonna sleep a little bit earlier too.

After all is said and done, even though Tanaka-san also wrote about it in her blog, in our dressing room Sato-san (lol) alias Masaking-sama...
toyed around with every one of the members (lol)
(http://i.imgur.com/31Lok3T.jpg)
Here she is eating Nee-san's gummi candy
She appeared in our dressing room like a hurricane (´∀`)
Somehow everyone ended up treating her like a relative... (lol)
My stomach hurts because of all the laughing.

141011 RKB Radio “LoVendoЯ no Love-On!” #67, guest: Kikkawa Yuu
(On Marin and Nee-san’s memories of their high school days…)QuoteNee-san: Like, I didn’t really understand the whole “accompanied peeing,” going into the bathroom together thing.
Reina: “Accompanied peeing“… (laughs)
Okamari: Yeah, it’s like “why can’t you just go by yourself?!”
Reina: That’s funny. I used to do that, too, you know. I mean, toilets are scary!
Okamari: Ahahah.
Marin: Fufufu.
Reina: Don’t misunderstand! It’s not like… it wasn’t like I literally wanted to use the toilet with my friends! It’s not like we went “ready, set, PEE!” (Note: “せーの、シー” (“see no, shii“) in Japanese.)
(everyone laughs)
Okamari: That’d be taking it too far…
Reina: It wasn’t like that. We’d have the usual conversations and stuff, and then everyone would do their thing. Besides, it’s just fun talking with your friends in places like that.
Kikka: That’s true.
Okamari: Ahh. I see, I see.
Reina: I didn’t understand the girls that would go in while holding hands and stuff, but still, it was fun going with my friends.

I can haz question?LoVendoЯ is comprised of two vocalists and two guitarists. They hire random musicians that studio recordings and live performances, but those people are not actually part of LoVendoЯ, so they will not be featured that much (if at all) on camera or in any of the group's releases and promotional materials.
....how come they never show LoVendoЯ's drummer?
this pic is only missing bikinifinally although not all curves are visible
LoVendoЯ's Okada Marina will leave the group and Up-Front Create. She will focus on her fishing activities from now on (link: http://lovendor.jp/news/1902271)
