(Group) Ebisu Muscats

[Rezar]

After a couple of tough months Aoi Tsukasa will resume doing events and stuff next month. (in the future I guess we need to check her management for what she's up to -> 8manpro).

The girls have been in Nagoya. I think, they're on their way back to Tokyo on the Shinkansen.
Yuki Yoshizawa and Riku are drinking beer - Asahi Super Dry (I drank that a lot in Japan).
Yuki is the Satomi Yuria of the new muscats. She sure can make booze disappear!
Wouldn't you just love to be on that train? 

speaking of Nagoya, here is a pics during that event..



uhm...An....why are your eyes closed?

They are having fun..









(BTW, the event that they guested in Nagoya is an auto show... neat-oh, yes?)





More of Yuki and Riku's beer-scapades



oh, and a good morning from Rin Matsuoka

[kei_sensei]

Yuki and Riku are like your new gen Kaho and Yuria...plus they mend well like your not-so-typical manzai combi

[Moonlight]

Yuma-chan and her lovely magical smile...damn

[PhantomJin]

Dam*.. Had an amazing fun time didn't you, PhantomJin? Brought back some good stuffs home. (BTW that's TSN Tshirt, isn't it?)
The last song from Anri sounds pretty good for me. 

Ahh... Anri's "Song for the earth" is pretty awesome, and that's my favorite track from the album The trip was great. Well, it takes 30 friggin' hours to travel from Argentina to Japan and I didn't get to see a Muscats Live concert but other than that it was fun.

Yuma-chan and her lovely magical smile...damn

She sure has a magical and heart warming smile

I know this is Initial's job but I couldn't resist the idea of sharing the current week's episode. I won't spoil anything for the moment, just watch it

[kei_sensei]

Anri's album is well-balanced eargasmic album, with several of her songs are mixed by former AV actress-turned-DJ Yu Namiki, which also worked with her in Milky Pop Generation. From the lively and sultry "Liar" to the upbeat techno feel in "Cat Walk" to the mellow tune in "wanna stay with you" to the colorful "Maboroshi Monster" to the Rock-filled "Colours" to the simple yet clean "Song for the Earth," her album is a must-keep for every Ebu*Masu/MPG/Anri fan.

[Tetsujin 28]

There seems to be some genuine friction between Kirara and Nanami.

It doesn't seem as bad as the ill feeling that existed between Rio and Kasumi Kaho.

Holy sh*t, those two REALLY didn't like each other.

There were a couple of times when it came close to Rio and Kaho just going toe-to-toe and bitch-slapping the f**k out of each other.

A lot of the OG Muscats appeared on Kaho's 'Kasumi Radio', but Rio never did. 

Kaho didn't seem to get on with Sora too well either. But, I don't think Sora gave a damn if Kaho liked her or not. 

Any body got any other ideas about Muscats that didn't/don't like each other?

[initial]

my opinion is that Asuka takes advantage at being leader while Nanami may feel that asuka doesn't represent the others members. many girls can overtake the leader based on talent but Asuka remains the leader. and Nanami, as a good sub-leader, should make it known. but again, my opinion, my speculation.

[Tetsujin 28]

Well...I'll have a try a translating what was said.

At around 3:43, Nanami says something like "The number one position is impossible." (which, I suppose, is directed at Asuka).

Asuka then replies to Nanami something like: "It's pointless arguing with an idiot."

Then there is a really awkward silence/pause.

Nanami looks surprised by what Asuka said, and Asuka looks a little embarrassed - as if what she said was stronger than she intended.

I think it started as a 'bit', and then got out of hand.

From what I've seen, none of the current Muscats did as poorly as OG Shinohara. Her score was shockingly bad.

Today is Akiho's Birthday! Happy Birthday to Miss Fancy Acky

Today is also Rin Sakuragi's Birthday!! Happy Birthday Pururin  


I just visited the official site and I noticed that sadly Rirei's profile image has been removed from roster page. I'm definitely going to miss her

Oh, dammit.. So it's true then. I visited the site 2 days ago and she's still there. Two days apart, and POOF!, gone. 

But her graduation isn't at the website's news area, yet. Maybe she's still booked for live shows or something.

Is it me? Or they didn't add mathematics?

[Tetsujin 28]

Yeah, I was thinking the OG Baka test was out of 400.

So this time, it was out of 300, is that right?

Obviously, one section was missed out this time, that they did last time.

Wasn't English part of the OG Baka Test?

If this test was out of 300, Mikami scored about 20%.

Which is much better than Shinohara's 10%.

Looking at the OG Muscats' twitter posts, Shinohara does pop up every now and then.

I think, she was a 'special guest' at one of Nishino's DJ events, recently.

[kei_sensei]

If I remember correctly, there are 4 sections, each is a 100-item test: English, Japanese/Basic Language, Mathematics, and History.

In this Baka No. 1, I saw History, Japanese, and Mathematics #we need to watch that episode again)

I wish they could add the previous one, but it is for the fairness of those who did not take the test, esp the members who entered after that segment.

Also, Momonogi is not present, so if they allow to take test, the list will change a little, which is okay.

We did expect Mirei to be on top since according to her, she is a graduate in a women's university. The top 3 slots were nabbed by the AV members, esp Kogawa who earned the top score of 230.

As for Yua, we might ask some wotas if she took schooling pre-SKE.

And yes, Saemi is very active in those reunions, which is I do love. Good one for her.

Did you buy it too, kei_sensei? That's awesome. I bought it twice I'm surprised at how beautiful Anri's voice is  Thanks for the info.

Yes, this year's test was shorter. It didn't have any english nor math questions. It should be noted that Yura was absent too. I hope she's not leaving again! Maybe there's still hope for Yua
In any case, I have to say Iori is sure very smart. Also, Shina being in the top ten surprised me. She ranked 27th in the 2015 kanji test. I remember reading a twit from her saying she was going to study very hard from that moment on, and she certainly did! Riku and Sae improved too
Ui was a surprise too but for the wrong reasons. I can't believe she ranked THAT low. Kirara took her duel against Nanami very seriously. She kept making fun of her and at some point she said to her "Hey! Look! You stupid!"
Luckily my prediction for Mai's place was wrong. Still, she ended in the Worst Five section. Shame on you, Mai But I still love you 
Yua will have to wear a costume based on her Napoleon drawing. That's embarrasing for sure. Also her name plate will be changed to "Stupid" for the course of a year. Poor Yua

I have the digital copy of the album. A few money conversions worth it!

Oh yeah...I also noticed that Yura is also absent.

Iori score:

国語　kokugo     Japanese   60

一般常識　ippanjoushiki  general knowledge   95

社会　shakai  Social Studies.  75

I'm guessing each section was worth 100 points.

English and maths could have been part of the 'general knowledge' section.

Oh my god her smile. Everytime.

And Happy Birthday Acky and Rin! Two lovely ladies close to my heart.
