Hi guys, i am new here.
I am going Japan on 22-29 and will be visiting PARMS. Wonder if anyone have details on getting the ticket. I am afraid if I got the ladies night ticket

Don't know which weekdays are ladies night.

Anyone will be going on these days too? Great to have a companion.

Thanks.

^ I'll PM you my guide....

Alright! Since their official website reports it, sales of the new single Genki da ne☆ have reached 132k on Oricon weekly charts!

Makes them #1 and apparently it's the 3rd ever indie label single to ever reach #1 on Oricon.

http://www.alice-project.biz/report?id=252

Oricon will update with exact numbers for the week tomorrow, but here are the daily numbers (and position after) from The Natsu Style, since Oricon has finally updated the daily rankings, but doesn't give numbers (apart from yesterday)

2014/12/29 - 108,994 - 1
2014/12/30 - 2,247 - 3
2014/12/31 - 6,162 - 1
2015/01/01 - 2,919 - 1
2015/01/02 - 3,393 - 1
2015/01/03 - 3,573 - 1
2015/01/04 - 4,224 - 1

Summing that up makes 131,512 which matches what the Alice Project website said.

Edit: just seen that most of the text at that AP website is lifted straight from the Oricon article: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2046807/full/
And Tokyohive have translated the Oricon article: http://www.tokyohive.com/article/2015/01/kamen-joshi-becomes-the-first-female-indie-artist-to-top-oricon-weekly-single-ranking-

Also, CD reservations for this single at PARMS have now crossed the 200k mark!

Congrats to Alice Project... with their new weekly show starting on the 7th on TV Tokyo, with these strong Oricon showings and that, the push for SSA in November is on.

News footage of Kamen Joshi, I can spot a certain forum member in these vids

Also, Maidigi released a vid on the newly re-launched Machikado Keiki☆Kamen Joshi↑

Edit: and this one

Tokyosportsmovie digest of Nanaka's seitansai:

She looked absolutely beautiful in her dress earlier in the day!

It was Yuki's seitansai the day before, and she looked great in a dress, too.

Haven't seen a vid of her one yet though.

Official Oricon numbers confirm the same amount as summing up The Natsu Style's for the first week:

131,513.

Funny how Oricon couldn't use the image for the CD cover since they've been using it for the daily rankings.

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/w/2015-01-12/

And the Soundscan rankings are hilarious with their 12 types

http://www.phileweb.com/ranking/cd-top20/1900.html

Summing up the 12 types gives 139,873.

Only the Japan Record Award winners spoiling Kamen Joshi taking the top 12 places

And seeing the girls reactions to their weekly #1 was great!

When I was there yesterday, the sales board said something about 206,000 copies sold. Should give them a high position in 2nd week too.

And no, that was Jun's face after she saw me [emoji6]

Not sure when I can get down to PARMS again so maybe I should just order all 12 versions off of Amazon or HMV (so I get points at least) to be part of this historic moment?

john_hung · « **Reply #469 on:** January 07, 2015, 07:29:08 PM »

this one's pretty cool, with the old footage mixed in and all

Haggu · « **Reply #470 on:** January 08, 2015, 05:03:47 AM »

Yeah, it added a nice touch to it having the old footage in there.

. Still trying to figure out what's going to help more, buying copies of genki dane from parms directly or going to any old music store in Japan. Mainly because of how theatre sales (to my understanding) weren't getting counted by oricon.

first episode of the new show

Haggu · « **Reply #472 on:** January 08, 2015, 01:30:43 PM »

Good episode, it had a bit of everything for everyone with fanservice from both sides of the spectrum. I have a good feeling I know what Jul3's favourite part was haha.

The commentary during that first part was pretty amusing as well.

Thanks for linking the show john_hung

My fave part was the clip of Natsu da ne from Zepp Tokyo 2nd at the end, with all the yellow lightsticks

And then the 5 second part of Nanaka skipping.

Wasn't that keen on the two main segments, they were just a bit weird. Hinako's singing was quite cute, I guess, and Jun and Erina's section kinda what I expected... but with far far far less boobs... Japanese school swimsuits don't really display any, and for a section on boobs they sure spent a lot of time with their butts sticking infront of the camera. All in all, a very weird segment.

Anyway, they've uploaded a vid of Sakura Yuki's seitansai now:

And they were on Mezamashi TV for a bit, with interviews of some fans, including the main Jun fan. But that vid has been removed from YT now

Well..this is awkward <.< haha. I guess given who your oshi is I jumped to conclusions, sorry about that x_x But yes, I actually do agree with you, that first segment whilst I did find the commentary somewhat amusing, the actual "content" and what was going on was err...not quite what I was expecting and a strange choice for the first segment of their debut episode. Hinako's segment on the other hand I thought was pretty cute and I liked that part more so. I look forward to seeing what they show in the next episode.

oh nice, they wore the old alice juban outfits

^ Oh nice - now all the songs from the single are online. The Akiba Sandals no Uta one doesn't sound as good as Genki da ne or Marine Road to me. And Steam Girls just completes all the different versions of Adventure, I prefer the other ones. That violin version of Genki da ne was interesting though - kinda sounded like Armor Girls!

Haha, no worries. Jun's my oshi, but I don't oshi her for boobs - I prefer her really cute idol side. In fact, when I first met her, I didn't even notice her boobs - until I showed my cheki with her to a friend, and her reaction was "woah, oppai!". I don't really like how they are only pushing her for her boobs, it's all a bit overwhelming and there's a lot to Jun than just that. When I first followed Jun it was before she had that boob twitter account btw, she only started that when she turned 18, before then, it was pretty rare to see Jun in bikini, now it's everywhere. I still support Jun in her gravure works, cuz she's my oshi, and it's great for her that she is getting so much work that way, and I wish her all the success in that.

Haggu · « **Reply #478 on:** January 11, 2015, 02:16:15 AM »

^ Yeah, I totally understand what you mean, and whilst Jun's not my oshi, I can definitely see there's a lot more to her than what she seems to be getting pushed forward as. Heck, all the girls within the company have plenty of charm already without having to expose anything. Also, we're in agreement on Akiba Sandals no uta, I didn't think it's as good as the other two tracks either.

^ Good stuff
