New video. Is it me or does it seem HKFC is trying to make their dances cuter lately?

I'm starting to realize I've never paid attention to their dances. So I have no idea if this is cuter or not . . .

It's the same person who did the choreo for "Dead Gimmick", which I thought was a little wacky for them. First impressions were that the choreo for this song are also kind of silly or trying to be cute.

The choreographer is Minami Sasuga, who got in trouble for wearing an outfit that had the words "I Love Cock" on it when she was on a children's show.

I'm used to HKFC being cool and doing lives with no MC so the recent direction is kind of off-putting.

no offenses, but I have no idea what you are talking about. the choreo for the new song (btw I praise them for the fact this song is pretty unique, but didn`t like the melody so much) isn`t cute at all, it`s actually fierce and goes well with the beat of the song. if you consider this "cute", well, I wonder how you`d call most of their old choreos. see "watashi daichi kibou", "strawberry kiss", "koi no binetsu"...

have no idea what you mean by "recent direction" neither. the groups still does almost no MCs performing non-stop, with the rockish intro and that "superman theme" in the end. they still use cool white and black clothing most of the time. so basically nothing changed afaik. if anything, I'd say the group is progressively making songs more mature than before, which means walking in the opposite direction you are implying. 

oh and btw, hime kyun will always be recognized by their "cuter" approach to rock/idol rock. don`t need to go further than one of their shows somewhere: always the two songs that make the fans (myself included) go wilder are still "strawberry kiss" and "koi ga tomaranai". this is enough to show you there's a demand for a "cute Hime Kyun".

Would be interested to see them with the new line-up.

New FRUITPOCHETTE debut performance from TIF:



On first look, yeah, Rum is promising, her screams are awesome. I don't seem to like Zuma's vocals. Chocolatebits is still a really good song, but not too keen on the other two. On the whole I think I'd like them to be less cutesy/smiling/happy and a bit more badass in on-stage attitude.

oh wow...I'm sorry to say that I didn't like that at all...I mean, i knew it would be different without Mina but, damn...Shiori was always the worse singer of the 2, and, while it seems like she's improved alot, I don't think her voice is at the level to carry the group (at least from this performance it seems like she's doing most of the singing and the new girl just does the death metal vocals)...to be honest, I was secretly hoping that they'd just have Mayu do double duty for both nano rider & fruitpochette.

Err, strangely, and I didn't realise this, but FRUITPOCHETTE released their 3rd single just before Rum debuted... 『絶叫-Unlash−』on 8/5

You can hear the whole thing live in this twitter vid: https://twitter.com/shiorizuma/status/766220420726923265

So, it seems RUM has already left FRUITPOCHETTE and her twitter deleted etc.

News from ZUMA

https://twitter.com/shiorizuma/status/771708207366443008
http://ameblo.jp/shiori-azuma/entry-12196230215.html

This girl Narasa Kyuri will join as a new member from 9/24. Apparently she's a soloist and will continue her solo activities concurrently.

All this hoopla, auditions, building hype for the member reveal... for this? The reasons are kinda vague too. Personal reasons? Did she get into a fight with Shiori?

I didn't mind the girl. I just thought there was too much growling, and not enough actual singing. But that wasn't really her fault. She was cute. Too bad.

I just hope the group will find some stability and continue on what they've built in the last few years.

In the meantime it seems like ex-member Teratani Mina is doing BABYMETAL cosplay and cover versions at anime conventions... not sure what to make of this really...

Probably just having some fun. Those things are probably not as demanding physically. Either that or she got better. When she quit, the health reasons she cited sounded pretty bad.

Seems like FRUITPOCHETTE will be Shiori solo from now on until 2017/07/30 when they will disband...

Not that surprising really... they've been in a mess for a long time.
