This seems to be a new unit?



And about Saki of POP - a very interesting, but strange, announcement.
http://pureidolheart.net/2015/10/saki-kamiya-faces-challenge-to-stay-in-idol-group-pop/

Why the hell they go to such extremes? But I hope to hear from mixedmedia and Rezar that they were cheering for her at the course XD

Yeah even I think it's kind of messed up that she has to complete a marathon to be let back into the group . . .

It's obviously just a stunt, as I recall it had already been confirmed she will be back with the group on the show on the 12'th of December - so even if she fails to complete it whey will come up with a reason to allow her back in.

It seems to me if they really wanted her back in the group they wouldn't make her go through this. Yeah it looks like a publicity stunt, and a good one at that. I'll be following it closely.

That Peggies song is pretty good.

Yeah that's the thing, if they're going to let her back into the group anyway, why make her have to go through all that?

1. It makes the whole thing pointless.

2. If she fails, it'll look bad on them when they have to create some PR reason to justify going back on their claim of kicking her out.

Although this wouldn't be the first time a idol group member was given a ridiculous challenge they had to complete or they would have to leave the group.

Publicity I guess!

Like Deep Girl said they would disband if they didn't get #1 with their single, they failed but decided to keep going, it seems like these kind of things happen all the time in Japan.

I think in this case, the management realized the initial goal was improbable and set it to something a little more realistic.

Also selling a certain amount of records or chart position is one thing, but being told that we're leaving you in the mountains and you have to get to the concert venue in time or you're out of the group is a different thing entirely. Sales and chart positions are dependent on the actions of other people, having to run to the concert venue by a certain time, you're completely on your own with that.

I wonder if there is a kind of idol only high school in Tokyo?

What makes me think that is that I see several girls from Amuse, a girl from FYT a girl from TGS independently mentioning that they are going to Hawaii for a week - they are all in the same grade (17 years old), it surely can't be a coincidence!

Also why do I even care.....  :shocked

I heard that like the previous POP/BiSH ekiden when they ran from Shibuya to Atami and back over 2 days, there is a chance that there will be a live broadcast during the whole race. Was joking with another Saki fan that maybe there will be some "technical difficulties" during the night and when they come back, Saki will be magically further along than physically possible. Saki being offstage has made me come to appreciate the new members but if she leaves, I will be at a loss for sure.

Oricon top 10 was impossible for DEEP GIRL so they were allowed to keep going when they sold more than 10,000. Went to a free event they did and after the handshakes, I think that was a big reason why they did so well. If any of them remember me when I see them again, I'll be thoroughly impressed. They definitely lost some cute points with Yuyu leaving though.

Cute and smoking doesn't really work for me!



It's BPM15Q consisting of Rinahamu and some other girl.

"some other girl" is nicamoq, who I think produced a lot of their music and is a selfie-taking champion, which is why they got to go to Singapore.

BiS posed with cigarettes too before so unless BPM actually shows them smoking in a video, I'll assume it's done to shock people.

In Japan, there are a lot of cute young women who "don't look like they smoke" who do.

Yeah looks more like they are posing with cigarettes the question is why?

But I think a lot of the former BiS girls do smoke, I know at least Pour Lui, UK and Uika do.

New Chu-Z song and MV. I really like the style of it.



And one of my favourite songs by them live.
