Les Morning Musume。
Invitées d’Honneur Musique de Japan Expo 11e Impact

Lettre d'Informations du 5 mai 2010


Soundlicious, en partenariat avec Japan Expo, vous présente les Morning Musume。! Retrouvez les 8 pétillantes jeunes filles durant le festival pour des séances de dédicace et une conférence publique !

En 1997, le producteur Tsunku♂ repère et choisit 5 jeunes filles lors d’un casting télévisé et décide de les produire au sein d’un groupe d’Idols : la première génération des Morning Musume。 est née. Au fil des années et des auditions, plusieurs générations de membres voient le jour. En 2003, elles sont 15 !
Dès ses débuts, le groupe enchaîne les singles avec des morceaux pop entraînants, alliés à des chorégraphies amusantes, faisant chavirer le cœur du public japonais ! En quelques années, elles apparaissent partout dans les media : le phénomène prend une ampleur incroyable.
Les Morning Musume。 sont aujourd’hui 8, comptent 11 millions de singles vendus et font salle comble lors de chacun de leurs concerts. Elles fêtent leurs 13 ans d’existence et connaissent un succès jamais démenti !
Ces stars du phénomène Idols sont absolument incontournables au Japon et font déjà des émules en France où vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux à les suivre.  Cette année et pour la première fois, les Morning Musume。 viennent à la rencontre du public européen… à Japan Expo !
Cerise sur le gâteau : à cette occasion, elles marquent le coup avec un concert événement payant organisé par Soundlicious, dans la soirée du vendredi 2 juillet, sur la scène musicale de Japan Expo, après la fermeture du festival. Vous pouvez vous attendre à un show digne de ce nom !

[SomethingWild]

I just heard! 

Btw, IIRC the show will be longer than a usual concert at the Expo, but you have to pay a separate ticket to get in? Is that correct?

edit:

Yes. I am in! There is no reason for me not to go.

I just hope I can get everything organized. Last year, with AKB48, I had a friend with a credit card who pretty much arranged everything... I don't have one.

[Ayabie]

I have no interest in seeing the girls, but this sounds like a good opportunity for Europeans to meet up.

Morning Musume
Music guests of honor for the 11th Impact

2010 May 5th Newsletter

Soundlicious, in partnership with Japan Expo, presents you Morning Musume ! Found out these 8 sparkling young girls during the festival for a signing session and a public conference !

In 1997, producer Tsunku spotted and chose 5 young girls during an audition held on a TV show and decided to produce them under an Idol group : the first generation of Morning Musume was born. Through the years and auditions, several generations of members came to the light. In 2003, they were 15 girls !

Since their debut, singles with lively pop songs followed on, combined with entertaining choreographies, melting every hearts from the Japanese public ! In few years, they appeared on every medias : the phenomenon took an incredible range.

Nowadays, Morning Musume are 8 girls, sold 11 millions of singles and each of their concerts draws full house. They celebrate their 13 years of existence and have a success never denied !

These stars of the Idol phenomenon are absolutely incontrovertible in Japan and have already drawn some fans in France where the number of followers is increasing. This year, for the first time, Morning Musume comes to meet their European public...at the Japan Expo !

Icing on the cake : they will mark this occasion with a not free concert organized by Soundlicious, in the Friday 2nd evening, on the Japan Expo musical stage, right after the festival's closing. You can expect a real show worthy of the name !

so yeah, the concert's ticket cost 27€ according to Hello!France
for the signing and conf gotta get a entrance ticket which is around 12€ http://www.japan-expo.com/en/menu_info/horaires-tarifs_30.htm

edit: Sayu's high five failed 

[nachdenki]

Should I go or not 
I tend more towards not going because I can barely afford it but I'm also not sure if I want to miss this one so "close".

Why can't the flight or train be cheaper? 

btw. do you have to get an expo ticket (if there are such) + concert ticket or is a concert ticket enough to attend the concert?

From what I've read so far, you can skip the expo and just go see the concert. However, that hasn't been confirmed yet. Secondly, if you want to be at the conference/signing session and stuff you do need the expo ticket.

Yes !

Wonky : I'd love to do some tourism

Sayu : We often see some beautiful shops on tv, or beautiful buildings, I would love to buy some cute stuffs from that kind of place

Aika : As for me i've always been fascinated by the french way of living

Junjun : I want to eat French cuisine !

Aibutt : We are looking forward to meet you there !

It was Morning Musume !

[Kio_]

So close yet so far! Argh, why don't I never have money when I most need it?  Some donations please~
I'm still excited that they are coming to Europe...I wish I had money for the flight tickets, hotel and all....

[Mugen]

i am prolly out of this one lol. im so low on dough im wont  be attending even if they come to vancouver 

[Linna2040]

Looking for a person (or two) who can attend all of the MM events and give a formal news report out for new news site, www.OGfuture.com.

Of course, everyone is welcomed to provide their own personal attendee report too.

I will cover/reimburse the cost of the Expo/concerts if you can.

I'll provide guidelines for the kind of information I'd want you to keep an eye out for.  Even if you're not a great writer, as long as you're do a pretty good summary in English, I can polish what you submit. 

PM me if you're interested.  If you have any journalism experience/background, it will be a plus if I get too many interested people.  (I really hope I don't have to point out that this is for serious inquiries only. )

(I'd go personally but I'm committed to the Los Angeles AX this year.)

[adventwriter]

I'd love to go, but I can't even afford to go to AX this year.... unless I get a job in California....

Going to Paris is one thing....but going to Paris and seeing Morning Musume is just awesome....

I'm envious of those who get to go.

[orac]

I'm hoping to be able to go.  Have to try to get a passport as soon as possible, >.>, and also need to get time off work, hoping no one else has at that time yet.

[Serafis_CZ]

Not sure how but I'm definitely going. I just can't afford to miss this!!!

[Blu-Cherri]

well at least the concert being seperate means we won't have a repeat of the failure of the signing session for akb48 last year where you had to QUEUE DURING THE CONCERT aarg
But 27€ is a lot o.o

[chibilolli]

I will hopefully be there. I've just gotta find out who's ass I've got to kiss so I can get the time off of work.

[nimrod]

I probably go too 

the next big JPH!P party will be in Paris I guess 

The first Formule 1 Hotel is booked out for that time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Formule_1

If u want a cheap place go to a Backpacker Hostel ~20 € per night
http://www.backpackingeurope.com/searchresult.asp?Search=Paris&Submit=Search

I already booked one for 4 nights @ www.3ducks.fr

edit2: I'll probably will share a F1 room with some other Fans, will be much cheaper 

[Kea]

Hi everyone,

I'm not very active on this forum (gomen, I'm a lurker) but I'M DEFINITELY GOING!!!      (I saw some of you at Chibi Expo, but dunno if anyone remembers).

I'm French so I can help out anyone having problems with the language or getting around. I'll be there the 4 days. PM me if you need assistance 

\o/
