Title: [06/07] S/mileage 1st indie single [Ama no Jyaku] (Preview pg.3)
Post by: tiny on April 04, 2009, 02:22:55 PM
Tsunku has announced a new Egg unit on his blog. He has not yet decided on a name. The members are Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon, and Ogawa Saki.

D: OMG

AKARI GOT ROBBED!!! GAHH!!

edit:
(If you didn't notice, it's basically Shugo Chara Egg -Akari +Ogasaki. While I'm happy for the other Eggs, I really like Akari and am now a bit sad for her, especially since my impression about Ogasaki changes every day - on the one hand she's cute and has good stamina singing, on the other her voice isn't really that great, kinda whiny actually, and her personality does little for me)

Totally awesome news. The chosen members were chosen before-hand by Tsunku, but it wasn't announced to them until the last MC at today's concert. :lol: Yuukarin was the only one teary eyed.

The unit only consists of four members at the moment, but as Tsunku watches their lessons/concerts/rehearsals he will either decrease or increase the member count.

Post by: shirenuファクトリー on April 04, 2009, 02:52:48 PM
...BUT ANYWAY I'm happy that there's gonna be Eggs doing a major debut and now that Ayabie said that the members might still change I'm not gonna be too emo about it. YEAH!!


These members are going to be promoted to official members, right??


edit: OK SORRY STILL TALKING ABOUT OGAWA I mean of course it was obvious that she would be debuting sooner or later since she's the Egg that's been pushed at concerts a lot and she does have potential etc. blah blah. But because these members were so Shugo Chara, of course I noticed Akari missing first and that's what I reacted to. LOL

No idea, they (Tsunku) didn't say anything about graduating, both at the announcement and his blog.

hmmm .... no idea ... it could be just like Tomoiki Ki o Uetai, but I do hope it's a REAL group

really happy for Saki3

lol

Ogawa Saki! =D
Finally she's in a group! And with Yuuka!
Hope that they will actually be active and release singles.

Wow, so Saki-chan actually gets to be something other than egg  :w00t:
Yay, Kanon and Yuuka!  :wub: I don't know much about Ayaka but Yay as well!

I was wondering when an Egg unit would be announced now that Elder Club is gone. This is a super awesome unit! I'm so happy that it has Yuukanon and DAWA! No Akari is sad, but she might still be added XD And I was wondering when Ogasaki would debut!
Title: Re: [News] New H!P Egg unit to make their major debut
Post by: mini*wheat on April 05, 2009, 02:07:33 AM
MAN. I'm pretty torn about no Saho....

I do like Ogasaki and DAWA though, so good for them! Hopefully we get to see some more awesome eggs join in the future. Like Sengoku... Or Morisaki... or Aoki Erina!!  :heart:

Post by: Aioros on April 05, 2009, 05:58:55 AM
Yay new Egg unit! I like how the eggs units are composed of girls who seem to be close friends, these are the same girls who are usually together on the pics in their respective blogs.

But poor Akari got shafted :cry:

I hope she gets to be in unit with Sengoku, Sekine or Kikka... :lol:

sounds pretty much like momusu style... i bet it reach a total of 5 or 6 members and then a new unit will appear XD

He actually did tell them in advance after all. Yuukarin caught me off guard by crying the at concert. :lol:

Short clip of Tsunku giving them the announcement (http://www.mediafire.com/?xddm2n4zg40). It was supposed to be limited to FC members but they're not very bright.
Title: Re: [News] New H!P Egg unit to make their major debut
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on April 06, 2009, 01:26:09 PM
Thanks Ayabie!!!! I hope they'll stay non-bright forever. :heart:

I actually miss this kind of backstage stuff. Like ASAYAN. :lol: Announcing stuff. Making kids compete. Tears. Sadness. Happiness. Success. AHhH the drama!
Title: Re: [News] New H!P Egg unit to make their major debut
Post by: 楊枝君 on April 06, 2009, 04:36:33 PM
I hope this leads to increased competitiveness within the Eggs, that's part of what made H!P so much fun.

You know, they could add Nocchi to the group and it could be like a mini Morning Musume (with a slightly less crazy age gap XD). They already have a Fukuda as it is, so it's a good start XD Though if this did happen, I'd like this mini Momusu to be more entertaining.

probably uploaded by a FC member right? just like those PV previews for the cellphone.

the only thing about i can tell so far is that by judgubg the picture Yuuka is the leader, or maybe the unit is yuuka + the rest... not sure since i'm not even sure if those are the actual outfits but is obvious that Tsunka likes Yuuka and will promote more.

Rofl my bank gave me an S'miles card to get points, I don't suppose I can redeem them with Tsunku? XD

The name's adorable though XD I take it that means that the line-up is pretty definite then.

I think saying the lineup might change was more to keep the girls on their toes than actually change the lineup maybe.

Post by: Ayabie on May 10, 2009, 03:35:49 PM
Don't ask me why, but apparently some guy records his adventures during handshake events. :lol: Anyway, he asked Yuukarin and Dawa who the leader was, the second time was for confirmation from Dawa:

#001 (http://www.mediafire.com/?jmthntijzkb)
: Is Kanon the leader?
Yu: No, she isn't.
: So it's still pending?
...
: Who's the leader? Is it Ayaka?
Ay: Yes, it is (lol)

#002 (http://www.mediafire.com/?aynidnmot3x)
: Are you alright with being the leader for S/mileage?
Ay: Yeah (lol)

Just take this with a pinch of salt for now. :lol: Although, in terms of seniority Dawa is the oldest member.

I was expecting the group to be named something like nochiura natsumi but this name is good too.

There seems to be some misunderstanding here since that's only footage from the making of, and not the actual PV. :lol: I'd reckon it takes a lot more cash to rent a building rather than the usual green-screen setup.

i.e it's managed by Tsunku, as opposed to UFW.

WAIT! Maybe this single is only going to be under TNX and then the rest of the releases will be under up front because s/mileage hasn't graduated from H!P yet and they are still doing H!P concerts and performing with Mano. If the officially go to TNX then I will be very upset but for now I'm not going to overreact. Does anyone have the full song? Please share it :)  :lol:

Ayabie and shi I expected better of you
*takes a deep breath*
THE TNX PAGE ACTUALLY LINKS BACK TO HELLO! PROJECT AND UFW!!!!
THEY'RE ALSO NOT UNER NGP WHICH WOULD BE WHAT TSUNKU WOULD DO IF HE ACTUALLY MOVED THEM TO HIS OWN WORLD
no panicking until this is announced please, as it is they're still with UFW


sorry for the bold yelling but I've had to say this so many times today -___-"
if it's too much i'll take the bold away, but I needed to counteract shi's overreaction to this.

oh yeah I'm allowed to swear here....
ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEING WITH NGP IS NOT THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD!!!!
Just cuz you gave up following them doesn't mean everyone else has....

@Blu-Cherri: It's nice of you to look at it positively, but it just doesn't make any sense.

- Mano Erina and C-ute were both under UFW during their indie period
- They had no reason to do this (http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs140&d=09234&f=hpimg1035565.jpg), and remove it a few hours later if it didn't mean something
- The people who worked on Ama no Jyaku are TNX staff
- UFW are too busy pushing forward Manoeri, and it will probably last another year
- As it is now they're practically the successor to The Possible (All members were Eggs and under Tsunku's management during their indie period)

I don't know what to think. Disproving this is the fact their official page is still H!P and the possible member changes in the future.

Basically the TNX site was updated with the release info, and in this case GFR being the publisher is huge -> The news makes it to the public followed by confusion -> The single disappears from the site a few hours later

It's not like the TNX website maintainers never make mistakes...

Also, remember TNX does not equal NGP. TNX is a production company owned by Tsunku under the umbrella of the Up-Front Holding. In fact TNX produces many UFW releases, look at the credits of the Morning Musume albums from the last several years for example. It is entirely possible that TNX now handles the production and marketing of Up-Front's indie singles. A little internal UF restructuring, so to speak.

Note that I speak only of production and marketing. Management is entire other matter. Unless otherwise can be construed the members of S/mileage are still with their current management agency (Up-Front Agency?).

It is good to know that there are different companies performing different tasks to create the products "idol" and "CD/DVD release".

So a release suddenly appearing under the Good Factory label does not mean that the artist has changed management or is now part of an other brand (H!P vs NGP).

^But it's back on the site with GFR...it's in the release section.
The NGP girls use TN-MIX to release their singles according to the tnx website.
The single is just using GFR like buono use pony canyon.
Here is a photo of the back of the single.

still has that H!P eye thing.
I mean yeah maybe in a year or so he might move them to NGP but if they're successful it won't make a difference and if they're not that successful then...well I don't see it making much difference either...

^When I first heard this I wondered if it worked out better financially to use GFR rather than UFW(which isn't usualy its own label)
