C-ute is the youngest group to participate Kouhaku and Maimai is the youngest participant

[Blu-Cherri]

ah so if it's listed like this it might mean they are actually performing not just backdancing since they've been on it before haven't they?

[BigDnm01]

yes, they'll be performing their own songs as well as part of a H!P special performance.  at least that's what i've been told... they are appearing as artists in their own right this time, not as MoMusu backup dancers.

[Guchi_Jnr]

You guys should keep an eye open for the 4hr FNS special which is just on at the moment..

H!P were just on.. Don't ask me what they sung though, as I wouldn't have a clue..

[sousora]

I saw the 10th anniversary medley before. Left after that though, no C-ute there...

[kingthaking81]

hm the medley was kinda weak though. Strange how they showed an old clip of lovemachine, while everyone was performing on stage. And what was Berryz doing there as backdancers again? no specialgeneration? hopefully Kouhaku will be better.

Strange how they showed an old clip of lovemachine, while everyone was performing on stage.

With all due respect to the OGs, I didn't like the fact that they did that. The current members all likely worked hard on the blocking and dancing choreography for this massive performance and we got gypped out of a fairly sizeable chunk of it.

[Slack]

If there was a reason for playing that old clip instead of showing the live performance, the only one I can think of is some kind of technical difficulties.  Considering that the sound got all messed up at the beginning of Renai Revolution 21, it doesn't seem too unlikely that something went wrong with the audio.

Regardless, it does suck that they couldn't show the live portion for whatever reason.  It makes me wonder if the show is live or pre-recorded.

Considering it's Japan, I'd bet it was pre-recorded. But even then they should have been able to at least fix that audio glitch.

It depends, if its discovered after the recording when everyone is gone already, there is no way they can recover.
Maybe there is an annoucement somewhere on the FNS site?

Maybe they use a delay system, where they have a few seconds to pop-in something else during which time they try to recover?

News about the sudden shutdown of Gomaki's Blog. It also mention about her bro


ゴマキのブログが突然閉鎖！　ファンに動揺も

　１０月２８日にハロー！プロジェクトを卒業した歌手、後藤真希（２２）のブログが閉鎖された。所属事務所のホームページには、１２日付で「１２月１１日をもちまして、後藤真希オフィシャルブログを終了致しました」とのお知らせが掲載されており、１０月２９日に書き込まれた「ハロプロ卒業」の報告が、ファンへの最後のメッセージとなった。

　ネット上では「このまま続けていってもなんの問題も無いのに」「これでごっちんとファンを結ぶものがなくなりました」「個人的にどこかのブログで書いてくれないかな」と、後藤とファンをつなぐ場が失われたことについて、動揺が広がっている。

　後藤をめぐっては、実弟で元「ＥＥ　ＪＵＭＰ」メンバーの祐樹被告（２１）が窃盗容疑で逮捕、起訴されており、今月１９日に東京地裁で初公判が開かれる予定。また強盗傷害容疑でも今月１１日に再逮捕された。

[~Dan~]

In the last few days her myspace seems to have gone too.

[modesta107]

wtf, Maki had a myspace too?

[~Dan~]

It was in Japanese and seemed like it was real.  Unfortunately I can't find the url - it vanished off my friends list within the last few days so I'm assuming it's been deleted (because I'd feel sad if Maki de-friended me ).
The url was mentioned in a thread here somewhere but I can't find it.

EDIT: Found it thanks to my page on google cache!


http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=1000355177
It now gives the message "Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred.

This error has been forwarded to MySpace's technical group."


http://www.myspace.com/gotomaki
"Invalid Friend ID.
This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has been deleted."

And the page from google cache.

[riyo]

ah, all this news about goto's blog n' stuff being deleted/vanishing makes me sad.
i guess she truly is out of the biz, huh.

about Kirari's New Album "Kirarin☆Land"

破壊力十分！ 月島きらりの魅力たっぷりの2ndアルバム『きらりん☆ランド』

テレビ東京系アニメ『きらりん☆レボリューション』でおなじみ、月島きらり starring 久住小春（モーニング娘。）の2ndアルバム『きらりん☆ランド』がリリースされた。

同アルバムには、彼女がリリースした「ハッピー☆彡」、「チャンス!」、そして彼女が観月ひかる（℃-uteの萩原舞）と組んだユニット、きら☆ぴかの「はなをぷーん/ふたりはNS」などなどのシングル曲、カップリング曲、そして『きらりん☆レボリューション』の来年１月～３月のエンディングテーマソング「Olala」を含む、全11曲が収録されている。

久住小春ファンやモーニング娘。ファンだけでなく、『きらりん☆レボリューション』が好きな子供たちやアニメファンなどからも人気の彼女。アルバムは、“まさにアイドル”といわんばかりのアイドルポップから、フレンチポップにテクノを加えたような楽曲、そして子供たちが喜びそうな言葉遊びと“音”にインパクトがある楽曲などかなりバラエティーに富んでいる内容。中でも「はなをぷーん」はもちろん、最新シングル「チャンス！」のカップリング曲でもある「ラムタラ」、そして新曲「こんにちぱ」といった“お遊びソング”として分類されるであろう、インパクト重視の楽曲での彼女のハジけっぷりが凄まじい。

＜こんにちぱー　こんにちぱー / こんこんにちにちこんにちぱー＞

「こんにちぱ」は、サビが “こんにちぱ” の音の要素だけで構成されている。これだけでかなりの衝撃だ（かつて、サビが“YAH”だけで構成されたCHAGE and ASKAの大ヒットシングルもあったが）。そんな歌詞に加えて、明るく元気なサウンド。さらにCDなのにも関わらず、ヴォーカルが本当に楽しそうに歌っている。ゆえに、子供たちも喜びながら真似して歌うだろうというのは、容易に想像できるはず。インパクトのある歌詞と親しみやすいメロディー（オケ）、そして月島きらりのぶっ飛んだ表現力が見事にかみ合った楽曲といえるだろう。

かと思えば、きら☆ぴかの名バラード「ふたりはNS」なども収録され、特にこれまで月島きらり starring 久住小春（モーニング娘。）が気になってはいたものの、シングルに手を出すタイミングを失っていたという、“ちょっとだけきらりファン”の方々には、ぜひオススメしたいアルバムだ。

もちろん、どっぷりとファンの方々には、歌詞カード（ブックレット）の彼女の写真を見るためだけでも十分に買いであることは言うまでもない。思わず“かわいい～”と声を上げたくなるような画像でいっぱいだ。

なお、通常盤のほか、DVD＋ハッピー★アイドルライフ クルキラカード付きスペシャルパッケージ仕様の完全生産限定盤も同時にリリースされる。

というわけで、きらりちゃんの可愛さ溢れるフォトアルバムをどうぞ！

Oh yeah, not in a sense that they wouldn't get a medley in the first place, but what the hell is up with the title? Special and LOVE is a given probably, but what about C-ute?
