(Group) Ebisu Muscats

[initial]

that does not look like Rina
it looks like she discovered her long lost Latina side...which is fine by me

I swear everyone in my neighborhood would speak Spanish to her.  Dang, she looks it~ 

[remy_R]

But speaking of looking different...I was right again.
remy_R this is your girl

Whaaaaat??? 
That hair, that make up, that lips.. Totally different with Rina that I know.. 

NEW UPDATE :
Due to a lot of demands, seems like a DVD of their last concert will be released on July 31st.

Interesting thing I heard about Ms.Westbrook was that the company where she does her "other" work was sponsoring a wrestling event in Japan. They sponsored the main event, a four way battle where the winner earns the illustrious title of "Ideapocket Champion". But as a great incentive the other prize is a date with Ms.Westbrook herself. Here she is, at around the 6.30 mark, with the wrestlers

I'm planning on having a EbiMasu marathon soon, it's gonna be tough but I've kept myself away from the show for some time I gotta relive those great moments.

question
do you re-watch past episodes?
which one is your favorite?

I used to re-watch a new episode multiple times until the next one
one of my favorites has to be when they were looking for the center for the Honey Trap video and all the girls had to eat some hot food.  who had the best reaction would be the center.  Rina Rukawa, come on down.  i still think BMS Ohashi Sayoko won.

update:
another fave episode has to be the Yuma graduation episodes.  I love how quickly she can cry.

do you re-watch past episodes?
which one is your favorite?

I'm still watching those old great episodes, to recall any great moments on OneMasu
I have 2 favorite episodes:
1. The final episode with everyone plunge into the hot water pool. That was a great chaos.   
2. And when the Muscats went to Fuji-Q amusement park (and one episode before), the shopping game in supermarket, eating competition (I love this competition ), and.. with Acky, Rio, Rina and Aino were forced to rode the roller coaster. Their faces afterwards were awkward, with every shock they got while riding the roller coaster.

do you re-watch past episodes?

1. I haven't really looked back at old Muscats episodes for some reason...perhaps it's because only a few Muscats are catching my attention as of now (Rina Rukawa, Aya Shiina/Uruha Mizuki [no sign of anything active so she's probably done with the AV industry or dead], Mui Kuriyama [through skills ftw], Aino Kishi-Westbrook) and for some odd reason the girls don't seem to have as big of an impact as they used to. Like, other girls seem to be catching my attention (Minami Minegishi, Anna Konno, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, etc.) because, well, they're still active. It's hard to follow ALL of the Muscats being that the group ended a month ago. Like, does anybody have an idea what Yui is doing? Or does anyone have a clue what Airi Kijima is up to? Maybe I sound like I'm drifting off but, well, it is what it is.
2. Do y'all remember when Mui performed "Tsukema Tsukeru" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu? As of right now that remains my favorite, since, well, it's Mui and it's Kyary. But that's just one moment compared to a lot of moments. As a collective episode, I'd say my favorite overall is when Airi Kijima and Hana Haruna took the spotlight, for what seemed like the first time. I haven't seen an episode with a lot of Airi Kijima screen time (this episode would have featured Uruha Mizuki had she not left but what can I do). The amusement park episode also remains one of my favorites as well. It is the episode with the most Uruha Mizuki screentime so that's why...and it features Rio and Westbrook screaming on a roller coaster

Oh wow I made the 100 mark...let's dedicate this to...





 

[remy_R]

Hurray! 100 pages already 
and Rina still hasn't updated her blog 
Are we not going to do something special about this 100 pages?

Anyway, it's May 12th in Japan, say happy birthday to..

Happy Birthday Rion..


Found these pictures on their blog, a bit blurry with Manami's, but doesn't matter, kawaii is kawaii anyway. 

[Tuffty]

Happy Birthday Rion!!

Oh Rio



That last pic? Oh godddddddddddddddddd

[L4verra]

So Rina has new photos lying around, and the folder came out with 200+ photos
Some of which are nsfw but hey, you have nice photos like this:



And you have provocative photos like this:

Happy Birthday Rion!!

Rion is a real cutie I must say...and there's this girl I knew who was a big Muscats fan, who of course picked Rion as her favorite.
Happy Birthday Rion

the goddess of Gluttons, oh I'm happy Ogura updates her blog.   
yesterday I was at my laptop and then BANG, my playlist shuffle begins playing, ebisu muscats:  chocolate.
I swear I had to change the song because I felt a tear building 
I don't when but I might be able to listen to one of their songs in the near future without caving in. 

[L4verra]

Alright y'all, remember when I said my uncle would pick up stuff from Japan, or anything Muscats related that he could find.
I posted this on Instagram a while ago, and just put the Cyzo magazine with Ms. Westbrook on it so it would give a better feel to the photo.
But he got me two of their singles (Ropponpon Fantasy and Honey Trap) and one of them came with a performance DVD showcasing some of their concerts. When you really think about it, it kinda sucks that the venues were so small. Even when my uncle asked around, he couldn't exactly find Muscats gear. Apparently AKB owns the place, which makes sense...
But I digress, this DVD came with footage from their early years in 2011 with Risa, Mui, Ririka, and of course when Yuma was leader. Watching this DVD makes me miss the group like crazy...especially Mui, Rina and Westbrook. But it's fun to watch this DVD. It's fun to relive the happiness the Muscats brought to us.



Muscats all day baby.

[remy_R]

But he got me two of their singles (Ropponpon Fantasy and Honey Trap) and one of them came with a performance DVD showcasing some of their concerts.

That's cool. I want to buy the early singles but they'll cost me a lot, even the shipping cost almost one third of the stuff's cost.
Buying it straight from Japan maybe cost less expensive, I think.
Do they come with some bonus pictures? A poster or member's photo?

Found this a while ago,

Shou's childhood photo.

Sola's recent instagram pic has me worried. Look at her, she's so thin

[initial]

 
WHOa, that head is gonna crush her thin body. 

on another note, I was surfing through some sites (like you do) 
and was pretty left amazed and scared when I saw this AV idol called RYU (ryu eba or 江波りゅう)
I swear I thought I was looking at Yamaguchi Manami's debut into AV.  dang, I was scared.  She is a natural beaut but AV?  If that's her only exposure then, I'm not sure.  but the resemblance is pretty striking. 

[remy_R]

Sola's recent instagram pic has me worried. Look at her, she's so thin

Thin, indeed. Maybe she's too busy lately that she forget to eat
And that hairstyle. I'm not used to seeing her with another hairstyle. I miss her one-sided harajuku style

I swear I thought I was looking at Yamaguchi Manami's debut into AV.

Gee.. The first two pictures really look like Manami.


Lately, I've been paying more attention to this girl

Sweet smile, cute face. 

And this site
http://www.mihiro.tv/
has a collection of her photos (non AV).
I have no idea why she was out from Muscats lineup at early period and didn't stay long till the end like Rio, Acky and Aoi (from 1st generation too) did.

[Tuffty]

^ Possibly because she was an AV star like the rest but she retired from the business around that point. Because of the connection between the Muscats and AV companies over there, leaving the AV company means having to give up on Muscats. See what happened with Risa Kasumi. But I agree, Mihiro was missed. Cute face, voice, funny.

This has been a trend lately. First we see Yuma getting thin because of the illness which sidelined her near the end of the Muscats, and now we see Sola like this. It bothers me a little bit, being that, well, I didn't think any of the other Muscats would be as skinny as Westbrook...perhaps it's for some movie she is filming? I dunno. But either way, I'm not too proud to see most of the marquee Muscats reach anorexia nervosa levels. And I know a bit about it after doing research in abnormal psychology. And no, the reasons behind it aren't exactly pretty...

I swear I thought I was looking at Yamaguchi Manami's debut into AV.

Gee.. The first two pictures really look like Manami.

I love how we are now running into girls who look a lot like Muscats
Like, just the other day I discovered this girl named Mai Shiraishi, from Nogizaka46.
She looks...familiar somehow...



I just can't seem to put my finger on who she looks like...



Wait...



 

[initial]

not the best pictures for comparison, but whenever I watch a jdrama with fukada kyoko, I always see Akiho.
dang, i love that picture of Acky.   

[remy_R]

Even kids love Purukawa Rangers   
       

And speaking about resemblance.
I'll vote for these two.

She's Putri Titian, a celebrity from my country. I don't know when that picture was taken (maybe when she's younger), but I think, they're almost 90% look alike. 
(the differences are only the hairstyle and she has a bit darker skin).

UPDATE
So Mihiro's birthday was yesterday (May 19th, Japan time).
Happy Birthday..

MORE UPDATE
(I'll just put it here)

Featuring Kasumi Kaho and Mihiro (also Ogi-Yahagi, Onemasu's main MCs).
Funny show.

[initial]

I swear Rina, Shou, and Saemi would love those girls.  very adorable pic.  plus, Mihiro and Putri look so alike.
