(Group) Alice Project Company

[Jul3]

So... I've kinda been waiting to post in this thread till I finish up my Japan trip report, because I fell in love with this group then... saw them 7 times on 4 different days in my 8 day trip...

Since I've only written up 4 of the 7 shows and haven't touched the trip report in a while, I'll just start posting here...
(If you're interested, report on my first two shows is here and the 2nd two is here


Firstly, this is my overall Alice Project oshimen: Amaki Jun from Pa-Ken!

 

Pa-Ken! are the newest of the regular groups and they only have 3 songs, this is their best one, not yet released...




So the other reason I've decided to post now, is cuz a new, kinda sub-group called Idol Youkai Kawayushi (アイドル妖怪カワユシ) is releasing a song called Kawayushi♥Arawaru (カワユシ♥アラワル) on 6th November 2013.



As well as that CD+DVD type, there is one CD only type for each member. And basically, whichever CD gets the most pre-orders, that girl gets to be centre of the song. Also, each type has a solo version of the lead song from that member 

Here's Jun-chan's cover



Here's the link to the official website which has all the links and other good stuff. They limit ordering to 3 from each of the stores to make it more of a pain in the arse to powervote... shipping costs a lot so I just bought 3 from HMV...

Tachibana Anna from Alice Juban is my 2nd fave from all of Alice Project.

They've just put an interview and a load of photoshoots with her on http://mensfashion.cc/interviews/anna-tachibana/

I think this set is really cute

   





And then there are bikini ones

A new, kinda sub-group called Idol Youkai Kawayushi (アイドル妖怪カワユシ) is releasing a song called Kawayushi♥Arawaru (カワユシ♥アラワル) on 6th November 2013.

Idol Youkai Kawayushi♥ debuted in the Alice Project PARMS theatre on 2013/10/20.



I uploaded the full show here which was/is available to watch on nicolive: H!O torrent.

You can see the performance of Kawayushi♥Arawaru from that show here:



Here's the audio only studio version:



At the end of the show, they announced the preliminary rankings... and to my massive surprise, Jun-chan came first...



CONGRATS GIRL!

Hope she maintains that position for the final results which I think come out a day before single release (single is out on Nov 6th, buy from http://idolmokushiroku.com/)

My screencaps of her speech:




There's a load of photos from the show on http://www.girlsnews.tv/alice/109780

And a nice write-up in English of this single release: http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/idol-kawayushi-debut-20131012093.html



In other Jun-chan news, her 18th birthday was on the 16th, and she had a birthday show on the 21st.








In further Jun-chan goodies, there's an interview, and 110 amazing photos in 10 outfits, (including bikini ones) over here: http://mensfashion.cc/interviews/jun_amaki/

So, Pa-Ken! are going to be disbanded and a third masked group formed --> "Armour Girls"

Pa-Ken! will hold a one-man live on December 27th at PARMs, whilst Alice Juban and Steam Girls are off performing at the Budokan. They only have 4 songs so a "one-man-live" is kinda silly, particularly as OZ and Slime Girls will also be performing so it's not really a "one-man" live...

On December 30th they'll graduate all members of Pa-Ken!

On December 31st, Armour Girls will debut, and will first perform Pa-Ken! songs re-arranged into the style of the new unit then debut a new song

And in 2014 they'll be a second generation of Pa-Ken!

Hmm. Not really sure what to make of all this. I obviously love Pa-Ken! because of Jun-chan, and Kokoroido is probably my idol song of the year, and the style of Armour Girls could be anything. However, it could be positive as the new group could get more promotion like Alice Juban and Steam Girls. It will be interesting to hear the re-arrangements and if Pa-Ken! 2nd gen will still perform the old ones...

(Oh, and they are showing the PARMS Alice Project on Sunday on nicolive: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv162024630 , like before I'll download it and re-upload somewhere before it disappears...)
