dunno, people at 2ch are commenting about a show in July 27th, but didn't find the info about it.

hey! I wasn't aware of this new Idol Yokocho festival! maybe I go there, since it has several groups that I don't know. (but to tell the truth, only Hime Kyun attracts me...)

don't worry, Negicco will be the main event this year

now 53 groups already announced.

if they at least equal last year event, we can expect more or less 60 other groups to be announced in the next weeks.

the ones added today that I think could be highlighted:

-Up Up Girls Kakkokari
-Allover (now Asfi participation is closer to becoming reality

)
-Super Girls
-Takokusekigun
-Cheeky Parade (the wotas at 2ch were wrong, they`ll participate. at least in one of the days)
-Tokyo Cheer 2 Party
-Dorothy Little Happy
-Passpo
-Bump.y
-BiS
-Fuudanjuku
-Predia
-Lovely Doll
-Baby Raids
-Houkago Princess

the price for the tickets will be 4,800 yens for each day and 8,500 yens for both.

---------------------
seriously, can you pass a chance to see BiS + Passpo + Up Up Girls?? gotta be crazy to do that.

I love the lineup so far.

With the exception of GEM and HimeKyun all of my favorite groups were announced in that update.

SUPER GiRLS, spiral groups (takokusekigun, negaigoto, PowerSpot), Houkago Princess, predia, DLH, Cheeky Parade, BiS.

tsutomo · « **Reply #26 on:** May 14, 2013, 09:07:02 AM »

some major absences till now: Afilia Saga, 9nine, LinQ, Denpa Gumi.inc, Tomato`n Pine, Hime Kyun Fruits Can, Lyrical School, Rhymeberry, Shizukaze & Kizuna, Alice Juban, Mai Kotone, Doki Doki Dream Campus, Naaboudoufu@Nana, hy4_4yh, Party Rockets, Ebichuu...

and we still didn`t have a "surprise name". I`m praying they do it again. Even if the name is Nogizaka46, still better than nothing.

I'm so hyped for TIF. But in a cool way, not a nerdy way.

^ Tomapai disbanded... or did they recently get back together?

My pick for "surprise name" would be your original pick: Perfume. Other non-idol groups I would like are Scandal and Silent Siren. Not expecting or predicting them, but I would see them if they were there.

There are literally hundreds of groups they could still add, but I'm waiting for street-sei, E-Girls (or just Dream), 9Nine, ANNA☆S, ~~EXILE~~, Chimo, and Apple Tale. Honestly I am extremely satisfied with the lineup so far... once they add GEM. I am going to keep writing that until they are added. But it looks like the next update isn't until June. I'm going to try to buy my tickets this week. I can't lie, I'm worried the negicco fans are going to buy all the tickets.

Oh yeah, I missed that

I need LinQ and Party Rockets. And some Yumemiru Adolescense for my eyes.

Surprise name will be Momoiro Clover Z

SO EXCITED. Such a perfect lineup. Only major thing missing is iDOL Street streetsei/GEM.

Read my rant on the groups I'm excited to see at TIF here if you want: www.machis-world.blogspot.com
I also talk a bit about each group and provide some videos and such

you bet they will... negico fans from niigata are hardcore

tsutomo · « **Reply #32 on:** May 15, 2013, 02:38:52 AM »

fuck. I didn't know that Tomapai disbanded.

my bad.

I like what we have so far. but it can be better. I will be EXTREMELY disappointed if Afilia Saga, Hime Kyun, 9nine and other "medium profile" groups aren't added in the next updates. if they follow last year, the next three will be the decisive. in the late announcements just "low profile" groups to add in quantity not quality.

as for the "surprise big name"...

my dream >> Perfume
very unlikely possibilities >> xxx48, H!P, Momokuro, Kyary Pamyu
more realistic possibilities >> Nogizaka46, Silent Siren, Risa Yoshiki
my bet (judging from what I'm seeing) >> none

I'm not too worried about the tickets. last year they sold out the first day just because SKE was there.

GEM and Suto-sei in negotiations.

from supergirls official ameba blog and idolstreet official site!

shurastriker · « **Reply #35 on:** May 16, 2013, 01:28:53 AM »

Well i hope they avoid inviting another ***48/46 because they should focus in more new talent... so i'll be ok if there's no passpo or afilia or fudanjuku but then again if many bigf names aren't there there won't be good sales.

Afilia Saga can skip the festival this year if they are going to have so few time like last year. In exchange the backstage crew should hit and do like 3 or 4 shows in different stages all at the same time with the same songs and all

i was thinking that and would be interesting despite is barely impossible it can happen like that.

Niigata is taking over TIF this year? don't know but i do know some people from there trying to assist in big numbers

qwiksXnd · « **Reply #36 on:** May 20, 2013, 02:43:11 AM »

GEM will perform both days!
http://ameblo.jp/idolstreet-gem/entry-11533807333.html

Unfortunately HimeKyun Fruit Can and nanoCUNE are doing two concerts together on 7.28 so they are at least out for that day. Still hoping they attend on Saturday.

The interesting thing about the GEM announcement is they didn't wait for a TIF update, so I guess it's possible that other groups can do the same and just randomly reveal their participation at their blog or website. I think the next official update is the first week of June and on June 6 those that entered the presale lottery will be notified if they got a ticket.

ohmygosh GEM. ohmygosh GEM. You guys I'm going to see GEM perform live. I'm gonna se Maho! I think if they have a handshake event or something after I might have a heart attack...I really love Maho so so much. Omg. I'm so excited. Such talented girls. Best announcement.

I hated the design of the official t-shirt this year.

3rd announcement will be made next week, according to the producer via twitter.

Yeah I'm really disappointed in the T-shirt design too. I thought last years was really cute, and was hoping for a similar one this year since I'm definitely gonna wanna grab one as a souvenir. It's not awful or anything, though They made a smiley face- it's kinda cute. My biggest thing I liked about last year was the colors and it being really busy while this one is more plain xD
I hope you can buy the shirts there, because I can't really grab it beforehand xD

I was thinking I wonder if people wear the TIF shirt there, their fave idols shirt, or normal clothes? Also wonder if they have glowsticks, and again....their oshis, even if they only see them once? huh. xD
