They released 2 or 3 singles to modest reception before fading into obscurity. Only member to still have a solo career in JPop is Arashiro Beni. They did manage an appearance on Kohaku though, but only as backup dancers to Ueto Aya.<br /><br />I'm actually surprised that there's still a PV online:<br />http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ccvx_bishoujo-club-21-da-di-da-go-go_musicbontakunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099267454039850265.post-5479437854434992492011-02-16T14:03:20.646+09:002011-02-16T14:03:20.646+09:00Great selection!

Hi! Nice to know someone else feel the s...@Rikki... Hi! Nice to know someone else feel the same about Parago. Not many people I know that knows about them. I still have Faraway as my alternate mobile ringtone. :-) And yeah, I agree that the 3 girl lineup of SweetS was a gem. <br />EARTH was presumably created to emulate the same success SPEED had at that time and to fill in the space SPEED have left behind when they disbanded. Although EARTH was not the only one. Perhaps the media and the fans began to drew comparisons between SPEED and the subsequent group acts making it difficult to follow in SPEED's footsteps. Now only those who bought EARTH's CDs will remember them, I think.<br />I admit I was not really into Folder when the 2 boys was still there, have listened/seen only a few of their singles. But I'm more into Folder5. :-)<br />As for W, yeah I heard about the W unreleased works. Maybe the agency will use it in the future, who knows? Unless the album was tailored specifically for W then it may be difficult, I should think.Ryohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095849693619547147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099267454039850265.post-31174595752760064842011-02-10T16:10:03.359+09:002011-02-10T16:10:03.359+09:00Excellent post. I'd never heard of Earth befor...Excellent post. I'd never heard of Earth before, but I agree with you completely about the others. <br />Folder, by the way, wasn't really 2 boy singers and 5 girl dancers. The two lead singers were one boy, Daichi, and a girl, Akina. The other boy, Joe, was a dancer who didn't sing much. <br />Another SweetS video I encourage people to see is "On the Way" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp0dvgO0BAo) when they were temporarily a 3 girl group while two girls studied for exams. I've always thought it was one of the best choreographed pop video dances ever. There's a moment where Haruna turns to one of the others and sings her line like they are having a conversation. As she does this, she touches the other girl's shoulder the way girls do when they talk. It is a small thing, but I think it is brilliant that the choreographer thought of making it part of the dance. <br />Everything that the new group Happiness is trying to be, Paradise Go Go already was, only better. That's the most puzzling break up of all. That group had beauty and talent. Why would a record company or talent agency put a profitable group on hiatus?<br />Something you may not have known about W: Just before they were put on hiatus they had recorded an album. That album is still in the vaults, unreleased. Talk about walking away from a pile of money. Go figure ...<br />-RikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
