As I mentioned before in the first post, I was going to back track the shows
The first two parts of the program before the Headbanging episode that was posted earlier, the groups did their PR intros and sing some.
This is a good chance to introduce you to the groups on the program, many who have not been on Pure Idol Heart.
Ponbashi wktk Mates is an idol group that, as their name suggests, bases their activity in Nipponbashi, which is a shopping district in Osaka. They formed in September of 2009, with their motif being focused on Onyanko Club and their boom back in the 80's. At an idol event held in Nipponbashi UPS, "students" of the "Ponbashi wktk Academy" were created. Here, they will be "raised" to hone their skills, such as performing at events with other groups. The academy is opened every Monday at 6:30 pm.
Currently, they're always recruiting for fresh members, and after you pass the judging, you become a trainee. During the trainee period, the trainees mainly get to be able to spend their time performing. After 1 month has passed, a poll is conducted on the last day of training. If you get more than 80% of the vote, you get promoted to "Mates".
Their "Attendance Number System" is adopted from Onyanko Club's "Member Numbers", but one difference is that a new member is assigned a number when a spot becomes vacant; in other words, when a member leaves. They also have official member colours.

From what I've heard in these videos, the girls definitely have singing potential! When I heard Miharu's solo (Linked below), she was definitely straining her voice a lot and cracking, but I heard power and effort! And they look like they have idol material for me. With lots of experience, they can become excellent!
C＊LOVER has several units and idols under contract including Prima Rock [hard rock idols] they are the second group on stage in the clip above. Jewel, they are the third group on stage in the above clip. Ange and others.
