Momoiro Clover Next Single Preview

Here is the single preview portion of yesterday’s Momoiro Clover USTREAM show.
I do not know how everybody else will feel, however I really like Koko ☆Natsu [Coconuts] .It`s upbeat, fresh sounding and from the little dance tease the girls do in the preview, it looks like they really enjoyed making the PV.

On Going Show Update

Clover had to leave the broadcast and currently their staff is continuing to preview not only the single, but different mixes of the song that feature the individual members.

As for the single that Clover previewed, it just maybe one of the best Idol songs to come out in sometime, that does not have a name with the number 48 attached to it.

It`s an easy song to get into and the member mixes that the staff is playing is just as good.

Right now we are unable to see the PV ,however Clover did a little of the dance and it`s going to be a great video from the sound of their excitement and how much the staff keeps saying laughing and the excitement they are expressing in the live broadcast.

New Feature:Idol USTREAM

We are adding the links to the side bar of the various groups USTREAMS and Nico Nico accounts. The agencies for the groups are not very good yet for giving much of an advance warning short of a day or two for broadcasts .However some groups do archive some events.

Currently confirmed streams on site are

As we confirm feeds, we will be updating the site and broadcast times


The next scheduled event is for Momoiro Clover for July 27 open18:30 start19:00(Japan time) . On this broadcast they will debut their new single "Koko ☆Natsu"

C-ZONE SUMMER☆PARTY

Earlier, I introduced everyone to Chiba based C-Zone .C-zone’s newest single video Summer*Party has been released.

Summer*Party is your basic summertime single and video, nothing flashy about it, just a solid song set to a typical summertime Idol video.

C-Zone also recently performed at the same Expo as Morning Musume.

YuiKaori VIVID PARTY!

YuiKaori are back with their second single VIVID PARTY!
I am not sure what their budget is, my guess is that it`s likely 10% of the budget that AKB48 has, however they sure know how to use it to their advantage. YuiKaori have an image sponsorship on a racecar and a host of other things here and there. As far as this video, it`s a simple video, but one that is very enjoyable, more so for the voices of Ogura Yui and Ishihara Kaori. Both have these anime singer tones to their voices, which make them not only cute listen to, but also a natural fit for not only traditional idols, but a number of voice acting opportunities as well.

VIVID PARTY! Is a cute and easy to listen to single, which will likely go under valued in the idol fan community. Which is a shame, as Ogura and Ishihara are a cute, fresh and growing part of this neo-idol generation shift.

Tokyo Idol Festival

Momoiro Clover will be joining several other groups from Maid Café Idols to traditional Idol units in the Tokyo Idol Festival on August 7-8 at Yoshimoto Prince Theater @ All Shinagawa Prince Hotel.








Idols that we are currently covering scheduled to appear are
Clover, Idoling!!! , Tokyo Girls` Style

Maid Café Idol unit Afilia Saga East are also scheduled to appear

By the way, I decided to include Afilia Saga East in the video portion of this update because any Idol group with members named Kurumi Lala Milk, Kohime Lit Pucci, Yukafin Doll and Rose Gardenfairy, to name a few needs to be mentioned, lol.

F.Y.I. They are members of a magic school themed Maid Café franchise, which is why the cast [as they are called] in every café has these anime type names.

In addition, they have singles that they release and live events, just like any other Idol unit. There are a number of these Idol units and they are generally centered in  Akihabara and are supported by Wota and Anime Otaku in Akihabara and other cities with café franchises.

Current Line Up
 TIF 2010

July 10 Update
Super Girls has been added along with three other units making a total of 12 groups
Updated Lineup

July 18 Update
The festival lineup now features 28 Idol groups .If you are expecting to see the likes of Hello! Project or the various units named 48, you can wash that idea away. Akiba and other Independent Idols dominate this festival.

The largest Idols to date at the festival are Idoling!!! , Super*Girls, Tokyo Girls` Style, Momoiro Clover.

If your open to experience a different type of Idol group ,that may never get the media attention that say an AKB48 or Morning Musume get ,then these idols are worth checking out. As I have said before, there as far more Idols in Japan, then the ones that work for H!P or have 48 attached to their names. Each are as hard working and have dedicated fan bases as the major powers, the only difference is the size of the companies they work for.

If you are still wondering if this is really a “hidden” camera show ? It`s not .

[KPop] Girl`s Day: How do I look PV

Only two weeks after their official debut Girl`s Day have released another video for a previously unreleased song called “How Do I Look” .Last week Girl`s Day skipped out on doing any lives and instead filmed a new video at a water park.

It`s a song and video that will go a long way if they start doing lives for it, to erase their poor debut start.

“How Do I Look” is an action video, showing the members enjoying, what turned out to be a rainy day at the pool. The vocals set to an audio track, so we do not get any look at the dance performance related to the song.

“How Do I Look” is a song that could have easily and likely should have been their debut song.

There was a problem with my file, so no HQ download at this time .Here is the program from an alternative feed.



This is a high traffic site, so you may want to let it get ahead a little bit by pausing the feed when it starts to help with playback.

Maybe wait 5-10 minutes on pause if you are having playback issues. I will try to get another HQ copy for download if possible.
