Idols on MJ

Idols on MJ

Perfume brings together the most powerful idol agencies and groups together on one show and the chaos level is high as the groups get out of control. Whatever your idol unit is, this is a must watch show for all idol fans.
For Musume fans, from the looks of things the future faces of the group are going to be Ayumi, Riho, and KY

Tsuntube #19

Tsuntube #19
Another week and fresh performance auditions to be regulars on the show, plus to perform at Tsunku`s live events related to the show. More or less Tsunku-san is opening the door for Indies to get more exposure from this show and the live events he produces for it. It has become the talk and goal of indies to get on this show and the live festival. With managers and agencies across Japan in daily contact for a spot on the show.
While these videos maybe getting a lot of dislikes, for groups the show is becoming a big part of their advertisement plans.

AKB48 Internet Service + AKB & Wota Babies

AKB48 is branching out once again after creating a successful music franchise, store franchise, video game franchise; apartments, café ,has now entered the internet provider service.
On November 1 a new internet service entered the nation called “AKB Official Net”

For a monthly fee of 1,480 yen, you will get with service an official AKB48 email address, exclusive rights to AKB48 theater tickets, free registration to the AKB48 fan club and a members exclusive special photo program called “AKBaby”.

This program will allow you to take your picture and a member of AKB48 merge them and create you and your oshiman`s baby photo.
Spokesman for the service Oshima Yuko was on hand for the press conference held a baby with a mask of a merged photo of her and Prime Minister Noda on his face. Oshima jokingly said “I’ve skipped over the marriage press conference, and went straight to the birth announcement. The order is reversed, but I had a healthy baby!”

Oshima went on to show the official CM for the program, showing her scene where she asks the viewer, “Will you make a baby with me?”
Oshima went on to add “I’ve never thought I’d say that in my life, so I can’t believe I actually said that.”

Prime Minister Noda sent a letter saying the following “I’m glad the baby looks like Oshima-san. In reality, I can’t make a baby, but I will do my best to reverse the declining birth rates in Japan. “
Oshima ended her remarks by saying “Surely, this could be a great contribution to society. It’s an amazing thing.”

Fresh Faces: Shimon Chu, Idol Gang Magic, Nagaigoto, Apple Gakuen,

It`s time for another round of video profiles of fresh face independent idol units. If you have followed this site for any period of time ,then you know we place a lot of importance on the largest branch of the female idol genre division and that is the independents .There is 100`s of these units across Japan making a name for themselves.
In this video profile I have selected units that have become active this summer and are so new to the idol wars that if they were new cars, they still have that new car smell to them. These units still have much work ahead of them to become national idols, but are making their mark in their regional backyards.

Momoiro Clover Z: Roudou Sanka

Momoiro Clover Z: Roudou Sanka

Momoiro Clover Z has released a video for their upcoming November 23 release single “Roudou Sanka”. This PV has a little bit of everything and is shot as a tribute to the working man. Of all the videos this group has made, this is in my opinion alone  is the best PV this group has made. There is a lot in this video and if you are not careful, you will miss something.
