#2 Doll☆Elements

As mentioned before, Doll☆Elements is a group directly related to Lovely★DOLL (Or 愛乙女★DOLL), as they are a unit made up of third generation research students to the main group. They made their debut performing songs such as "GO!!MY WISH!" and "LOVE&PEACE", which are originally Lovely★DOLL's songs.

The members are, in order of the picture from left to right:
Tamechika Anna (為近あんな) aka Tamechan - Born October 29, 1992
Gonda Natsumi (権田夏海) aka Gonchan - Born June 13, 1991
Tonosaki Rika (外崎梨香) aka Rikapyon - Born April 22, 1992
Ayamori Aoi (綾森あおい) aka Aoidon, Donchan - Born August 13, 1993
Kojima Runa (小島瑠那) aka Runaruna, Runapon - Born October 31, 1994

This video was shown before, but there's only a few videos of this unit, unfortunately.

#1 Oota Yuuki (太田ゆうき)

Oota Yuuki got mentioned is PIH Fresh 30 Idols post, but now I'm going to expand and tell you a little more about Oota Yuuki.

Oota Yuuki is a singer who lives in Tokyo. Her birthday is June 6, 1986. Her blood type is A. She's 156cm tall. Her hometown is Aichi prefecture. Her hobbies are carving, painting, and other arts.
She is signed to dream seed craft. (Is that a record label or company...?) She's been active since 2007. I think she is also a gravure model (???).

She seems to be a really energetic person, and she has a lot of fans (from what I can see from her performances). She also seems to have really solid singles. I like her voice. She performs live well live. My favorite song by Yuuki is DREAM MAKER.

Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku debut!

Momoiro Clover z's sister group Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku (Ebichu for short) will be making their official debut this May on the 5th. Their single is called "Karikeiyaku no Cinderella" and will come in 3 types.

I'm so excited for Ebichu's debut! I wondered, after already having 6 indies singles, when they were going to debut officially.

This is just a short post announcing Ebichu's debut. Pure Idol Heart has never covered Ebichu before so I will have to make an official post about them later.

Dorothy Little Happy Mini Live

The darlings of Pure Idol Heart [if you remember the earthquake story, you`ll get that remark] drop in on Pure Idol Heart to offer up a special mini live filmed on the 19th.

BABY METAL Vs. The World + Li Ne

BABY METAL is coming, the world better prepare, lol


http://youtu.be/wqhIydd1bhc

Li ne PV
[Enjoy while it`s still up]

BABY METAL is back with another release “Li Ne”
The video features the group in various group styles, from idol pop, to rap group, to their trade mark princesses of metal. As much as I love the PV, I really wished they had stayed with their heavy metal style of their first release.

With my objection cast to the side, this is a great song and PV, if you’re not a metal head and like to go clubbing or practice dance, this song is for you.



http://youtu.be/5EdROY2yIf4

BABY METAL has another song coming out March 7 ,which is what the first video is about

EDIT
Here is the short version ,it`s not as cool as the long version that was on this post before but still good for now .

30 Fresh Faces

30 Fresh Faces is something that I have wanted to do for some time and that is present you the readers of this site with 30 idol groups or soloists that have never appeared on Pure Idol Heart.

Plans are underway for formal artist introduction posts after these previews. Each one of these artists have different levels of experience and in no way should they be compared to 48`s or H!P level idols ,if they were ,they would be in those groups . Instead these artists should be compared with the other artists in this series .

Regardless if an idol is performing in front of 50 or 5,000 ,they are deserving of our respect and support. If you’re a true fan of Idol genre , then a level of an artist ,should not matter to you if they bring you happiness in their performance.

So let’s get started
#1 first up is the charming Oota Yuuki

PV for 6th single


#2 Doll ☆Elements
