Party Rockets :MIRAIE ,[One Step from Greatness]

Recently Party Rockets lost their co-lead singer Konno Yuuka [health issues] ,which changed their sound greatly going from a high pitched moe idol group to well this below.

With MIRAIE the group’s second single ,the group transforms into a punch in the face rock idol group ,that I hope stays with this four .

With their first release ,I liked it because it was moe-rock , with MIRIE ,I love it because it`s like a fist in the face that you expect from BABYMETAL and has a idol-rock anthem feel.

Honestly this genre needs more heavy rock and metal idol groups . So Party Rockets if you keep hitting me with solid rock like you have from the start ,then I just have one thing to say.

I am all in now with you , after renting for a few months , I am buying the house and have promoted you to the ranks of my Super Six one step from greatness groups [Gaki`s favorites to someday rise up to supergroups level] Super Six---[Dorothy Little Happy ,Alice 10 ,Steamgirls ,Sizukaze & Kizuna ,BABYMETAL and now Party Rockets]

SUPER☆GiRLS CELEBRATION

Idol group SUPER GiRLS just released the PV to one of their songs from their album. Celebration, is SUPER GiRLS 3rd album, and it features many new songs, as well as old.

Is this really S☆G?!!! was my first thought when I saw the video. Their whole look is just so radically different than what it usually is, that I thought it was another idol group. The girls actually look like a mature group, and they remind me a lot of C-ute. Some of the members are even wearing pants and shorts! gasp. Many girls are also sporting new hairstyles. I'm really impressed with the dance, it looks pretty cool. It's not all cutesy like their dances usually are, in fact, the whole cute factor that S☆G is famous for is really turned down in this PV. The song is kind of catchy, at least the chorus is, it's not bad at all and reminds me of Hoshikuzu LOVE Song.

S☆G has really been in a huge slump in my opinion. I started out really liking the group, but when they began releasing single after single without much variety... well, they kind of lost my interest. But now, Celebration has spiked up my interest, and really makes me want to check out their album. If S☆G would release more songs like Tokimeki Shoku no kaze to kimi, MAX! Otome gokoro, and this, I think international idol fans would be more interested in them. Album releases February 20~

Shuukan Spell (with Magical) Week 3

Shuukan Spell (with Magical) Week 3

This week this Thai Dance cover group inner idols and darkside comes out. So let’s take a look at what Magical cover Afilia Saga East has to say to start the new year. Please offer your encouragement and support to them as the members visit this site often.

This week the question was a joint project between myself[Gaki] and Magical member Prae

Shuukan Spell #3
- You’re going to the world’s scariest haunted house, which member would you take with you and why?

Piko : Take Kimay and stab ghost's stomach with phychotic face.

Momin : Take Cake because she seems not to be afraid? haha

Fernne : Take Jahoii and be trolls to ghosts together (I don't afraid of ghosts)

BB : Take Fernne because I think she can protect me. *hug* ///v///

Jahoii : Take Gift. I wanna see someone screams. A_A (I will make her scream! -..-b)

Prae : Take Cake. To be a troll in front of ghosts, maybe they will confuse. haha

Lukpud : Take Little with me because she is an influential person and ghosts will scare of her. So they will get out of our way like Moses and the Red sea was separated into two halves by God. And when she's angry with them, maybe she will kill them all. (Is it possible that ghosts will die for the 2nd time? ==\)

Palm : No need to bring someone because I will runaway for sure!

Kimay : Take everyone with me. LOL

Noonnim : Take Fernne because I think Fernne is ikemen(?). She can protect me. haha

Cake : Cake will take Jahoii. Ghosts may runaway because Jahoii will go touching ghosts' breast.(?) haha

Little : I will bring Lukpud with me and order her to make a theory speech to ghosts. They will be stunned for sure.

Gift : Can I not go into that house? I'm too scared. I want to run back to my home. haha

Week 2

Week two the members started to get a better feel for the segment and I have been told by some members that those who have completed week 3 question are entertaining.

Again as this is all new to these Thai Idols ,it will take a little time for them to get their comedy wings under them.
