Tsunku And The Indies #15

Tsunku And The Indies #15

Sorry that I could not get this up yesterday as I had other commitments. This week we get to see more of the recording. I am still on the fence as to if I like the song or not just yet , but as long as Tsunku keeps helping out Indie Idols and growing this genre ,I am in his corner on this show.
This episode it`s hard to pick who has the best voice ,they are all so special in their own way and you may want to watch it more then once just to take in all the voices recording today.

My time is short right now, so I will not go into a deep detail of episode 2. As so many was interested in episode one and Youtube removes the show faster then it can go up, I am just posting the alternate site link to episode two. [You can find the alternate link site  for episode one  ,by clicking the related post link]

On a side note if you look to the right side of the broadcast page, there is a number of AKB48 related programs that you may have had a hard time finding.

Vision Factory's newest idol unit has broken a record set by their big sisters SPEED set in 1996. Fairies has become the youngest female group in Japanese music history to get their own radio show coming in as an average of 13.1 years .SPEED  by the way set the record at 13.2 .

Fairies new show “Fairies no Fly to the World" made it`s Nippon Broadcast debut on the 7th and the group aims to make an international fan following by learning lyrics from Western songs.

Broadcast representative Hinohara Maki gave a brief background on the show's set up.
“The girls have a solid foundation as they have taken strict voice and dance lessons. As an essential element for them to spread their wings into the world, we will have them learn English and conversation. I want to create Japan’s original stars through the radio. I hope that this will give hope to people of the same generation.”

Fairies member Nomoto Sora said that the group's goals were to play the Nippon Budokan, Tokyo Dome and to become artists accepted by the international community.

BiS To Give Fans A Kiss

BiS To Give Fans A Kiss

Let me ask the guys who read PIH a question. If your idol offered to give you a kiss if you buy a ticket to her concert, would you buy the ticket?


The we will make our own rules idols are back on PIH and doing things their way. On December 20th BiS will be releasing an yet untitled new single ,plus they will be holding their first oneman live concert [one group concert] .The concert will be titled  `IDOL is DEAD`  and promises to take the rebel group to a new level of doing things their way.

As part of the promotion there is two special gifts connected ,any fan who buy tickets for the live will be able to buy the CD in advance .But it gets much better then just an advance copy of the CD and that is an kiss from an idol.

On October 29 and 30th at the groups, record company offices [Tsubasa Records] BiS will be holding a kiss fan event. If you bring your ticket to the event, the member of your choice will kiss the ticket and leave her lipstick print on your ticket.

Plans are underway to give lipstick kisses to fans that cannot attend the live.

Nogizaka46: Nogizakatte, Doko?

Nogizaka46 Nogizakatte, Doko?

Here is Aki-P`s self created rival unit’s new TV show Nogizakatte, Doko?
This show like AKB`s new TV show is not going to stay online very long.

Therefore, the best I can do for you is a mirrored flipped Youtube version and an unflipped alternate site version.

Mirrored Version




Non-mirrored alternate site version
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzA5Mjc0NjIw.html

At the start of the episode, they announce the new Senbatsu members, As I have posted in the past, the Senbatsu positions and members can change each live event, based on fan votes or members hard work in training.

This is the standard get to know the members first episode.

AKB48 Bimyo [New Comedy Show]

AKB48 Bimyo

Here is AKB48`S new comedy variety show



In this version the opening 15 minute little studio segment is not cut out, so if you want to go to the actual show go to the 15-minute mark of this hour-long video.

If your a veteran fan of Morning Musume and remember the TV show that generations 1st to 6th had and the situational comedy Hello Morning Theater ,this show is an upgraded version of that part of the show.

Oshima by the way makes the best-drunk .She is an under rated comedy actress.

In short, this show makes fun of things related to the member's images on AKBINGO and things related to the members in general.

For those who struggle to follow Japanese or Japanese Comedy here is the first skit in subs .I did not sub this so ,if you want to say thanks to subber on their Youtube Account.



UPDATE
The first video posted was the full show, but it seems to have been deleted.
However no worries as I have a solution to the YouTube deleting the show.
Here is an alternate site full version of the show, there is a 30-second ad before the show, but after that, you have the full show. Including the studio segment and the main skits. I can actually do without the 15-minute studio part and have a full show of skits.

Tsunku And The Indie Idols #14

Tsunku And The Indie Idols #14

If you have been following this show since I have started posting it, then you may notice that this show seemed to be building up to a point, was it an audition? Did Tsunku-san have something in mind? The answers to both questions are yes.

This week you will see why Tsunku-san has been gathering Indie Idol groups from across Tokyo for weeks now.

You may notice that these episodes get a lot of dislike votes on youtube ,these come from anti the Possible fan who feel that Tsunku-san spends more time with them and other Indies when he should instead spend every second of his life on H!P .

This small band of antis spend all of their time voting down anything that the Possible or their sister groups are on.

Mano Erina Becomes Kamen Rider

Mano Erina Becomes Kamen Rider

Pop idol/actress Mano Erina has been cast to play a Kamen Rider in the new film “Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOOs MOVIE Taisen MEGAMAX”.

Mano will play “Kamen Rider Nadeshiko“, Nadeshiko Misaki  .Nadeshiko was selected to  honor the Women’s world cup championship soccer team. 

In the film Mano`s character will play the love interest of Kamen Rider Fourze and she will play the first female junior high school student rider in history.

Mano at a recent press conference for the movie had the following words for the media.

“I was really surprised! But I was many times more happy in comparison! Also, my family was very happy about it!” “I took in a lot of energy and strength from watching everyone on the Nadeshiko team! I want to become a strong and dignified women just like them!”

With any luck, maybe Mano can milk this into a new series rider. We need a good female evil kicking rider.

The movie will come out on December 10
