Idol Live : LinQ

LinQ in Concert

Idol Live Special : Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku [EbiChu]

I guess everyone was thinking that Gaki just walked away into the night . 
However I have something really special to present to everyone ,EbiChu in a 60 minute concert and EBI HOUSE.

If you have never seen EbiChu they are much like Momoiro Clover Z as in a free spirited ball of fun .However there is an ace card to them and that is their voices are packed with moe style ,that is a mix of Anime moe and Idol moe . It`s actually a very heart capturing style.



Special bonus an  EBI HOUSE Episode
About 10 min in there is a cute phone call that takes place.

Idol Live ANNA☆S

Interest in ANNA☆S is on the rise on Pure Idol Heart, so I thought everyone would like to experience what they are like in concert. They do really fun lives, as we have never shown them in concert before; I think everyone may find this a fun group to watch.

PIH Live House Himekyun Fruit Can and nanoCUNE

PIH Live House returns after a long absence for some remodeling, tonight we have a full 90 minute live from Himekyun Fruit Can and their sister unit nanoCUNE.

The venue is Shibuya O-West which has a capacity of 600 standing .



If you wonder what it`s like to see an Indie Live Concert, you should spend 90 minutes watching this. No it`s not the same as seeing Morning Musume or the 48`s. It`s just its own brand of specialness, that should be compared on its own level.

PIH Live House: Sizukaze & KIZUNA, Crowd Walking Idols

This next set of 5 lives we have started with the gloves off , first with Dorothy Little Happy scoring 5 with each vote ,they still need a few more votes to enter top 5 ,so please watch their live over the next three days and vote .

Tonight we are bringing to our outdoor stage Sizukaze & KIZUNA 

While Alice Juban stage dives, Sizukaze & KIZUNA  crowd walks and does so with a live backing rock band. In these ranks Sizukaze & KIZUNA is a steamrolling beast of energy, with some of the loudest and dedicated wotas in the genre.

While Alice Juban is better singers, the show that Sizukaze & KIZUNA puts on more than earns the cost of the tickets.

To have an idol trust her fans enough to let them lift her up in the lives to sing to the crowd and to crowd walk shows the level of connection the group has with their fans.

Plus any group that opens their show paying tribute to a mobile suit is getting on this site.

Just so you know Sizukaze is two members, KIZUNA [black/white shirts and skirts] is the other girls on stage

Voting will start when Candy opens the poll.

EDIT -YOU CAN WRITE IN VOTES FOR NOW

PIH Live House Vol 2: SCK Girls

I was actually going to wait 5 days before posting a new live house, however I wanted our rankings polls to have a top ten and right now we only have 4 groups, so this will make 5 and we will start with a top 5 rankings and see if the next 5 can knock one of these first 5 out of the rankings.

I am very pleased to be able to bring you SCK Girls, because they are from Kesennuma, Miyagi and they were created after the Earthquake.
Just the fact that they are able to perform is a victory as this is what happened to their city.



So even if they don`t score well, just the fact they are here to perform makes them winners.

SCK originally was SCK45 but now the girls just use the name SCK Girls .Unlike other groups who strive for national fame SCK current goals are to support the rebirth of Kesennuma by bringing spirit ,hope, brightness and purpose to the region through the power of idol energy and recovery volunteering.

The groups rules are simple , be from the city or district region, do well in school and to always be cheerful in greeting anyone.

SCK does live house performances, volunteering for recovery clean up support, entertaining at childcare, displaced citizen shelters, and elderly homes and various TV/Radio work.

When the poll opens please use the same 1-5 vote system .If you feel moved to vote before the poll is made or simply want to comment, please do so.

By the way their mid-point MC is funny and they have a 1,000 yen CD called ReGeneration

So please enjoy SCK Girls as they show everyone that “We are still standing”.

Special edit - one other note that I left out ,the members all suffered losses in the Earthquake

PIH Live House /Open Air Debut Vol #1

Welcome to the debut of Pure Idol Heart`s video live house .We have four groups for you today Three on our outdoor stage and one on our indoor stage.

Our open air theater debut will feature three groups

A group from here in Chiba known as C-Zone .C-Zone has been active since 2004 and have performed in Asia, Europe and America. They have had local TV and radio shows ,while remaining very much underground . C-Zone changes members often and in fact the girl in the orange skirt and the one in white pants are as of this month are now in the Chiba based group Verge. While they are very active there is little concert footage of them as they tend to not allow video in their lives of any kind.
Following them is QunQun ,be sure to not pull away from this live as wotas will get involved as back dancers ,much to the surprise of QunQun.
The outdoor live will end with Alice Juban who at the end will run off stage and into the wotas and perform with them as backup dancers in a wild night live complete with ending stage dives.
Our indoor live will feature NEP She☆Stars performing a spirited and entertaining live complete with costume changes and excited and vocal wotas.

Please see this post to get the voting points that you will grade each group on in your voting

PIH Live House /Open Air Debut Schedule and Voting

The debut of Pure Idol Heart`s video live house ,will have four groups ,three will be performing on the outdoor stage called PIH Open Air ,while one will be performing on our indoor stage called Live house Pure Heart.

Our open air theater debut will feature three groups ,
 One of our local idols here in Chiba C-Zone who have been active since 2004 with a number of singles ,other works, a Chiba TV and radio show and concerts across Asia, and stops in Europe and Los Angeles proving that you can be underground and international at the same time .

Following them will be Fukuoka`s QunQun

Last will be Alice Juban.

Closing out the program will be NEP She☆Stars performing a spirited and entertaining indoor live complete with costume changes and excited and vocal wotas.


As I mentioned in the earlier post ,your votes are key to this project as the votes earn the groups coverage tickets to be on Pure Idol Heart .
Each live post will have 5 days of votes and the vote’s equal tickets.

For each concert you will vote the groups the following tickets .

Based on how impressed/entertained you was by the group and concert you will give the groups one of the following rankings:

 1 ticket ,2 tickets , 3 tickets 4 tickets , 5 tickets [best vote]

After 5 days the tickets for each group will be counted and that will determine how they will be covered on PIH .A group that scores low ,will get a few chances to improve their ticket totals, if they can`t then you have determined that they are not ready yet to be a featured group on PIH ,a good score means the group will be regulars to the site.

The ticket totals will be posted and ongoing ,meaning with each live event ,you will vote again and those tickets will be added to their totals and a ticket ranking will be posted with groups fighting over the #1 spot . Only posts with the title PIH Live House /Open Air are eligible to be voted on .

New Feature :PIH Live House ,Open Air Theater

We have made no secret that one of the goals of Pure Idol Heart is to bring new and lesser known idol groups to overseas fans and help them gain a better following.

For me a CD or a PV is nice ,but the measure of a band or idol group is their live show. A good live show will often draw me into a band even if I am on the fence with their CD.

As it is difficult for readers to come to Japan to see these Indie Idol groups , we have created the next best option a video live house.

The staff of Pure Idol Heart have created a new feature in which we will run a video live house [concert hall] and open air concert theater.

In these posts we will offer a wide range of events and you the readers will have 5 days for each post to score the groups 1 to 5 in points on how each group entertained you that evening. Groups that score high will get return bookings and have regular features and updates on Pure Idol Heart ,Groups that score low , will have less bookings and coverage.

The success or failure of every group in our live house will rest in your hands completely .This is not something were you show up and watch 30 seconds of the first group ,then vote and leave .Votes are tickets ,so we ask that you open your heart and watch completely what we have taken the time to schedule that day and then ,when we open the voting , vote based on that show and who you`d like to get to know better and help them draw a good ticket count.

Your votes will help shape the way we as a staff schedule these events ,your votes will be a key part in our decision making process .

So please look forward to this new feature to debut in the coming days as over 50 independent or small regional majors’ idol groups /soloists [not the big name main groups at the top of Oricon] have already been selected to open this new feature.
