"Off The Radar" Part 8: ORI ★ HIMETAI

ORI ★ HIMETAI are are an idol group based in Sendai who seem to perform at local malls and other places in order to raise money for victims of the 2011 earthquake and to help reconstruct the city. They also volunteer to help the elderly as well as other things. The sale of their goods (T-shirts, mugs and towels, for the most part) are donated to local organizations. This is a novel concept! I really like the idea of young girls who have their hearts in the right place helping out residents of their city and contributing to rebuild their beloved country, one little bit at a time!

Unfortunately, I do not have much information on these girls. The above info was from using Google Translate, and anything may be incorrect. Also, the number of girls in this group have changed over the months. I have seen photos with six, seven and eight members, yet the members list on their website and one of the videos below have nine girls! I wish I was smart enough to give my readers more concrete info, since their songs are good and these girls are so precious!
