LOL .. I was watching that Instagram .. but didn't notice it ..
I totally do not understand Japanese .. so I just keep hammering the heart ..lol

Maaya has been really active on Instagram posting in English ..
Its almost like she never left .. especially for us foreign who don't get to see them and can only look at social media
I guess it would nice to be able to talk to her when she return ..

[Ares13]

^I'm actually pretty surprised by how slow things are going for Ranachin and Maho (considering they're usually the ones who do live streams a lot). 

 

And speaking of Kakochin, I was watching her live stream yesterday and it was a tower party

She had a total of 15 towers!

The Kakochin fanbase is a strong one lol 

And in case you guys want to see, I recorded it (she starts crying somewhere in the middle cause the fans kept sending her towers lol, she's so cute )

Also have Ranachin's and Sararan's + Maho's radio twitcast. Yesterday was a crazy day of live streams 

 

I wonder if Jurin will take part...she's also one of the members who hardly does live streams...

[Ares13]

^ lol .. I am surprise .. she a few but rich fans
the top 5 made the difference with 1st with 60K pts then 3 30K pts and 1 20Kpts .. that's like more 170K pts ..lol
each Tower cost 10K yen which is around US$90 so for 15 towers that's a cool 150K yen or US$1,350 .. lol

I try my best to throw as much of star as possible to everyone ..
But I sort of went a bit crazy for Sara but her progress is still pretty slow ..

[Ares13]

Just realize that the time restriction rules goes up to below 18 years old ..
So basically .. everyone except for Hirari can come one any time ..lol
I thought all is done yesterday night but Maho came on after midnight ..lol
Then tonight Sara came on .. lol .. I went a bit too crazy and got some gold and threw some gifts ..

^Thanks for keeping us updated Ares   

I was gone on a road trip without my laptop and for some reason, I couldn't comment on here with my phone :/ 

 

Anyways, have you guys checked out Ranachin newest Youtube video yet??? It's so cute. It reminds me so much of an episode of GEMnau (which seems to be pretty dead >.> )

Even if you can't read/understand much Japanese, it's pretty funny. 

 

Yesterday the girls had a live event for Hirari's 16th birthday and her 1 year anniversary with GEM

Spoiler

 

Edit:

btw, this amazing video was posted that has an HD version of GEM's SE

It also has better camera angles. It's tragic Ranachin got partly covered by a giant funassyi balloon. 

There's also an interview for Chisami and Kakochin for their Tokai Walker magazine. 

[Ares13]

^ .. nice T-shirt Hirari got there .. who made it for her? the fans? or the members?

 

edit: lol finally watch the lana video on hirari .. it absolutely hilarious .. love it

and the dokiri is well done .. remind me of stuff 48G used to do

========

I will continue tracking their campaign progress .. there is only 4 days left ..

[onesnowyday]

^Most likely it's from the fans. Usually the fans get the girls some sort of shirt/sweater on their birthdays. It's so cool

 

As an update, another GEMber has officially reached level 2 for the avatar contest. 

And it's none other than Kakochin!
According to my friend, she had a whopping total of 22 tokyo towers     

Kakochin has a lot of rich wota supporters

Any guesses as to who will be the next GEMber to reach the goal?? 

Seems like it'll either be Chanman Natchi or Sara. 

 

Lately, I keep forgetting to go collect stars by watching random AKB member's live streams and I end up only throwing a couple a stars Going to get some more stars now

[Ares13]

Ya .. she just flew pass the 1st level and nearly caught Yukirin in just 1 stream ..

I saw it yesterday and was amazed at the amount of Tokyo towers ..lol

But I couldn't do much yesterday as Chanman was on and I was just throwing everything at her ..

I feel bad for Lana and Maho as they do come on very frequently but the points are moving too slowly ..

Sara just got her points by just coming on very often .. I think she come on the most frequent .. she really work hard for this ..

 

I nearly forgot to update yesterdays standings ..

I've been wondering recently, is there a place anywhere that lists specifically which members sing in each song's recordings? Including b-sides, music cards, album songs, indies songs, etc. If anyone can lead me to that specific info, or happens to know, I'd appreciate the info! Just out of my own curiosity is all.

[Ares13]

Alright, there are just 2 days left for the showroom campaign ..

Today, Nana came on for really long and as she was nearly her mark to get pass her level .. the fans give bombarded her with gifts including a couple of the Tokyo Towers while she was playing with her cat and she made it pass level 1 .. I think she was surprise herself ..

[onesnowyday]

^Judging from your update, I don't think Jurin and Chisami are going to make it...or maybe they're just not into getting an avatar  Jurin aside, I thought Chisami would do it considering she used to do her own SHOWROOM live streams and LINE LIVEs sometimes. So it's kinda weird that she's not taking part in this :/ 

I'm really worried for Ranachin though. You'd think she'd be one of the first ones to reach the goal tbh...I wonder why it's been so slow for her...

All the others look like they'll make it somehow or another. 

Idk why, but I feel so happy seeing how much progress Sararan is making She's been doing back to back live streams and even doing two in a day She's really trying her best for this. 

 

I've been wondering recently, is there a place anywhere that lists specifically which members sing in each song's recordings? Including b-sides, music cards, album songs, indies songs, etc. If anyone can lead me to that specific info, or happens to know, I'd appreciate the info! Just out of my own curiosity is all.

 

I think there used to be a couple of lyric videos on youtube that people color coded, but I couldn't find it. 

The only one left is the one kurebesu posted on here for sugar baby a little while back

There also used to be a site I went to for color coded lyrics, but I forgot what it was called. But chances are, they probably didn't do it for GEM anyways, since they're not that well known :/ 

[Xīn Chūn (仮)]

Ah I didn't mean the line distribution necessarily, just a list of which members are in which songs. Since I'm not sure if there's some album songs or b-sides with not the whole lineup, and I'm not sure how things were before the major debut since I found out about them after We're GEM had been performed already.

[onesnowyday]

^Ahh..my bad. I don't know any sites that list that out  Though I think the only songs that don't really have all the members singing in are their three music card singles, (Delightful Days, You You You, No Girls No Fun), fRiEnDs, one, and Dancin' Dancin' Dance. The first few that come to mind anyways. 

For indies, all of them sang as well (their indies era was just Street-sei songs, Speed Up/Do it Do it, and Just Call Me).

^ ..lol ..

Sorry for being lazy .. but I think you are much better than me in Japanese ..

There may be some of info you want here ..

lol .. I wiki it .. Japanese wiki

https://ja.wikipedia...ainment_Mixture

I have also check my albums and singles covers but there ain't any of the info you want ..

[Ares13]

OMG .. I thought Lana is going to kill herself staying up late for Showroom ..
She still got quite a long way to go to the next level
I think she had a long day and just came back from Kagoshima
I feel bad for her and I am throwing everything at her and I even throw in some gifts ..
In the end .. she stop just around 3:20am Japan time and she still went on to thank everyone on twitter ..

Anyway .. pics from her trip to Kagoshima with SAKURA (Not sure, is it her friend?)
lol.. I guess this is as much as we will ever going to see



Today in a late rush .. Sara, Chanman and Maho made it past the 1st level ..
It was basically a rush as the fans threw a lot for them to cross the mark ..
Chanman was funny as the fans throw so much at her over the period of time that she got top in popularity for all lives at that time beating out the 48G girls even ..


Anyway .. 1 Day to go..
Showroom Day 10

[onesnowyday]

^That's probably one of the most revealing thing I've seen her wear. It rivals that swimsuit she wore one time when she had an outing with Yoshida Rinne, Maho, and Ruka (Wa-suta). 

You don't get to see Ranachin wear revealing things everyday after all..

SAKURA I believe is a friend of hers who is currently living with her right now too. 

I'm not sure how close they are, but they must be super close to live in the same house together. 

 

I'm rooting for Ranachin to achieve that avatar event. I've been throwing all my stars at her. I really want her to make it >_< 

 

Now over half of the GEMbers have achieved the goal I have no doubts that Hiichan will make it. Chisami just made an announcement about having a live stream tonight...idk if she's going to try and achieve it..but it may be a long shot. Unless fans throw her a tower party like they did to Kakochin lol. 

[Ares13]

OMG .. Chisami just flew pass her level in super speed ..

She was like 352,443 point to go .. and she clear her level in like half an hour ..

She should make her way to the daily ranking of the whole showroom with this ..

She was like done with just 45 minutes of showroom

 

Jurin just message everyone that she want the avatar .. so get ready for a rush ..

And Hirari only 66,797 to go and tomorrow is her birthday .. I think she will clear it in less than a minutes ..lol

So now it only left Lana that worries me .. hope the fans don't prank her too hard and be nice to her ..

 

Edit:

OMG .. Jurin was even faster .. less than half an hour and she clear 431,301 to level

[onesnowyday]

^OMG. Did they wait until the last second on purpose?? lolol

Today the GEMILY are spending 100s like nothing lol. 

 

Ranachin just reached Level 2 as well finally!!! Fans threw her a tower party as well

She was so excited while waiting for it to reach the goal

 

Edit:

OMG GUYS. I JUST SAW THIS, BUT WE FINALLY HAVE OUR FIRST GEMber THAT DID A GRAVURE PHOTOSHOOT. 

https://twitter.com/...396373723561984

And it's none other than Natchi!! I thought the GEMbers would never do gravure...guess I was wrong.
