That name has unfortunate evokations of a certain piercing.

 

I like the music, circus music usually makes me happy when mixed with pop or rock or any genre really, so that's good.

 

Not enough blood though. Always needs more blood. And pigs heads on sticks.

This group is fascinating. I think they pretend to release their first album on June. They are going to be on the cover for the next issue of Trash-Up!! (already featured on the last one (among many, many idols)).

Wow, thanks for making this thread.  That "Circus & Renai Soudan" song is a dischordant mess and I really love it!  The other Bellring songs on their channel are more conventional, but if this band continued in the weird avant-garde vein of "Circus" I'd quickly become a big fan.  They have a lot of potential!

@MrWoofington: Their newest songs are not online anywhere yet, but they are definitely more in the "Circus"-vein. One has a surf beat and another screaming section (World World World). One is delicate, haunting, spooky (Pleasure Himitsu no Kotoba) with slightly carnivalesque undertones; another features extensive rapping and a line dance (Rice and Tuning). Perhaps my favorite of the new ones (maybe!) is called Icecream--it has a killer bass line, a heavy metal breakdown, and the most beautiful, intense dance (in which they mostly stand still, in various complicated formations, minus a gymnastics section. It's like performance art.)
The other new song that comes to mind is (almost) their most typical, a (not quite) standard idol towel song (Shout!). Still great. Again, absolutely unbelievable bass line.
Their first album is coming out in June and Icecream is being released as a single soon, with Pleasure Himitsu no Kotoba. Music video in the works. I'm super excited.

@Mattthecat: I'm happy to hear you're into it!!

I really love these girls so I'm trying to spread the word :)

^I am quite tall for Japan but slim, and usually wear a size S or XS in America; so far, all of Bellheart's shirts fit me well in size S (the pink runs slightly bigger, I think, though maybe it's my imagination...)
So it might be a tad large, but you should be just fine fitting into an M. :)

Last night Bellheart held a "one man talk live" and discussed (for a good two hours!) the group's career thus far, the members, the future, etc.
Mizuho drank orange juice, Yuuka pineapple juice, TIRA had melon soda, Juri had pineapple juice, Moechi had orange juice (fans tried to tease her into getting a beer but she deferred obviously)
Fans kept sending up food and drinks, largely as jokes--at one point everyone had her own bowel of rice and several bowls of ice cream were being passed around simultaneously. TIRA and Moechi bullied Juri into trying the ice cream and rice together in one spoonful. Juri had to spit it into a napkin.

I will do my best to summarize what was said.

Please note that these are not directly translated quotes.

It's a combination of my memory and various fans' notes. Furthermore, my Japanese is quite poor--I'm somewhat confident about the general meaning of everything (unless otherwise noted) but I really can't make any promises.

Most memorable live show?
Mizuho: Mizudeppou
Yuuka: Yokochou Natsu Matsuri
TIRA: Maneki no yu
Juri: Osaka Ensei
Moechi: First one man
Tanaka-san: First one man

What do you want for the coming year?
Mizuho: To perform at bigger places
Yuuka: To have 100 people regularly coming just to see us
TIRA: To hold a live in Taiwan
Juri: To have 1500 people come to the next one man live
Moechi:To think about Bellheart as a whole [(?) (I didn't quite follow...)]
Tanaka-san: To do his very best (?)

Thoughts on the one man live:
Mizuho: [Somehow she was sort of skipped over on this one]
Yuuka: Lots of people came. I couldn't believe it; no one was at our very first show (a year ago.) so where did they come from exactly? I really wanted to cry
TIRA: [I don't remember what she said and I can't find a summary from anyone else, sorry..]
Juri: I saw all of the fans' faces and was scared. Gradually their smiles made me realize they were my allies, not my enemies
Moechi: I had the feeling of having become a real member of Bellheart


Who would you like to perform with sometime?
Mizuho: BiS
Yuuka: C-ute
TIRA: Morning Musume (and/or a show with just her and Sayu)
Juri: C-ute
Moechi: [I can't remember. I'm like 80% positive she said Super Girls, though.]


Tanaka-san's impressions of the members:
Mizuho-- "yappari Mizuho kawaii da ne~" / she looks harmless but lately she's been scolding other members during practice a lot
Yuuka-- "yappari Yuuka kawaii da ne~" / sometimes wonders if she might quit Bellheart, although her effort is strong. Because she's the mood maker, he wants her to continue in the group wholeheartedly
TIRA-- "yappari TIRA kawaii da ne~" / from the beginning seemed very much in danger of quitting. Something about Maeda Atsuko's manager? Giving advice? [I got really lost here, haha]
There was another story as well where she threatened to quit and Tanaka-san kept her in the group with promises of going on Music Station, which she somehow equated with being able to meet Sayu, haha
Juri-- "yappari Juri kawaii da ne~" / says she's negative, but a really hard worker--always asks after rehearsal, 'what can I improve on?'
Moechi-- "yappari Moechi kawaii da ne~" / a true Japanese beauty [sadly I couldn't understand the rest]
Butch-- Butch's constant smile keeps us doing our best


Random comments:
Tanaka-san: I had difficulty writing Mizuho's rap, so I made Butch finish it in the two hours before recording
Tanaka-san: By the third year hopefully we can perform overseas
Tanaka-san: We're trying to expand upon and sustain an edgy feeling, which sometimes we might be in danger of losing. The songs need to keep getting better from now on
Tanaka-san: [mentioned something about Pink Floyd; he cited them the last time Bellheart did a talk live as well]
Mizuho (I think): Moechi has a great kotatsu at her house [or something like that] / Tanaka-san: Oh yeah? Who [to the members] has stayed over at Moechi's house? / Fans: [all raise hands]

Nessy, thank yo so much for carrying the flame for Bellheart (I wanna say Bellring every time, must..learn..correct..shortening..of..name..) and spreading the word about how amazing they are! I am a huge fan now and have had some amazing experiences already without having even been in Japan, all thanks to Nessy. Well, and to Bellheart, as these girls are so sweet and kind and have such a rapport with their fans, unlike any I have ever seen.

I will say as I always do, if the music sucked, however, I would have just passed them by but their music is unlike any other Idol group ever. It is haunting, beautiful, nostalgic, creepy and awesome and it rocks!

I describe them as "if David Lynch produced an Idol group" it would be Bellheart...Maybe he could direct a PV!! (note to self, work on making that happen!)

Here is the t-shirt Nessy gave to TIRA, who TOOK IT HOME to work on! and then gave it back to Nessy who sent it to me...speechless.

OMG, that's so sweet.

 

Idk, Bellheart music sounds so creepy, but it makes me wanna hear more and more. I'm officially a fan of this group.

 

Where can I buy Tricera EP? I can't find it on HMV or CDJ, and not on itunes as well
