Did anyone else (besides Anna, who I spotted!) have the pleasure of watching that absurdly adorable and fun twitcast last night?
Mizuho and Juri live from Tanaka-san's iPhone

[TheAnna18]

Their album is AMAZING.

The site had some problems so I couldn't download it until I woke up this afternoon, but all I can say is WOW.

The first time I listened to some album versions of the singles, I was taken aback. I was expecting it to be the same as the single, but they were all redone for the album. The vocals were done differently, and there is a lot more insanity than the originals. After listening to the singles a few times, I have to say I love the album versions WAY more. Icecream's vocals are basically the same, except there are added instruments and parts with creepy laughing/whispering.

 

This will probably become my favorite album of all time....it's fabulous.

You can download from this link (same as what anhh posted earlier)

As Nessy mentioned, yeh I was watching it lol.

Mizuho told me she loves me, that was the greatest moment of my life!!

 

You can watch the whole twitcast from here:

(and if you're interested, the part where mizuho/juri/koji talk about my comment is from 14:35~15:05 ish)

 

I was really nervous/embarrassed to comment because I have no faith in my Japanese, but I guess it payed off!

Missed that Nico Nico thing.

An interview:

http://www.cinra.net...a/hitoe03-1.php

[anhh]

"The girls of Bellring Shojo Heart go their own way. Fans sneak in props, including festival masks, beach balls, bubble-blowing machine guns, that Bellring confiscates to work into their improv show. If anything, the audience is there to entertain the artist, not the other way around. But the unit’s mystique owes itself to the hard line drawn between the gimmicks they think of themselves, and the gimmicks the fans orchestrate.

This doesn’t mean that Bellring avoids audience interaction. Their greatest fear is leaving the cozy nest of small clubs they frequent for large, impersonal concert halls, which are normally the dream destinations for any other idol group. The podium stages at stadiums would take them out of the fans’ reach, both physically and emotionally. High-five drive-bys are hardly practical when you’re standing five feet above the crowd. Then again, Bellring is hardly practical either.

Armed with crow wings and cap guns, the coquettish menace circles the stage until the sound engineer sets off a bomb that blasts them into an early grave. With Bellring, “kill your idols” means murdering genre conventions. Their music is somewhat reminiscent of Group Sounds – a kind of late-1960s garage rock inspired by the early Beatles – wrapped in a layer of psychedelic organ samples that send shivers down your spine".

Thanks for sharing

 

Where's Tira?

[TheAnna18]

^ Tira had problems with her visa (since she is from Taiwan). I don't remember the details, but before they get things figured out, even if she's in Japan she's not allowed to perform with Bellheart (with that being work, and all) but she hasn't left the group. I'm assuming it will be cleared up soon enough.

Thank you for the link Anhh, I'll definitely pre-order a copy!

 

Bellring Shoujo Heart performed several times at TIF on July 27 and 28.  Has anyone found footage of their appearances?

[Nessy]

^I don't know if there's footage about yet, but I was there for both of them--for the first set the performed Icecream, Circus & Renai Soudan, and Edge of Goodbye. The second was yOUrari, World World World, Bokura no Wednesday, and Darling.
When they came out the first time, Mizuho was wearing this weird paper headdress looking thing. I dismissed it as "it's just Mizuho!" or whatever. But then when she turned her back to the audience during Icecream......it was actually a life size paper cutout of TIRA's face, worn like a mask the wrong way around. T_T I honestly cried right then and there, I miss TIRA so much...
They did their self intros at double speed for the first set so they'd have enough time for their songs, but still took the extra minute to mimic TIRA's catchphrase (Juri did her voice), it was very moving somehow.
The TIRA mask and catchphrase mimic showed up again during the second set.
They also did a small talk thing at the Info Center stage. Pretty basic stuff, mostly just general info about the group and how they have an album coming out etc. Moechi did talk a bit about how she made a pancake on stage (in the middle of a song, no less) the other week and fed it to the fans afterwards, which totally shocked the MC, hahaha. Also how they have new merch out which includes Bellheart panties "but they're not really panties, they're boxers...", etc.
