METROPOLIS is a new Idol project created by the production staff of UNDER FACE, the sub-unit of Smile Gakuen (スマイル学園). METROPOLIS is not related to Smile Gakuen now and it's formed by different girls.

However, the concept of METROPOLIS is almost the same of UNDER FACE.

 

Official facebook page.

Official twitter account. Updated by the girls.

Official twitter info account. Updated by staff.

Their official website is on development, I'll update when it's ready.

 

It has not been announced the date of their debut.

 

Logo.

Right now there are 4 confirmed members:

 

Yamaoka Ririko (山岡リリコ)

Twitter: @ririchanman1007

Blog: http://ameblo.jp/momo-riri-chan/

Agency: She doesn't seem to be affiliated to any agency.

She's a 10 years old Idol fan and aspiring to Idol.

Asahina Ren (朝比奈恋)

Born: January 25, 2000 in Aichi. (14 years old)

Blog: http://ameblo.jp/r1e2n5

Agency: AUI (official profile page)

She's a gravure junior Idol who is now debuting as singer with Metropolis. The group manager says she has a tomboyish personality, but I haven't seen that.

Hayasaka Misaki (早坂美咲)

Born: October 29, 2001 in Tokyo. (12 years old) 

Agency: AUI (official profile page)

She's a gravure junior idol too, I think she's the most well known of the four current member, but I'm not sure. I think she's the only one with a thread in 2ch about her (if that means anything).

Iida Amiri (飯田愛美鈴)

Born: July 5, 2000 in Saitama (14 years old).

Agency: AUI (official profile page)

I don't know much about her, except that she has released DVD's like the previous two members so she's a gravure junior Idol. Metropolis Contact says she's shy.

Samples of their future songs.

 

 

It has been announced that METROPOLIS will have sub-units, but it's not clear yet which girls will form each unit.

I didn't realize that most of them were gravure idols.   :c18:  I think Ririko is really cute!  <3  Hopefully a finished song will appear on YouTube soon.

I think this is the first image they post with four members

tumblr_nb2zxga9td1rhzbyuo1_500.jpg

But until now I haven't seen any picture of them together.

And a recent picture of Amiri, since I think her profile picture is a bit old.

tumblr_nb2zxga9td1rhzbyuo2_r1_500.jpg

 

The four of them are participating in something called TEEN IDOL TEA PARTY, and they promote it in twitter @T_T_PARTY. Idols from other groups participate there too.

Teen Idol Tea Party is following me on Twitter too.  I noticed that they have a YouTube channel but there is just one video, something for Riri-chan!  :)

^ Yes, they sent me the lyrics some days ago to update the website.

Right now it's work in progress, but it's exactly the same as UNDER FACE's one: http://metropolis.xacur.com/lyrics/

And it seems Ririko already performed as Metropolis, I hope they upload videos of their events.

Metropolis finished shooting their very first PV for their song "Please, Dr. Tesla!"
 
A few people have posted some nice behind the scene photos on Twitter (probably missed a few, but I'm too lazy to re-check) and videos on Vine.

Spoiler

 
Looking forward to seeing it.

Ririko, Kanna, and Misaki did a show on Oct. 26th @ Shibuya J-Pop Cafe
 
Metropolis' YouTube channel uploaded some concert footage from the show (first video footage of the group performing) 

[Image Gallery]
 
 
Quote from Metropolis' staff on Facebook:

Kanna tends to forget everything when she in the stage...
 
She loses memory on a stage because of strain.
 
So kanna has very unhonorable Nickname.
 
BAKANNA!

 
Poor Kanna-chan.  :o



Edit: They posted a teaser for their first MV.

METROPOLIS now have their first sub unit: CAFU PAFU, feat. Ririko and Misaki.

They say it was Riri-chan's idea. Well, easy to believe she is not cute only :sotsugyou:

Okay, talking about potential new members: Meanwhile there are: Jumi (not Yumi!) Kanahara, Kotori Asagi, Moe Orisaki, Reika Kobayakawa, Tsukasa Ichijo and Tsukina Kodaj. And current members also are six.

Maybe in a year we have a number of members like AKB or so LOL

And maybe interesting: there is a "crowdfunding-project". You can spend money for the first official single - and you will get a lot of gifts, your name will be on the CD, you will get pics, if you are in japan, you will get fotoshootings and much more: http://dolcie.jp/project/detail/9
