Honestly.. I created their thread with very little knowledge on them ..I created it first since their debut is near ..
I will need help from people who have better knowledge of them so I can add more info on them ..
 
I really like Abe Nanami ..it was love at first sight ..
To me .. She had it all that I like about idols .. Cute looks, talented in singing and dancing and not aggressive characteristic ..

[I ♥ Miyoshi Ayaka]

Okay, I realize that I gave you the link to a website with some info about this group, but I have since found out some new info that I haven't shared with you yet.  Sorry for not getting this to you sooner, Ares13.  

 

There is another version of the group named Petit mImi.  The girls in this version look like they are 5 to 7 years old.  Their names are Michiru, Miyuu, Miu, Yura and Karin.  I don't know anything else about the girls other than that.  However, they also have a Twitter account.  https://twitter.com/Bflt_sendai

 

This is the website I shared with Ares13.  http://akibalive.jp/single01/

(The main track was muted...)

And lots of mini-videos over here:

[Ares13]

ok thanks ..

I actually found those video but its mostly mute therefore I didn't post it ..
They even mute the Akiba Culture Theater Akibalive promotion video .. I really don't see how are they going to promote them with no sound ..
I was quite surprise that they block so much of their content when they are so unknown ..

honestly .. I have not hear "Lucky Star" .. but I ordered it because I really want to support Abe Nanami ..
Its quite interesting that I found out that she use to be in "We Can☆" .. which I was following a few years back because of another Nanami .. Tanabe Nanami who is still my favorite H!P Egg/trainee ..
anhh link it but its not on direct view .. Abe Namami is just really good .. but she is very skinny and young but got quite good stamina in performance .. give her 2 years or so .. she would be great ..

Anyway .. this is my start when I spotted her doing a collaboration..


Overall .. I think they are talented enough .. but the promotion is almost non existent .. I only know of the single because I was expecting it ..
furthermore ..Avex didn't even put a preview up on their You-Tube channel when they usually does that for all their release under their label ..

I would like to know more about their history ..
Like how come there are 6 members on the agency but now its settle on 5 members ..
The 6th member is the same girl in Petit mImi?

[I ♥ Miyoshi Ayaka]

I don't have all the answers, but I think the sixth girl graduated from the group sometime after the photo was taken.  This happened with another Step One group, Party Rockets.  Originally Party Rockets was to be a seven member group.  Airi became sick after two publicity photos were taken.  PR debuted with just six members and Airi never rejoined.  Of course Airi appeared in Aither in June 2013 with another Party Rockets member, Yuuka.  My friend Chibineko gave the the names of the girls from Petit mImi, so maybe he knows about the mystery girl who left.     

 

As for the muted sound, this has been going on a lot lately.  avex uploaded two videos from a TV show with Prizmmy to one of their YouTube channels (they have at least 3 that I've found) and there was a message that said "the sound has been muted due to a copyright claim, blah blah blah..."  I mean, avex uploaded the videos and they own them, so what copyright claim?  They simply don't want fans to hear these videos I guess.  This is as bad as blocking the videos from all countries outside of Japan.  Believe it or not, I did hear that Akiba Theater promo video once, but when I went back to watch again the sound was muted.  I never thought to download it.      

[Ares13]

^ ..LOL
wow .. I was just at Party Rockets thread yesterday reading up a bit .. some stuff about their origin as I only see 3 member which is kind of small ..  and Koume since I am very into iDOL Street nowadays ..

 

Anyway .. do help me find out more stuff about them ..

 

Actually .. I am really taking a big leap of faith by supporting them ..

One of the things I do not like supporting is when a group seem to be in an organization that lack commitment and progressive plan ..

Looking at Dorothy Little Happy and Party Rockets .. I am worried actually ..

[I ♥ Miyoshi Ayaka]

First of all, the official website needs to added to the first post.  http://mimi-web.com/

Second, the preview of "Lucky Star" is now on YouTube!  I hope you can see this and it's not blocked in your country.  I hope you can hear it too!    

 

[Ares13]

^ ..wow thanks a lot.  

The official website updated on first post.. 

I waited for the preview.. and I love it.. 

So so glad I ordered the single.. 

Now I feel better..  they now look a serious act.. 

And I would follow them..  

[Ares13]

13th position for day 1 sales on Oricon chart 

Hmm.. they seem to do better than I expected..

 

Day 2 .. they fell out of top 30 .. But still I think they had a good day 1

Hope they can finish at top 30 for the week.. 

 

I dunno why..  But they seem to release 1 day early.. actually everyone seem to release early this week.. 

[eyeless]

I follow this group because of Abe Nanami. I think she grows to be one of my favorite idol. And I like Lucky Star.

[Ares13]

ok .. updated first post with more new found stuff from their official site ..

ya .. me too .. I follow this group because of Abe Nanami too ..

Day 3 .. They are not in top 30 again .. but its ok I guess ..

ok .. the single details

I found this group through Avex's youtube channel and I really love Lucky Star!! I can't find this song anywhere though I'm trying to open a Japanese itunes account but everywhere wants me to pay like $20 for a 1000 yen itunes card....
