Little late, but Haraeki Stage A got their own youtube channel!
https://www.youtube....OvbWexUimHvyctg
Their trailer (super cool!!!!!!!!)
and two dance practice videos that have been uploaded so far!
Posted 13 August 2017 - 12:07 PM
The studio where they recorded the レッテル Dance Practice Ver. video looks like the same one as Fairies used for their latest two dance rehearsal videos.
I wonder if they work with the same choreographer(s)?
Posted 13 August 2017 - 07:10 PM
^They're both under rising pro so I guess it's not surprising they would share the same facilities (and possibly choreographers as well?).
I personally wouldn't mind seeing a collab between the two
But I do hope RP lets Haraeki start singing live already...from what I could tell, they've never sung live before (or if they did, the back track always overpowered everything).
Posted 18 September 2017 - 05:39 AM
So, after a month of daily viewing of the above dance practice videos and whatever else I could find on YouTube, I have decided to support 原駅ステージA.
Though, like others have noted, they do not seem to sing live which is a disappointment, but they can obviously sing well enough in the studio to have recorded several quality songs. Maybe like early MomoClo, the stamina required for their high-intensity dancing keeps them too short of breath to properly deliver their vocals and that is something I can understand. Their lives are still a pleasure to watch because of their dance.
Having accepted the responsibilties of fandom, the next step is to select an 推しメン (oshimen) and my first thought is to pick the prettiest. Which is...
(L to R) Hinata Nanako Rina Kiri Anri Marin
...which one?! Not an easy choice.
What are the qualities that helped me pick an 推し (oshi) for the other idol groups that I follow?
TGS / Ayano Konishi - Her personality and her voice.
Cheeky Parade / Rino Shimazaki - The fact that she laughs at everything (personality trait?).
tsuribit / Ayu Konishi - Her personality and her MC skills.
OnePixcel / Ayaka Den - Her dance and her beauty.
Fairies / Mahiro Hayashida - Her loud voice (personality trait?).
Okay, so four out of five 推し agree that personality counts and as the saying goes...
...birds of a feather flock together...
...therefore Marin Makino is to be my 推しメン from 原駅ステージA.
&&&&&&&&&&
Though I just noticed that she existed somewhere in is this world, Marin has been working hard to get to where she is. She recently stated that she would like to return to Nagano to perform so her family and friends can directly see she what she has achieved. That sentiment I can agree with because isn't that what we all want, to be appreciated for what we are by those we love and hold dear?
In this blog post the volumes of 長野美少女図鑑 (Nagano Beautiful girl pictorial book) that Marin was featured in are listed:
Vol.2 2010.6.20
She has been with Rising Production since at least 2011, beginning as part of...
原宿キラキラ学院
Harajuku KIRAKIRA Academy
And like all of the Fairies, Marin was once a Harajuku Girl...
&&&&&&&&&&
She was featured in an issue of Weekly Young Jump last year...

Oh, I didn't know there was a thread for this project.
It's really sad that Ekimae Stage A lost two more members, and they haven't released a single in almost a year. I wonder what will happen with that group.
On Nanako's birthday (January 7th), Hustle Press released a new set of pictures of her. She's my favorite since she was in Under Face (the picture in my avatar).

Hustle Press have many articles featuring the girls in these groups.

There are some channels in youtube that upload their performances and other videos.

Haraeki Stage A continues with only four member. They announced a new song titled ONE&ONLY. I believe they presented it on their show.

ふわふわ (Fuwa Fuwa) recently appeared on the TBS TV music program 「PLAYLIST」 where they performed both the title, 「Viva!! Lucky4☆」, and coupling, 「シャンシャンシャボン玉」, tracks from their new single which releases on 03/13.
A very short version of the MV was uploaded to the avex channel on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and some of the comments noted that:
1. the upload was too short
2. the song and dance are 原駅ステージA (Haraeki Stage A(ce)) material
3. the song and dance are not fluffy (ふわふわ translates as fluffy)
4. why don't the girls in back have any camera time?
5. is 平塚日菜 (Hiratsuka Hina) now the center?
6. has Fuwa Fuwa lost members?
ふわふわ / 「Viva!! Lucky4☆」 Music Video
I didn't really notice Fuwa Fuwa until after I started to listen to Haraeki Stage A and while looking for their videos stumbled on the Fuwa Fuwa 5th single 「ジェリービーンズ」 (Jellybeans) Music Video and was captivated by the red headed girl on the left of the dance line.
click
When Fuwa Fuwa first started, they had nineteen members but by the time Jellybeans was released they were down to fourteen and those members are the ones that I became accustomed to as making up Fuwa Fuwa. They are also the members who were involved in the production and promotion of the 6th single 「桜並木」 (Sakura Namiki) and the photos from the Harajuku Ekimae Stage profile page for Sakura Namiki are where I really learned to recognize them.
And yes, they have lost members...
...but all of the Harajuku Ekimae Parties have lost members...

The newest members of the Harajuku Ekimae Parties are 原宿駅前フレッシュ (Harajuku Ekimae Fresh) and they have been officially added to the Profile page...
click
...but they seem to have arrived as activities are declining compared to the two previous years...
click
...and the schedule beyond May is just as empty.
The only days in May when they performed on their own stage was for the shows on the 25th and the 26th. LiKE was at an Idol Event at 新宿ReNY (Shinjuku ReNY) on May 10th and all of the Ekimae Parties, including PLUMERIA, were at the first performance of the new era, Reiwa, on May 4th at 渋谷ストリームホール (Shibuya Stream Hall).

☆ Reiwa first live end ~ ~!
☆ In the shuffle unit corner, Chu Chu and Fuwari Otome BEAM were presented with these members
☆ Thank you very much everyone who came! !
☆Rurika ☆Koharu
伊藤小春 (Ito Koharu) was one of three members, along with my oshi 吉澤瑠莉花 (Yoshizawa Rurika) and the Fuwa Fuwa center 岩崎春果 (Iwasaki Haruka), of a permanent shuffle group, ふわふわ (Fuwa Fuwa 3), that only performed one song, Fuwari Otome BEAM.
★★★★★★
Koharu also seems to be the only one that continues to carry the Fuwa Fuwa Gravure flag and she is on the cover of Young Magazine which relaeses today...
...and she was previously in the April 15th Weekly Playboy...
...which introduced her on the cover with...

The Fuwa Fuwa one-man live Fuwa Fuwa Wonder-Land rehearsal is released.❣
Did a cover song on that day!
What song❓
In this first rehearsal video they are learning a dance that is obviously new to them and some members are having a hard time of it...
...but that dance is instantly recognizable...
