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)?

^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 XD 

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).

So, after a month of daily viewing of the above dance practice videos and whatever else I could find on favicon_32-vflOogEID.pngYouTube, 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...

6gVgvoS.jpg
(L to R) Hinata Nanako Rina Kiri Anri Marin

...which one?! Not an easy choice.

IBXHIkj.png

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...

xaeeQzX.jpg

...birds of a feather flock together...

OH4jicR.jpg

...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:
20151128195745.jpg
Vol.2 2010.6.20


She has been with Rising Production since at least 2011, beginning as part of...
photo.jpg
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...
7GwDuFl.jpg

Spoiler


&&&&&&&&&&

Marin's personality trait that has me so enamored is her high energy level which lies beyond 元気 (genki) and has morphed her Marin's Corner with Kuro-san into 牧野真鈴のはりきっていこう! (Makino Marin's Excitement!).

In the clip that follows, Marin asks Kuro-san if he's feeling exicted and when he claims that he is, she tells him he's not even genki. She then calls for help and バウちゃん (Bau-chan) shows up. Now, this 11 year old NEXT girl is バウエル ジゼル 愛華 (Bauer Giselle Aika) and her energy level is 180° from Marin's but she is just so darn 可愛い (kawaii). Marin explains that Bau-chan has a fairy voice and proceeds to demonstrate and this entire segment is such a real pleasure to watch.

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).

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.

cq9Weil.jpg 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...

G7ZmrC4.jpg

...but all of the Harajuku Ekimae Parties have lost members...

January 2018

Spoiler


January 2019
Spoiler


Some of the members that belonged to 原宿乙女 (Harajuku Otome) and ピンクダイヤモンド (Pink Diamonds) are still performing under Rising Production but others have left to pursue new challenges.

Early last year the members of the trainee group 原宿駅前パーティーズNEXT (Harajuku Ekimae Parties NEXT) started performing independent of the other groups,  including at TIF 2018, and in September they debuted as LiKE and later had a tour announced, ALOHA LiKE TOUR 2018-2019. Though one of the members, 西山瑚々 (Nishiyama Koko), had prior academic commitments and will not participate in the tour.

This is an official performance of their song 「おとぎ話だね」 (A Fairy Tale).



To take over the trainee role, a new group was formed, 原宿駅前フレッシュ (Harajuku Ekimae Fresh) but the staff had asked fans to refrain from sending gifts or messages to these new members because the lineup was still subject to change.

WAVyuGP.jpg click

Another new group was also formed that did some performances in December and were scheduled for more performances in January but it was announced their vocalist had been diagnosed with influenza so the group would not be present and there has been no further mention of them.

lUF4E86.jpg click
PLUMERIA

But it's not just the Parties that have undergone transformation, their Stage itself has changed. They used to advertise on how close the fans were able to enjoy their interaction with their idols on the runway stage...

ozktObI.jpg

...but now it has turned into an experience common to any other stage...

Q3r8htv.jpg

...and they have recently had to raise the furthest seats because the view was apparently not so good from there.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

It's been almost a year since the Harajuku Ekimae Parties stopped doing their weekly broadcast on Abema TV, which had been streamed live since June of 2016, and this is the closing segment from the last show on March 22, 2018.



The Harajuku Ekimae Parties had also been featured regularly on HUSTLE PRESS since January 04, 2016...
caI7g9P.jpg click

...but their last feature was on December 28, 2018.
lg8GrQv.jpg click

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

So what happened to the red haired girl, you ask? Of course you do.

In the Fuwa Fuwa group profile picture there are ten members included but there are individual pictures for twelve members. The two members at the bottom are 吉澤瑠莉花 (Yoshizawa Rurika) and 松崎梨央 (Matsuzaki Rio) and both of them are wearing costumes from the last single release they participated in. Rurika is wearing the costume from Sakura Namiki and Rio is in the costume for the debut single, Fuwa Fuwa Sugar Love. However, Rio has never been included in any of the group profile pictures and when Fuwa Fuwa Sugar Love was released, she was not featured on an individual limited edition jacket cover.

I have never been able to find any information on the reason for her absence but it seems to be a medical hiatus and she posts rather regular on her official twitter and the Harajuku Ekimae Parties LINE BLOG. She often mentions that some days she is doing real well and has been able to sing with no problem but on other days she seems less genki. If you look for her on YouTube you can find quite a few videos of her performing Enka when she was about ten years old.

Rurika went into hiatus with no explanation and her last performance was at the April 14, 2018 「新星堂 みゅーじっ倶楽部 ~NEXT BREAK SHOWCASE~」 (SHINSEIDO MUSIC CLUB ~NEXT BREAK SHOWCASE~) and after the Fuwa Fuwa one man live at the Belle Epoque Beauty College on April 21, 2018, some of the other girls mentioned that they had to make a lot of last-minute adjustments to their routine because of missing members (Rurika and 鈴木瞳美 (Suzuki Hitomi)).

The members of the Harajuku Ekimae Parties sometimes perform as sub-groups for single songs on the Ekimae Stage and are know by the song they perform. Rurika and Rio were part of a sub-group known as TOKYOマジック (TOKYO MAGIC) along with 山本七聖 (Yamamoto Nanase), 兼次桜菜 (Kaneshi Sana), and 横田美雪 (Yokota Miyuki). It seems they were selected because Rio is Fuwa Fuwa's strongest singer and the other four are the strongest dancers.

nzdxMMI.jpg click
(l to r: Miyuki Rurika Rio Sana Nanase)

The red haired girl is Rurika and she is my oshi and because the group is so large, Nanase is my second oshi. Both of them started with VISION FACTORY, which is now RISINGPRODUCTION, as part of the group of 7 selected from the 5000 applicants in the 2012 Fairies NEXT audition .

83FT9Yp.jpg click

Of the 7 selected, 3 girls became members of Harajuku Ekimae Parties:
入江ひなた (Irie Hinata) - Haraeki Stage A
山本七聖 (Yamamoto Nanase) - Fuwa Fuwa
吉澤瑠莉花 (Yoshizawa Rurika) - Fuwa Fuwa

石田千穂 (Ishida Chiho) left VISION FACTORY at some point and went on to become a member of STU48:

h38j6aJ.jpg click

If the other three have established themselves as major, or even minor, artists or talents, I have not been able to find anything.

Another Fuwa Fuwa member with interesting origins is Miyuki who came from ミレニアムガールズ (millennium-girls) and...

KbTtg1L.jpg click

...was selected to be a member of their 2nd single 「♯ノイジーガール」 (# Noisy Girl) release team.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

The following three images are from screen captures of SNS accounts that have been deleted but I saved them because someday I'll want to remember the happy times each of the young ladies brought to me. The videos linked are originally from the same accounts but do not directly relate to that particular tweet.

There is a YouTube channel, わにっこチャンネル (Watcher Channel), where the uploader is working to preserve as much as they can of Harajuku Ekimae Parties content and that includes most of the Ameba TV weekly streams. Unfortunately, there is so much there that it's becoming harder to find the older content unless you know part of the title and can search.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

山本七穂 (Yamamoto Nanaho) is one of the Fuwa Fuwa members who has left and her last twitter post referenced her LINE BLOG entry No.849 where she said goodbye to all her supporters. She used to blog every day and one of the comments on her final blog was from a fan that stated they would wait for her entry No.850. Unfortunately, for some unexplained reason, Harajuku Ekimae Parties has purged the majority of the blog posts from all former members including all 849 from Nanaho.

In the screen cap of her final tweet I have included her profile because it reveals some of what she was feeling as she left her idol life behind.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

April 13, 2018 was Hitomi's 17th birthday and Harajuku Ekimae Parties had a Birthday Event on April 15, 2018 but because for the Sakura Namiki single the 14 Fuwa Fuwa members had been divided into two groups, Cherry and Lemon, only 7 were there for her ceremony. She read a letter to the audience and to her fellow members and later posted the contents to her final LINE BLOG post; which has since been purged like Nanaho's. She thanked everyone that has supported her and mentioned the strengths of her fellow members that helped keep her going but ultimately, it wasn't enough.

The one negative experience that added to her decision to leave that most sticks in my mind was:

ずっと後ろのポジションで
In the position behind forever

❤︎
またいつか 、どこかで会えますように
今まで本当にありがとうございました
❤︎

Someday, hope to meet again somewhere.
Until now, truly, thank you.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

Nanase was a pillar for Fuwa Fuwa in both the physical sense and in her determination to succeed. The other members had commented on her strong opinion and that she didn't hold back on expressing it. She was a back girl and many times was the balance to 赤坂星南 (Akasaka Sena) because they were the tallest. She was also a black belt in karate and one of the better dancers in Fuwa Fuwa, but all that leg work led to a knee injury and she was out twice for surgery and physical therapy. In the Jellybeans Music Video she is not present for any of the dance shots and only appears in the close-up shots. Following the 2nd medical hiatus she decided that she did not want to risk a permanent disability so she elected to leave after the April 21, 2018 one man live.

From her final blog post:

私はまだ16歳です。
どんなに悩んだって、人生の1/6程度の知識しか無いのです。
...
この決断は私にとってとても前向きな決断です。
...
ふわふわとしての活動は私の人生において最も大きな出来事で、かけがえのない時間でした。

I am only 16 years old.
How much (can I) worry after all, that is only about 1/6th of my life experience.
...
This decision is a very positive decision for me.
...
The Fuwa Fuwa activity was the biggest event in my life, an irreplaceable time.

wV9fPxZ.jpg click

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

o99uXmT.jpg

Nanase and Rurika shared the same birthday, August 27, though Nanase is two years older. This was for their birthday in 2017, which is the last they had while active with Fuwa Fuwa; the strawberries are Rurika's desire and the black belts they wear are of course for Nanase.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

vPFABLY.jpg click

Three years ago when she was just starting to really work as an idol, Rurika's feet didn't even reach the floor while sitting in a chair, and that is just too cute. I don't know if she will ever return to the stage so all I can do is hope and wait on my oshi.

☆🕛☆🕒☆🕕☆🕘☆

Now that the members that brought me to follow Fuwa Fuwa have left or become inactive, my inclination is to stop supporting what is left. There are none of the young ladies that I dislike but I don't feel a bond to any of them like with Nanase and Rurika. However, there are three of the back girls that try very hard and I respect that so for them, 塚田百々花 (Tsukada Momoka). 本島莉々果 (Motoshima Ririka), Miyuki, I will continue to support Fuwa Fuwa.

But I'm not really sure I like the direction Fuwa Fuwa is taking:

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...

VgqgM2M.png click

...but they seem to have arrived as activities are declining compared to the two previous years...

9ot74XG.jpg 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).

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...

In a previous entry I mentioned Miyuki and that she came from ミレニアムガールズ (millennium-girls). In Fuwa Fuwa she has always been a back girl but she seemed to enjoy what she was doing and was an obviously hard worker. None of the members from Fuwa Fuwa have a large following on SNS but Miyuki was growing her followers on twitter and has a much bigger audience on TikTok. Awhile back, one of her uploaded videos even made it into the Hot category.

noy1ehd.jpg click

Quite a few of the videos she uploads are of her dancing and it shows that it is one of her skills. This video is a very short demonstration that was recently uploaded to TikTok by 兼次桜菜 (Kaneshi Sana) where the two of them dance with Haruka.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Recently Miyuki had been posting to twitter with less regularity and in the pictures she uploaded she often looked melancholy. In this post at the end of April she included pictures of herself at her start with Fuwa Fuwa and at the end of the Heisei era.

In the same previous entry, I mentioned a sub-group known as TOKYO MAGIC which was made up of Miyuki, Sana, Rurika, 山本七聖 (Yamamoto Nanase), and 松崎梨央 (Matsuzaki Rio). In this twitter post Miyuki talks about them when they were formed, choreographed, and made their first stage performance.

Today, Rio, Sana, Rurika and Nanase showed off their new song TOKYO MAGIC with 5 people! I am really happy to succeed!

It was choreographed by YORI of DA PUMP

The five members almost six years ago when they first performed together...

...then the last performance during the Nanase and Rurika birthday event on September 1, 2017...

...and out of the five the only active member left is Sana.



When Miyuki left millennium-girls and came to Ekimae Parties, she did so with 三根優希 (Mine Yuuki) who went straight into 原宿乙女 (Harajuku Otome) and Miyuki was placed in NEXTパーティーズ (NEXT Parties) with 東慧依 (Azuma Kei), 加世堂愛 (Kasedo Ai), and 渋谷栞南 (Shibuya Kanna).

Eventually Kei was placed in Harajuku Otome and she kept a tight friendship with Miyuki and at the end of 2018 when Ekimae Parties made their major changes, Kei chose to leave. In tribute to her,  Miyuki posted a couple of videos to twitter...

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...

The Ekimae Parties schedule continues to be very light on dates.

ofu3zm7.png click

On 09/05 Harajuku Stage A had a one-man live and on 09/29 will be Fuwa Fuwa's one-man live. On 09/21 and 09/22 the Ekimae Parties will have two shows each day with Fuwa Fuwa, Ekimae Stage A and Harajuku Ekimae Fresh performing.  The last time the group LiKE performed was during the TIF in August and there have been no new performance dates for them posted.

For the four shows on 09/21 and 09/22, Fuwa Fuwa will be short one member because it was announced that 平塚日菜 (Hiratsuka Hina) would be absent and it might have something to do with activities for the book she is releasing on 09/27.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

There has been a recent curious change in the Fuwa Fuwa profile page member sort order. In the summer of 2017 when 石井美優 (Ishii Miyuu) and 谷野有沙 (Tanino Arisa) left the Ekimae Parties and 塚本凪沙 (Tsukamoto Nagisa) transferred from Fuwa Fuwa to Harajuku Otome, Nagisa and 松崎梨央 (Matsuzaki Rio), who was and still is on some unexplained hiatus; were moved to the bottom of the profile thumbnail order.
Prior to that, the members had always been listed in 五十音 (gojūon) order and in that order 吉澤瑠莉花 (Yoshizawa Rurika) was already last so she didn't move when she also went into an unexplained hiatus.
In the image below, the two members in costumes that don't match the current single's costume are Rio and Rurika, but Rio has moved back into her gojūon sort order postion and Rurika remains in hers.
