I think I like the first song more. I can't imagine listening to ^ more than a few times.

It's too bad their debut performance from the idol festival never surfaced anywhere.

Hopefully some real news starts dropping--concerts, official releases, music video, and explanation about the format--I hope it's not always a few vocalists and everyone else performers.

Avex posted a blog on ONECHANCE's performance in a-nation~

There's also a performance that they posted on twitter~ https://twitter.com/...ws/180831_5860 

 

Media coverage (all the photos are the same, seems like Avex took them and sent them to other news outlets)

ONE CHANCE「Don't think, feel」DANCE VIDEO Part2


After some time .. I think I got to know them a bit better ..
Seem Hirari and Anna are the lead vocals and have majority if not all the singing parts ..
I absolutely adore Anna as she seem to have a nice personality and a great voice.. (plus her sister was one of my fav H!P KSS.. love the connection)

Any chances of this group being nominated on Japan Record Awards? I mean, Avex is promoting them really well.

If they release a debut single or album by at least early November, most likely.

[Ares13]

ya.. I think Avex has a better chance of getting into the awards with their artist groups than their idol groups
Its something I don't think about as they are just starting off and the other members who were not in GEM basically has little fans and exposure ..

Oh I forgot to post that the members who were not in GEM are running event on Showroom to get their first avatar ..
They split into 2 group of 3s .. and are taking part in those beginners events ..

The first group of 3 is in this event and its the last day.. (edit: seem it got extended to 30Sep)

I agree. The other non-GEM members have a really large fan gap. I think avex needs to try and get the other girls more exposure somehow. 

Having a large popularity gap might make things weird or awkward. I really wish they would release individual member introductions or something like that. Something that would help with getting to know the other members better. 

[minaeshi]

Maybe even pairing them up with GEM girls could help some of their fans notice the other members? 

I'm sure that when they do debut, the girls will gradually gain popularity, some i think may turn out even more popular than the gem girls.

They are going to perform at COOL JAPAN FEST 2018 in Taiwan

You always beat me in posting updates 

 

Anyways, I'm so happy for them. This is always something I had wished for GEM...but it never happened. 

I'm glad to see avex/ONE CHANCE staff actually trying hard to promote the girls. 

[onesnowyday]

Hey guys, I was checking the ONE CHANCE members' twitters and I found a video of Satori singing

https://twitter.com/...554760447782912

 

She's a pretty decent singer, so it makes me wonder if ONE CHANCE will really stay with only Hirari and Anna as the only singers...

Not to mention, I still think Jurin should be a singer within the group 

 

Edit:

So upon discovering Satori can also sing, I decided to do some research on the member that has caught my eye the most, Luna. 

 

I've been too lazy to do research on all the girls, but I've at least got their names down 

 

Anyways, so Mori Luna. 

I already remember reading on her profile description that she had been a part of BsGirls during 2014-2016. I had heard of BsGirls and watched a couple of their MVs before, but they never really left a deep impression on me so I didn't think much of it. She was one of their main vocalists though. 

For anyone interested, here's some of BsGirls' MVs:

 

 

 

I remember someone telling me that they were originally a cheer leading group, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. 

So it seems sometime between 2016-2017 Luna left the group. 

 

After that, I found out something pretty shocking. She used to be a part of aaa group Loop'us. 

It's particularly shocking for me because I actually used to watch their videos from someone who always uploads a lot of aaa performances on youtube. 

Loop'us and ARCUS were groups I used to watch. Loop'us had 5 members, 3 girls and 2 guys (much like lol). 

 

So Loop'us, like any other aaa group, was a dance and vocal group. So of course, Luna did both singing and dancing. 

They mostly did covers but they also had some original songs.

Here are some of their performances:

 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0ldjzSIq0I

 

If you search up their name in Japanese (ループス), you'll be able to find more videos of their performances. 

 

This is their SNS: 

Twitter: https://twitter.com/loopus_avex

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loopus.avex/

 

The group seems to have disbanded around the beginning of 2018, and so not long after, Luna was probably recruited to be a member of ONE CHANCE. 

 

Like I said before, I really hope she won't stay just a dancer...don't waste these girls' talent avex!

[Ares13]

^ thanks ..
Basically I am wondering about their history ..
They can't like just turn up out of nowhere .. especially most of them past 20s ..
It can't be that they did nothing notable when they are younger ..
We know what the GEM girls did .. the 6 years they went from Streetsei to GEM to disband .. (hirari..folk song to idol to artist..)
But what about the rest ..

That's interesting about Luna .. actually I know she had long hair before that as the earlier video when they first launch .. she had long hair on the practice video but her profile pic is with short hair ..
I am not good at recognizing people and remembering names .. but I have some idea of them now .. I just have little idea of Satori as I dunno why I happen to always miss her Showroom but I just remember her as the one who did the flip

Hope more history of the rest of the members will turn out

ONE CHANCE/a-nation 2018 Community Stage 2018.08.25 Part1

 

So it looks like the girls hand off the mics to each other..? 

[Ares13]

Just wondering .. what is the title of the 2nd song they perform in the video?
Oh .. its a medley .. they go to EZ DO DANCE chorus (I just heard lol cover recently) .. then .. another song which I find familiar but just can't remember

hmm.. not sure shooting Ryoko upskirt at the front of the stage is such a nice thing to do ..
Guess it maybe the best edit they can put together ..

I love Anna singing .. but I realize she needs focus and takes it seriously to sound good .. and she only sound good at the mid high range ..
https://twitter.com/...094681589309440
but she is talented in balloon art
She did more and for each kind of gifts on showroom .. these are just some she posted the picture for

I agree about Anna's singing, I feel like Hirari's singing is more stable in comparison. 

Anyways, about EZ DO DANCE, it's a pretty iconic jpop song by TRF

Jurin has officially been announced as the leader of ONE CHANCE!

https://twitter.com/...921555491643393

 

Interesting choice since Jurin doesn't exactly strike me as "leader" type. She tends to be pretty quiet. 

But well, she does seem like the caring type of person who would look after the members well  

 

 

Btw, seeing as how one chance has already released 3 original songs now, do you guys think they'll be releasing a debut album rather than a single? 

If they release more new songs, I feel like that's what they'll be aiming for.

part 2 of a-nation!

[minaeshi]
