Mariri is just as bad at bowling as i am.
Sakura Gakuin are my favorite idols. Their music to me is the most original music being created by any popular music group on this planet. They do not sing one style of music over and over like some artists do. These girls dare to be different. Many of their songs have a rock sound, some qualifying as hard rock. The subunits also do 1980s style synth pop songs and metal/dance pop hybrids! Their music is constantly fun to listen to and never boring. Sakura Gakuin's ballad, "message", is a mid-paced song with harmonica and solo lines from three of the girls. Miyoshi Ayaka gets the first solo, and her voice is like an angel! Nakamoto Suzuka has the second, and she has a good voice as well. Former leader Muto Ayami has the final solo, and I like it, but not as much as Ayaka's and Suzuka's. I have listened to their album "Sakura Gakuin 2010 ~message~" multiple times, and I still enjoy it every time. I expect nothing but good things from this group in the future!
I have many other favorite idol groups. Mostly they are groups which few have heard of or support. I feel that young, up-and-coming groups should be supported and promoted as much as possible, since their careers are just beginning and they are the future of music. Even if they do not make a big impact or sell millions of CDs and other merchandise, they can still sing great songs capable of inspiring good feelings in the fans who adore them. All idol groups need love and support from fans who love Japanese pop music, because who else is going to adore them and praise them for their talents?
I thought I'd update my favorite groups and list my favorite members as well, even if they have graduated and are no longer idols.

Smile Gakuen has had some graduations. I'm not sure if they broke up or if the tryout have just become the new members. https://www.facebook...1052016?fref=nf

Mezase has only been on one album before hasn't it?
I get what you mean about the lack of CD singles though, no B sides that way due to them moving to a DVD format for singles, also they might have had trouble recording due to Moa and Yui being half way around the world for a large portion of last year.
The original "Mezase! Super Lady" song was a B-Side on the "My Graduation Toss" Limited B single. The new version would be the third.
I know everyone here except me is a card-carrying member of the BABYMETAL Fan Club, so you'll be throwing tomatoes at me just for saying this, but this isn't the first time that BABYMETAL activities have put a limit on Sakura Gakuin activities. And I know you all know this. Back on the "2012 ~My Generation" we got a B-Side and only one new song. And there was TIF 2014 with no Moa and Yui, except a video on a screen. Moa and Yui being busy are why there were DVD singles this year instead of regular singles. Less songs to write and record for Sakura Gakuin and more concentration on BABYMETAL for Moa and Yui. And after March all of this "dual group activities" for those two will be finished. Now I do like Moa and Yui, but this will probably be a relief for everyone as this puts less stress on these girls....and BABYMETAL fans who ask questions like, "Who are those girls in this video with Moametal and Yuimetal? Where is Su-metal? I don't understand!!!" So I'm going to duck and run now since I've just caused everyone to hate me even more...

Thank you! I've heard Sakuran Bom Bom perform that live (I've watched the fan video for this several times), but I thought it was one of their songs. I learn something new every day about idols!
