I just found this thread by randomly browsing the forums and I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for all the people who already posted some great Idols groups. I'm currently looking to expand my Idol library and some of these groups are amazing! I'm looking into buying CDs from quite a few of them when I have extra money lying around.
To keep this thread going, I'm posting my own contribution. This is a group I found out about only recently and I really like them:
From Brian Ashcraft’s “Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential”:
“Thank the French for helping popularize the word “idol” in Japan. In 1964, the comedy film Chercez l’idole hit Japanese theatres, and Sylvie Vartan’s “La plus belle pour aller danser,” the movie’s theme song, sold a million copies. As a wave of Gaelic tunes from young, pretty French chanteuses were snapped up, cover versions of the Franco hits were released to capitalize on the trend”.
…………………..
More later, but you can watch this mini-show with interviews with CANDY Go!Go! and DANCEROID.
Pigoo HD has started its own “idol theater” called “Map Theater” (that is quite close to the building where AKB48 has its own one). Scheduled artists until now: TGS, Super Girls, YGA, Tokyo Cheerx2 Party, Fudanjuku, Up-Front Girls, IDOLStreet, Idol College, etc.
(Remember that they have many AV idols on them, so it can lead to NSFW things)
………..
AeLL on Pigoo Radio Ustream tomorrow (07/07/2011 1:30 PM CEST). Also if you felt inclined Twinklestars (Sakura Gakuin unit-school club) is going to be in some hours on NicoNico Douga. Gate for the show: http://live.nicovide...4204647?ref=top
I don’t think they even have record label, and maybe only one original song (ROUGE), but I’m going to link this one instead (you can see that on the same YT account to literally four fans). Hard to get closer do a show with less.
members: (guess there are no changes so far) - Miki Fukuda - Yui Ogawa (why this sounds so familiar??) - Airi Yamasaki - Asaka Yamasaki - Maiki Ichinose
^ YES, Rinahamu graduated from BiS... damn she is sooooo cute, maybe way too cute for the group format... who knows btw lol half-naked BiS... first the tattu kisses, now running half naked... wonder if they are going to GO WILD on stage (like they do with the kisses)
edit: ohh i get it, that's why they say otskarinahamu at the end of the nerve PV
Usually they wear a more aggressive look, but on PVs they tend to use this anime/cosplay image. On their website you can find links to their blogs, etc.
Oricon has its “traditional” (they did one like this last year) summer idol special: that is a bunch of pictures, an article and little more. This time they have added a chart:
Denpagumi inc's new video on DearStage's YT channel includes among other things: a couple of songs, somebody losing part of their clothes while dancing, pixelated portraits, millions of tears and an AKB-River era joke.
Girls News Idol #16:
Line-up: S/mileage, Mousa (AKB) girls, Idol College (which are going to start their own monthly TV show in the same channel), Momoiro Clover Z, their own theater event (see video):
