New single to be released on the 27th April under Avex Trax?

Daily Sports
Tokyograph

YAY~!! for DiVA
No Amina though

[mixedmedia]

Was just thinking of starting this thread also. Good job!

Can we also include talk/pics about DIVA in the DiVA thread? Maybe the other girls will have another subunit called dIVA or DIvA or DIVa?

Anyways, psyched for Umeda and Yuka. Hope they can take advantage of being with the popular Saeyaka pair to get more exposure.

Pic of the newly formed group after Sayaka finished the Tokyo Marathon. If the pic is too big I'll change it to a thumbnail. Sorry.



Official site is up too! http://avexnet.or.jp/diva/

Type C of the single will have "Blue Rose" DiVA version!

[Krusha]

For those wondering why x and y girl isn't in this unit, I think it's important to note:

All 4 girls here are office48 agency girls. Amina is on Atelier Duncan. Nacchi - who would also fit - is on Watanabe Entertainment.

For Itano Tomomi's handshake event (and also theater ver. c/w song "Tsundere!!" - an A5 original) the girls participating together with her are all AKB48 girls who are on Horipro agency.

Not only is Sayaka captain again but she's also in a new unit, this is WIN

[Haruna Ogata (Real)]

2/3 of what used to be Chocolove from AKB?

I find this new unit highly exciting.
If they're keeping the musical direction of DIVA, then I find it even more exciting.

Also... Avex Trax? Or perhaps this wasn't confirmed yet?

Edit:
I love how they're called a "Dance & Vocal Group"
It makes me think of SPEED. And I really like SPEED.

SO glad you mentioned this, first thought was 'omg sae replaced nacchi?!' but it actually makes sense.
(though I'm now thinking about whether kana is leaving akb48 soon or not, since she's the only office48 not here)

Just ordered type-a from cdjapan. If they made a PV for Blue Rose I would have ordered type-c instead but since they didn't I rather have the making.

Hope they keep the style the same as with DIVA from the AKB48 singles.

^ So many versions again! Just one this time, I swear

Not only is Sayaka captain again but she's also in a new unit, this is WIN

The real WIN in this unit is Umeda Ayaka. ABOUT TIME she got some attention!!!

[mixedmedia]

Anytime Umeda and Masuda get more spotlight is good!

Maybe a year ago (before I knew about them) I'd be all excited about another Saeyaka unit (I still am) but currently more excited to see/hear more Umeda and Masuda.

[droopy10]

I wonder if they are even in that clip?

But glad that it seems they are keeping the same kind of music concept from the singles.

The short haired (center) is Sae?

[lynx212]

^
Yeah, I'm sure that's Sae..

I'm still new to this all...I'm guessing she was someone who didn't get much screen time?

Well that's great news then!

[greah]

I'm still new to this all...I'm guessing she was someone who didn't get much screen time?

also - Ayaka, Sayaka and Sae are close friends which makes this unit even more epic



6 versions? that's just cheap
