Honestly just don't respond and report the accounts they might not do anything but at least there's a record of that the person behind the accounts is crossing the line... and yes making everyone esle look like idiots by association.

I wish nothing important happens while I'm sleeping D:

Hahaha, live shows are awesome but I felt bad for Airi who awkwardly had to wait for the song to start and then had to run backstage because they turned on the wrong one. Girl was almost in tears, but I can't help but chuckle at the kind of things that happen during live shows..

Selling goods
Power of long arms. They had to rush the girls away cause no one was moving for people that wanted to buy the goods.

There's a lot of waiting in between events, but it was worth it when Riho, Duu (via Riho), and Miki commented via the official モーニング娘。 ’15 account.

Why the hell is Up Up Girls still indie?

Probably the same reason why Negicco is still independent.
I'll put the rest of my post in spoilers since it is off-topic.

Spoiler

We had this discussion a few days ago.
It comes down to distribution network for their singles and albums for physical copies.
Since UUG is under T-Palette they have access to the huge network of Tower Record stores and HMV stores too it seems.
And you can get them from online stores like CDJapan.
This is one of the main reasons why artists sign up with Major labels ( in Japan anyway, not sure how it works overseas ), to get access to the distribution network that the association offers.
So the only reason now to go Major is the need to be recognized by the industry.
Even that line is starting to blur lately.
If I'm not mistaken Negicco was invited to Music Japan recently.
It is kind of unfair for the industry and to a certain degree, music lovers, who ignores independent artists.
 

I just came across another writeup about Major labels.
http://dobod2.livejo....com/33785.html

What is Major Debut?
A single is considered a Major debut in Japan if it was released by a record company that is registered as member of Recording Industry Association of Japan. Currently (As of Oct 2014) there are 17 companies that are registered as a major record label in Japan.

I looked up RIAJ.
Here are the list of member companies.
http://www.riaj.or.j...out/member.html

There are also other recording associations whose members carry the Major record label tag.
At the moment Tower Records/T-Palette do not want to play with this guys

Observation from today. During main stage event (stream programs), random girls will go to booths to participate. Unless your fav is on stage, camp out at activity booths and get ready to move. I'm going to download the stream once im home. I got to play the lotto wheel with 12 gen and spoke english to Miki.

[zam（仮）]

I completely turned off the stream because I thought MM was done missed it. Was there a whole MM segment that I missed? 

[zam（仮）]

^H!P and UF members take turns to host or guest on the different segments on the main stage.
I didn't see that one.

Are you watching the stream now?

[Happy Now?]

Oh, ok. Like when Airi came out and they played the wrong music?

[Pistolero]

Seems like tomorrow will be even better.

[zam（仮）]

^They will stream tomorrow too? Thats great! I missed alot today.

I was impressed with the mini garden. It turned out really good.

I don't think so. I saw the schedule Obsidian posted in previous page.

 

edit: Not sure either way. Only way to find out is to check back tomorrow
