Not sure if this could go in the release forum or not, but Karin will release her first solo album on October 12th. From Tokyo Hive : Miyamoto Karin will release her first album "Hitoritoiro" on October 12. "Hitoritoiro" will feature a total of 15 tracks including her first singl...

Adrenaline Dame just passed 2-million views.

Now you've got me wondering about the the middle girl, lol. I was certain that was Taguchi, but it appears that Rikako joined the KSS about three months before this performance, so I suppose it could be her? I still think it's Natsumi, though. After some more research, Ruru didn't join KSS until a f...

Nice! I was hoping the next Biyo release would be their 2nd album, so this has me pumped. OTOH, this has all of the ingredients of a disjointed release -- multiple discs, multiple skits, and unit songs sequestered to their own disc -- but eleven new songs and a DANCE☆MAN arrangement is exciting, and...

This is awesome. Maa is going to be a regular on M-line Music.

Good stuff on the latest episode of M-line Music. If you always wondered how "Future Smile" would've sounded with Karin, wonder no more. She's joined by Ruru and ReiRei to complete a Juicy power-trio. https://youtu.be/ylw8j8bDudQ?t=111 Also great is Ai-chan and Reina's version of "Sil...

TGS just released a new album, Nocturnal , which is basically a collection of their singles dating back to 2018, plus two new songs. "Corner Cut Memories" is one of the new tracks, and it's a return to form of sorts. It definitely channels the sound of their prime years with Royal Mirrorba...

I posted this in the OG thread, but meant to post it here. So here it is.

ONE PLUS ONE with Karin and Eba-chan - Ai no Diving

Aibon - Chu! Natsu Party

Ai-chan Shabondama

ONE PLUS ONE with Karin and Eba-chan - Ai no Diving

This is a cool way to run this, and I have a feeling this round will only be a fight for the bottom two or three, at least on the bbs. I'm gonna be a good boy and not vote with any of my Twitter alts, of which I have many, lol. I just got added to a list the other day, so hopefully me RTing these wi...

The latest One On One is incorrectly labeled a "cover" when it's actually a Jurin reunion.

Can Sayubee's drunk ass get a 95 on an extremely difficult song at karaoke?

Ai-chan kills on these old MM songs that she was a part of, but I'd really like to see her sing more stuff outside of her own history.

The latest Upcoming has audition footage of Sakurai and Akari. It's not much to go on -- and I wonder if they purposely release the worst footage they have to both lower initial expectations and set them up to crush those expectations when they debut -- but Akari is definitely the stronger singer an...

New ONE PLUS ONE: Yuumi and Kamiko -- "Akai Earphone"

I've taken the usual discovered-Jpop-song-through-anime road in reverse and found Spy x Family through the opening theme, "Mixed Nuts" by Official HIGE DANdism that I mentioned in the Music forum. If you're looking for some fun, light entertainment -- which is mostly what I want now as it ...

I don't know if it's ever been mentioned here, but the jpopization channel on YT has been uploading a lot of old H!P video content that's been upscaled to 4K. Older videos and live clips previously only widely available in SD now in glorious HD, or at least something approaching it.

"Mixed Nuts" by Official HIGE DANdism is straight fucking fire.

What are the odds of a Fuku/Eri-pon double graduation? I think they're decent.

More Takahashi. Here's a great cover of Aimer's "Zankyosanka"

I think these three would still be around even if Corona never happened. Well don't forget that Erina was getting the graduation push, but she wanted to participate in all the Olympics activities (lol, so much for that). Was that an actual push, or was it just wishful thinking by some fans? :lol:

I don't even think Shion was in the back for her generation. She's the most popular of the three as far as I know, and she is very well known for her great stage performance, facial expressions, etc. Maybe dango-ki is just too strong for any of them to actually stick out. Maybe it's just what I see...

Shion Tamenaga cuts her lines for "Aisubeki Beki Human Life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klGrKeYvuuw&t=746s She's come a long way as a singer since she debuted, which was probably her only weakness. With Wakana being the child prodigy and Rin bursting out this year, Shion is kind o...

I think these three would still be around even if Corona never happened.

Aspiring graphic designers, here's your big opportunity!



I wonder how much turnover they have in these positions?

You're not kidding. With the two youngest members being two of the better singers, OCHA is set up nicely for the long haul. You know, unless Roko and Momo pull a Funa/Kassa and graduate three years from now.
