LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band

[AurA]

Woo! I'm really excited for this new group. Tanaka Reina's solo tracks are some of my favorite songs (Ai no Honno is #1 on my list). I'm glad that she is going right into music after graduation. I hope this becomes a more serious music career unlike Ai, where she did one song and was never heard from again..





Is this group going to be considered a H!P sub group? Or is she working with another company?

Ok cool, at least I will get news about releases and such through similar channels. I wonder if she will have her own youtube channel, that would make it pretty easy to keep track of her music for me.

Does anyone know what the Japanese fans think of the name? It sounds/looks awkward to us English speakers, but maybe they like it or something.

[Shoujo Q]

I don't think the name is that odd at all. It sounds like a band name for a rock band. Trust me folks, I've heard some really weird and strange ones, some even worse then this.



I'm just excited to see how this all plays out, for better or worse.



It's funny she looks childish, when she's the oldest in the group, perhaps because she's been associated with Morning Musume for so long. She's had to remain childish to some extent to fit in with the rest of the newer girls. I'm hoping, once outside that bubble of influence, she'll finally be able to be herself.

Part of me wants her to go back to her black hair

Is it bad that I felt like it sounded like Gryffindor?

[/quote]



If it is let's be bad together.



[quote name='cadmonkey' timestamp='1359881382' post='143469']

So it's pronounced "lavender" (ラベンダー). When I first saw it I was thinking something like "love Endor".

Does explain the logo tho.

For a VERY poppy one, maybe.

[Anderei]

I've always been assuming that it was just going to be a pop/rock band that leaned very heavily towards the pop. Y'all silly for thinking different.

This is what I thought of when I saw the name, so I dunno it could still be pretty badass.

All of me has wanted this since she first dyed it.

Holy fuck, that name is horrible. Very little expectation for this, but we'll see how it turns out.

I love you.

[momoirosaya]

Horrible name.

[Enmiz]

Well that names blows. If they accept TnB's Trogdor as their mascot, I might watch them.



Eh, I'll probably watch them if I'm really bored anyway.

TnB, that was beautiful. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



If they're half as good as Scandal or Stereopony (stfu idgaf about your opinion aeug) I'll be happy.

[al kusanagi]

So the official explanation of the name is that it is Love + Vendor.



I was hoping they just really loved Labrador Retrievers.

[Pi Mako]

^ Srsly? "Love vendor" just makes me think of a prostitute. But I guess that's my mind in the gutter. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... wheely.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />

Nope, me too. I think of the girls holding huge signs saying "Come buy my love for only 10,000 yen!"

[JPope]

It's a shit name, but that doesn't mean they'll be a shit band. It all depends on the material they're given. My biggest disappointment is that, without a rhythm section, they're not really a "band" to me.

[al kusanagi]

I'm sure they will, probably from Buono's band.

They said they were going to continue looking for a bassist and a drummer, so hopefully it won't be too long before they find a few more permanent members.

[Pucchi-Mo]

Say what you want, but those are legit rock venues that they've booked.



I think they're going to make a real attempt to separate Reina's new identity from idol pop.





Also, fuck you, you lose, "tilde symbol" pronounced as namidash would have been perfect. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/geof.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':geof:' /> Enjoy your dull and boring existence UFP.

[al kusanagi]

Kei and Asahi interview the group.

[AurA]

I wonder if Reina or any of the others will try songwriting. An original track would be really awesome.

Why on Earth is there not a group called UF LICKS#1 Guest? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' /> Another missed opportunity.



It's cool to see the instrumental part of an audition. I wish I could see the girls who didn't win. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Wait, @20:45 it said they're going to be guests at a concert with Takui! ...& Yossi is one of the MCs!



I really hope he writes a few songs for them. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />
