Big news :
 
Airi will have her first solo live at Nippon Budoukan on 7.9 !
 
It's a very surprising news to me, I didn't think they would bet that much on her. I hope for her she will be able to fill it and that it will be a big start for her solo career, not her peak.

That's great news! I hope they release it on disc.
 
And I hope she sings the Flashdance song, "What a Feeling," in English!

She's probably not doing it at max capacity.

I forgot they could also do that. Which may mean they would not sell tickets for the highest seats or the ones half behind the stage ? I don't know how they arrange the hall in these cases.

CD release is unlikely but DVD is almost a given, if they're really trying to promote her.

[Meikochi]

In addition to her 11 performances at Cotton Club in March, Sayumi (and Captain and maybe other members) will do 14 additionnal performances in April.

[Zoe]

I don't remember how the first SAYUMINGLANDOLL was credited, but the music in this one is being credited to Tsunku.

Tamura Meimi was in the latest Trump series play called Grand Guignol. She was cast as a supporting character. She plays a great role, but she really shined while she was singing. So I uploaded her singing. Check it out.
 
And since I'm talking about her, she is going to have a live concert around valentines day. Its a solo live and I can not find a set list or anything... but its meimi, so I have faith in her, especially because she thought she would no longer get to do lives...
 
Blog Entry Announcement
 
Here is the link to her fanclub... since everyone is dying to know...

[Anderei]

Knowing Meimi it's gonna be a bunch of 80s idol music. Maybe she'll throw in a few S/mileage/Angerme if she's allowed to.

Reina will be in a play based off the game Nier Automata.

[Zoe]

It's actually a musical version of the play the game was based off of.

Alleged Tsunku Instagram. Tsuji follows it.

Damn, it's so low budget. Hopefully all of this 20th stuff starts turning things around for her.

Niigaki Risa was featured in a BiSH MV. It's really hard to hear the song since they have the talking over most of it. But it's still pretty good. From what I know, the girls basically meet and talk to the people they admire most and for Ling Ling, it was Risa.

She will also release a solo album on March 14. It is entitled "Sing" and is available on Amazon Japan currently. She also will have an event that will mark the release of the album on the same day. Her band, Peace$tone, and another group will perform.
 
I think the reason why the "Never Forgot" MV is so low budget because it is not sponsored by Up-Front. More like her own band's record company (which is indies, maybe) as the video was uploaded on the band's page.

It's not just the video but the sound production as well.


There was a variety show not too long ago that followed her around for a day, and it showed her to be just scraping by on an extremely tight budget.

Former H!P kenshuusei Tanabe Nanami is finally getting to make her major debut! Her group will be releasing their first major single "LAGRIMA" on March 7th, and it'll be the ending theme for Dragon Ball Super.

Yeah, I was pumped briefly when I thought this would be a UF production. It's SO low budget. The mix is so bad. I really wish UF would've offered her the opportunity to do this properly.

Whoever mixed this, holy shit. I'm a hack, but I could've mixed this better, and I'm not joking.

The huge amount of makeup and styling make her look very different.

Kago featured in XXX's newest music video.

Why does she look so different, so much older? Is it the makeup job done for the video or has she had unnecessary work done?
 
P.S. I like hearing her singing voice again. I wish she'd sing more...alone!

She looks the same as usual to me.

[JPope]

It's probably her makeup, although I think she looks great. 
 
This is the kind of stuff she should have been doing for years now. When she was kicked out of H!P I said that some enterprising rock band should hire her to be their singer, because her baggage would not only not be a problem, but if anything a plus. Well, rock is a dying genre, so hip-hop probably works even better now.  Anyway, this is awesome.

I like how this is completely divorced from idol, though, and that it's kind of creepy and a little nsfw. It's probably too late for her to really build anything off of this, which is kind of a bummer. Had Kago had any sort of adult career supervision after leaving H!P, this is a direction she could have found success with. Entrusting her career to low-level yakuza mules did not exactly serve her well.

[Anderei]

It was never even announced beforehand, I don't think it's a sign of her really trying to do much. She does the random thing here and there but for the most part is just full time mom-ing it.

[yuzuriha]

I kind of fucking love it tbh

Yurina walked in a fashion show:
 

 

 
Good for her, I think she's one of the very very few idols with the makings of a legitimate fashion model. Putting that height to work.
