LoVendoR thread, aka Reina's in a Rock Band

[momoirosaya]

I'm gonna send in STD, Sweet Tough Dolls. It's horrible sounding engrish, which Japanese love, and the english speaking communities can get a laugh out of it.

I was trying to think of a name with COMPLEX in it so we can shorten the name to -con. I could think of nothing.

Come on, "COMPLEX" shortens to "com." C'mon. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... adwall.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headwall:' />

Have the new girls said who their musical influences are? Maybe that could help people choose a name for them.

[rob]

As for the naming of the band, Tsunku said like this.

バンドなのでもちろんテーマは「ロック」ですが、

「美しく可憐で　でも、ちょい悪なロック」を目指して行きたいと思います。

この辺も踏まえてバンド名の方も考えていただけると幸いです！

Reina said like this.

かっこかわいい感じがいーなぁ

へんてこりんなの やめてょね(笑)

[Melon]

Thanks for that masa! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />



Hard rock, heavy metal, and pokemon. Calling Marin as a favorite!

[cadmonkey]

Thanks for the info masa! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



I think Marin is already my favorite...and why doesn't Reina want weird names?

That's only because they don't have an 'm' syllable <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />



Anyway, yeah Marin's looking kind of awesome on paper.I guess we'll have to hear, though. I wonder if any of the Sharan Q guys (other than Tsunku of course) are helping out with this...

Tsunku:

The theme of the band name should of course be "rock,"

but I'd like to aim for something "Beautiful and sweet but a little badass rock."

I'd be happy if you used this to think up a band name!



Reina:

I want it to be something cool.

Don't pick anything weird. (lol)

[yuzuriha]

I submitted "Reinya SEA" because I am annoying.



SEA comes from Marin/Marina's names.

[Enmiz]

I sent in "Heartline"... they can play off of EKGs and doki doki and all of that fun stuff....

[honey]

I sent in "QUARTZ" because quartz are pretty, sparkly and a little edgy and badass. I also paired each member with their respective quartz types (smoky quartz, rose quartz, amethyst and citrine) because Tsunku loves shit like that.

[Shoujo Q]

Can you just imagine them trying to say Quartz? Epic fail! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... R#>/8o.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8o' />

[Pucchi-Mo]

but for Tsunku, it would have to be something obnoxiously stylized.



Q-artZ The Q of Sharam Q & the Z of BerryZ, instant winner. Also it contains "rt" as in Reina Tanaka. Maybe some stupid obscure text character in place of the hyphen. There we go.



Q☞A®†Z



Screw it, let's just call them ¶‽ Pilcrow Interrobang, it's a new train of thought followed by an excited question. Tsunku, we know you want to use something even more frustrating than W as a group name, here is your chance (wakuteka...)





Anyway, this is so happening, get used to it. I've decided their fate. They won't be able to resist this one...

BAND NAME: 〜 （なみダッシュ）



(pronounced NAMIDASH if you can't see/read hiragana & katakana)



Would he dare pick such a name? It's basically the tilde that appears in a ton of song titles. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[rallyleo]

It's official. I'm in love with Pucchi mo. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[yuzuriha]

I think we all are...

[AEUGNewtype]

I also just realized that this Marina is the same girl that was in TNX up til last year and mysteriously disappeared from their roster... I guess this project would explain that.

That Marina was Kozuka Marina. They also have different birthdays.

[AEUGNewtype]

Didn't look that far into it. I would figure that 2 people with the same stage name from the same producer might be the same person. She never did anything anyway, so it ultimately doesn't matter. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

[al kusanagi]

So the name is apparently "Lovendor." Yeah...

[cadmonkey]

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

[Solarblade]

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

[aine]

Lame. I was really hoping they would give it a serious treatment and not use a gimmicky pun name for once. :shrug:

That's what I thought, too.

[bowbow0720]

For some reason, I can't wait for this to fail. She cannot break the record of failing musume graduates.

Weird. I don't hate Reina why am I saying this?

[star]

My expectations for this band have just lowered drastically. "LoVendeR" is not only a really stupid name, but its stylized all stupid like. The backwards R just makes me think of little kids. Also, I love Reina so much, but she just looks out of place with the others. She shorter than all of them and she just looks a little childish.
