UFZS [Welcome a new UFA Group!]

Post by Shoujo Q »

I'm just gonna c/p this from Sayunii because it's all sorts of I don't know what and it's confusing and I'm confused on what to make of it. But it's sorta big news so it should be mentioned.



Image


A new project have been announced for 5 of the H!P Eggs which are Satou Ayano, Arai Manami, Sekine Azusa, Furukawa Konatsu, and Mori Saki. (Mori Saki and Furukawa Konatsu though are no longer eggs so I dunno.. new gig yay?).The project that was mentioned is really special since it consists of these girls forming atemporary dance group called UFZS that will represent Up-Front Agency in this particular type of dance covers that other Japanese groups and artists are also doing, where each agency/compagny will be represented by a group of their artists.



The mention was about the girls debuting officially at an event called DREAM ON! vol.2, and even though the description of their activities are vague, the overall idea is as following: the girls now forming this group will perform several K-Pop dance covers in a competition that will most probably not be held in one day (they mentionned their debut only at one precise date).





Their debut will be during the event on 3/31 called DREAM ON! vol.2 at Shibuya O-East.




Original Tweet and Website about the event.



Also UFZS will be part of a new Satelite TV show. The show will be called Up-Front Girls and will be on SkyPerfectTV on 4/2 and will feature artists within UFA.

This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

So, are they doing euro-beat/parapara or more idol-y stuff? Though K-pop is a little more hip-hop... B-boy maybe?



Also, a dance group doing a radio show? I guess they're looking to be announcers.

I'm assuming they're going to just be covering girl group dances, so I wouldn't expect any b-boying (it's really only 2PM that does that sort of thing anyway).





Was sort of interested until I heard they're doing kpop dance covers. I have enough of those in my life. Hopefully they diversify it a bit and do more than just covers. Some original dance routines would be nice if they can pull it off.

What is a "dance" cover? Are they just copying the choreography of a Kpop group's dance? Or does that mean they are dancing to Kpop?

>They only dance



So basically, this is SI*NA 2.0?



Also a dance cover is basically doing the dance to a song. So like, the group would get together and do the dance to "Kimagure Princess" live. Something like that.

I find this utterly pointless though, but atleast the eggs are getting use.

There's an introduction video for them... I'm trying to figure out what dance they're doing. It looks sort of like 4minute to me, but I haven't seen a dance from a Korean group for a long time. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' />

That's definitely not a 4minute dance. Doesn't look like Kara, SNSD, T-ara or f(x) either.



I have no clue who they're dancing to there.

Bump since they finally did something.



4minute's Hot Issue and Suki-chan



Hot Issue is a mess, but anyone who's seen a live of the original would know it's a complete mess in general, so emulation succeeded.

They have an official Nico Nico Douga channel now.



So far, there's three videos:



Them performing Romantic Ukare Mode. Only one person is singing though, and I can't tell who.



The announcement of Akari joining the group



Five of them doing a dance cover of Dance de Bakoon!

Dance de Bakoon on Youtube

I can't really tell which one is Akari in this video. >.<



I hope they do some singing too. I know that they sang and danced to All for One & One for All.



I hope to see more from them soon.



EDIT: Updated the link with a HD version of the video. Much clearer.

^Akari is the one in boots, and the pinkish flowy shirt.



Woah, they're really really good, like as good as C-ute maybe, that's expected though since they're former eggs.

They've been eggs longer. Mizu joined eggs in 2008.

They joined in 2004, with the exception of Konatsu in 2005 and Ayano in 2009.
