Plot. Ayaka plays the main character.

[Solarblade]

And now it sounds like SAW 2

I got that feeling, too. Which means it has to be good, right?

[Hotaru]

Does Ayano's character name mean she is also a male character? Although, its hard to tell the gender just by the name and associating it with the look of the girls on the poster.....

[Anderei]

Maybe. I get the impression that the gender is probably irrelevant to the story.

[Shoujo Q]

This isn't getting an official release yet outside the musical so I'm just going to throw this in here till it does. 
 
Here's the concert rip of Nen ni wa Nen. (Thanks Amped!)
 
They really do give off a Berryz vibe to me, only more polished vocally. (Berryz were not good in the beginning, I think we can all agree on that.)

[TicTacAnyone]

I feel like I like this more than Seishun hahahaha

[momoirosaya]

The lead singers for this song are Ayaka, Minami, and Rei. I'm not surprised Hama-chan didn't get that many lines. they didn't give Rikako any lines either in ANGERME's single and she was the most popular out of the 3. But I am surprised they made Rei a lead singer since she's one of the weaker ones.


This song isn't my favorite so far, but I am excited to see the girls perform it together.

[MejraThea]

I'm surprised they didn't make Sakurako one, she's got some pipes.

[Shoujo Q]

I can see why they threw the newer girls up front. If you didn't follow TNX, these girls are literally unknowns and what better way to showcase them than to make them front girls? They don't expect this single DVD to sell. It's just to get the word out that there's a new group in town so you better take notice. The fans will fall into line, just as the placement of each girl within the group. 
 
I mean, Maasa was one of the front girl in Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai and look where she ended up in the group. 

[Shoujo Q]

Survivor is the theme to Weekend Survivor. They played it today on the radio if you'd like to listen. [here]
 
It sounds like a song for a musical only with a rock undertone. xD 

[Solarblade]

According to reports from Nana Tamago, Hirose is leader while Fujii is sub-leader

[momoirosaya]

Hirose has been in Nice Girls for longer so that makes sense.

[Shoujo Q]

I can go copy/paste my rant on this topic if anyone is wondering or feeling sorry for Rio. But I think we all know and can understand why Ayaka was chosen. 
 
Personally I'm glad. My two favorites are leader and sub-leader. 

[Banana]

I guess it makes sense, but I don't really like it. Being the only strong singer in the group (as far as I know), Ayaka will most likely get a good amount of attention for her vocals, so I would've preferred that the job of leader was given to someone else who doesn't really have a "role" already. Everybody has to have their own job!!!

[Anderei]

It probably has nothing to do with seniority and more them trying to get her as popular as possible. It's more convenient if your only good singer is well liked too.

[Shoujo Q]

Rio has a role, it's to be the one that's an attention grabber. Like Akari in ANGERME. 

[Noa]

Hey, Natsumi is a good singer!

[callirae]

I'm literally in love with Kobushi Factory.

On today's H!S episode, Kobushi got their member colors


Hirose - Blue (lighter than Nomura's)

Hamaura - Pink

Inoue - Violet

Nomura - Royal Blue

Ogawa - Red

Taguchi - Orange

Fujii - Yellow

Wada - Green

[momoirosaya]

Hirose is turquoise and Fujii is mustard.


I'm glad Rena got red and Tagucchi got orange. Those colors suit them well.

[Noa]

I think I've finally narrowed my favorite member down to either Natsumi, Minami or Ayaka.

Does anyone else think Mininami and Natsumi look like sisters?

[MejraThea]

They do look similar, but even more so Minamina and Riho do. It's in the eyes.

Yes! I'm glad someone else thinks that too! It's also the hair style. I always see Minamina and just think "Riho!!!"
 
 
I liked Wadasaku and Rena in the beginning, but Minamina is winning me over. She suddenly grew so much and got so much better at singing.
I didn't even think Minamina or Renako were cute when they first joined Kenshuusei, but now they're probably my two favorites in this group.
 
Does anyone else think that Renako looks a bit like Kamei Eri?

To me, sometimes yes.

 

[TicTacAnyone]

Atm I definitely prefer Kobushi over Tsubaki, though that may change with time. Interested to see how the company promotes and grows the groups over time. I think the colors suited the members well but I don't really even know the members hahaha... I guess I should say I think the colors all work well together.
