AKIHABARA Backstage PASS

Seishun Chronicle MV (short version) on the Warner Music Channel.

Hyadain...meh...

Sounds like half a dozen other idol tracks.
I'll take something by Tsunku or Chiyomura over this anyday.

Not to say Hyadain isn't perfectly competent at times (his Kirarin work is great): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenichi_Ma ... iscography
He just seems so hit or miss.

This also got uploaded (the other A-side: Harinezumi to Jelly Beans).

That's more like it. :thumbs-up:

I actually like both A-sides. :happy:

But I seriously like how the girls actually record together as a group. It sounds way more natural than some of the recent H!P songs.

Same here. Only thing that kinda bugged me was that in Seishun Chronicle, there was that really weird (almost robotic in a sense) solo line, the line before "yami wo terashita (闇を照らした)" and that I can't see who's singing most of the solos unlike most of their previous PVs, but the PV looks nice though.

Watching Baku-on, it's funny realizing these girls just like ran through the streets and were recorded, something I didn't really think about while I was watching the PV of them running lol

Bakusute Soto-Kanda Icchome gave a strong performance, but imagine how amazing it would have been if they could have performed “Produce” will all the members.
It will probably never happen because then Akihabara Backstage Pass would have to be closed during that time.

Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome is a Japanese idol group formed in May 2012. It consists of more than 100 members. The girls also work as maids at AKIHABARA Backstage pass.

3 years have passed since the cafe opened, and finally, the group changed their rules, one of the members unveiled bikini gravure for the very first time in the group’s history.

The girl is Runa Fujii, who just celebrated her 18th birthday this month. You can see her in a bikini on Italy’s super-popular game show, GAMETIME. She appears in the new BIKINI & VIDEOGAMES section of Season 6 and takes on a series of games.

The first broadcast will air on November 8th on ANX Sci-Fi at 12:40 PM! Past episodes will also be airing the same day at 1:10 PM (Japan time: 9:10 PM).

What chemical reactions will we see take place? Let’s wait and see.
