Up-Front Thread

[Celedam]

^ That new building is nice. Newer construction and a better location in a famous business district. The old building was closer to downtown and surrounded by universities, hospitals, embassies, museums, and so on, but that's not really conducive to business.

That photo of the new building is misleading, however; it shows only the part of the building that faces onto the major street. When you look at the entire building on Google Maps, it's large and sprawling. So even if Up-Front is taking only part of the first floor, that's still a lot.

All in all, it is a step up and should quash any rumors that Up-Front is struggling financially.

All that is left in the old Higashi-Azabu, Minato, Tokyo building (東京都港区東麻布1-28-12) is probably the dance studios.

It wasn't clear from most of the videos we've seen over the years, but they actually have a recording studio in that same suite with the rehearsal and changing rooms. Coming in through the entrance to the suite, the recording studio is on the left, the rehearsal rooms are on the right, and the changing room is straight ahead.

Anyhow, they might have kept the suite but it's hard to be sure since the only recent videos that feature it have been for Hello! Dream and other associated things (e.g., ANGERME new members). Those videos could have been recorded months ago, before the move was finalized.

I hope they have a space like the Cafe where they can film. It was pretty nice.

Hyadain revealed his fantasy Hello! Pro 3-person shuffle unit :
Kudo Yume x Okamura Homare x Matsumoto Wakana

Hyadain wants to write a song for them called "Otou-san no Baka" (お父さんのバカ) and "Mou Joshu Seki Notte Yan'nai!!" (もう助手席乗ってやんない！！)

Hoshibe Sho's fantasy unit is :
Kaga Kaede x Hirai Miyo x Sasaki Rikako

He wants them to be a boyish unit. Wants Sasaki Rikako to cut her hair.

[Moh]

Make both of those happen, UF!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Yes, please, do it UF. I dare you. Hoshibe and I are totally on the same wavelength here, that's literally one of my dream units. Rikako doesn't even need to cut her hair, just slick it back into a low pony and she's good to go.
