I'm excited for this!! I am definitely getting one of the DIY/Green Fields versions! I'm so happy Aika is in Green Fields. And with Captain! This is just great! I don't know that Yuka girl though since I didn't follow S:mileage auditions. But this is great. Really.
I've never been interested enough in Berryz to listen to the individual girls really sing. All I know is that Berryz is basically Miyabi-Risako-Momoko. I think I've only ever seen Captain rap so I just assumed she couldn't really sing.
And if Aika sings like she did in Aisares sugiru koto wa nai no... We'll be completely fine. But if she tries to get cutesy (to be fair Aika can pull cutesy off half the time)
She's pleasant enough. The thing that worries me is that they're obviously not getting a dance oriented song because of Aika so their song will heavily depend on vocals. This can either go acceptably decently or really bad.
Also, will Green Fields and Harvest be performing at the Winter Concerts? They have to be, right?
We just didn't know which office/branch would be handling her. In the conversation about UFA's name change we found out. She will be managed by UFP, the new name for UFA. http://www.ufg.co.jp/a_01.html
Looking back at that audition I wonder if UF held it with the SATOYAMA movement in mind. The theme seems to centre around the environment.
i wonder why i don't remember that at all. i definitely remember her name being brought up again after the auditions, but i don't remember it being related to UF at all. thanks for the links/info~
