That’s why I posted. The transformation surprised me too. I fell in love with Kiku’s girlishness and playfulness on stage. I often wondered what they were like in the real world. After hanging out for hours watching them @ J-Pop Summit I witnessed another totally different side to them that blew me away. Most did not notice them but since I was watching their every move, at one point I saw them with a very serious business like and total professional face. It shocked me because at that point I realized they were two no nonsense girls. They take what they are doing seriously and are very very professional about it. They impressed me a lot.

Spoiler: show

So ladybaby apparently has a second single that came out this week! It's pretty good

Holy shoot, this is so cool! The girls' voices sound really nice and I like the instrumentals a lot. For me, this has more/better replay value than the first single.

I'm not a hip-hop /rnb fan, but I like these songs.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That JSB song is one of the first that I fell for.

Music Station 1-22-16 - E-girls promoting their first best album

Gomennasai no Kissing You + Follow Me

[Moh]

Naturally, I've started my 2016 albums list. Have five so far.



They played Fight Song non-stop last year so I got tired of it, but the rest of her album is good.
I'm playing a group called Coasts right now and enjoying the heck outta their album, too.

Johnny's flagship idol group SMAP appeared live on their show and seriously apologized to everyone. They will not be disbanded and will stay under Johnny's.

What happened with this anyway? Was it just a rumor floating around or did they settle things with Johnny's? That whole thing confused me and now this just makes it more confusing!

As I understand it, basically everyone but KimuTaku left SMAP/Johnnys, to follow their long-time manager who was being pushed to resign from JE. I think maybe they had hopes of scoring better deals/contracts with their manager at a new company? And they also felt loyal to their manager, because she helped them out a lot in their careers. (KimuTaku is grateful to this former manager too, but stayed with JE because he said he had a lot of things that he is grateful for to Johnny too). Obviously this kind of backfired on the manager who left, and the members that followed her, so SMAP have been in talks with Johnny, and I guess they all decided to come back together under JE. Lots of apologizing was involved, probably lol.
