Little Glee Monster new single "ECHO" MV


NHK Theme song for the Rugby World Cup 2019

I want Kobushi Factory to top this with their Yes! We Are Family cheer song

[Moh]

That's a really good song. LGM's releases this year have been solid imo. And here's everyone's friendly reminder that they got to perform with Earth, Wind & Fire once.

Also, I don't know when Sony decided to start slowly removing the region block from their artists' YouTube pages, but I need that trend to continue!
I can keep up with SCANDAL and Aimer again. Now if only they'd do it for Hirai Ken.

Tokimeki♡Sendenbu - Koi no Shape Up♡


This reminded me of a few of H!P's fun songs. Tsunku didn't pen this, but I would love a song in this vein for 15th gen's debut, honestly.

Ichioka Anna's group finally released an MV! Well, sort of. Much like the rest of ONE CHANCE's videos, this is in 2 parts.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That's.. one way to do it, I suppose. I really enjoy how deep Anna's voice is, I hope she gets a bigger part later in the song.

What I imagine Yamazaki Mei hears in her head daily. Panda panda magic, panda panda daisuki.~

(It is an earworm though.)

Ballad group "Flower" has decided to disband after eight years together (poorly handled by LDH btw). One of the members, Nakajima Mio, announced she is leaving the group because she is pregnant and getting married to an FC Machida player. It prompted a discussion about the group's future. The rest of the members have decided to move on their own path. They are still members of E-girls.

Good catch, Goo members, with those former Folder5 girls!! But no love for Hinoi Team's Asuka Hinoi? Or would that be akin to naming Amuro Namie because she was in Super Monkey's?

[rikkikow]

Lots of Happy People in the crowd!


Crowd gets hosed down, nobody is pissed.
