    she's also super active in the community, almost acting like a big sister figure to other idols. you see a lot of other girls thanking her for cheering them on. she seems like a cool girl.

    I never really listened to LinQ, but I like Ryoma Maeda, and he has done a remix, that I really like. I think I have to check out more LinQ:


    ;-)

    And a show on Seiko Ooomori

    I've been watching Gugure! Kokkuri-san recently (which is a hilarious anime and I absolutely recommend it). The OP is catchy as hell so I looked up who made the song... and of course it was Hyadain :))

    The kid is actually dancing with a Wani to Shampoo fan on the OP of the show (and does a kind of Sailor-Moon transformation)


    Also the full song in case you're interested:
    Spoiler:

    So LoGiRL is not only about Kawakami having a show about cars, they also have content of other idols :))

    Including whole Tokyo Girls Style concerts. I've never seen them perform but I loved their album "Killing me Softly" so this is the perfect oportunity to check them out. I love the idea of concerts where the artist perform their albums in order.

    I like TGS. They are like the smooth-jazz (fusion) of idol groups. :))
    I don't know much about their producer(s) but definitely can always tell its a TGS song when you hear it. Their vocal harmonies are pretty sweet too.

    There's a jewelry trade show going on at Tokyo Big Sight. Every year they give out awards that aren't really for anything, but more to get famous people photographed with their stuff.

    Yesterday the Hashimoto girl got the teenager award, which came with over ten pieces in solid gold and diamond. When would a 15 year old wear that?! You can take publicity too far.

    Anyway, if anybody knows an easy way to follow her, do tell, cause I'm terrible at trawling video sites, but interested in how the hype goes.

    Gotta love Kanna's husky voice^^

    I don't know if this is what you're asking but you can see the link to her blog and twitter at the Rev. From DVL page.

    She also has the journalists under control. Girl is good.

    She announces every appearance on her blog (like Momoka used to do), but then finding a TV/radio recording is beyond me.

    I still can't understand why the girl is hyped too much in media. Well I can clearly see she's the one who shines in her group performances, but AKB groups also have bunch of girls with such feminine beauty and charisma (no, I won't compare them with Stardust idol, none of them are bijin, ex members like Akarin, Uno ebichu or Towa takoniji don't count)

    The media attention is probably less about the person than the fans. If there's enough people crazy about her, it pays to feature her. And people may like her simply because she's not from Tokyo.

    But that's why we need more raw material, to understand! Their songs I was fed up with after the preview on iTunes...

    Anyone else here a fan of Negicco? I don't know too much about them, but I really enjoy this video:


    I think the lyrics are hilarious!

    A few month ago I found a few songs by Negicco I liked, but I never followed them really.
    Maybe you find this essay of interest:
