I might be alone with this but I hate how people hate on Sawabe Tsubaki (Shigatsu wa kimi no uso). She's still in middle school and was totally clueless about love because of her nature personality traits. I think she's a great character. In fact, she's my favourite character and the reason why I kept reading the manga and watching the anime. She comes off as selfish and not supportive because she wants Kousei all for herself but that because she has been friends with him for so long so when he told him that he would be studying in music school far away from the town of course she can't suddenly accept it. She was always sad whenever he played piano and felt like he was taken away from her but she never did once complain and kept supporting him. Plus, she threw tantrum about him being there or not when she was idk 5/6 years old? kids can't even complain about her friend not playing with her? so, kids at that age should be mature already? when a lot of people way older than her can't even be mature too these days. She didn't make him stop playing the piano with Kaori or even hating on Kaori. She did none of those. She's definitely not perfect, not always kind, not always understanding, and she is stubborn but she doesn't deserve all the hate she gets. She's just a 14 years old girl but everyone acts as if she commits a big crime when I think it's just her being a human.

Well, I don't know exactly what the rule is or how it works but I don't think it's unfair. I think it's possible for one of the other three groups to also be invited to Kouhaku. It just depends on whether their song makes a great impact or not. If, one of the three groups release a song that becomes popular in Japan like topping the chart for weeks just like RADWIMPS this year, then it's definitely possible imo.

oh wow xD i didn't know that chinen is friends with reina! ^_^ Actually watching Mayuyu in utage, I kind of know that she likes flower/e-girls judging from her expression whenever she was watching their performance xD thank you for sharing these info! Yesss, the three of them are so good looking! blessed their genes! Well, welcome to the fandom and I'm glad that you managed to find them and like another groups too!

what did they say about Flower? hahaha Karen and Shuuka are also Johnny's west Fujii Ryusei's younger sisters xD

Welcome! Princess Fujii Shuuka is ready to shook everyone, we all must be prepared at all time really? do you have the link where Chine and Mayuyu mentioned flower? I understand your problem. It's really hard to pick fave member in e-girls because all of them are gorgeous, talented, amazing and just lovely yes, I'm actually happy with how much has grown e-girls fandom is. A lot of people start noticing the girls and realise how talented they are and us, as international fans can help people who want to know more about e-girls and you also help the fandom by sharing the mobile pics blessing us with their gorgeous selfies and pictures We're practically doing something that LDH can't even do which is promoting and helping people knowing e-girls by sharing info about them.

thank you for sharing them! and I don't mind whether you want to still openly share them or create a livejournal account or even stop posting them. I understand the reason why LDH made such a rule because the mobile blog is paid and there's a reason why it is paid. So, they kind of have the copyright for the content in it and it's unfair for people who pay for it (some japanese/international fans might report this situation to LDH hence why LDH puts up the notice now). Plus, they will lose money if people keep posting the content outside of the blog. I do know that there might be people who are mad with fans who share the blog pics online because they find it unfair since they paid for it and some people get it for free. Personally, I don't mind people sharing mobile blogs picture even though I also paid for it because some people don't have the chance to subscribe to their mobile blog due to their own circumstances. This is such a never ending problem. I have encountered fandom who fought because of this sharing issue too. /sigh/

yeah you can follow egirlsnet.tumblr.com. I reblog my magazines scans on there so you can check them out for updates BTW, LDH just put a notice that they won't allow people to re-post/re-upload their artists picture (mobile blogs, live picture, & backstage) on any media platform. They will take a legal action if people are caught doing so. Click here to view the Tweet well, some artists particularly the boys post exactly the same pictures on their mobile and their public sns account so

I uploaded all of the monthly magazines (Cancam, JJ, and Ray) on my tumblr account. Here's for harumi: http://banira-san.tumblr.com/tagged/sato_harumi

I knew Flower first because they were on Music fair together with AAA that time and their song was so good (Nettaigyo no namida) and they were so pretty. After that, I found info about them and began checking them including e-girls and I fell in love because of Rydeen too I need another sexy E-girls tbh. They have been doing cool concept so next year that most members except the 98-line trio are legal maybe they will do sexy and powerful concept again.

Main singles: Rydeen Dance All Night, Dance with me now, Candy Smile, High School love and Mr. Snowman. B-sides: Suki desuka?, Shukkousa! ~Sail out for someone~ , Music flyer, Cowboy Rhapsody, Bad girls, Party sun, Sayonara, and Mirai e. Their most popular songs: Follow me, and Gomenasai no Kissing you.

my guess is that LDH is trying to really push Shuuka, Kaede, Karen and Harumi as their model-line and whenever there's something fashion/make up related, the four of them would be the representative because they also happen to be four of the most popular members so just like the usual ldh's business tactic, they want to earn the revenue using the most popular members. Plus, it can create marketing noise so people will recognise them more. I'm pretty sure LDH is big enough and have a lot of influence in the industry already so if they want, they can make Nozomi and Nonoka to be regular models as well. But, maybe they think it would be too many members if both of them also become regular models. I really wish Nozomi and Nonoka to model again though . They're gorgeous (heck all e-girls members are beautiful and I want LDH to push all of them and give them equal attention and project ). Truthfully, I was pretty surprised that Suda Anna and Nozomi got to be on the beats CM instead of Ami and Kaede but it was a good kind of surprise.

Just realised that I mixed them up when I re-read my answer! lmao Thank you for reminding me!

Kaede is the regular model so appearance from the other members may be because of her. Usually if she gets to be on the cover, she gets to be interviewed and perhaps this time her members showed up to say something about her Last time when she got to be on the cover for the first time some members had a few words about her even though they didn't get to be on the magazine (exile's hiro and tetsuya had a few words to say too). Sometimes E-girls members get to be on CanCam to promote their single/album like last month, Happiness had a few pages to promote their album. Generations got to be on CanCam this month to promote their latest single "Pierrot". Shuuka and Karen are the regular models for JJ magazine while Harumi is for Ray magazine. Nozomi used to be Seventeen's regular model^^ And yes, CanCam is a popular fashion magazine. Today (23rd November) is their 35th Anniversary (they published their first issue on 23rd November 1981) and Kaede got to be on the cover! JJ and Ray are popular fashion magazine too^^

I guess it refers to the next line, so the only thing they want is for the other person to hug them tightly before "they turn into sea foam". I feel like turning into a sea foam means they're not going to see each other anymore since become sea foam is kind of like they're disappeared, become together with the sea. So, before the goodbye they want the other person to hold them tightly even though it hurts just like the lyrics said "It seems that I want to feel the pain". The original lyrics says "ã›ã‚ã¦ã²ã¨ã¤ã ã‘　真実欲ã—ã„ã®", if we translate it right based on the sentence, it means "At least I want one truth/a reality". Well, Japanese can be translated into different ways to fit the context or the flow and sometimes the real meaning of a sentence gets lost in translation because there's just no right word to describe them but if I think about it, it means the same. Since, the love is fruitless, being together with the other person is impossible because the other person doesn't love them so they want the "reality", the only thing that is possible or like the translation says "one thing truly" which is the next lyrics, to be hold. I don't know whether I'm correct or not but that's how I interpret it ^^

Already read and watched Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. It was sad but tsubaki made me loved the manga and anime even more thank you for the recommendation will try this! thank you for the recommendation

ugh i'm going to Japan and smack ldh if they're going to add Follow me and GNKY again. My guess is EG Anthem 2017version, and Rydeen Dance All night 2017version since there are no more Erie, Kyoka, and Chiharu. I want Ruri to replace Erie's part in Rydeen Dance All night Also, I'm sure they're going to put remixes as well. Might be from PKCZ or even Afrojack I guess they're rushing everything because they will hold a concert around late February/Early March like this year? So, they want to perform the new songs in their concert so we can finally be free from Follow me and GNKY. Well, if it's dome tours then we won't be free from Follow me and GNKY I'm pretty disappointed that they're going to put the B-sides from their past singles in the new album (but then again this is helpful for new fan so they can opt to buy their album that has everything from their past singles) but then again that's how it works in Jpop, I guess? I also didn't feel right when I read the report that they made mistake during their first day of the tour though I do understand the reason why. Reina had to memorise all of the lyrics by herself after these past 5 years she divided the parts with other vocalists. They only had a month to prepare for the concert and I think E-girls had like almost 3 months to prepare for the concert, hadn't they? Well, even though I guess they have longer time to prepare because their venue is bigger and they have more members. I don't know how long a group should have to prepare for their concert but with Shuuka had to attend schedules for Shuukaren unit and also Shuuka and Harumi had to attend schedules as a model for magazines and CFs, that might give them less time to prepare. Wow, No wonder Karen barely kept her vocal performance. She had to perform as Shuukaren unit vocalist, Happiness vocalist and E-girls vocalist too. And three groups are promoting back to back. Hope she takes care of her throat so she won't get sick especially it's getting super cold too in Japan Today we will get another GGLG performance so hopefully this one is better than the last time

mte. I would love to see yeeun on WGM and see her being qt

Uhm, that's what I said. True for Dream as a group. Since you mentioned Dream Ami was stuffed in a corner, I had to say it's not true because she got quite few projects this year. She's even a radio DJ too. The other members got several projects/works to do too.

well, it's true for dream as a group since they don't release any single this year except that photobook essay. But, didn't Ami release two singles this year? She managed to perform on Music station. She also had release event in multiple cities for her latest single. She's currently an MC for a music programme. Ami and Aya are technically fixed guest for utage (a music programme that hosted by smap's nakai masahiro even though right now the programme only broadcasted at certain dates). Shizuka is pretty much busy with DEP and erie with her DJ gigs so I wouldn't say that they're stuffed in a corner.

ah, true. I guess because just like what you said, ldh doesn't trust e-girls enough to release a concert video or album without one being tied to the other. Perhaps due to e-girls doesn't exactly have hardcore fans who would buy anything from them like the boys or johnny's or 48/46 groups. They don't think e-girls would reach the amount of copies they want it to be when I think, they could tbh. E-girls is rising these days. The singles that are released this year sold more than 65k copies this year. Well, true as a big group not only dream alone or flower alone or happiness alone, it might not be enough for them like, they're big groups, they should have sold more than what flower alone can achieve. That's the thing. e-girls doesn't have enough hardcore fans to bulk buying their singles/albums because most of their fans are teens and I guess they're opt to download the album on itunes/line music. Plus, even though they do have fanboys, their fans are mostly girls. As what it was shown on their zip footage, they have a lot of fangirls. The fangirls definitely secure the longevity for them as a group but definitely not the album sales like 48/46 groups. That's what happened to me too tbh. I would rather download the songs on itunes jp than buying the single because I don't listen the song from the cd and the full pv is often released online too and downloading them from online music portal is much simpler and easier. I tend to buy album because they have the live concert and I guess that's what ldh has been thinking. (I would love to buy their physical singles but I just can't buy same things twice unless they have something like making footage, mc footage, concert footage etc ) The girls managed to attract a lot of people to come and watch their concerts but imo buying album and watching a concert is different. I had watched quite a lot concerts of groups that I rarely bought their physical album. I watched because I listened to some of their songs and liked them plus I also wanted to see them irl. But, if I don't like their new releases, I wouldn't bother purchasing their singles not even on itunes. I guess that's how it is for e-girls too. E-girls can't even perform without "follow me", "gommenasai no kissing you" etc which sucks because I think they're much more than that and they deserve so much than that. Sometimes, I want ldh to promote e-girls more on TV so people can know them like 48/46 groups but then people would say that they shouldn't do it because they aren't ~idols~ and the thing is aside from ami and aya, they don't know how to entertain people and make jokes. E-girls are type of group who is funny when they're only around the members if they're on tv programme with other people they become stiff and don't know what to do (even though it's cute to me but to some people it can be annoying like you're paid to be on tv why you didn't entertain me ) I respect ami tbh. even though she's everywhere and she gets to release a solo album and always be the centre and I sometimes gets tired of her but she sacrifices a lot so e-girls can get known so yeah, still applaud her for that. lmao idek what I'm talking about rn. tl;dr just like what other people in this thread has said. ldh needs to step up with the quality they have given to e-girls. they at least should try with their single cover, stop recycling things (the eg something needs to stop) and just give e-girls a chance I know entertainment business isn't a charity and a pity party but still

Hey everyone~ I need manga recommendation where the story has a sad ending~ I know, it's weird that I ask for a sad ending because happy ending is always better (I asked someone before and they legit told me sad ending manga isn't good to recommend. manga should always has happy ending.) Personally, I think sad ending doesn't always mean bad. even though the characters break up, if they've been struggling a lot with their relationship and they just don't fit with each other wouldn't it mean they're finally free from it? I've encountered a lot of mangas where the relationship is certainly toxic and the male character/female character is just horrible but for the sake of lead characters end up together and ~be happy~ the mangaka makes them together. Anyway, does anyone of you know manga where the characters break up in the end, give up with the relationship, rejected etc? Thank you~

oooh, i didn't know that there would be 24 songs~ I did know that there would be 4 new songs though. What are the other songs? Hence why I asked why their past songs like anniversary, merry merry xmas, dwmw, and dance dance dance will be in the new album when it's already on their best album. though one is different than the other but still, it's an album. but, i guess it's better than them releasing album and concert tour separately like what they usually do with the boys because it means we will have to pay more. good luck to all of the boys' fans tbh. sometimes, I shake my head in disbelief whenever i see the price of 24k stuffs. dang expensive.

the members who are given more projects are usually the popular members just like in other groups normally even though the other girls are equally beautiful and talented imo . Well, not sure whether he has favorite members in e-girls because he likes the boys more~

even though kihyun and minyuk were the reason why I looked for their videos, info etc etc changkyun has officially stolen my heart. he's so weird and such a brat lmao what a qt pie but even so, everyone somehow manages to kill me with their cuteness these days I like hyungwon too he's so good looking idek.

omg thank you so much!!! it doesn't make any difference whether it's raw or subbed^^ cause i just want to see kihyun and minhyuk being qties in the full version /sobs/ (and i slightly understand what they're talking about) they were so cute and I was pretty bummed that the segment was ended (cause they changed the dj) randomly found the sukira video and that was the beginning of me looking for all monsta x's videos as much as possible. they're so cute
