The Official Happiness Thread

[Stargazer1]

I don't mind the members addition (since it indicates activities coming up) but please DON'T LET MAYU GO T__T

That's my concern when I saw they added 2 new members unless Happiness becomes an 8th member group.

:sad:

 

 

Ruri can sing so it sounds like she can replace Mayu ................

[Danseryu]

^

That crossed my mind too ;_;, Ruri would replace MAYU and Suda Anna replaces MIMU's position D:.

 

I think the better decision would've been to add them to bunny, you'll have the duo Anna combo and a vocal to go with Yuzuna.

I hope that Happiness just becomes 8 member group. I wouldn't mind if Ruri  to do the vocals along with Mayu and Karen. Just not my Mayu leave!

 I agree.

It would be more logical to add another member and make it a 9 member group like FLOWER

I want to keep an eye on LDH mobile for any news but I really need to go to bed right now ><

Kawamoto Ruri and Suda Anna join Happiness

The sister group of EXILE that was composed of 6 members has added two new members from E-Girls mega-unit: Kawamoto Ruri and Suda Anna. Happiness was created on 2008 as a dance unit, on 2009 they added 2 new members and had their major debut on February of 2011 with the single Kiss Me (The Happy Talk song with only 6 members was their indie debut) , on October last year it was confirmed the official departure of member MIMU who’d been on hiatus due to her school duties.

Kawamoto can also sing and Suda is also developing a career as an actress starring in the Nihon Terebi drama: å¿ƒç™‚中―ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ï¼²ï½ï½ï½â€• (Shinryou chuu In The Room).

 

 

Suda’s first time joining E-Girls was for the single One Two Three covering one of the spots that MIMU (Happiness) and Sayaka (Dream) had left on E-Girls after their label debut (the group had started activties before with one more member: Kana Tachibana from Dream).

 

 

Kawamoto appeared in E-Girls for the first time with the single The Never Ending Story, probably covering up the spot that some of BUNNY members had left after they withdrawn from the pre-debuted group that’s already a part of E-Girls.

I don't know how I feel about this. I'm happy but at the same time it will take time to get adjust of this new change with Happiness. 

 

hmmmmm i don't think i'll mind that much....BUT MAYU BETTER NOT BE GOING ANYWHERE T_T

[Krunchii]

DON'T LET MAYU GO PLEASE /hystericalsobbing

 

she is my second fav vocalist to Shizuka, I hope this means a comeback soon (but with Mayu of course)

[straycat]

I'm still not over Love. LDH better not do anything stupid or I'm so done with them 
I can't go to bed like this T.T

[Sotsugyou]

Oooh damn....

 

My Yurino is safe so I'm happy but adding members and the possibility of one leaving?

 

[Stargazer1]

It would be more logical to add another member and make it a 9 member group like FLOWER

I want to keep an eye on LDH mobile for any news but I really need to go to bed right now ><

Yeah, it would be. I don't know what LDH is thinking. Well, I knew that sooner or later a new member was going to be added to replace Mimu but 2 members being added is surprising. 

 

hmmmmm i don't think i'll mind that much....BUT MAYU BETTER NOT BE GOING ANYWHERE T_T

She better not or I will be raging. She is my fav so please Mayu don't leave. It feels like gazillion years since I seen her performed together with Happiness.

[KQI88]

Ok, can't lurk anymore. I'm all up for it having new, and beautiful girls, but no one has to leave! Mayu is so good at Happiness.

 

I'm still not over Love. LDH better not do anything stupid or I'm so done with them  I can't go to bed like this T.T

Also I'm a newbie with LDH family so what happened with Love?

They disbanded the end of last year. 

[KQI88]

They disbanded the end of last year.

 

What?! Well...I can't say I'm actually surprised since they did not promote that much. Did they leave the company too?

[adintake]

I saw someone talking about this on 2ch a while ago, and I thought, well that's possible. Which was why I asked about Kawamoto in the E-girls thread.

As a relatively new fan of Happiness, I don't know how this will affect the dynamics of the group. I think Suda Anna will be a good addition to replace Mimu. 

 

Kawamoto however, is a much more sexy type of girl. I've never seen her perform and she's also very shy. But hey, if she's talented, then why not? We'll see how it pans out. I hope, really really hope, Mayu's still in.

[Danseryu]

Yeah, I feel that way about Ruri too. She doesn't appeal the same way due to her "nature" (all those descriptions via the catchphrase.)

 

BUT!

 

E-girls fam website confirmed, starting in the 2nd Season Happiness will be an 8 member group!

Ruri will try her best and bring a smile to our faces

 

Sudanna has been wanting to debut with Happiness and now can do so. She hopes she can deliver Happiness to us.

 

KAEDE posted the 8 member Happiness photo!

 

I see MAYU

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

What if, somewhat off-topic, Dream's announcement is the addition of members (say Ikuta Risa?) O_O

[Miiko]

^ MAAAAAAAAAAAAAYU~ (; v ;)

 

I'm very happy to see with the girls

 

and, I approve of the new Happiness <333

[Krunchii]

Yes! 8 member group without Mayu leaving, I can't wait to hear new releases from them

 

and I hope Dream doesn't add new members, I like their current group dynamic and adding a younger member who hasn't been around as long kinda throws that off for me

[Momocchika]

OMG!   all of them together in that pic!!!

So far the new girls are very likely to be good additions.  Can't wait to see Happiness as an 8 member group in their next release 

[s_leonhart]

the more the merrier. i'm liking the new line up already

[Coffeeeee]

OK ok so I just woke up the first thing that I read was happiness having 2 new members so I was like yay!  
but then you guys all started talking about Mayu leaving happiness so I was like    :sad:

but now they're all together as a new and improved 8 member group so I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!     

[adintake]

Yeah, I feel that way about Ruri too. She doesn't appeal the same way due to her "nature" (all those descriptions via the catchphrase.)

Haha yeah, they called her a female leopard and exotic animal or something lol.

Thanks for the update.

 

Ruri has strong vocals based on what I can hear in Loving Bell, I feel like she might get to sing the verses with Mayu, and Karen gets whatever is left. Probably.

 

And...Kaede's post in the spoilers. I think I got it mostly right.

 

 

 

Happiness. KAEDE

 

Everyone.

Good morning.

 

I think most of you have seen the news and read it on the newspapers,

The announcement that

Kawamoto Ruri as vocalist

Suda Anna as performer

Will be joining Happiness!!

 

I think there are some of you who are puzzled by this sudden announcement

 

But, we do want new members to join,

In fact, there are many of us working together at the studio for the performance of the new song

The members and staff have had many, many discussions and

We believe that the addition of Ruri and Anna will boost our performance

So the addition of these two members was decided.

 

Ruri is amazing at singing, she’s funny and a bit of an airhead.

When she joined E-girls, as she wasn’t a strong dancer, she did her best in Never Ending Story etc. and she practiced more than any of the others.

She worked hard and never complained.

 

Then, she appeared in Candy Smile’s school uniform dance. She’s really doing her best with dancing and singing.

 

Anna is the type who is considerate, a fun and interesting girl who can lift your spirits up.

Her performance level is high, and she’s also mentally strong.

 

When she was busy with E-girls,

She doesn’t complain even though she’s burdened with practice and activities as an actress

She’s always smiling despite all that.

 

We thought,

If it’s these two members, it will be fine! and

We want to do it together!

 

I understand that there will be a range of opinions,

But we’ll never let you down, we’ll do our best to perform for you all.

Therefore, I hope you will approve our 8 member Happiness.

 

I understand that many will have mixed feelings about this, but

by doing our best to work with each other!

We want you to think

"Let's support them even if they're 8 members now"

"Their performance level gets a power-up!!"

 

The number of members has changed but Happiness’s original feelings remain the same.

 

We want to send you happiness, we want to make you smile…

 

Absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely

Wait a little while until we can give you a wonderful performance!!

 

8-member Happiness, will be under your care!!!!!!!!

I'm very excited for 8-nin Happiness! :DD

I see MAYU

 

That's a relief. I couldn't sleep well last night thinking about the whole thing :* MAYU-chan <3

LDH doing the unpredictable again and make Happiness an 8-member group. As much as I'm happy no one's leaving they always give me mini heart attacks -.-

I was reading through Twitter before going to sleep and most fans were just wondering about MAYU's future in the group. Glad to see many people support her.

 

Haha yeah, they called her a female leopard and exotic animal or something lol.

LDH mobile added Anna and Ruri in Happiness' profile. They are listed as SUDA and KAWAMOTO though 

 

 

It's the least of my worries but it's weird and out of place. Hope they change it later

[Okamoo]

LDH mobile added Anna and Ruri in Happiness' profile. They are listed as SUDA and KAWAMOTO though
