Can't believe this thread didn't exist already! They are definitely one of my favorite groups in terms of music.

[Mich_]

great there's a thread for them now! :D i really like Miyu^^

[Timmeon]

My fave are Hitomi and Mei. Cute little girls. Their PVs, most of the times, are awesome.

I personally favour Ayano but yes Hitomi and Mei are quite cute.

 

I got into them after watching the PV for Kodou no Himitsu. The song didn't spoke to me that much at first but the video and its concept of the relationship between fans and idols and the area of conflict between fake image vs. reality is just genius.

 

 

[blank_stare]

Yes, me too. I love that PV. I also love their Sayonara, Arigatou both PV and the song. I haven't gotten into their music lately though.

[eyeless]

I'm a big Arai Hitomi fan. I also love Kodou no Himitsu, but the one that hook me up with them is Liar

 

 

 

Their Budokkan concert is one of the best idol concert ever

 

 

 

If you follow Joshiryu close enough, you'll aware that Ayano's vocal is in trouble right now. I think it's part of growing up process but it does affect Joshiryu's performance quality. I hope she'll overcome this problem soon.

are these their latest pics? They don't really look kawaii as they used to. Only Hitomi Arai is kawaii

[KayKay]

I just watched some of their videos, their music is really good!

[eyeless]

Yeah, that's the latest pictures. And because Hiichan is the most kawaii idol ^^;

Yeah, I noticed that with Aachan's voice. I hope she has a vocal coach who helps her through this phase and she can adjust her voice accordingly. 

I linked to your 20 min video of Budokan in the start post. Maybe I should make it more prominent. More people should know that they can sing and dance live damn well.

Those pictures aren't the best, tbh. You'll notice that all members except for Hitomi look rather serious. Watch them in motion and the kawaii meter is off the charts.

 

 

Hiichan + secured car door = ?

 

[Timmeon]

The first short version PVs of the individuell Maltine Girls Wave songs are out.

 

The director of Ayano's video managed to cram every (provocative) clichee into it he could find. The shot with Aaachan holding that fake looking MG killed me!

 

 

The director of Miyu's video obviously took some consciousness enhancing drug before he came up with that concept.

 

 

And...I don't even know what's going on in this one. OMG, the sheep!

Joshiryu's new single, Jujika, Royal mirrorball remix

 

 

 

From earlier today ustream live

Edited April 6, 2014 by eyeless

[eyeless]

I watched the whole show on ustream, this tour concept is royal mirrorball discotheque, songs were performed in medley, so practically they sang around 20+ songs non stop.

 

Ayano still has trouble with her voice, it seems after around 10 songs she can't hit high note anymore, and for most of the songs Yuri took her solo part. I think it's because her voice become lower to bariton. In Jujika, she sang her solo line in her comfort area so she sounded great.

 

Hitomi, keeps being inhuman idol, she didn't miss even a single note in whole concert.

 

I really like Jujika, it sound even better in original version. 

[eyeless]

"Killing Me Softly" is coded TGS00, which means it's created before TGS01 Kirari. It's the unreleased song.

I like it. I once again have to applaud their choreographer for those on spot dance moves. And the girls of course for executing them.

 

But...someone (probably *cough*Ayano*cough*) in that video didn't hit her notes properly. :( Poor Aachan, growing up can be gruel.

Yes, some of the girls didn't hit the right notes on choruses. It might be Ayano or Miyu or Mei or Yuri, but definitely not Hitomi :P

Hitomi is kinda scary in this respect. Luckily I saw her weak points in variety and backstage otherwise I would be conviced Avex cloned her as a genetically advanced super-idol.  

 

And everytime I watch a performance there is inevitably this moment in a close-up shot, where she has this big smile on her face and that fierce look in her eyes, that my mind has a brief meltdown because it can't compute that she's only 15!

Do you understand what I'm rambling about?
