Tokyo Performance Doll

æ±äº¬ãƒ‘フォーマンスドール

 

Tokyo Performance Doll, known as TPD, has been taking a break from their musical career since their concert in 1996. They were known to have a strong personality not only as a girls group but also within the music industry. With its unique musicality and overwhelming performance, TPD continued to make new challenges. This legendary group has produced many talents such as actress Ryoko Shinohara, Yuri Ichii from EAST END×YURI and Yuko Anai. 

After seventeen years, TPD is reuniting on June 2013 with new members selected from 8,800 candidates within Japan. Inheriting the original TPD’s DNAs, their goal is to become a peerless and unique performance group. From August 15th 2013, they will be appearing on “PLAY×LIVE『1×0ã€at the “CBGK SHIBUGEKI!!†theater in Shibuya for a year. This show is an integration of projection mapping, singing and dance performance. 

On June 11th 2014, TPD is planned to make its debut with the song “BRAND NEW STORY†which was selected as an opening theme song for the popular TV animation “Kindaichi Case Files Râ€. Furthermore, they will be touring alone in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka for their first time with “Tokyo Performance Doll Live Tour 2014 Summer 〜DANCE SUMMIT"1×0"ver1.0〜†tour. The new TPD is composed of nine members, and their average age is sixteen. From Shibuya, they are ready to rock Japan and spread out to the world.

Nice thread,

 

I uploaded their performance on Tokyo Idol Festival 2014

 

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x22vehm_tif2014-tpd-smile_music

 

It impresses me, they used to just lipsync and it kinda surprised me that they perform live on TIF

[eyeless]

Also their performance on TBC Natsu Matsuri

Thanks for the videos eyeless!  Their live singing has gotten so good over the course of this year, pretty soon they'll be pros if they keep up the pace!

 

Some more songs of theirs:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BDslDu70LM

 

Yume wo, DREAMIN', and WEEKEND PARADISE!!.  DREAMIN' is an original of theirs that I'm hoping will get a release soon, while the other two are covers of the original TPD's songs.

Ochame na Juliet, a cover of Ichii Yuri's song.

Senya Ichiya, a cover of Harajuku Jenne's song.

Juudai ni Tsumi wa nai, a cover of the original TPD's song.

Tokyo Hacker's Night Groove, a cover of the Fire Doll's song.

 

I honestly love all their songs, there isn't a single one I've heard that I don't like.  My favorites are probably Yume wo, DREAMIN', and WEEKEND PARADISE!! 

 

All of these songs are part of their stage performance, PLAYxLIVE "1x0".  There are more clips and performances on their official Youtube, but unfortunately its Japan only.  Which is weird, because they have English info on their website, and Nana speaks English pretty fluently.

Full performance from ACGHK!  They don't stop moving and singing for nearly an entire half hour, its crazy impressive.

I'm really loving the song    Very much their style.  I wish the outfits weren't so similar to BRAND NEW STORY's though.
