SKE48 Just Miss 500,000 In First Week Sales

SKE48`S single “Kataomoi Finally” sold 496,000 copies in its first week .This is the first time that the group has passed the 400,000 mark in sales.
The results also makes the single the highest selling AKB48 sister unit single.

Michelle Phan...She's So Inspiring

I have to admit..I've been slacking..have lost passions in what I love most..Blogging! I have stayed away from my computer for quite a while. I have many pending posts...many pictures that need to be uploaded. *sigh* I just need to find some times to do all that. And you know, I haven't browsed YouTube for months, and when I did today, I saw this video by Michelle Phan....

I think she's amazing and so inspiring... and she's really good at what she's doing! No wonder she's the number one Beauty Guru on YouTube. I know some of you probably have heard about her already or have watched her videos, but for the fist time I find myself browsing old videos of her on YouTube! ha! ha! Well, I'd better start working on my lenses, new hair color, makeup posts now. TTYL Bloggers!

Nogizaka46 Guru Guru Curtain PV

Nogizaka46 debut single was broadcast on their weekly TV show earlier .The single is titled “Guru Guru Curtain” and the video features shots of the girls in a classroom and dance performance or what little dance it is. For a group that was labeled as the rival to AKB48 ,i`d expect a more here we are ,were going to beat you type song ,this feels more like the Possible vs. Morning Musume ,just another group that can be built up and then one day when AKB48 ends their replacement is already established.

For all the talk about rivals, Nogizaka46 is starting to look like the cousins of AKB48.

Hirajima Natsumi & Yonezawa Rumi Leave AKB48

Oh boy, were to begin and how much should I say would best describe this post.

Hirajima Natsumi & Yonezawa Rumi are leaving AKB48 effective immediately, for idol contract rules violations.  Basically it comes down to this, wotas discovered that Yonezawa had a private twitter account and another site, where she talked about dating, friends with benefits relationships, co-ed sleepover photos. This resulted in the discovery of Hirajima having a private twitter account and more photos with Natsumi being involved with a boy.

This resulted in 24 hrs. of hate messages, posted anonymous threats to all the 48 groups, their places of work for being “unfaithful” idols. As a result both Hirajima Natsumi & Yonezawa Rumi have givin their resignations.

Natsumi sent out an official announcement, apologizing to fans for causing everyone trouble.
Natsumi went on to tell the fans, staff and everyone involved with AKB48 that she is truly sorry and hopes to one day receive the support of the fans again.

  Yonezawa Rumi like Natsumi also gave a resignation release and like Natsumi, Rumi also apologized for causing trouble.

Being an idol and not doing anything to damage your image is a standard rule .What we see on TV or on stage is not often what really is. Onyanko Club members have in their post idol careers admitted that in their time as a group the members had boyfriends and generally it was a matter of not getting caught by media and fans. It is times like these when you can`t help but to think is your favorite idol next.

Origami and Structure

Source: http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-lily.html

From looking into Japanese culture for inspiration. I decided to look further into Origami. I love the way you can have a flat piece of paper and manipulate it into something 3D. And that’s exactly the same with fashion.

Dress by Thierry Mugler.

I suppose that the one thing I find most fascinating about fashion design. With a little bit of creativity you can do anything.

Houkago Princess: Dress Up

When I first wrote about Houkago Princess, I mentioned that they are idols that you can dress up.

Houkago Princess: White Base

Houkago Princess a group from Ikebukuro ,Tokyo that we have written about in the past ,has this small ,tiny in fact theater in Ikebukuro called White Base .Recently a live concert/graduation was filmed at this theater .HouPri is a good up and coming group .

Their vocals are a little higher pitched then other groups ,but it blends well.
At the end of part two and into part three the group plays some games and in the final part is the member graduation and an outside look at White Base.
If you are wondering who the leader is it`s Nana [center row 1 photo], who is older than her tiny self and voice seems.

Pure Idol Heart`s New Message Board
http://z13.invisionfree.com/Pure_Idol_Heart/index.php?act=idx

Message board Open for Registering And Use

I wanted to tell everyone that the Pure Idol Heart Message Board is now open for registering and use.
I still need to select a different back ground skin , however everything else is ready to go. I tried to take into consideration all your feedback .

We have set the message board up with several categories ,with groups that fit that category .
The forums have a main news site to talk about releases ,tours ,TV, and so-on and a member’s forum. We have left the members blank for every group on the board. The reason is we feel it is better that you the members show your support for your idol and start her support page .Only one support page per idol should be made , so first to make it ,starts that idols support thread.

I want to mention two of the forums Idol Village and Idol Underground . In Idol village if I have left off a better known idol group or soloist that is not a part of H!P or the 48`s just leave a note here and we will see to it.
Idol Underground –This is for Indie and lesser known idols . There are no preset groups here , just simply start a group thread .

Anyway we still need select a new back ground ,theme ,however you are welcome to register and start using the forums. We can adjust things if needed.

You can find the message board here

Nogizaka46 Guru Guru Curtain

The other night near the end of their weekly TV show Nogizaka46 performed their debut single “Guru Guru
Curtain”. “Guru Guru Curtain” is the campaign song for “Meiji Tezukuri Chocolate”.
As to this rivalry with AKB48, Nogizaka46 performed at the AKB48 Best 100 event the other night .I don`t really see them as rivals at all, just another group. Comparable to the Possible and Morning Musume from Tsunku.

Baby Blossom

Baby Blossom is an 18 member band created from AKB48 members .The core of the band is Maeda Atsuko (Guitar), Oshima Yuko (Bass), Takahashi Minami (Guitar), Kashiwagi Yuki (Drums), Kojima Haruna (Keyboards), and Watanabe Mayu (Keyboards).
The remaining Senbatsu members make up horn, percussion and backing vocals.

Baby Blossom was created for the single “GIVE ME FIVE” and spent the past five months rehearsing.
They are not all that bad, not ready open up for BABY METAL [Sorry I couldn`t resist that joke].

Seriously this is a fun little group they have put together for their next single. The girls worked very hard and I tip my hat to them as it`s a good job for five months training.

Message board Update

Message board Update

After reading the comments and many thanks to everyone who took the time to respond and share their feelings, I have made a decision.
Pure Idol Heart is going to add  a message board to go along with the blog .I got an idea of which service I want to use.

Now I want to make sure that we set it up to the way readers and members feel comfortable with, so here is your chance to throw out ideas for categories.
Now because the writing staff of PIH is small and we need more writers, it may be hard for the staff to be message board moderators as well, so if you have experience being a message board moderator and would like to join the staff as part of the message board management team, please let me know.

Message Board?

Hello, readers!
This is not a post about idol or jpop news, but is still very important.

What do you guys feel about adding a message board to PIH?

I know that a lot of you, me included, probably post in forums to discuss idol and jpop news.
There are many forums out there like Studio48, where 48 family topics are discussed, and Hello! Online where people can discuss H!P related topics.

Unlike those  sites, however, which stick to one fandom or group, The PIH message boards won't be focused on one specific type of group, genre, or fandom. The message boards would be a place to discuss every type of Japanese music. From idol groups, to jrock, to indie groups, even kpop, and everything in between.

My question to you readers: Do you think PIH should add a message board? Would you go on and participate?

What would you like to see on the message boards that other message boards may be lacking?

Please comment!
The whole structure and designing of the message boards is in the hands of all of the readers!

NMB48 Junjou U-19 PV

When I first showed you the preview I said that this maybe their best video to date and I was right .There are two versions a song version and a full ten minute movie/pv version.

The basic theme is the girls find themselves going from school to a circus themed fantasy world.

There is a lot to take in with both versions but it is greatly done. I don`t want to put my foot in my mouth and say that no idol group will top this video as the 48`s are on their A game and the newest rivals to AKB48, Nogizaka46 are going to have a PV that I saw a preview for, for the AKB48 cover song.
Going into today this is going to be a hard video to beat this year from a creative standpoint. The video and song, just makes you want to order the CD right away. Very strong start to 2012 by NMB48

The video has a short shelf life on YouTube so here are alternative sites. You should make the time to watch both versions.

The short version minus the movie lead in.

Himekyun Fruit Can: Two Singles Announced

This adorable fruit-based Indies idol group is set to release two singles, one (Their fourth) on March 28 and the other (Their fifth) on April 11, leaving for a two week gap between the two releases.

Their fourth single is titled "Koi ga Tomaranai", meaning "My Love Won't Stop", with the tracklist as follows:
1. Koi ga Tomaranai
2. Mikansei no Sweets (Means "Incomplete Sweets")
3. Lead Heart (Lead is pronounced with the long e, in this case.)

Their fifth single is titled "Koi no Binetsu", meaning "Love's Fever", with the tracklist as follows:
1. Koi no Binetsu
2. YEAH! Fuwari Hane Batake!! (Means "YEAH! Gently flapping my wings!!")
3. Try Again

E-Girls: New unit added, "bunny"

This is a little late, but anyways~! :P A new EXILE sister unit called "bunny" has been announced. These girls are the finalists from the latest Vocal Battle Audition (the third one, to be exact), which is where the new members of Flower came from. Reminds me of what has happened with recent MM gen auditions in the sense that the other finalists get a chance to join the company. Sweet! ^.^

All the members' ages range from 12-13 years old, making them the youngest group in LDH, and just a young group in general. Like the EXILE way, they have been assigned as either a vocalist or performer/dancer. Their names, as listed in the picture, are:

- Takebe Yuzuna (Vocals)(武部 柚那/Hyogo/12 years old)
- Takeda Kyoka (Performer) (武田 杏香/Kyoto/12 years old)
- Hagio Misato (Performer) (萩尾 美麗/Osaka/12 years old)
- Hanayama Mizuki (Performer) (花山 端貴/Kanagawa/12 years old)
- Miyu Oishi (Performer) (大石 美優/Saitama/13 years old)
- Inagaki Rio (Performer) (稲垣 莉生/Kanagawa/12 years old)
- Ishii Anna (Performer) (石井 杏奈/Tokyo/13 years old)
- Yamaguchi Nonoka (Perfomer) (山口 乃々華/Tokyo/13 years old)
- Yamamoto Runa (Perfomer) (山本 月/Fukuoka/13 years old)
- Mira (Performer) (ビァッツ*[1] 美良/Chiba/12 years old)
*[1] - The katakana in Mira's name can be romanized to Byattsu... But I have absolutely no idea what that means. X.X Help?

Suugaku Joshi Gakuen

The members of Hello!Project, Nice Girl Project and more have joined together for a new drama called Suugaku Joshi Gakuen .The drama stars Morning Musume`s Michishige Sayumi and Tanaka Reina and features just about everyone else from the agency and the Possible .

Sayu and Reina are members of a math club who wage math battles and other mischief in the school with their  factions. The only male in the school ,who gets in the middle of this madness wishes to be anyplace but math club.

Reina is really funny in this drama and gives me the feeling that she should be a Super Sentai Ranger or the female co-lead in a Kamen Rider series ,just for the comedy value. For longtime Musume fans Sayu has her dark Sayu style coming out again.

Riho also plays a big role in the drama so far.

JKT48 Debut PV Preview

The newest International branch of the 48 family Indonesia`s JKT48 will be releasing shortly their version of the AKB48 single “Heavy Rotation”.

The early preview of the video shows a much different setting and possibly a more pleasing to some 48 fans then the AKB48 version. Their costumes by the way fall right in line with the 48 family style.

From the early preview this group has the makings to do well.

Japanese Inspiration

So I’ve been looking into Japanese styling and detail and it’s exquisite. So delicate and structured.
Here's a couple images I found.

Source:
http://www.enostyle.com/fashion-style-japanese-with-oriental-opulence-trend-fashion-2012/

http://ucdtextstyles.blogspot.com/2010/02/origami-fashion.html

From our collection and keeping in line with Japanese clothing structure, I think this image sums it up brilliantly.

9nine: "Shoujo Traveller" PV

After quite some time, 9nine is back on PIH with the release of their PV for Shoujo Traveller, which will come out in one week.

This is a very mesmerizing and enticing video with the whole futuristic-agent theme and makes me think of PV's such as Perfume's Laser Beam or Buono!'s My Boy. Their choreography is, just as expected from them, fun and creative, and their execution of it gives it justice, for sure. The shots with them in the blue outfits look sort of mismatched with their faces compared with the overall theme, but I can't deny the fact that it makes the PV cuter. The song itself and the sounds of their voices also match the theme of the video, with techno sound effects and robotic-sounding harmonizations in the verses. Plus, it makes me happy that this song focuses more on the whole group and doesn't have Kanae singing almost every line in the song, whether it's a group line, solo line, duet line, etc. :P

And daaaaang, that last part I was NOT expecting. 9nine versus 9nine!!! Even though it may seem cheesy... I found to TOTALLY SUPER AWESOME! <333333333 (Hehehe, 9 hearts!)

I think that both the song and PV are worthy of anyone's attention, and in my opinion is a step up from their last single, though that one wasn't all bad. This is just TO good for me! :D

PV Link (For now, this is the only working one. I'll try to update with a new one later.)

[Lyrics] S/mileage - Te wo Nigitte Arukitai

te wo nigitte michi wo arukou
tanoshii hi ga kisou na yokan
te wo nigitte chikaou yo nee SANSHAIN
bouken no hibi Go! My Way

tamatama hayaku me ga sameta
asa kara meccha ii tenki ( E )
taijyuukei wa uranai kekka wa kichi

muri wa sezu ni MAI PEESU de
odekake wo shiyou
jinsei no odekake no jikan

te wo nigitte michi wo arukou
yama ya tani mo touzen aru darou
te wo nigitte norikoeyou seishun
taisetsu na hibi Go! My Way

saikin naze ka kazoku ga
kokoro kara itoshii
shinpai to ka kaketa koto
CHOBI tto hansei

mirai nante wakaranai ga
dakara koso soko ni
ooki na yume ga dakeru

te wo nigitte michi wo arukou
tanoshii hi ga kisou na yokan
te wo nigitte chikaou yo nee SANSHAIN
bouken no hibi Go! My Way

aishiteru suteki na hito
suteki na kazoku suteki na kyoudai
arigatou suteki na omoide
deatta minna arigatou

te wo nigitte michi wo arukou
yama ya tani mo touzen aru darou
te wo nigitte norikoeyou seishun
taisetsu na hibi Go! My Way

te wo nigitte michi wo arukou
tanoshii hi ga kisou na yokan
te wo nigitte chikaou yo nee SANSHAIN
bouken no hibi Go! My Way

[Lyrics] S/mileage - Konnichiwa Konbanwa

Gaki asked either me or Candy to post the lyrics for S/mileage's latest single since someone asked for them. So I decided to do it! (But if you wanted to do it Candy... Sorry about that! >.<) If anyone else has anymore lyrics to request, please don't hesitate to ask!

Happy New Year everyone

New Year, new trends and styles to keep up with because as we know fashion is forever changing.

So I’m going to take a look at what trends are already out there an ones that will be up and coming for the current season and year.

Despite the miserable weather vibrant and bold colours are definitely making an appearance. Along with basic prints and A- line shapes. A lot like Viktor and Rolf’s and Peter Som’s Ready-To-Wear S/S 2012 collection.

Also from Christopher Kane’s S/S 2011 collection, I see a lot Japanese inspired clothing making its way onto the fashion scene.

LOVE♥INA30

The next group we would like to show you Is

From Aichi

Please be sure to view these groups as Indies will be on the 2012 PIH Idol Awards.

CHIMO

As a staff we decided that in 2012 we are going to bring you as many Independent, regional Idol units as possible. As hard as it may seem 90% of all idol groups are Indie groups and soloists . Most  are working outside the major media outlets, while being major stars in their home Prefectures.

With each group the presentation will be different, depending on what they have to offer.

First up is from Oita the idol group CHIMO .CHIMO has been around since 2007 and is considered a Super Idol group in their region. The group has had several members go on to join national idol groups.

For CHIMO the best way to welcome them to PIH is to show them in Concert.
So sit back and take 30 minutes to get to know these hard working well loved idols. Some of their best songs are near the end of the performance as all Indies do with their live sets.

S/mileage “Chotto Matte Kudasai! “ PV

I don`t think I have ever had enjoyed a S/mileage video  as much as this one .New S/mileage hit a homerun with this one a perfect vocal blend that should please all S/mileage fans.
The video features the energetic idols in bright colored dresses, throwing themselves against a glass wall and more .Second gen members look like they have been in the group for years and are growing into wonderful idols and bring a lot of energy and vocal style to the group.
