Sendai idol unit and a Pure Idol Heart favorite Dorothy Little Happy visited Kawaii girl Japan to give their first introduction video . Kawaii girl Japan has a great reputation and is known as a gateway for artists wanting to explore the world outside of Japan.

Dorothy Little Happy in the video shows off the cuteness that I instantly took to ,when Ryo and I decided to present the group on Pure Idol Heart last March.

Morning Musume Grows By Four

Morning Musume Grows By Four

Morning Musume now has four new members. At the first MC this evening, the guru of Morning Musume Tsunku-san took the stage for the historic 10th generation announcement. Originally as later confirmed by Tsunku-san himself, the plan was to add only two girls and make Morning Musume a ten-member lineup after Aichan graduated; instead, he felt that two members could not be passed up.

  Joining Morning Musume as 10th generation members are

Iikubo Haruna [16],

She was the surprise that Tsunku-san hinted at in regards to 9th generation, in that she is older then every member of 9th generation .Older or not, 9th generation is still her elders in rank.

From Tsunku-san: "Haruna has a surprising "pure" personality. In addition, her looks are gorgeous. I believe she has the determination to bring her singing to a suitable level. That is why she passed."

From PIH Staff-Haruna has a lot of modeling experience for LoveBerry under a different name and nickname Harupe.


The second girl to be announced was current Dorothy Little Happy back dancer
Ishida Ayumi [14]

From Tsunku-san: "Ayumi Her singing and dancing were outstanding. In addition, her personality is as firm as a stone. I believe the history of Morning Musume can be passed on to her from here on out. That is why she passed.

From PIH Staff-See it pays to be an Indie Idol, see why we post Indies so much, they are good groups."

The third girl announced was
Satou Masaki [12]

From Tsunku-san: "Masaki .The level of her dancing and singing is below the other three now, but she has a potential that she has yet to realize herself. In addition, her skill level rose considerably during the audition. That is why she passed.

The final member was current Egg and history making Kudou Haruka who becomes the youngest ever member of Morning Musume as Tsunku-san pulled   an Aki-P moment and found his own Matsui Jurina 11 yr old idol  prodigy .
Kudou Haruka [11]

From Tsunku-san: "Haruka She has experience as an egg, and she really loves singing. In addition, the "gap" between her tiny and cute face and her husky voice is interesting .I hope that she can help to bring together the 10th generation members and the current members as soon as possible. That is why she passed. [Reference to her stage experience with the group]

From PIH Staff: Actually Haruka for her age has a rich tone to her voice that is hard to generate for someone her age . Despite the fact she was sick for most of the audition videos, don`t underestimate her. She is just starting to develop her voice and in a couple of years could play a large role in Morning Musume and before her graduation  in what 14 yrs from now [age 25, lol] could play a huge role in their future, much like Goto Maki did. Not saying she will, just saying for her age the skills are there to be something special.

Outside of PIH, my main job is a singer for a touring rock band and after years of singing you can develop a raspy voice for a number reason, Haruka has a sort of natural rock raspy voice. She is not by far my favorite singer, but sure is going to be interesting hearing her unique voice blend into this unit.

 The industry has changed so much, that just taking 10-12 girls who have never experienced entertainment is not going to keep you in the game. Morning Musume today as a new soon to be 12-member lineup got much stronger in overall talent then they were this time last year. It may not pay off in sales now and Aichan leaving will hurt for a while, but this group has reloaded for the future and that maybe far more important then the sales battles of today. Look at 9th and 10th generation as the future of Morning Musume and if you do, you will see that their future is pretty strong.

Welcome new members.

Related note
For Dorothy Little Happy Fans who are wondering about Fuuka, it`s already been confirmed by DLH media services that she is returning to DLH as a back dancer, there is no talk of her as of now joining their main unit. DLH agency has several units, so who knows what she may end up doing after this experience.

Dorothy Little Happy In Concert

Dorothy Little Happy In Concert

Ah the PIH`s staff loves of Sendai are back

On the 25th DLH held a live two hour concert broadcast on USTREAM  , that saw DLH  bring out their very best  minus their back dancers .

The concert itself maybe their finest to date ,DLH  has always been a free spirited bunch , however since their appearance at TIF 2011 a lot of time and energy has been devoted to making a name for themselves in Tokyo and with that their charm and performances  have an sharper edge to them.

High points in this 15 song and something like 7 MC   , 3-costume change concert are many from the concert, DLH relationship with their wotas who they just love and work hard to involve them in their lives from leading chants and arm movements to air volleyball with them.

Around the half hour mark, the members have a costume change solo member MC. What this is the members one by one have their own comedy filled MCs .It`s a personal idol to wota MC. The ending of the concert had a special bonding song between DLH and their fans that brings the night to a full circle and perfect closure with DLH and wotas singing together.

The staff of PIH has seen or been to many DLH lives and can honestly say with this live DLH are at their all-time best right now.

If your a fan of DLH or have never seen them at all  ,you should take two hours out of  day today ,while the broadcast remains active and enjoy this hard working group out of Sendai .  This may have been the most fun for me live to experience yet from DLH .

Musume`s 10th Gen`s Two Dorothy Little Happy Members

Musume`s 10th Gen`s Two Dorothy Little Happy Members

When I made my post on the Morning Musume 10gen auditions ,my time was limited and I rushed the post and in doing so I left out a very important bit of information .There is actually two members of Dorothy Little Happy back dancers in the final ten not one as I had posted earlier .

They are Ishida Ayumi and Tanaka Fuuka .In my rush to post, it slipped my mind that
Tanaka was the same Fuuka that we have grown to love as a supporting member of DLH.

It later came to me, when things settle down, lol.

Anyway, enough rambling .I thought that you would like to see the two and the other supporting members take  over DLH Ustream show, so you can get a better feel for Ayumi and Fuuka.

Dorothy Little Happy - Mission Happiness 29 June 2011

Finally I got to catch Dorothy Little Happy Ustream show Mission in Happiness. I was still at work just like last week, but this time I have less guys walking behind my workstation. And a big plus, I managed to find a way to download the Ustream streaming video! It pays to be in the technical field of work. :-)

The show started early... well, it didn't "start" per se, but 30 minutes before they go on air, the Ari TV crew were testing out the cams and the DLH girls were prepping for the show. No audio, but we can see the girls are in high spirits. It's great to see them in their own casual clothing instead of the usual glitter and glamor.
Already the Twitter channel have messages pouring in, and just like last week's show, you can send in an email or tweets so the girls can read and respond to it. From right, Kana, Ruuna, Mari, Koumi and Mimori. Behind them is a TV showing a clip of their concert in April, which eventually will be put out on DVD called "Journey to Oz". Get it? Yes, that's really the title of the DVD. :-)
On the desk, is laptop logged on to their Ustream page where they can read the viewer's messages via Twitter. Mimori is holding up a sign that says "we are still in preparation".




Then the camera stopped and then started back again. Once again, no audio. Girls are hanging around waiting for showtime. Kana then came up to the camera and posed a peace sign - because somebody requested her to do it via Twitter. Now that's why she's my favourite of the group, she's the oldest but she can just be so cute sometimes. She's also the mature one there, while she's promoting the show and merchandise with the crew, the other girls just goof around.
Mimori seems very proud of her artworks. Then Kana showed a picture of herself, noted by Mimori's sign, when she was 14 years old (She's currently 17).


Mimori and Ruuna decided to do sketching competition, at the request of a fan tweet - drawing a girl with glasses.



Then a break. I went away for a bit, and came back later to find the show has started 4 minutes already. I'm not sure if it is OK for me to put up the video here, but if it is not allowed... anyways this only first 10 minutes of the show.



The girls commented about how nervous they were in the concert shown on the TV, and how they have improved in dancing now. Then they read and respond to the tweets. Mimori announces their next event appearances this weekend.

Then Kana introduces members of Bee-F.L.T. (pronounced Bee Flat) who will opening for their live show on Sunday. At this point onwards, we get to see Ruuna's character just like how I see it in her blog posts - full of lame jokes and just plain weird (in a cute way of course :)).

Then the girl talk about their live shows, crowd reaction and where at one point they have technical problems onstage and they suspect there is a ghost present... and moved on the next topic.

And the show proceeded from then on... what I've noticed.
- Unlike mainstream variety shows where it is supervised by an experienced MC and everything is well formated, this one is a total "organized chaos". Which is a welcome break from the monotonous one-format shows we see on TV.
- On the girls - Kana is the big bossy sister + leader (obviously) who loves to study, Ruuna is the goof-ball afraid of ghosts, Mari is the goodie girly-girly girl, Koumi is the quiet supporting role, and Mimori is the topper and attention grabber .

Then next "Mission Orders" - Apparently it is confirmed that the DLH girls will be involved in a short dorama! (perhaps aired in Ari-TV or produced in DVD). Ruuna is afraid of the idea because she was afraid a ghost will appear again, to which the others advised her to eat salt. :)
Now the girls are required to come up with ideas to be included in the DVD. Fans also then poured in ideas via Twitter. Among them - cooking contest, dance battle, sports fest, test/exam, intro-quiz, funny faces contest, water sports ..... what familiar ideas, at this point I realized that a lot of the audience of this show today could be Morning Musume fans too. But my favorite idea was doing a band ala Bee-Mine and Scandal, which Mari love so much. Mari also came up with a camping trip, that way they could do almost all of the given ideas (sports,test,water games etc etc).

Due to lack of time, they decided on on:
- Long somen eating contest
- Sports fest
- Camping trip
- Dorama
- Test

With that show ends.

[Lyrics and Translation] Dorothy Little Happy - Miteite Angel

"Miteite Angel" is a B-side love ballad to Dorothy Little Happy's debut single "Jump!". Enjoyed this song a lot, one time I'd played it in infinite loop for a couple hours.
In the beginning and at end of its PV, we see the girls were indulging in a game of looking for four-leaved clovers in the green fields, because the logo for DLH is a four-leaved clover. And if you think four-leaved clovers are rare, think again. Kana has a knack for looking for these gems very quickly. Once she was out jogging in the morning, then veered off to look for a four-leaved clover at some garden and post it in the blog.
Also in the video we saw DLH posing for pictures for the mini PB that accompanies the CD.

Anyways, "Miteite Angel" is like a simple unrequited love song filled with lots of cliches. Sort of like George Michael's "Careless Whispers", also full of cliches but the song was not supposed to have some kind of big message in it. (Heh, I just quoted George Michael, damn I am OLD!)

DLH - Miteite Angel

Nihongo
見ていてエンジェル


退屈そうな君を見て　声をかけようとしてやめて
窓をつたう雨を見て不意に　君が好きなんだとわかったの

揺れながら　深く深く　君が今　私の中　広がるの

駆け上がった　丘から見えた
空の青　いつか２人で
明日もっと　近づけるように
きまぐれなエンジェル　そこから見ていて

君が呼んでくれたから　自分の名前が好きになったの

泣き出しそう　初めてなの　こんな気持ち　全てのものが輝くの

舞い上がった　花びらが作る
虹のコラージュ　いつか２人で
明日もっと君が好きだよ
きまぐれなエンジェル　そこから見ていて

想いがやがて　私から溢れて　君に伝わればいい
揺れながら　熱く熱く　君が今　私の色　塗り替える

駆け上がった　丘から見えた
空の青　いつか２人で
明日もっと　近づけるように
世界中のエンジェル　チカラを貸して下さい

舞い上がった　花びらが作る
虹のコラージュ　いつか２人で
明日もっと君が好きだよ
世界中のエンジェル　そこから見ていて

Watch us, angel

Seeing you looking bored, don't be calling out to me now
While looking at the rain running down the window, then I realized that I am in love with you

While swaying deeper and deeper you now spread inside of me

One day the two of us will run up the hill
and look at the blue sky
Tomorrow we will be closer
Whimsical angel, watch us from over there

Because you called me, I started to like my name

Felt like crying, first time I've had this feeling, everything seems sparkly.

One day the two of us will make a rainbow collage
made from flower petals swirling upwards
I will love you more tomorrow
Whimsical angel, watch us from over there

Soon my feelings will overflow, I should be telling you about it
While swaying and warm, you have repainted my colours

One day the two of us will run up the hill
and look at the blue sky
Tomorrow we will be closer
To all angels of the world, please lend me your strength

One day the two of us will make a rainbow collage
made from flower petals swirling upwards
I will love you more tomorrow
To all angels of the world, watch us from over there

[Lyrics and Translation] Dorothy Little Happy - Jump!

"Jump!" is Dorothy Little Happy debut single released before they went major, a song about freedom and chasing one's dream. This song was probably composed with having an upbeat, energetic, mood-making stage performance in mind. I don't think I can say enough how I wish Michiyo was still in the group (she retired from showbiz to pursue her studies, which is ironically true to the theme of "Jump!"), but then if she had not left the other girls may not have the chance to pick up the microphone and shine.
Kana looks super cute in the PV, love the costume too though I cannot say the same about their alternative outfit... at least not for me.

あの時泣いたのは　気付いてしまったから
欠ける月のように　消えてく想いもあるって
それでもやめたりはしないの　止められはしないの
胸を震わせるリアル　感じたいの　さあ進もう

心配されるのは　もううんざり
背伸びしなくちゃ見えないもの見たいよ

でもね　ほんとはちょっと怖いの　迷ったら
君の　君の胸の中に帰ってくるから
やさしく抱きしめて

あの時泣いたのは　気付いてしまったから
月が満ちるように　重なる想いもあるって
世界が回るスピードで　夢を追いかけるの
羽を少し休めたら　飛び立つんだ　思い切りジャンプ

でもね　ほんとはちゃんとわかってる　忘れないよ
君が　君がいつも私　見守っていること
目の前の未来を　私たちの未来を　この手で照らしたいの

あの時泣いたのは　気付いてしまったから
欠ける月のように　消えてく想いもあるって
あの時泣いたのは　気付いてしまったから
月が満ちるように　重なる想いもあるって

高鳴る　この胸　止められない
この街　この星　夢　夢　夢

世界が回るスピードで　明日はやって来るよ
胸を震わせるリアル　感じたいの　思い切りジャンプ

Jump!

I was crying at that time because I've suddenly realized
that there are feelings that will disappear like a waning moon
Even then I will not give up nor will I stop
I want to really feel my heart tremble, so let's move forward

I'm so sick of being worried
I want to see the things that you have to stretch in order to be able see it

But if you hesitate, it is actually a little scary
I will return to your heart
hug me gently

I was crying at that time because I've suddenly realized
There are feelings that pile up like a full moon
At the speed that our world spins, I will chase my dreams
Give your wings a rest, take off and impulsively jump!

But actually I fully understand and cannot forget
that you have always watched over me
With this hand I will shine on our future and the future in front of me

I was crying at that time because I've suddenly realized
that there are feelings that will disappear like a waning moon
I was crying at that time because I've suddenly realized
There are feelings that pile up like a full moon

This heart beats fast and won't stop
This city, this planet, dreams, dreams, dreams...

At the speed that our world spins, tomorrow will finally come
I want to really feel my heart tremble, so take off and impulsively jump!

Dorothy Little Happy - Demo Sayonara Lyrics and Translation

I got my order from YesAsia for Dorothy Little Happy stuff about couple months ago and was wearing a weird grin on my face that whole day when the package arrived at my office. Got the Jump! single that comes with a mini photobook and the Demo Sayonara mini album. Synched it up with my iPod and DLH has been accompanying my drive to work almost everyday ever since.

The mini PB was a little sad actually, because Michiyo was still with DLH and in the Jump! single before she graduated later on, so to look at pictures of cute Michiyo in the PB but knowing she's not in the group anymore... yeah, it's a kinda sad. But fortunately, the rest of the girls are picking it up nicely. So I hope there is another PB in their next single.

Back on topic, Demo Sayonara mini album has two songs fit for school graduation ceremonies - Demo Sayonara (But Goodbye) and Wakare no Toki (When we part). Being able to make a good graduation song is very important because you will remember it forever. AKB48 for example have a few graduation songs under their belt , including the recent and successful "Sakura no ki ni narou".

Demo Sayonara PV is Avex-produced and true to the song, it is about confessing your feelings to someone you fancy in school.

But Goodbye...

I like you, I like you, more than anyone I have ever met
I like you, I like you, but good bye...

Congratulations. Thank you.
We'll meet again so take care
It's our last day wearing our uniform
and we're surrounded by flower bouquets
While we are having funs with our friends our eyes meet
Your button-removed uniform matches the blue skies well *[1]

Innocently, when you left the city
you repeatedly said "Even if we part, I'll be okay"

I like you, I like you, more than anyone I have ever met
I like you, I like you, just like that day
I like you, I like you, though I want to be with you
I like you, I like you, but goodbye...

Now there's no sign of you becoming a obedient good boy
The look on your face when you are troubled is somehow cool

Each of our memories have increased
You said "We will become stronger"

What your eyes cannot see and your hands cannot feel,
do you believe in it? (I believe)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's like leaving someone behind
I'm lonely, I'm lonely, come back and pick me up someday okay?

I like you, I like you, more than anyone I have ever met

[Blog Pickup] Dorothy Little Happy - 21 June 2011

Did anyone watch Dorothy Little Happy Operation Happy last night? Sad case for me, cos I was working, and yeah I tuned in but I cannot bring the video up cos my colleagues are walkin' around and I cannot really put it up on my screen in full view so I kept it in the background and listened to it like a bloody radio. So this week's Operation Happy was DLH talking about themselves and they brought in the DLH back dancers as guests to talk about themselves. But it was a half-fulfilling experience.

Once in a while I'd switch the browser to the front to catch a glimpse of it and alt-tab it to the background when someone walks by. Freakin' frustrating. I was like going "come on, bitch... do you really have to make your business calls with the cordless phone while standing behind my chair?!". Story of my life. But I bet some of you know how it's like.

What's worse? I just found out Ustream changed their streaming codes, so I cannot download it and watch it offline later like I used to. They're smart, they just made URL sniffing that much harder. So I'm gonna get my tools out and research this one.

So yesterday's blog... Kana's druidic weather forecast came through and she plugs the Operation Happy show with her bunny persona, Mimori is going really random, Koumi shows off her turtle, Ruuna is still unfazed from eating cheesy pastries in the morning, and Mari in her usual cute self talks about the rain.

Fresh Video: Dorothy Little Happy Demo Sayonara PV

Fresh Video: Dorothy Little Happy Demo Sayonara PV

I am not sure if "Fresh Video" is a new segment or not, however there are just some things that just need to be posted, lol. This is the latest coming out of the loveable Idols from Sendai Dorothy Little Happy .This PV takes us away from their normal concert costumes and into the smiling school girl uniforms.

This video is simple and has a look of being in school with the unit, or a teen drama, but more importantly shows off their vocal style. This unit is one of the better fresh faced vocal units out. Give them a couple of more years they could be a player in the Major battles, if they choose to leave the safety of regional Idol power.

This PV is a must for DLH fans and a good welcoming video for first timers.

Oh one more note ,we have added a new DLH feature blog and twitter translations , be sure to follow Ryo as he takes you deeper into the minds and world of DLH.

http://pureidolheart.blogspot.com/2011/06/blog-pickup-dorothy-little-happy-20.html

You can also follow all  the groups posts through our archives by clicking the Dorothy Little Happy label at the end of the post.

EDIT- Note to self - focus at all times  for you may write song title backwards , title now fixed ,lol

It's Kana here!★

It's Monday!!
How's your day today??
（Even though there's 8 hour left to go... *laughs*）

For me, it's been a while since I got first in fortune-telling so I was very happy, but apparently my "lucky item" is "layered clothing".
How in the world am I going wear one on top of the other during such a hot day like this?(´o｀；

And with that rant, that is how I began my day (^^)

In a hot day like this, makes you want to eat a lot of shaved ice, yes?♪

Oh.
I'm out of syrup, so I'll buy one on the way home.

What flavor shall I get?
(I've never tried anything else other than strawberry!)

Clip clop clip clop。
Detour!
