Aya-chan is a goddess
>>15797650
Can you make a webm of this performance? It's like they caught lightning in a bottle. I never get tired of watching it and I'm not even really a big Mayama fan.
The Takoniji girls are putting out their 1st official album this winter. There will definitely be new stuff on for sure that I'm excited about, but I wonder how they'll arrange their previous singles?

When will this short pv meme end?
>>15802011
Watching Cia/Sia whatever perform "Chandelier" at the Apple Event, Aika Hirota from Ebichu and another singer named Nodoka did a much better live version at Girls' Factory 16 and it was Engrish nonetheless. Embarassing
>>15805640
embarrassing engrish is the best engrish

She grew up too fast
>>15814779
Seriously, where did the time go? It's only been , like, two years.
https://youtu.be/OuwY7b2lTK0
>>15812474
Yeah. I was talking like a Syachi, Ebichu kind of big.
Might make a few more of these, there are surprisingly more than a couple of instances where the girls take close-up pictures of each other using oversized cameras.
>>15820969
lol
I can not guarantee the text is 100% centered.
nice honoka deko
>>15788811
>general
Mirei got bunshun-edI'm just relieved it wasn't Aya-chan
>>15821582
No idea what this means, care to elaborate?
>>15821601
Scandal photos published in a weekly magazine
>>15821582
unfortunately she was the one I most expected to scandal. she's too much like a real girl. :(
>>15819992
don't mind me, just making a lame joke/reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl6u2NASUzU
>>15821582
Is there anything to read about this is english? These pictures don't tell much of a story.
>>15822216
>>15821795
Yeah I don't get it. Got a link to the article so I can at least Google translate it?
>>15822899
Nevermind:
https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://ikomach.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-7689.html
It seems the commenters are defending her but yeah it appears she definitely went to a dude's house with a friend by reading it.
>>15821201
>>15822913
Sucks that her privacy is being invaded like this, but I doubt Stardust is gonna punish Mirei or anything like that.
>>15824218
As far as I can tell, she's pretty much above whatever rules they have anyway. It's their fault for not keeping watch on their girls all of the time desu. I think Ebichu's time is almost done so I don't think it matters
>>15824253
>Ebichu's time is almost done
That's a good one, pal.
>>15824298
At the very least they'll rebrand it... How long can they keep up the "school" act? The youngest member is almost 16 and I don't think they'll replace the older ones.
>>15824344
A name change may be possible or they just will call them Ebichu and forget about the full name. Stardust wouldn't disband one of their biggest acts.
Or just leave it like it is now. They're supposed to be forever middle schoolers after all, they even have a song about that.
>>15824440
I'm sure some of them want to move on, like Mayama doing more voice acting. Not familiar with the lyrics of songs or much of the lore, desu
>>15824469
>>15824344
If that happens, Stardust'll most likely bring in new girls from 3B junior or one of their small acts and give them new numbers. That's how Po-chan and Rittan got in.
Scrunchy-face girl might be ready for a promotion to Ebichu...
>>15824497
Kind of makes me nervous though. I think the group as it is perfects the mix of voices and utilization of the girls. They're at risk for overlap, I want them to be careful if they do it. Just looking at it from an art perspective
>>15824546
I agree, Ebichu's finally found what works for them, but change is inevitable. As long as they train their 3B Junior girls well and give the group room for creativity, Ebichu's won't fall apart.
>>15824344
>obaasan datte chuugakusei
They can be middleschoolers forever. It's the whole idea
I think Ebichu will never be more popular than the modest level they have now though, and Kohaku is not happening, especially after this scandal made NHK look bad
Who's excited for this? I'm a little confused as to they they're doing this the week before Thanksgiving (aka the busiest and most inconvenient time for traveling and touring), but I'm still gonna try and make it.
>>15824596
*why they're doing this
So I just finished watching the Ebichu Everything Point 2 documentary and I think I just experienced the greatest love story ever told. I live-tweeted it but on desktop it still puts the thread out of order. On the mobile app it should load chronologically. If you're a fan of Ebichu you really need to check this documentary out. Not trying to promote myself, I just think this is a good watch.
https://twitter.com/CaeX_/status/774830974592888833
>>15824596
I bought general seating tickets when they announced their la show. HR still hasn't given me the week off so I'll probably have to miss it.
>>15824692
That's fucked, but also what I meant by inconvenient. It's so hard to get time off during that time if you haven't done so months in advance. Are you thinking of selling it?
>>15824769
Nah. I'lI barter days off the calendar and take a hit on my TPL if I have to. Still, it's a rotten time for them to schedule a tour.I was just lying when I said I would miss it.
>>15824344
>How long can they keep up the "school" act? The youngest member is almost 16
that's the joke
>>15826841
It wasn't a joke when they were actually school age. They're supposed to be a middle school, now most of them would be graduating high school. Even if it's a joke now it wasn't really originally.
>>15826841
>>15828673
Not to mention, a key part of the original gimmick was that the girls were very amateur, made mistakes, etc. I challenge you to watch anything from 2015+ and tell me how amateur and untrained the girls are. Aside from a few skits on stage, they've pretty much dropped that act 100%.
>>15828718
You say that like it's a bad thing and what we have today is worse than what they were.
Although maybe that's why Sakura Ebi~su exists? To reuse the same gimmick? I remember reading that those girls weren't part of 3B Junior. That would make sure they have less experience.
dammit, mizugis.
stardust owata ;_;
>>15830221
>implying
>>15828798
Nope, I'm saying it in a good way. I think the girls are super talented, so why hinder them? Another group, like you mentioned, should take over the idea.

RIP
Now, where will I be able to find this when it comes out...?
>>15838797
I'm looking forward to it desu. Mirei a cutie.
Oh look, there are a few samples. Should I keep going?
>>15839320
surprisingly wide hips...
>>15840810
matches her wide nose
>>15840810
Wait until you see Kaho's... She is the widest of the wide
>>15839320
>>15842818
Where is her bikini bottom? Find out in November
>>15842818
>>15839320
Lasto
>>15842645
I will actually end it all if Po--chan does bikini. absolutely not Ok
>>15843366
She doesn't seem like the type who would want to but literally who knows at this point
>>15843600
I don't think Stardust is the kind of agency that would force their girls to do jobs they don't want to. Mirei stated that she was OK doing this.
amuro namie is a bad role model/influence on her
i can feel something bad brewing :~
>>15846373
Hinata has always been a bit wild
>>15844013
Agree with you
Merchandise has been posted on the US Tour website.
>>15848204
Looks a bit basic, but that's not gonna stop me from getting them though.
Comfy Honoka
>>15842883
Is there any more of those in bikini?
>>15852586
Not yet! Those are all the samples available. They may release one more in anticipation of the release in November, but unlikely. I considered ordering the book but I'm sure someone will upload it somewhere from Japan first.
>>15852586
>>15852630
Actually, there is one more.
>>15852645
Dear god, I wasn't ready. Got a better resolution? Anywhere?
>>15852650
I couldn't find anything. We'll have to wait.
>>15852689
Just dug around myself, absolutely nothing.
Why do you like Ebichu?
Everyone's favourite momoclo metal remixer delivers again: https://soundcloud.com/axlxl/z-axlxl-remix-4

>>15854464
Poor Hina pushes herself too hard :(
What's the next injury for her?
>>15853126
This
>>15854754
Is aiai included?
>>15854962
Wouldn't have gone down that far if she wasn't!
>>15853126
I'm actually really fan of the music. Especially the Kinpachi album, and being a musician myself, I'm damn impressed how someone can create something as vast as this
>>15855860
I guess there are different people working on the music for every Stardust group, because I can't get into most songs by groups other than Ebichu. Some Taco, some Momo, but that's about it.
>>15856158
Yes. You should look at the credits of the songs and find out if they were composed/produced by the same person.
I personally love Hyadain's work in all the groups he had worked with.
>>15856279
Hyadain hasn't composed much recently though ever since falling out with kwkm
>>15857442
Hasn't he been working with Takoniji, though? I know he's wrote and produced some of their Post-Towa singles.
>>15854754
not including htg and tomato
way2fail
>>15857442
they made up after kwkm died in the ring
>>15857496
He's written something, but not as much as he used to 5 years ago
>>15857513
HTG? I like both of them but they wouldn't be why I paid attention
>>15859940
I think his latest works are Takoniji's dot JP japan and A~rin's new song.
>>15860612
>HTG?
High tension girl
>>15860711
Japanese Wikipedia is telling me he wrote all of Takoniji's A-side singles after Towa graduated except for Nanairo Dance and that Christmas song. I guess it sorta helps that they're both based in Osaka?
>>15851838
Also, merchandise is the best way to support your favorite groups since it has the highest profit margins.
Those white dresses are lovely.
>>15866431
They portray a strong message. "We are still pure even though we are gravure girls now"
>>15866431
15? I hate it when my favorite is the baby of the group.
>>15867700
She was like 12 when she joined
>>15864375
I know, but for their first tour outside Japan, I was expecting something fancier. Maybe I was asking for too much.
>>15870217
Cute boy on the left
>>15871014
Indeed. The merch may be disappointing, but we should all make sure to buy some so that their management sees that it's financially viable to come over here every once in a while. Maybe even expand their next tour to a few other major metropolitan areas like Chicago or Washington D.C.
>>15871173
You're right. The fact that they're touring over here at all is kinda of a big deal, especially with all the other J-pop acts that came over this year (Perfume, Babymetal, Kyary etc.) so I understand Stardust wanting to strike while the iron's hot and get their biggest act some Western exposure.
They could've at least shelled out for some penlights though, but I'm just being salty.

It is really impressive how Riko can stop being a normal girl and become a beautiful lady just by removing the braids.

They didn't even put a picture of her on the announcement lol. Don't think they were impressed with her anyway even before she became too ill to perform.
How are Momoclo's US venues not sold out yet? Isn't the biggest one just 2,000 people?

If it wasn't required for me to obtain a visa to go to US, I would already have everything booked.
Since toujinsai 2016, I can't wait to go on their concert again.
>tfw been just 5 metres away from Reni
>she probably seen me
>>15919689
>>15919800
I guess I'll just resign myself to the fact that they'll likely never come here again.
>>15919857
>they will never come to Europe
>>15919866
They've already been to France, famalam.
>>15919879
>France
>Europe
Really though, I haven't heard of them back then
>>15919879
don't forget dortmund
lol, the audience was so bad
>>15919800
Now when I checked, getting visa shouldn't be a big problem.
The only thing I worry about is if American audience would be able to have as much fun as Japanese.
I mean after toujinsai my throat hurt for 2 days.
>>15919961
It stands to reason that American Momonofu are more dedicated than American fans of other groups, simply due to the relative lack of exposure over here requiring more dedication and often a better understanding of Japanese to follow the group as very little gets translated.
>>15919954
How bad was it? What happened over there?
>>15920854
it's on the youtubes
just about all audience activity was from the japanese fans that flew over.
the germans looked confused where they were or what was going on. lol

These subtitles make me glad I don't know any Japanese so I can't possibly know the dumb shit these girls are forced to say on a regular basis
>>15922210
I wonder how they feel knowing they'll have to do this type of shit all over again in the US.
>>15924381
>>15925417
If the management is wise enough they may not have to pull off shit like that.
>>15922782
>>15924381
>>15925417
I think it was cute, even though I don't speak any German. It's just the audience that made it awkward.
Hinata looks sexy from this angle
>>15929215
hinata and realgay
hah, what is this
>>15929215
No matter how hard I try, I absolutely cannot like her parted bangs at all
>>15929215
She really does.
Do you guys care about 3bjunior? Be honest.
>>15933189
Moderately. I can't find enough content to see it though.
>>15933189
To me, they're as replaceable as most of the AKB girls, but unlike AKB48, they actually have potential to move on to better things.
>>15933189
I do, they're great

>>15943610
Reni-Chan with twintails should be more common.

I'm just getting to know this group and I though Arisa was the Purple one; Who's that again?
>>15958052
Thebrownpink one.
>>15958052
Oh wait! Maybe you meant who is the one in purple? That's Sakura.
Red: Riko
Green: Ai
Yellow: Kiina
Pink: Arisa
Purple: Sakura
Blue: Sora
>>15958080
Yea that could've been worded better.
>>Purple is named Sakura
Is what threw me off desu. I see that name, in hiragana, and ny head automatically goes to Pink.

More 「MIREITOPIA」 info was released here in an interview with Mirei http://www.stardust.co.jp/interview/article/hoshinamirei/01.html
Also some shit-sized new pictures. In the promotional video, she says she's doing a solo live show on 11/4, hopefully a sendoff for this tainted Ebi
>>15976249
There may be better resolution pictures in articles elsewhere but I really don't care. Nothing good in these...

yay pramo

Why is she so perfect?
>>15991878
She's getting pudgy. Damn female hormones... This picture doesn't show it well but I've noticed it at some recent live performances. Check the arm width over time. Face too
>>15993474
None of us are getting any younger.
They are all in their 20s now.
>>15994549
Yep, had to happen sooner or later. Still a fan of hers though
reni was the most disgusting member in the early of momokuro but now she is the cutest
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1476970734764.webm
>>16000637
Does this mean they're okay to dance again?
I decided to give 5th Dimension a listen again and damn is there some overuse of Autotune on some of the songs.
What's up with that?
>>16001595
I think all of the Stardust groups overuse autotune on the CDs so they can have a different experience live by default. I guess they figure why not explore as much creativity on the albums as they can.
>>16005784
Who is this qt?
>>16005818
Purple from Team Syachihoko
>>16006593
I don't think that's Yuzuki, it doesn't look like her. Besides, the card has today's date and I'm pretty sure she looked like this.
>>16005784
>>16006712
Definitely fooled me. Even in those two pictures I think they look similar
>>15995206

I want her to tickle me like that :(
On my recent trip to Japan I purchased all momokuro albums and vinyls.
I know albums are easy to find but scans are not. Vinyl rips are impossible to find.
Should I make a torrent?
Pic related. Just finished first album scans in high-res.
>>16010421
This is probably the most easily accessible place to post your torrent if you aren't in private trackers (though I assume you are)
https://www.nyaa.se/?page=upload
>>16010712
I am on jpopsuki and aidoruonline, but I still haven't decided if I should post it there or on nyaa.
>>16010719
Put it on the private trackers first so you can get epeen and a good ratio. Someone will quickly put it on a private tracker if you don't.
>>16010760
Good idea. Will probably do, but I couldn't care less about my ratio anyway. I got over 200 on both.
How much flexibility do you suppose Kanako has lost over the past 5 years?
>>16011089
Idk but if that was her 5 years ago she has always been a true semen demon
>>16010421
thanks, high-res scans would be much appreciated.
>>16011089
>>16012015
Aarin was lucky(?) she was injured at the time. I don't think she could do that either.
mini arin
>>16011089
I wish I could watch more momokuro of back then and work my way towards today. Like watch as much TV appearances live shows etc through out they're careers. How or where can I do this?
>>16004118
That makes sense, when you think about it. Like 5th Dimension is a great album, but it's not an album you can just sit down and listen to; it works best with visuals to complement it. I think the other Stardust group work the same way.
5572320 is back!
>>16019331
Is their website lagging for anyone else? I'm getting an infinite load prism. http://www.5572320.jp/

>>16014142
No one knows? Should I just look for random videos on niconico?
>>16021359
I don't know. I think there was a documentary from their old activities before becoming Z. It may be in dailymotion I think.
>>16021045
I've been using proxysite on a EU server to watch all the blocked videos. Just copy the youtube links and paste.
