Aarin has been diagnosed with peripheral facial nerve palsy (the facial nerve on the right side of her face is hurt) and is in hospital. The condition results in facial paralysis including the inability to close the eye on the affected side. Most people who have it make a full recovery within 6 months, with many recovering within the first 1-2 months.

Aarin also published a statement:
Yesterday, I was diagnosed with right peripheral facial nerve palsy at the hospital.
I'm sorry for scaring you.
I'm currently in the hospital, and I'm focusing on my treatment.
It's the first time for me to go through all of this, so I'm very nervous, but I'm resting so that I can make a full recovery as soon as possible!

I'm sorry that I had to postpone the concert.
It's been a year and a half since I've been able to perform with everyone, but I can't do it.
I'm really sorry to everyone who was looking forward to it.
We've already started rehearsals.
I'm really sorry to the members and all the staff who were preparing for the show.
I'm really sorry.
It's really frustrating because my mind is very healthy.

But the doctor told me that I did a good job by coming to the hospital as soon as the symptoms appeared.
I want to thank all the members who pushed me to go to the hospital right away.
Thanks to all the members who pushed me to go to the hospital right away, and the manager who accompanied me to the hospital and took care of me.
Thank you so much.


I'm so anxious and frustrated that I start to cry if I'm not careful.
But I'll do my best so that everyone can see me in good health soon!
I'll be waiting for you all.

At Jam just announced their line up and 5/7 acts are from Stardust

Aarin should take as much time as she needs to recover but it would be wonderful to have both Ayaka back

Shachi perform on August 28 and the other Stardust acts perform on the 29th

It's so sad to hear about Arin, but at least it's temporary. I agree that there's no rush for her to come back. They can always reschedule the concert, although there's no way to know how the ongoing issues with Covid will effect live events moving forward. On a lighter note, I did find this post about a mystery Idol doing cosplay on the TV Show "Guru Nai". Everyone's saying it's Arin.

Speaking of the other Ayaka, it's so nice to see her back and having fun with Ebichu and meeting the new members 🥲

I loved watching that :heartublob:
Yeah that's Aarin!

There's a mixed bag of news today so I'll start with the bad news. Riko, Kaho and Hinata from Ebichu have been diagnosed with covid.

Hopefully they only get mild symptoms and recover quickly.

In better news Ebichu will be on The First Take again, this time to perform Jump!! I'm really happy they get to perform that song.

Tokisen will release a new EP/single on the 29th of September called Sukisukisukisukisukisuki (Suki 6 times). They released new artist visuals/concept photos:

I'll also add Aarin and Shiori for Maquia

I love Ebichu's new costumes!!! Looks like they're only just starting to release the pics, but I was able to find some high res versions.

*Edit: I found an even higher res version of the first pic, so I'm putting it in spoilers.

Oof, that's too bad about Riko, Kaho, and Hinata. Luckily, the Stardust members who've been diagnosed since the pandemic started haven't suffered serious symptoms. Take care of yourselves, girls.

I've been loving the first take videos! I like the series in general, but in this case Ebichu get to show why they're so highly regarded among Idol groups. It's also the perfect way to welcome back Ayaka :heartublob:

I would imagine TokiSen went with that title for the EP to take advantage of the success "Suki!" is having on the charts.

I've updated the thírd post to include information about more Stardust Planet groups! It's starting to get a bit long so I might split it into more posts so I can include more information for each group. At the same time I'm checking out Rock A Japonica's music. I never bothered before since they're already disbanded but their singles aren't bad and Takokan Rock A Japonica is catchy



Anyway now for some music updates/upcoming releases summary:
Ebichu and Reni will release music this month. Ebichu are releasing their first song as 9, "Earphone Riot" with a MV and Reni is releasing her first solo album "Reni-chan World"! Both will release on the 18th.
B.O.L.T will release their second album "Attitude" on September 1.
Tokisen's mini album releases on September 29.
Amefurasshi announced that they'll release their first nationwide single "Sensitive" on November 3.
Momoclo album around winter.

And finally today is Crown Pop's 6th anniversary

The front row seat prices for their performance next week are 910 USD :whaaat:

I love the outfits too :heartublob:
There were some more infections, namely Kanako, Mirei and Nonoka (new Ebichu member). The other groups seem to be spared so far.

First teaser for Momoclo's 2nd "Za Tokubetsu Kouen" (Special Performance). It's mainly to promote the lottery for their Angel Eyes fan club to win seats at the event. Part 1 is a Musical, and Part 2 seems to be a pure singing performance.




I also found a nice high res photo of the poster.

Stopping by quickly for a Silent Siren themed news drop:

Silent Siren's Sumire wrote the lyrics for Tokisen's Love Nano from their upcoming EP.



I also found former Rock A Japonica member Yamauchi Ami on twitter:

Her sister Aina is in Silent Siren

Amefurasshi's Yuzuki also started a twitter account, I think this is the first personal twitter account from a Stardust Planet idol


She even spelled her name wrong :pandafrozen:

Moeka and Hana also followed her to twitter

Reni held a 24 hour live stream ahead of the release of Reni-chan World! It can be seen split into about a dozen videos on Youtube. I managed to watch the end when Shiori appeared :shablob:
The highlight there was when they had a call from "Kaho-chan" which I thought was Ebichu's Kobayashi Kaho but was a devoted Shiori oshi who had been active during the stream. When Shiori entered the stream with about 1 and a half hour left (it looks like she came from Folkmura) the stream suddenly became very loud :iwillfightyou:



Momoclo will also be on the cover of the next issue of Brody magazine
1107224524_main_el.jpg


It will be a 30 page special! Aarin and Kanako couldn't be on the cover since they were sick but they were there in spirit through their dolls. The issue will also have the first interview with Aarin after her discharge from hospital.

Finally tomorrow will have 2 new MVs, Ebichu's Earphone Riot and Reni's Voyage!

I watched that video, but didn't know what brought about the collaboration. I remember there was a wave of collabs about 5 years ago among female Idol groups. There seems to be a resurgence over the past year.

Amefurasshi's Yuzuki also started a twitter account, I think this is the first personal twitter account from a Stardust Planet idol


She even spelled her name wrong :pandafrozen:

Moeka and Hana also followed her to twitter





I wish more Stardust Idols were on twitter. C'mon,

This is kind of amazing. Shiori and Reni get 30 pages all to themselves :fab: In addition to the dolls, Reni's jacket looks like it's half pink. I wonder if that means Shiori's is half red.

I absolutely love Earphone Riot! It's such a great summer song and a great first release as 9 members. Everything came together perfectly; the song, the costumes/uniforms, the MV. It makes a huge statement that Ebichu is back!

Just a few quick pics.

They posted this in their YouTube community section. I didn't notice it in the promotional pics, but they've gone back to using student numbers again. They're using roman numerals this time. The new members are 13, 14, and 15.

For some reason I've been getting a ton of recommendation for Hinata videos and I thought I'd share some of them. I didn't realize Ebichu's official channel posted so many vids of her solo concert from earlier this year.










So powerful!!!​

With twitter images not working on H+ anymore I can't find good photos of Shachi's new artist photo. All I'm getting is this
large_TEAM_SHACHI_%E6%B5%85%E9%87%8EEP_A%E5%86%99_S.jpg



:iwillfightyou:

Ok that's not really true because the photo on the official site works but it will change whenever they change artist photo so it's going to be misleading sooner than later

That's the best photo of Nao I've ever seen.

I suppose I can post the tweets


Individual photos


They will also release an EP soon with song remakes

The first 2 photos don't show up for me :palcry:
The chorus is really nice, I could do without the rap but maybe it will grow on me

Today was "Stardust day" at the At Jam idol festival!


Kanako and Aarin were back with Momoclo!



Ayaka returned to stage for Ebichu alongside the new members (Riko couldn't attend due to poor physical condition)

small



Crown Pop, ukka, BOLT and Amefurasshi also appeared!





Ukka even got to perform on the main stage at Yokohama Arena. Amefurasshi's Hana hasn't been able to attend events for a while now so they're only 3.
JA Namie, Aarin and Reni all also performed.


Shachi and Batten performed yesterday
