EMPiRE were guests at the first AYAKARNIVAL, a concert organized by Momoiro Clover Z's Sasaki Ayaka (aka Arin). In addition to their set, EMPiRE collaborated with Arin on a rendition of MAD LOVE as well as a song featuring all the groups invited (=LOVE and a sub-unit of SKE48 were the other 2 guests)



Slightly different group pic with Arin.



Here's a few short clips from the perf of MAD LOVE.











I forgot to mention this. I was looking through Meme Tokyo's twitter feed and it looks like they're still selling photo cards of the missing member. Maybe she had a previous commitment and couldn't be part of these promotions.


I tried looking for videos of EMPiRE's performances and this is what I could find:

S.O.S


MAD LOVE


nice, her collab with EMPiRE is great

also i'm glad to see mayu, she missed some concerts because she was sick but seems well now :sanapray:

  • to make it to the singles list you would need to sell 80k/90k+
  • to make it to the albums list you would need to sell 60k/70k+

btw "are you ready?" sold 100k+ and got a gold certification because it, since both "brand new parade" and "kind people" are close they may be getting one soon
and BiSH have 7 of the most downloaded albums :ohmygod:

Pour lui announced that she is starting her own music company and plans to debut a group called "Idol Kenkyuujo" (but she is not part of the group!)

watanabe is helping with funding and the company is going to be a subsidiary of wack





pour lui is also going to release a solo album "Minna no Pour Lui II", it was produced by watanabe and kenta

Mameshiba no taigun members changed their stage names



ENMZI8fW4AAsP2G

this year auditions were announced



the camp advisors:

chitti
usagi tsukino
midoriko
chantmonkey
uruuru
nao

all wagg members are free to enter the auditions,

since wagg are holding their own auditions aside, they are probably looking for new BiS and GANG PARADE members

semi offtopic but @neverisidol deleted their twitter, they were some of the few wack translators (a lot of the groups translations where theirs)

they are also the owners of wackisidol

Kamiya Saki graduating is a huge deal. It's really the end of an era. She goes all the way back to the original BiS and was the first person Watanabe signed to WACK. I'm going to miss her :cry:

I'm beginning to dread the training camps. They used to be fun (to a point), but after last year, waiting to find out the big announcement is just too much :eek:

I'm not too surprised that the @neverisidol closed their account. It's not uncommon for translators to get very invested in their work for a year or two before other things come up and they have no time for it. I used to do a decent amount of WACK translations before I went back to school. It's something I want to get back into, but my time is so limited, I have to choose carefully what projects I work on. If my Japanese was better it would make things easier.

I wanted to post something real quick about CY8ER. Rinahamu is a former BiS member, so as an alumni I'm making an exception. Their major debut album just came out digitally the other day. I didn't realize that it's just called "Tokyo". The concept is "Neo Kawaii in Tokyo 2020". That's a much better title than "Tokyo", lol.

"Restart" passed 10m views (second to do so, just after BiSH's promise the star)





watanabe on Mameshiba no taigun



Do you really like Mameshiba no taigun? Isn't that so? It is a must see. If you do not come to Tawareko, cancel your WACK affiliation. I would rather be independent w Kuro-chan

would he dare? :doge:

it sucks since saki is my favorite gang parade member... and i thought january was going to be safe from graduations :tears:

thinking about it, saki was only a temporary member but she never when back after the trade ended

this year auditions are probably going to be a mess



The WACK joint audition is coming in terribly, but I wonder if it's a bit off the standard I choose


last year auditions were ruined by the death of bis so this year they can't be as bad

If my Japanese was better it would make things easier.

she posted about wanting to delete her twitter because the hate she was getting from some fans, i really don't get why people do this sort of thing, way to ruin it for everyone

sometimes i think about learning japanese but it would take me 50 years :doge:

i forgot about their major label debut, i'm going to check the album later,

i'm really hoping this is their breakthrough

and mashilo and yammy are 30 and 33 :ohmygod:

vampires? :doge:
