S☆G (EI) Part 2

Yasaka Saori is the leader of SUPER☆GiRLS! I like her name, but down the road came up with Saruchan! She sings pretty well and has a nice voice that doesn't wow me, but is still appealing. As leader she has the most solos in the TIF performance (three overall), which isn't really a surprise. I'd like to hear better from her, but I'll have just have to wait and see! Saori sounds adorable when talking though, like her "minna-san gambawa" right before introductions. She's cute and seems to have a good personality, I'd like to see how she does as leader.

OMG does Sayumi of Momusu have a little sister or something?! Maeshim Ami really reminds me of her!! She's the youngest in the group (only 12) and is utterly kawaii! I can't resist making her pink, like Sayu. She sometimes ends her blog as 'Amita' and thus I am going to call her Amitayu! She doesn't get a lot of camera time early on, but does more so towards the end. And she's darling in her interview!!

S☆G (EI) Part 1

The first group to perform on stage at TIF2010 was SUPER☆GiRLS! I spent some time yesterday and tonight doing my homework on them (lol) and I've actually had a good time doing so. Sakura Gakuin has captured my heart, but I'm still happy to get around the idol-group world a bit.

There is quite a bit of negativity when it comes to this group, because their name is a little lame. It was also SNSD's old name. And it also reminds me of Super Junior. On top of that SG wants to top AKB48, which has got said group's fans buzzing. But though I've read some of the negative comments, I'm ignoring them and giving these girls a go!

A lot of the decisions that are made for singing groups are by the higher-ups and management, the singers often have no choice in things (like what their group will be named). I bet the girls in SUPERGIRLS are simply happy at the chance to sing and experience!

Here is their official website, including profiles and other fun stuff. Another thing about me doing this blog, is that I'm spending more time on Japanese websites than I ever have. I'm getting better at navigating them!! Anyways, I took the above pics from SUPERGIRLS' profile page, except I switched the order around.

GOTO AYA! and RUKA! and RINO! They are my current faves! So that's they're at the top. I really like Hikaru too. It took me a bit to tell Saori, Hikaru, and Rika apart in their performance and so I'm wishywashy on how much I like them at the moment. The order I have the girls in isn't definite, just sort of an outline of my current likes, less-likes and undecided.

Sakura Gakuin (EI)

Gah I'm already crazy addicted to Sakura Gakuin. I adore so many of the girls, and I'm only just getting to know them. Because SG's Yume ni Mukatte is the main thing I have to go by, I've watched and listened to it dozens upon dozens of times. I've also watched the introductions the girls gave at TIF, to try and get a hint of their personalities.

Ayami and Suzuka I already love from their part in Karen Girl's. But in SG Ayami really emerges as a leader. She's the first one to speak and is also the first to solo. I think she is going to get a lot of the spotlight, but hopefully not too much. On a side note, she's really pretty, and I love that she's the oldest and yet the shortest out of the four senior girls.

Way back when I first listened to Karen Girl's I had no idea who was who and just sort of settled for liking them all, lol. But now I find myself really loving Suzuka! Her solo performance of Asu e no tobira is amazing. She's really fun and a great singer! I do like Ayami a lot too, but I not as much as Suzuka right off the bat.
