The first thing I want to do is update what I wrote about a couple days ago. The Japanese news article I linked about Menkoi Girls didn't specify which festival they were performing at. I did a search and it seems it is the Aki Matsuri Japanese Festival. Now I'm not 100% sure, though. If it's a different festival I will give an update in a future article.
Also, when I did some research for my article about the group NA-NA reuniting, I didn't research enough. It seems that since January 2017 Honda Touko of NA-NA has been singing in another idol group. This group is Colorful Scream, and they have an official video for the song "Sing Bird". Colorful Scream also have some live videos in which the live sound has been replaced with the studio recording of the song! I don't know why they did that, though. Touko's fans should give this one a listen as she seems to be the leader of the group! That's great!
Another idol group that may have slipped by unnoticed is Dream Catcher. Dream Catcher's website was created on March 31, 2017, and a radio show with the group debuted on April 24. But Dream Catcher's live debut was on April 29, 2017. There are five girls in the group and they sing some pretty cute songs. My favorite is the first, "Yami Miyagi". I hope you'll like them! By the way, please don't get Dream Catcher the Japanese idol group confused with a Korean group that has the same name.
PARLISH are back too, but with a new lineup. For the August 3, 2017 performance two members, Deki Hikaru and Tanaka Amo, could not appear. However, four new members made their debut! The names that I have are Karen, Nanami, Morigami Aiko and Yamamoto Rin. Aiko was previously a dancer for SunRisa in 2014 and 2015. I had no idea she had her eye on a PARLISH membership! I have always liked Aiko so I approve of this! Here is my favorite song from the group, "Jump".
Finally I want to share a video for a cute group that's existed for a few years, Twinkle. A couple years ago, at least, they were Twinkle Angel and there were more members of the group. Now Twinkle are a trio of girls named Saki, Sakura and Misaki. This is actually a song they did a video for two years ago, which was sort of a dance practice version. I think the title is "Twinkle Jungle".
I hope you all enjoyed these songs! I do my best to discover some of the best new Japanese idol music and news for those who are looking for groups and music that might normally be overlooked. Thanks again for reading my blog! All of my readers are terrific!
