Some ad-driven publishing company did a one-week survey of over 18 y/o women. 1200 participated. The question was "who was happiest in the first half of 2012".
Among female artists MomoClo came 3rd because they're "cute and interesting" [which has nothing do with happiness!?], closely followed by AKB because they're very popular, get to work in all kinds of locations, and have their own style and outlook.
This is a spoiler for today's episode, which I couldn't get my hands on yet.
Apparently the fictional agency made a deal for a single trial episode with the fictional idols. Except that it'll actually be broadcast, with MomoClo playing UFI (though for some reason Momoka doesn't wear her blond wig)
^that's related to the show Akarin was in right? was also called (or subtitled) with UFI... long shot, but, was this ever subbed.. hell, even raws uploaded?, i could only find 1-2 eps on youtube way back.
Has anybody seen Momo+dra? I am waiting for ages to find it on YT or anywhere else. I understand that there was a time it would be streamed on a TV site. I don't know if I am right.
Girl's Factory My Japanese is truly awful so maybe I'm completely wrong, but it seems as if Momokuro and miwa performed two songs together at last night's show - miwa's "haru ni nattara" and momokuro's "wani to shampoo!"
Those with actual command of the Japanese language feel free to chime in.
And I think momokuro's setlist was something like Push>Roudou Sanka>Contradiction>Otome Sensou>Mugen no ai>Mirai Bowl>Chai Maxx>Hashire>Tsuyoku Tsuyoku>D's no junjou>Kono uta.
Also seems like Goto Mariko was her usual crazy self, although I am not exactly sure what this entailed.
Does anyone know if this was/will be broadcast? I have some level of interest in almost everyone on the bill.
Gotou asked the people who were there for MomoClo to raise their hands: "But that's practically everybody!? You can all go home! ... Just joking".
During the performance she kinda lifted her skirt so the Mononofu could see better.
At the end she jumped off the stage into the middle of the Mononofu block, stole somebody's merchandise hat, put it on and started singing again. So they called Marikooo (like Kanako).
This time some MomoClo fans may have been taken over instead of the usual other way round.
