Has anyone compiled a list of OG who have returned for the 20th anniversary concerts this year? I know a hand full are pregnant or recently gave birth, but it'd be interesting to see who doesn't show up if they aren't in that category. Also, we have a MKB reunion appearance for the 20th anniversary ...

There will be a Fall concert a la Hina Fest this year for the 20th anniversary. Will be interesting to see if they do the mini units and solos as well. MM and Angerme get their own premiums, but the final one will have H!P OG!!! Right now Melon Kinenbi is set to perform for that concert. Dates are 1...

Holy smokes. Too bad Tsuji is pregnant or we might have seen a reunion ????

Anyone remember that boxset of Ai no Tane to 3rd Love Paradise? It had each individual single with extra tracks, and a bonus karaoke cd for "popular" b-sides and album tracks. That thing was pretty great, and they said they were going to do more, but never did.

Nanami was one of the bottom girls for me while in Country Girls. Didn't mind her, but didn't like her either, but she is really excelling in J=J. Despite sometimes confusing her and Karin now, her new style really makes her more adorable. I was a bit nervous to have her be added to this group, but ...

Could be that most of the petite members are now gone.


Though asthetically, having Sakurako and Ayaka on the ends, and Minami in the middle really balances the group visually.

The leader song is like a progression of my favorite members since 2001/2002. Unfortunately, Yuko was never on the list because I was too young to appreciate her. She always should have been though. ????

I wonder if they will do a rival tour like Cutie Ranger and Berryz Sentai.

Pretty early to be calling it. I imagine there will be more to this list by the time the weekend rolls around.

It was announced on 12/31 that Maho had officially left Angerme. The news got lost in the 2017 news thead. Could someone move the few posts over to this thread?
