S/mileage name change officially announced
ANGERME. Clearly supposed to have something to do with angels judging by the logo but the spelling just never quite made it.
The new name is so hilarious that I actually love it. I fully intend to capitalize it every single time for extra pizzazz.
Anyway, single will be out 2/4 so look forward to that.

No. Everytime I see this I just screw "ANGER ME" which is what it is doing. Any word on how it is actually pronounced? I will still most likely call them Smileage.

Angel-me is the pronunciation.

At least at the beginning I'll do the same as you will.
It sounds weird to me.. Maybe it'll be better when I'll be used to it.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
If you follow their social media you'll get used to it fast because they've changed the name on everything. 2nd gen blog is now ANGERME_amerika. And no one can tell me that's not amazing.

What the hell? ANGER ME was going to be the name of Momochi's group when she left Berryz...

My god, they mean Angel-me, not Anger-me, right? Right?
The name sounds so M.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
Judging how groups in H!P generally work, I doibt s/mileage's group theme is really going to change. The name is hilarious, much better than MM's names.

Damn, I've been out of the S/mileage loop for a while, haven't I? I thought there were only six girls in the group. There are three here I don't recognize. Where did they come from? The one on the far right on the bottom looks like a much prettier version of Ayaka.
It took some effort, but at least I'm able to recognize the six I know.
The name change stinks. Looks like I just might stay out of the loop.

Katakana is アンジュルム, or ANJURUMU. Which makes even less sense.
I don't know what were they thinking, but either way it's all around hilarious and amusing.

Also I think that they thought it was French judging by how it's written and they got screwed over by no one being able to romanize it.
New logo! Why don't the other groups have logos?

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
Apparently Kana was the one who chose the name, so you can blame her. I would have guessed Rinapuu, because her trolling ability is becoming legendary.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
The name is amazing and I love it. Seriously, though, it could be worse. Isn't there a Stardust group called Takoyaki Rainbow?
The girls all look really nice in the profile shots. Except for Rikako's hair.

Yes, and Takoyaki Rainbow are exactly as good as their name suggests right now lol
Nakajima Takui is writing their next single. New name, new composer (this time at least).

Kanon shared her thoughts on the end of S/mileage. It's very touching, and everyone should read it.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
I hated the name at first since I could only see ANGERME and such, but now, I don't really care. The meaning behind the name is pretty, I just think the romanization was unfortunate. Angerme would call a BIT less attention to the whole ANGER + ME thing.
I really like the logo, and Fukuda's blog post was really touching and heartfelt.

Embarrassing. Disaster.
S/mileage was dead when Maeda and Saki left. This is just shooting a thousand more nails into the coffin.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
Apparently Kana came up with the name, and it's a French word. You can read more on H!P wiki (can't link there on my phone).

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
All I can think about is Anne Germain, a british medium that used to be on spanish TV years ago...
ANGERME was proposed by second generation member Nakanishi Kana, and comes from a combination of the French words for angel (ange) and tear (larme).
That basically explains why there is a tear on the A

Hey
Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
When I read the news I just went "what the..." because... what.
But after reading the explanation I kind of like it.
I'm gonna miss the S/mileage name though.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
It's kind of hilarious because wasn't their first indies single named 'Little Devil'? And now they're on the other side, haha.
okay I guess I was thinking of something else when I was looking at Ama no Jaku. I'm tired ok
Still ... SPELL CHECK IS YOUR FRIEND. :( I'm probably gonna slip and still keep calling them S/mileage for a while.

This name sounds so agressive I don't like it.
The logo is cute though...
I'll still call them S/mileage.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
I googled around and found a supposedly French word, "Angelum"... maybe that was what they were aiming for? They seriously need to hire a stupid English checker to veto stupid English words they use.
Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
Like Al mentioned, Kana came up with it and it's supposed to be Angel Lame. Hence the tear logo.

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
The Angel Larme explanation does make the name sound better, but still ANGER ME...

Re: S/mileage name change officially announced
I realized it's easier if you look at it like ANGE-RME. Anju-rumu. I wish it was like ANGE涙 or just all in katakana アンジュルム. But they don't really even use S/mileage and just use スマイレージ so hopefully the same thing happens. I guess now they are Ange or Anju for short (like Suma).

ANGERME sounds like some sort of metal group. Not like an angel tears group.
