It's also a possibility that the screenshot is fake. Although with her missing events and stuff, it wouldn't make the most sense.

Fuuuuuu..... If Uta leaves, that'll really hurt Country Girls in multiple ways. She'll be like Yuukarin 2.0. As with everyone else, I hope it's not true. Just imagine if she passed 12ki audition, and then had to leave MM. That would be a big loss, too.

Either way she seemed well-liked by both fans and members, so it'd be a shame to see her go.

C-ute on Music Station! Rejoice!!!

Why did they perform such an old song?

Anderei · Post by **Anderei** » Fri Jun 12, 2015 2:22 pm

Who knows, but it's hard to complain when they're still not really relevant enough for an appearance at all.

Shoujo Q · Post by **Shoujo Q** » Fri Jun 12, 2015 4:08 pm

It worked. Look at the MV ranking right now for Rekochoku. C-ute's at #5 and #33 for two songs. They've never been that high ever.

It's so weird how a performance on Music Station from an H!P has become all but unheard of. It's a shame they didn't perform Tsugi no Kado wo Magare, I feel like it has more mainstream appeal. It totally sounds like it could be an anime op. Crazy Kanzen na Otona is actually one of my favorite songs from them, but I don't think it has much crossover appeal to non-idol fans.

Did anyone else think Airi sounded a biiiit off from usual?

momoirosaya · Post by **momoirosaya** » Fri Jun 12, 2015 6:38 pm

Maybe she was having an off day.

This is random but brown hair suits her really well, and she looks even cuter lately!

This was like, a day after their arena concert. It's a wonder they are all still up and running after that.

Jesus, there are a lot of dinosaurs on those lists. Utada Hikaru? Namia Amuro? Yuki? And fucking aiko at no. 1! I'm actually shocked that Ayumi Hamasaki isn't on it.

And probably better than half of the dudes that comprise the Male Groups list are eligible for retirement benefits, or within a few years of it. The past ten years has been a pretty sad decade for Jpop.

Farrah · Post by **Farrah** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:14 pm

A lot of j-pop fans get pissy at those of us who have started paying more attention to Korean music, but the simple matter of it is, Japanese music has been pretty stale lately. In middle school and early high school, I'd say at least 70% of the music I purchased was imported from Japan. I've only bought one Japanese album this year. Japanese music sales have been down for the last few years as well, despite piracy staying at around the same level, so it seems like the general public is a bit bored right now too.

There is still good music coming out of Japan, but the charts have been so warped by things like bulk-buying that it's harder for artists that don't build that kind of fandom to become mainstream. I feel like ten years ago, you saw so much more variety in the type of artists topping Oricon. Hikki, Ayu and Kumiko are all but irrelevant and I feel like no one has really taken their place because so many labels are focusing on putting out one type of artist or group.

Aiko is frequently on Music Station and Namie chugs out like one album a year and still brings in fairly high sales. It's not surprising to see them on it.

Wasn't like 2007 the beginning of the idol war and the end of the soloists?

There a couple of newer somewhat popular soloists out, but they don't sell nearly as well as groups do so companies are less likely to take chances on them.

Anderei · Post by **Anderei** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:57 pm

The digital charts are dominated by soloists. There's still plenty of them out there, they're just not getting a lot of love physically. Makes sense. Physical albums in Japan aren't exactly a steal.

momoirosaya · Post by **momoirosaya** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:15 pm

^Yeah I meant physical sales, I should have been more clear.

Don't artists make less through iTunes and Rekochoku though than physical sales?

<div>You're kind of making my point for me, though. Where is the new blood? I would expect such lists to include a couple of 35 - 50 year old singers on it, not to be dominated by them. Both of the male lists are worse than the solo female list by a fair margin, too. There are only three guys on the solo list who are under the age of 40 and two who are over 50. If the list remains the same in 2016, it will include a 60 year old (Keisuke Kuwata).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's like the girl-group idol boom has choked everything else out the past five years or so, and a general Jpop decline for five years before that. It says a lot about the industry that talent from the late 90s is still dominating every list except for girl groups. These are people whose best work is years behind them, but there is no apparently alternative if you want new music by talented singers.</div>

The indies scene has plenty of awesome singers and bands, but they never get a chance to break out.

momoirosaya · Post by **momoirosaya** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 11:02 pm

For male soloists I think Takahashi Yuu is pretty popular, and he's newer. His first single was back in 2010 (or was it 2011?).

Morning Musume'15 DVD Magazine Vol. 73, coincidentally missing the top three vote-getters from the "Who's next to go" thread. Looks like you people got what you wanted.

[spoiler2]
Yes, I'm aware that they're not there because they're not taking part in the musical.
[spoiler2]
Those three are also the three that I voted for in that thread.

So this is from Hello Pro Radio translations. And apparently this is something Sakura said to Kanon.

"2. “Suzuki-san, please don’t run away,” Around the time that Sakura said it, Kanon had to sit out at concerts and rehearsals due to her foot injury. Sakura came up to her at some point and said “Don’t run away” which Kanon simply thought was amusing."

I may be projecting but it sounds like Sakura was worried Kanon would leave the group and didn't want her to.

I always feel like the timing of the lines are off on this song. Always.
