AKIHABARA Backst←→age pass

[rallyleo]

AD Nagisa has one of the biggest advantages in the group by sticking out like a sore thumb, but not in a bad way at all. She's just the awkward "unattractive" girl that owns everything she's got. I love it and she's probably the main person most people (especially international fans) will pay attention to.

[Haru]

She embraces that though and it's gonna stand out to a lot of fans as you said, mostly the girls who want to be an idol but don't feel pretty enough to etcetc (I think Japanese fans may also feel this way?)

[Anderei]

I think whoever worked on the Golden Chinatown covers may have had something to do with one of these. Also limited D is literally less than five bucks on CD Japan so if you end up liking the song enough it is a steal:

Where the eff can I find all of their discography to download?!

 
This shit is impossible to find :(

[Anderei]

Their name is actually Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome. Maybe searching with the name will have better results?
 

[kira]

So, that's just the people on the cover, right? That's not who's singing in each version?

[Anderei]

Yeah, it's just who is on each cover. The a-side is sung by the girls on the regular edition. I have no idea about the two b-sides, although I'm guessing the one on the regular edition is done by the main girls and all the girls on the other covers sing in the other one.
 
Edit: Larger covers (not HQ though. The amazon ones are no better than these)
 
Regular:

 
Limited A

 
Limited B

 
Limited C

 
Limited D

 

[pandapanda]

...so incredibly lame...

[Haru]

^ Yes, but you work it, Nagisa!

[showraniy]

I'm sorry, but that girl in the middle of the front row in Lim C is cracking me up. She looks constipated. And glasses girl (is that Nagisa?) is doing the best poses; I'm tempted to say she's trolling.

[Haru]

^ Yeah, that's her. She might get it because she's a huge H!P fan and watches how they pose the girls. In a couple shots she reminds me of Nakky actually.

[Anderei]

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... H9uA">They perform their new song at 1:56.</a>

[Anderei]

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... ">Bishoujo Mokushiroku MV (Short ver.)</a>
 
Also I've <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?b4x7xb8troeik">uploaded their second indies single here</a> in case anyone wants it. Both the a-side and b-side are included.

[YuuakuRisa]

I'm surprised how much I like it, the capes threw

Me off. This is actually a really decent song.

[Shoujo Q]

Bishoujo Mokushiroku debuted at #4. 
 
Also, <a href="http://youtu.be/MFzacwEhAno">here's</a> some footage from the live event. AD Nagisa is the best thing ever. 

[Elpis]

Nagisa XD

[rallyleo]

Er... Can somebody tell me why she was slapping those men?? XD

[Anderei]

They ranked 6, with 22,253 copies.

[Anderei]

Not their most recent single, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY51ahmUZjM">but they performed Baito Fighter on Music Dragon.</a>
 
<a href="http://akihabarabackstagepass.wikia.com ... i_Miki">It turns out Yaguchi's sister was a member for a short amount of time.</a>
 
And to keep the releases rolling, their next single "Oh my destiny" will be released 11/20. <a href="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_code ... 1050">Five versions, with one being only 476 yen.</a>

A lot of the same girls from last time.
 

[Elpis]

They're the members of Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome. They're the official group some of the backstage pass members are apart of.

[Anderei]

I know who they are, but if you compare to the lineup for the last single, a few of those girls aren't present for this. It's an AKB48-esque thing where they rotate a few girls in and out for the a-side and the b-sides. Almost everyone who works in the cafe is a member of the musical group too.

[Shoujo Q]

They get put on the single depending on how well they do in the cafe, other girls are put there by mangement. So it's a win win for everyone. <3

[Shoujo Q]

A music video preview is out for BM's newest single. Oh My Destiny.  It's very different from their last few, they actually went outside and it's more laid back idol music.
 
Here's the page to see the covers and what's on each single.

[Elpis]

That was a pretty laid back song. I was expecting something cooler with the titles they had but its still good.

[Anderei]

They're releasing an album on the 29th. It's called (1) The Produce.

[rallyleo]

I may have to buy this...

[Anderei]

It's a pretty good deal. Decent covers (excluding B in my opinion) AND its mostly new material? It's a rarity.

[rallyleo]

Here's a CM that previews some of the new songs on the album:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNKhkxPAd0M
 
I'm pretty excited, you guys.

[Anderei]

Album ranked number 18 with 5,390 copies. Which is actually much better than I thought it would do, honestly. Been trying to find a download but I haven't been successful.

[Anderei]

Did you forget about these girls? They're still doing stuff!
 
A new single was announced. Seishun Chronicle / Harinezumi to Jelly Bee to be released on August 27th. Seishun Chronicle was written by Maeyamada. His work that most people here would be familiar with is his MomoClo stuff, but he's done lots of other things too. I'm excited, I think he does idol music very well.
 
The list of the Senbatsu members:
 

• Type A : Hario Arisa, Hirosawa Mai, Asakura Yuri, Aoshima Karen, Sato Shiori, Yodama Rina, Hamaguchi Ranko, Hiromatsu Natsumi, Ichikawa Runa, Ishikawa Fujika, Fujii Runa

• Type B : Hario Arisa, Hirosawa Mai, Asakura Yuri, Kameido Eri, Aikawa Ayano, Takamiya Mei, Horiuchi Kaori, Moroboshi Azuna, Asato Minami, Moeno Azuki, AD Nagisa

The limited edition comes with a DVD with the music video and making-of footage, and a 24-page photo booklet.
It includes a bonus card to use at the Akihabara Backstage Pass maid café.
