April 23, 2011
By Ray under Blogs, Pop Idols

[Featured Post」~13 years after…Princess Princess still Japan’s greatest female band~.

As mentioned in the last article, here’s MB’s very comprehensive post on Princess Princess, revived from Vox with all the media you can possibly hope for. A great way to immerse yourself in this wonderful group – and if you’re liking what you see and hear, why not bid on the item MB herself has put up for sale in the charity auction? A great slice of history, a great Jpop band, a great cause – you can’t go wrong!

Everything is housed very pretty in a clear outer slip case and each individual disc is in picture labeled sleeves. This set is second hand and was originally won on Yahoo!Japan Auctions. All discs are in perfect shape although the booklet and casing do show aging wear and slight discoloration to the clear outer sleeve.

A great addition to your Jpop collection! This auction item available only in United States and Canada.

And here is MB herself, from her excellent write-up on her auction offerings:

To commemorate a most accomplished~full~circle and legendary career in music, Princess Princess (often called Puri Puri) first released an all inclusive song box set in June of 1996. Sony Music proudly and respectfully placed so much attention to detail and presentation for this limited edition release as this complete 120 song set comes housed in an outer slip case which is beautifully imaged with the girls while 7 discs each presented in individual picture labeled sleeves sit in a high quality binder…..you simply don’t see many releases with such a high quality presentation today and every set is serial numbered further making it special, this set is # 31134. This set also includes a 96 page booklet with photos and complete song lyrics. This LE set is second hand as I won it on Yahoo! Japan auctions several years ago used and while the booklet and outer casing show signs of aging the disc binder and each disc are in immaculate condition~. An amazing song collection for any Puri Puri fan or any J~rock enthusiast! For more on Princess Princess see: “13 years after…Princess Princess still Japan’s greatest female band~.”

Rough Draft: Notes From Berryz Koubou’s Q&A panel IN AMERICA Seattle

Straight from Pata, information from the QA panel with Berryz. I liked Chinami’s answers best, though it’s nice to also see some love for Amuro Namie expressed.

Former Candies member Tanaka Yoshiko dies at 55 (Tokyograph)

It was only a couple months ago that yonasu did such a wonderful write-up on this 1970s idol group, so the news of this death had an impact on me. If you have a moment, go back to yonasu’s posts and see just how great Candies were.

AKB48 Joining a-nation Tenth Anniversary Tour

By Ray under News, Pop Idols

10th a-nation tour includes AKB48 alongside top Avex artists (Tokyograph)

The DiVA connection seems to be the impetus for this, though I’m sure it doesn’t help that AKB are one of the hottest acts in Japan right now. Hopefully, an announcement will clarify which members of AKB will be on the tour line-up.

On a different note, it would be great if two more Avex acts – After School and Amuro Namie – were also added to the schedule. They could do “Make It Happen” together live!
