I just had to post these new gorgeous pictures of the Sakura Gakuin members xD
I’ve got them from this site: http://www.bijogoyomi.com/bijo3/index.php/2011/03/21
It seems like they have a calendar system, where they add new pictures once every day up until the release date of their first album (March 23th) :D Pretty cool – like a count down xD I already look forward to the pictures tomorrow! ^o^
I will upload new pictures as they appear on the homepage ;)
EDIT: Because of the time difference it’s already the 22nd of March now in Japan, so two new pictures were uploaded ^o^ Wuhuu!
It’s picture with SCOOPERS ^O^
They are so cute! xD ~<3
So tomorrow is the big day! I wonder whose pictures they will upload then (probably an all-member shot ^^) I’m excited! I just wish the album release date hadn’t been postponed (to an unknown date in the future…) Y~Y *cries*
But at least I get this! xD
2nd EDIT: I were right! Today’s photos are group shots ^o^
I like the artistic background ;)
I wonder if there is going to be uploaded more pictures the next days as well? :O I just kind of guessed it was up to the (official) release date, but now the release has been postponed I’m not actually sure. For me, I hope they will upload more pictures (I really like them!), as a kind of replacement for the album, but that’s probably not gonna happen :/
We will see.
Today TOYSFACTORY JP uploaded a CM with Mutou Ayami :D I think it’s for another artist’s album under this lable.
Their name is Sakura Gakuin (Cherry Blossom Academy) and they are a school-themed idol group. There’s a class president and school clubs as special sub-units. They are signed to Toys Factory.
The girls’ ages range between 11 to 14 years and the group debuted in 2010, April (the first month of the school year). So far the group has released one single as a main group (Yume ni Mukatte/Hello! IVY) and one single from one of the sub-unit school clubs, Twinklestars (Dear Mr. Socrates).
School Club units:
Twinklestars
This is the Baton Club :3 (Baton-bu in Japanese)
The group includes all members from Sakura Gakuin, except Suzuka, Airi and Ayaka.
Mini Pati (Mini-Patissier)
This is the Cooking Club~ (Cooking-bu in Japanese)
I really like the school club BABYMETAL, it’s such a hilarious group! Two 11-year-olds and one 13-year-old sings to heavy metal with their super light voices xD It’s so different and funny that I can’t help to love them ♥
I really like the other school clubs too, such as Twinklestars and Mini Pati, but BABYMETAL is definitely my favorite club!
My favorite members are Nakamoto Suzuka and Sugisaki Nene, but I think Suzuka is my number #1 right now ^^
She has such a clear and strong voice ♥
Nakamoto Suzuka
Sugisaki Nene
Here’s a super nice solo performance from Suzuka before she joined Sakura Gakuin:
Here’s a picture from her performance ♥
She’s so pretty~

I’m getting the “Ra” version, as it has extras with BABYMETAL and the new Sakura Gakuin song message PV (which is absolutely love!) Watch it now! xD
I really like the old camera feel and the school setting is so beautiful! The song is also completely different from typical upbeat idol songs, which I like a lot. I really think this group will go far and I’m really looking forward to listen to their new album ^O^
My prayers go to Japan right now >o< I’m so sad these events are happening…
I’m really lucky that so far everyone in H!P, AKB48, Momoiro Clover, Sakura Gakuin and TGS are safe. Phew! I was worried sick when I heard about this catastrophe in the news.
But I’ve heard that some of the Johnny’s Juniors have been injured though, I’m not sure exactly who…
But I know that my precious Arashi is safe (; o ;)
There are so many people to worry about, it’s really horrible. I hope the after quakes wont kill anymore people and wont cause too much damage :(
I pray for you Japan!
Edit: I have just read the creator of Pokemon Tajiri Satoshi is dead because of the tsunami… I’m so sad :’( R.I.P. Tajiri Satoshi. This was a false rumor :O

Buono! 11th single: Zassou no Uta
I’m so happy that Buono is finally back and rockin’. They were inactive for a whole year, so I was very worried the group would disband or die out >o<
So this single is like a miracle from heaven *__* I think all three songs are really great and I especially like Zassou no Uta. JUICY@HEART is cool too, but I just think there something special about this song. It has a completely different sound than their previous songs, so that’s really nice ^^b
I also love love love the PV for this song :D xD
Sakura Gakuin 1st single: Hello! IVY/ Yume ni Mukatte
I have just recently started to know this group, but I already love it so much. I will even admit I think I ordered this single only one day after learning about them xD I think this is a really strong first single, but they are still very unknown. I definitely like Hello! IVY the best, it’s so catchy! They are releasing their first album March the 23th – so maybe people will start noticing them more ^o^
<— I got this cute photo card, as I ordered my copy from HMV. It’s with Raura, Ayami and Nene. I really love these girls :3
I will maybe a post about this group really soon~
Karen Girls’ album: Fly to the Future
I got to know this group, because Suzuka and Ayami from Sakura Gakuin used to be in this group back in 2008 – 09. I really think they did some cool and energetic dance/trance songs and it’s sad such a great idol group had to disband, just because they only did songs for the anime Zettai Karen :(
But anyway this album (which was the only album they got to release) is really great! Even though it only has 7 tracks, I liked all the songs on the album :D Of course the previously released single tracks, Over the Future – MY WINGS – Top Secret, are really good – but I enjoyed the other 4 songs very much too. I think my favorite tracks of the new songs are Kiratto Piratto! Dash Girl’s and Bye! Bye! Bye! ^^
<— I got the Yuika card. Well, I actually wanted Suzuka’s card T-T But I guess I will survive… xD
Berryz Koubou concert:Berryz Koubou Concert Tour 2010 Aki ~BeriKou Fest!~
Two words: AMAZING CONCERT
This concert is a really strong comeback after the Otakebi House concert (a present from my parents for my birhtday), which wasn’t one of their best concerts in my opinion. First I would like to say that choosing Nanchuu Koi wo Yatteruu YOU KNOW? as the opening song, was a really wise choice ^O^ (My favorite Berryz song) *o* And then I would like to say I loved that they choose to perform so many songs from the fourth album (my favorite Berryz album xD) I was also really happy they finally got to perform Kimi no Tomodachi - which was my favorite song on Berryz’s 6th album :3 and MOON POWER ^O^ Fantastic songs.
It was cool – many of the songs were performed in a different way than usual. I especially noticed TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, Gaki Taishou and Rival :O And that Otakebi Boy WAO! performance had so much force – so amazing! XD
Here it is:
Just amazing! *O*
Idol magazine “Next Idol Break!” Vol. 1
I was surprised this magazine was so tiny (just like the YanYan mag) but it still had a lot of cool content ;D It had a lot of pages with Momoclo in their Pinky Jones clothes and Super Girls as one can see on the cover. But there were also pages with Sakura Gakuin, Tokyo Girls’ Style and Passpo :D Yay~ There followed a radio interview with Momoclo and Super Girls on a CD as well :3
Sakura Gakuin photos and fan flag
I really love my Sakura Gakuin flag <3 (Can’t stop swinging it whenever I get the chance ^^) and those photos are really adorable. I have placed them right beside my bed, so every time I wake up I see these lovely smiling girls :)
I got these items from Asmart, if anyone would like to know ^^
6/4 – AKB48‘s second studio album: Title TBA (+DVD) (First Press Limited Special Box)
Yeah I know… I spend too much money on idol stuff. I just can’t help myself, there is being released so much idol music right now, it’s hard not to spend a lot of money xD Haha
They are so cute! xD ~<3
I like the artistic background ;)
