[Sohee]

I did~ Answered it too.

[erilaz]

Did anyone else receive another email asking us to answer a general Japanese music/culture survey?

I actually answered this one. The Morning Musume。one is just too deep and philosophical for me.

I got that email too and I answered it

I was just wondering about that J-Melo MM song thing yesterday.

A few days ago NHK World channel popped up a few days ago on my cable box. At least I can watch J-Melo from now on. And looks like the first episode I'll catch will have Mizuki & Sakura on it. And Wagamama song by the looks of it, according to the J-Melo website.

Does J-Melo show PVs or live performances? All I've ever seen of that show were YouTube clips of MM girls doing various dance styles around Japan.

[erilaz]

^ J-MELO has both live performances and PVs. Sometimes you'll get full songs, sometimes only snippets. Featured guests normally perform full songs live.

Since MM。are in the "Artists" section rather than the "Guest" section of this week's episode description, "Wagamama..." will probably only be a snippet of the PV. But Mizuki and Sakura are almost certainly getting lessons in some form of traditional dance.

Incidentally, for those not fortunate enough to get NHK World on TV, the website has live streaming:

And the J-MELO website will show you broadcast times and who's scheduled to be on the show:

Thanks erilaz.

The newest episode of J-Melo played here on NHK world just now.

Had a segment on C-ute in Paris. About 5min, talking to French fans, a short interview with C-ute, then footage of the mini live.

Also, the regular J-melo segment where fans send in vids of themselves singing Japanese songs, all the song were MM/Buono/BK or Kikkawa.
