EDIT: more :
I think I posted a video of this group some while ago, it's called Gesu no Kiwami Otome. I just love their funky-bluesy-style <3. Just saw this one.

Warning to some fans of Team Syachihoko regarding their 'ambushing:' Please stop

Management of 6-member Nagoya-resident idol unit Team Syachihoko stated on their official website on the 7th, "We ask that you would please stop" regarding the incidents of some fans ambushing the members on their way to school and near their homes.

"Due some individuals waiting around their schools and homes, even inside and around nearby train stations, the members as well as their families have informed us that they are concerned," explained the website. They stated, "Because this causes problems for other students, neighbors, and other people in the area, as well as providing the possibility of trouble or an incident, we ask that you would please stop this."

Should the troublesome actions continue after this, they asked for understanding: "There is also the possibility that it will affect their activity as Team Syachihoko," and, "So that we can carry on enjoyably as Team Syachihoko, we sincerely ask for your understanding and cooperation in this matter."

The twins Zony and Yony, popular online for dancing to "Bar Bar Bar", have released an album (under the same agency as Da Xiao Jie/Frances & Aiko). An adorable, adorable album.

Said album includes their own cover of "Bar Bar Bar".

Golden Bomber wants to put an end to ‘CD bonuses’ with ‘Rola no Kizudarake’

Golden Bomber will be releasing new single ‘Rola no Kizudarake‘ on August 20 and has revealed the PV through their YouTube channel.

With this single, Golden Bomber seeks “specialization in music”.
This is an experiment for the band – the CD will come with a plain white jacket cover and include none of those bonuses that have been popular in the past couple of years.

Member Kiryuin expressed on his blog his pessimism towards the industry trend where “the cost of CDs include bonuses to coerce fans into buying them for the additional perks and not the music itself, with the song ending up as a bonus in the CD.”

For Golden Bomber, he put forth his intention of putting a stop to these multiple versions, handshake events and randomized cards that come with CDs, wanting to sell just the music and nothing extra.
He hopes other groups see the harm and follow suit.

Last I heard Golden Bomber got to keep most of the revenue from their sales, appearances, performances, and karaoke use of their songs because they continue to be independent and hold direct rights; and seeing as they're at the peak of their popularity and have already made quite a lot for themselves it doesn't seem like a huge risk for them.

I can see how businesses, especially smaller ones, might not be as keen on trying it.
