If Bees Listened To Music, They Would Choose These Artists - Hachimitsu Emporer (蜂蜜★皇帝) / Le☆Miel (ミエル) - New Age Idols Spotlight

Image
For the month of December, I wanted to spotlight a couple of artists that have been an impact on me for a few months.  They also have left an impact on the city of Gifu, Japan as well. One group does Fairytale Rock while the other performs Sweet Pop. When you combine them you get sweet satisfaction.  Bee-lieve me, they are both really good groups that shine brightly for the world to see.  As you can tell, this hasn't been updated since December 2020. The original article was pretty beefy but things have changed since then. Some members have come and gone, as well as some new releases. So in August 2021, I went back into the hive to share the information I had learned. Will you join me again on this journey inside the honeycomb (last one, I swear)? Group Information Both of these groups are from Gifu, Japan and if you don't know where that is, here is a handy dandy location. If you google Gifu, it looks pretty stunning! I want to go there to see the area as well as these g...

All the members of the group have at one time or another been in the entertainment industry. At the crossroads of their entertainment future, they decided to come together as id...

Combining Rock With Fun Personalities - TA Joshi (TA女子) - New Age Idols Spotlight

Image
This article is going to be a fun one indeed.  May I proudly introduce you to one of my favorite groups, TA Joshi (TA女子) / Toriaezu Atsumatta Joshi / Girls who are gathered for now Whilst doing some research on the group, I noticed that there are no English sources of information regarding them. I was quite surprised to be honest. I had the luxury of watching them perform live back in December 2019 when I visited Tokyo. I will detail that experience and the others I have had later in the article.  First and foremost, let me introduce the group and the members themselves.  Group Information The group was formed in 2016 with a total of eight members but currently sits at five as of August 2021.  They are currently under the agencies Artifact Music and J-Beans.  The group held their first one-man live on October 22nd, 2017. If you go look back at the video of the concert, you can see how much they have grown since then.  Their second one-man live was held on h...
