Minami Sengoku and Up Up Girls: Few more recent happenings....




 Still not too sure what the future will hold for Up Up Girls after the two graduations that will take place on Friday. They do have a subgroup of five members so perhaps one or two of them will get promoted, they do have many activities planned for the next month or so.
 Up Up Girls are only so-so popular here and you can say the same thing about them in Japan. To me the songs they've put out the last five years are some of the more upbeat and enjoyable J-Pop tunes, guess talent sadly doesn't man everything. "(Kari) wa Kaesuze Be your Soul" was the group's 17th single and it was released on April 9, 2014.
 The single hit #17 on the charts which was their first single to hit the top twenty. This song for today is the A-side which like their other tunes a superb one though admit the B-sides "Jumper" and "Party!Party! were almost as good or better.


 Yesterday UUG performed a concert with ANGERME at Tokyo's Zepp Diver City. They have some other event soon with ANGERME, perhaps a wrestling match or something like that. Both groups did mini shows of their own but also did some duets and a few songs with all of the members.







 Not really sure why Minami is graduating from UUG, she's 26 now so perhaps she's hit that age where most Idols tend to move on to a different career plus she's been in H!P groups for over a decade now. She will be starring in a play that will be opening in December plus she's in a film coming out this Saturday, more on that below and these are some recent Instagram and blog pics.









 Minami's first photobook will be coming out this Friday which is her graduation day. There's going to be a fan signing session for it on September 24th and surprised it's so far after the book's release. This PB promises to be the #1 book of the year, it'll probably be Minami's last book too and these are some advance pics for it which certainly leave us all breathless....








 Those are some ultra fine pics, easy to see why Minami has an exellent chance of finishing in the top spot on this year's top faves list. This weekend will be quite busy for her as the PB is coming out, Friday is also her graduation day and she'll be in a film titled "Gekijouban Hontou ni atta Kowai Hashi 2017" coming out in Saturday. It's a horror film in three parts, Minami will be in the second segment and finally a trailer of the film has been released.

  2. As much as I may like Rika or Shizuka no female leaves me as breathless as Minami does. That is Nene and she was also in at least one other horror film when she was with Nogi, at the time she left she was one of my fave members.
