Oooohhh... New thread. Hopefully, this one will be a bit more lively.

Daisuki Daiiyo, great work with the profiles and pictures, but there's one picture missing from Erica Tonooka's Weekly Playboy pictures.

The reason why Erica Tonooka is the only one I've posted solo pictures of is because I don't really go searching for pictures. All of the pictures I've posted are pictures that I just kind of stumbled upon. Since Erica Tonooka has been appearing in some magazines recently, her pictures have been the easiest to find.

Also, please try to ignore the Gachapin Mukku song. I was hoping that Ponkikki Medley 2007 wouldn't sound too much like a children's song, but it does. Their first single was much, much better than that. I hope they get a new single of their own soon.


I spent some time today editing some of the Idoling!!! articles on wiki.theppn. I really only made significant changes to Sayaka Kato's article. I made some small changes to some of the other members' articles and the main article, but I didn't have time to do any big changes. I'll continue working on them whenever I have some free time.


I'm sure most of you know already, but 2007.10.12, 2007.10.15, and 2007.10.16 are up at Jpopsuki. One thing I've noticed in the 10.15 and 10.16 episodes: Rumi Koizumi keeps on coughing and clearing her throat. Hmm...

Ah sorry I was doing them all simultaneously. I'll fix it!

But really, thank you for all of her solo pictures though! She's very beautiful, and so I can see why she's been appearing alot in magazines recently.

Lastly, maybe Rumi's caught a cold?

maybe she smokes
Kago Ai used to do the same thing on old hello! morning episodes, and she was later kicked out of H!P for underage smoking.
heh, I seriously doubt it though, just reminded me of that situation.

thanks for the newest batch BTW, you're right the bowlingng is really entertaining. Go Fyonchi!（笑）

My first thought was that Rumi got sick. I didn't even think that she might smoke... It's definitely a possibility, but I'll just assume that she doesn't. Things are a little more pleasant that way.


I think this site may be nice to have in the first post: Link

Since BitTorrent is simply not an option for many people (firewalls, traffic shaping, etc.), I've been looking for other ways to upload files in order to make things more accessible. Mediafire seems like a nice place to put things, so I decided to give it a shot. There's a 100 MB size limit, so I have to use split archives for the episodes. I know rar is more common for split archives, but I decided to use 7-zip because it's free. 7-zip files are supported by a lot of software nowadays, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. For archives under 100 MB, I'll use regular zip, of course.

haha, yeah I'm sure zumi doesn't smoke, the suggestion sounded funny to me last night

updated the links including maipuru's official site

you really are too kind SB, offering direct downloads. I actually snagged the ganbare otome single because I never did back when it was seeded.

thanks

oh, and I uh... found this YS乙女学院

Nice find, Yasunori. More good stuff for the Tonotono fans.

Two new episodes are up at the Mediafire site:

2007.10.17 - Futarikiring!!! with Mira Takiguchi
2007.10.18 - Futarikiring!!! with Maria Eto

Torrents will come later, but readers of this thread can get them now!

I think this week's performances really show that Mai Endou, Erica Tonooka, and Rurika Yokoyama are the three best singers in the group. I'm not one to really pay much attention to singing ability, but I think those three sounded really good singing Tomorrow.

Quick update: Sayane~ is on this weeks Quiz hexagonII

thanks to Mattthecat on hello!-online.org

also thanks for the latest episodes SB

I'm not sure about the file on Hello! Online, but the one that I got from somewhere else only had parts that focused on Mai Satoda's team. If the one at Hello! Online is anything like the one that I got, then there is very little Sayaka in the file because she was on a different team. I'm downloading the one at Hello! Online now just to see if it's any different.


The latest episode of Idoling!!! is now up at the Mediafire site:

2007.10.19 - Futarikiring!!! with Erika Yazawa

yeah it appears that way
that's disappointing considering I've gotten full hexagonII episodes off that site before, only they had no idoling members on them

Maipuru was on the 07.9.19 episode of the best house 123, do any of your resources have that episode by chance SB? I love that show

After looking through the file from Hello! Online, it seems like Mattthecat had the same file I had. I thought it was different because the file he uploaded was much smaller, but I guess he re-encoded it.

There was one full episode of Quiz! Hexagon II that I uploaded back in May that had Rumi Koizumi. Honestly, I don't have that file anymore, but I'll see if I can find the episode again.

Unfortunately, I don't have that episode of Best House 123. For some reason, I don't really see many videos of Idoling!!!'s TV appearances outside of their own show.

Watching the Ganbare Otome PV now, and it's really cute! The song sounds awesome too. lol, it seems like it'd be the opening for their show or something though (if it already is, lol, don't mind me).

Mai is a really good singer, she just has to work on her confidence, she looked scared whenever the camera was on just her And Yazawa really needs to work on keeping her Oppaiz on lockdown, they were everywhere. I was afriad one might pop out from all of that jumping and running she was doing in V-neck.

The beach scenes were really cute though. And Mira's eyes kinda scare me.

Ganbare Otome is a really catchy song with a fun PV. Honestly, I thought all of the songs on their first single were good. That's why Ponkikki Medley was such a disappointment.


Guess who was walking through the Fuji TV building during Yabe's sushi stand segment on the 2007.10.20 episode of Mecha Mecha Iketeru...



Maipuru!

I remember seeing that episode before I knew about idoling, and have since deleted it.
Wasn't Rurika on that show once too?


hah, wow, good eye SB, I watched the show yesterday but didn't notice it was her walking by.

Yes, Rurika was on just a few weeks after Rumi was. I managed to find a file that has Rurika's major parts from the show, so I'll put it up on Mediafire. Also, according to Wikipedia, Rurika and Erika Yazawa were on the 2007.07.11 episode of Quiz! Hexagon II. I haven't seen anything from that one, though.

Actually, I saw a blurb about it on 2ch, so I downloaded the whole episode just to look for her.

I uploaded three videos to Mediafire called Idoling!!! Hajimete no Recording. They are three special videos from the On Demand service that show footage from the girls' recording sessions for Hyakkaryouran Idoling!!!, Ganbare Otome (Warai), and Kimi ga Suki. Of course, we get to hear their true singing voices. I don't know if that's good or bad...

I managed to find a full version of last week's episode of Quiz! Hexagon II. Honestly, though, there's only a little bit more Saya-nee.
