JPOP Fairies

Young school girls singing and dancing around - they must be fairies.
Fairies is a JPOP group which consists of 7 girls aged 13 - 15. They formed in 2011 under a sub-lable of Avex and are produced by the same folks who brought us SPEED and Amuro Namie.
The concept is to produce a group who can make it big overseas - a trend that folks will notice about the Japanese music industry ever since they started to notice how KPOP has made it big worldwide. Unfortunately they dont have an English website and chose a name which is hard to bring them up in the search results ^^;
Check out their tunes below.
And here are the members from the top row left to right we have:-
  • Nomoto Sora
  • Shimomura Miki
  • Fujita Miria
  • Ito Momoka
  • Hayashida Mahiro
  • Kiyomura Kawane
  • Inoue Rikako
We've already looked at a few young girl groups including Momoiro Clover and Tokyo Girls Style. Young boys groups would be ones like Sexy Zone. A lot of people frown upon it but I personally think its fine. Heck, one of our most popular actresses (and singer) of the moment is 7 years old - Ashida Mana.
Unfortunately the world we live in tells us that we need to go to school (and do nothing but study) between the ages of X and X and then give up our hobbies and passions once we start work or get married.
Fortunately, you and I know better than to listen to the world by living how *we* want to live rather than live how others want us to live.
