A Small Introduction to Alice Project

Hello all~

I haven't really updated this blog - looking back, my last post was in June of 2011! If I had waited any longer, I would have hit a full year >.>

Anyway, I will try my best to update this blog a little bit more (no promises!) but, as you probably know, most of my posts are on Okay! Musume Time because it's where I review PV's the most. This blog was to talk about, in general, Idols rather than dote on PVs to do the talking. However, I seem to have migrated that idea over to Okay! Musume Time as well >.>

So...


I thought that it would actually be a good idea to try and introduce a group on this blog, especially ones that are pretty unknown that I have come across. I am still going through many different groups right now, but I have found some groups or projects which are relatively unknown. And one of those projects is Alice Project.


Alice Project is made up of many different tarento's, with most being female talents. Currently, they have 48 Female tarento's, 1 Model, 6 Male tarento's, one child tarento, 7 groups (some new) and 1 soloist within the Project, one of which is Alice Juban, whom I will also be introducing.

If you think about it, that is a lot. And they're pretty much underground Idols.

You can visit their website HERE and their Youtube HERE

Anyways, here are the 8 groups within Alice Project:

Prism

Prism is, I believe, the first group to debut under Alice Project, and started out with 6 members. However, one member has since left and the group now stands with 5 members.

The group seems to be based on school, hence the clothes they are wearing. They are described as 'An active High school Unit'

Pureful

Pureful are most likely the second group to debut under Alice Pro, and one of the only groups to officially get music videos. Pureful seem to cater to older fans, as the Idols in this group are over 20 years old respectively, and have a heavy sound to their music. They also do a lot of stage-diving, which is what they are known for.

There are currently 5 members in Pureful (though these pictures seem to have ( o-O)

To those of you who found this helpful at all, I am glad~ I am still learning about this project, so, if there is anything wrong here, please tell me - I am not fluent in Japanese, so I have to rely heavily on translators (which aren't always helpful, trust me). However, I hope that this information will help you all :3

Chiima~
