For some reason, I'm intrigued by the whole Backstage Pass phenomenon, and I want this thread to be more active so I'm going to post B.S.-centric episodes of TsunTube here instead of in the Tsunku thread.

(Hey, that's what they call it: "Back-Sute" or "B.S.". Unfortunate English strikes again.)

Thus, TsunTube #75…

A.D. Nagisa is becoming a force to reckon with. :fear:

Also, the website got a complete redesign…

http://backst.jp/

Much more navigable, and with weekly rankings.

(h/t H!O Twitter)

---

I didn't notice it before, but apparently there is some TNX crossover after all. All of the members of THE Possible have cast pages there…

Yurika Akiyama
http://backst.jp/cast/101/

Robin Shōko Okada
http://backst.jp/cast/102/

Yuki Gotō
http://backst.jp/cast/103/

Aina Hashimoto
http://backst.jp/cast/104/

Kanami Morozuka
http://backst.jp/cast/105/

Their numbers appear to be reserved — everyone else is within 1–93 — and their point totals imply that they don't actually work there much, if ever. But still.

And geez, Robin looks downright Scottish in her cast picture. For a moment, before I saw her name (that's what got me started on this), I thought she actually was a foreigner who'd somehow gotten a job there.

Finally, new info about their second indie single…

Image

Title: 「ヨロピク ピクヨロ」 ("Yoropiku Pikuyoro"), with music and lyrics by Tsunku
Released: 30 January 2013

Limited Edition only available at Backstage Pass: BSPC-5002
DVD Edition: BSPC-5003
Regular Edition: BSPC-5004

Although those will probably change since 5002 has already been used for the first single. Somebody goofed.

Very few people in Scotland are actually ginger y'know...

Yeah Robin does look so different than she normally does. When is is with The Possible she looks gorgeous but when she takes photo's for ABST... Maybe the lighting is bad...?

Why does that one girl wear an anime face?

I cant be the only one who thinks most of the girls look awkward in their pictures on the website, right? :||:


Anyways
I think Akihabara Backstage pass is quite interesting. :innocent:

Because it's funny or cute or something?

But yeah, most of the profile pictures are bad.

Regardless of the similarities to AKB's elections I think this is cool (especially since the girls also get paid to be waitresses or whatever). Some of the girls (like this one http://backst.jp/cast/147/) are insta-idol worthy/idol-adorable but some of the girls are... 0_o

yeah, not really feeling her.. although i think with some minor tweaks (eyebrows and maybe a slimmer face) would make a difference, so not TOO far off the mark imo.

some girls that i think could be idols right away..
http://backst.jp/cast/86/ gorgeous
http://backst.jp/cast/127/ looks like she was plucked out of AKB (not perfect, but something interesting about her)
http://backst.jp/cast/190/ pretty and if you find her on the cast list, her smile is reminiscent of Oshima Yuko
http://backst.jp/cast/107/ for a more young/cutesy unit, perhaps?
http://backst.jp/cast/73/ really just cuz she reminds me of Kashiyuka. xDD which is perhaps why i think i'd prefer her hair black, although even just adding some different tones would help because right now it looks so unnaturally uniform in color.

and these two girls have potential, too..

Members of Afilia Saga East are also in the ABP cast list.

She is Momochi Minami. She is a DJ. By coincidence her mask looks like Momo ( Berryz ) XD Look at Want! MV, you'll see.

About Robin, what the heck happened to Robin when they took that ABP profile? :crazy:

Robin doesn't speak any comprehensible English but there is one girl in ABP who has perfect English.
