Apart of Sengoku and Akari, the remaining five formed a dance group called UFZS, produced by Josei Jishin. At the moment the group were called 'original K-Pop dance cover group' by its producer.

The group was initially planned to debut in a K-Pop dance cover event "DREAM ON! vol.2". But following the big earthquake in Japan, the event was canceled. Despite that, they are still looking for a chance to show their training result somewhere.
At UpFront Girls FC Event at 5/1 and 5/3 2011, the group finally had a chance to show their training to the audience. They perform 4Minutes's Hot Issue.

on May 16th, Josei Jishin released a video on their YouTube official account in which they revealed that Minami and Akari have joined the dance group.

Upfront Girls recently had a voting poll on Melodix to determine who can get a chance to perform on the show.

UFgirls finished strong in second place. But due to system error, it was revealed that 6 idol groups will perform.

This time, due to the system error, an understanding of the vote tally cannot be done. As a result, it is decided that all 6 idol groups will do a performance.
We are sorry for the trouble caused.

UFZS's performance of 4minute's Hot Issue was broadcast on Nico Nico live and also on youtube by Josei Jishin

as of right now, the girls are just doing ustream broadcast every week, appearances on dramas, stageplays and dance rehearsing on their free time (because of school - Mana, Akari). They are rehearsing a KARA song next, the song they'll be doing hasnt been announced yet. a lot of them are fans of K-pop and they been practicing how to speak korean.

it hasnt been confirmed yet, but they may appear to perform on the MNet Japan auditions show called "Super Star K" Kpop star search audition. because the Upfront's name is listed as one of the agencies here

I'm all for more groups, but... what's with the name? How in the world does UFZS stand for Up Front Girls? I guess because "ji" and ""zi" are transliterated as the same kana in Japanese (ジ)...?
It had better be a purposeful pun, then, and not just a screw-up. :lol:

Well. To be super picky about it:
ji/zhi - ジ
dji/dzhi - ヂ
and "girls" is ガールズ if anything so it still doesn't make sense. :lol:

Anyway.

It has Minami, Akari, Konatsu and Morisaki, so this group is relevant. 8D

Those outfits are hideous, really.
And I agree. Though more than them having to act immaturely, them having to be on a show with people like that is what makes the whole thing ridiculous and painful to watch.

Also, Manami is so not cute. Do something about her teeth and have her grow her hair out, please.

Is the UFZS girl that looks like a boy the same girl from the Up Front Charity event that looked like a boy?

^ That's Kaneko Rie. Easy to tell since she is standing between 2 other Eggs (Nanami & Sayuki).
The one you're thinking of is Arai Manami. This is her at the event.
