Layout and Other Boring Modly Things

0
0

I told you I would be doing things other than not updating during the hiatus. :P I’m still working on what to do regarding the schedule (learning towards every other day and keeping the post count at 10, with the option to scale back later if necessary).

But in other news, I finally figured out what was going on with the layout!  Huzzah!  One line of code and the image that came with the layout has now been changed to one of the five main PGSM ladies.  I feel better about life now.  Have a look if you’re interested!

I’m also working on the following:

  • Going through old posts to fix the tags (wooooorrrst).
  • Master lists for Alisa Durbrow, Moeco Matsushita, and Natsumi Kiyoura.
  • Creating a master tags list/navigation post, buying guide, official links list (blogs/twitters/etc.), and FAQ.

If you have any suggestions/questions/whatever, do send me a note!


Rika Izumi Switches Agencies... Again

0
0

Rika Izumi has switched agencies for the third (and hopefully final) time!  For those not keeping track: she started with Snow Rabbits, then moved to Sun Music, and then she transferred to a different division of the same agency (Sun Music Brain).  She is now being represented by Stardust Promotions, the same people who represent Keiko Kitagawa.  It’s my understanding that Stardust has more resources than Sun Music Brain, so hopefully this means bigger and better things are on the rise for Miss Rika!

In related weird news, Rika deleted her twitter account once she switched agencies.  I guess Stardust doesn’t like their talent tweeting?  You’d think they’d be pro-promotion in any form, but Japanese talent agencies do have a reputation for being a bit (a-hem) controlling. ^^; But anyway, best of luck, Rika!

Rina Koike for Weekly Young Sunday Volume 500, 2012.  I love how in idol culture, in addition to many other things, girls are presented as cats.  They just fall over and in many twisted recumbent poses for no apparent and then look up at you plaintively.  I’m half-expecting Rina to start meowing here.

Four amazing black and white photographs of Aya Sugimoto.

Upon reflection, these probably have something to do with Tango Nostalgia.

fuckyeahpgsmgirls:

Aya Sugimoto would rather get naked than wear fur.  This campaign photo for PETA in 2008 marks one of the first times a Japanese spokesperson participated in the famous ‘go naked’ photos.

I’m mostly reblogging this because Aya recently posted pics of all her pets on her blog, and omg, guys, she has like 8 cats. AYA SUGIMOTO IS A CRAZY CAT LADY (with two dogs and a husband). So the next time someone tries to insult you for loving cats and being a crazy cat lady, just remember: Aya Sugimoto is the same.

Since we’ve mostly had contemporary things for the birthday celebration, have some vintage Aya.  Here is 1990 music video for the number one hit “Gorgeous.”  And um… does that one hand gesture remind anyone of anything, or is it just me?

Aya Sugimoto Master List

0
0

fuckyeahpgsmgirls:

I’ve decided to make a master list for all the projects the girls participate in, including dramas, movies, plays, photobooks, and all that good stuff.

Titles for movies, dramas, plays, and magazine titles will either link out to official websites or wiki pages.  When both are available, I’ll default to the official page and include a separate link to the wiki.

Photobooks, idol DVDs, and specific magazines will link out to Amazon.JP when available.

Magazines ranges indicate that the PGSM girl in question was under exclusive contract (like when Ayaka modeled for Candy back in the day).  If the magazine is contemporary, the year ranges will link out to Amazon.JP.

Finally, if the project has been featured on this blog, I’ll also link out to that tag.

Please let me know if you see anything missing, note any mistakes, or want to whatever. :) Time for Aya Sugimoto’s master list; this is definitely incomplete as a lot of her earlier credits are difficult to track down and her agency page won’t load for me.  I’ll add to this as I find more information.

Just in case you missed this the first time around, here’s almost everything Aya’s ever done.  Stand (well, sit) and be amazed at her awesomeness.  That’s it for Aya’s birthday event this year!  Hope you enjoyed. :)
