Biography

Debut

Mami Kawada's vocal talent was first discovered by Eiko Shimamiya, who was her teacher at a vocal school in Sapporo, Hokkaido. She was introduced to I've Sound, a music production group whom Shimamiya was a member of. Kawada would later become a member of I've Sound. In 2001, she released her debut song with I've Sound was "Kaze to Kimi wo Daite" (風と君を抱いて?), which was the opening theme for the eroge miss you. The song was featured in the I've Sound's 5th Compilation Album Out Flow.
In 2002, she began performing anime theme songs, as well as theme songs for visual novels. Her first anime song was "Sora no Mori de" (空の森で?), which serves as the ending theme for the anime Please Teacher!, while co-I've Sound singer Kotoko performed the opening theme "Shooting Star". In the same year, Kawada and Shimamiya grouped themselves as the band Healing Leaf and performed theme songs for some visual novels. Only one of the songs, however, was featured in the I've Girls Compilation, "Ame ni Utau Ballad" (雨に歌う譚詩曲?).
In mid-2003, she performed the ending theme of the anime Please Twins!, the sequel to Please Teacher!, "Asu e no Namida" (明日への涙?) while Kotoko performed the opening theme "Second Flight" together with J-pop singer Hiromi Satō.

Seed (2005–2006)

In 2005, Mami Kawada signed a contract with Geneon Entertainment and released her major debut single "Radiance / Chi ni Kaeru: On the Earth", which was used as the opening theme for the anime Starship Operators. This marked the beginning of her career as a songwriter/vocalist. "Radiance" was written by her and accompanied by Kotoko. She began to write her own lyrics in her following releases.
In late 2005, she released her second single "Hishoku no Sora" (緋色の空?, Scarlet-Colored Sky), which became the opening theme for the anime series Shakugan no Shana. It became her best-selling single and sold approximately 37,000 copies, garnering 11th in the Oricon weekly charts.
In March 2006, Kawada and Kotoko released a split single for the OVA adaptation of the game Baldr Force. Kawada performed the ending theme, "Undelete," while Kotoko performed the opening theme "Face of Fact (Resolution ver.)", a remix of her first song which was featured in the game version. Four weeks after the release of this split single, Kawada released her debut album Seed, which contained seven new songs, four songs from her first three singles, and one visual novel theme song which was released back in 2004. The album reached #12 in the Oricon weekly charts and charted for five weeks selling more than 25,000 units.
After almost two months, Mami Kawada had her first live tour wherein she performed her album songs live and distributed a pamphlet CD containing two songs—one instrumental, and her first composed song "Carpe Diem".

Savia (2007)

After her success with "Hishoku no Sora", Kawada performed an insert song for the Shakugan no Shana movie "Akai Namida" (赤い涙 Red Tears?) in May 2007. She also sang "Tenjou wo Kakeru Monotachi" (天壌を翔る者たち?), the movie's ending theme together with Kotoko, Shimamiya, Mell and Kaori Utatsuki under the name Love Planet Five.
Three months later, she performed the second ending theme of the series Hayate the Combat Butler "Get My Way!". This single is different from her previous singles, since the song has a more punk rock feel.
Soon after, Kawada came back with a more developed rock sound, evident in her opening theme single for the second installment of the anime series Shakugan no Shana, "Joint", as well as the ending theme "Triangle". "Joint" was released on October 31, 2007 and marked her first top 10 single entry since it reached #9 in its first week on the Oricon weekly charts. Overall, it sold 36,572 copies and charted for a total 19 weeks making this her longest-charting single.
After Kawada's success with her fifth single, she made her first live tour outside Japan, on January 19, 2008, at the KHS Hall in Taiwan.
In late March 2008, Kawada released her second album Savia, which contained nine new songs. The album included the final ending theme to the second installment of Shakugan no Shana, "Sense", as well as her first non-anime theme song and four songs from the three singles she released. Although it did not do well in the Oricon charts, after less than six months, Kawada had her second live tour for her second album.

Linkage (2008–2010)

After a year of not releasing a single, Kawada performed the opening themes of the anime series Toaru Majutsu no Index, "PSI-Missing" and "Masterpiece". Both of the coupling songs, "Ame" (?) and "Jellyfish", were also used as insert songs in the series. In autumn 2008, Kawada established her official website together with her official fan club "M.A.L.L.", which stands for "Mami Artist Lasting Live."
In June 2009, Kawada released her maxi single "L'Oiseau bleu". This single is also present in the I've Sound 10th Anniversary 「Departed to the future」 Special CD BOX, which was released earlier by the group on March 25, 2009.
Kawada also performed the opening and ending themes for the original video animation series of Shakugan no Shana, Shakugan no Shana S, which was her fifth time performing for the anime series. The opening theme "Prophecy" came out as a maxi single on November 18, 2009 while the ending theme "All in Good Time", was not included in the single.
On March 24, 2010, Kawada released her third album Linkage, which contains 13 tracks. Her latest singles "PSI-Missing," "Masterpiece" and "Prophecy" were all included in the album. The album also contained the ending theme Shakugan no Shana S, "All in Good Time", as well as a cover of the song "Dreams", originally performed by the Irish rock band The Cranberries. After two weeks, Kawada had her third live tour to promote her latest album.
Kawada started writing lyrics for other I've singers. Her first song written for other I've Sound members was "A piece of my heart", the ending theme for the eroge Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, sung by newcomer Nami Maisaki, who became an I've singer in May of that year.

2010 to present

After another year of not releasing a single, Kawada performed the opening theme of the second season of the anime series Toaru Majutsu no Index, "No buts!", which eventually became her highest charting single to date reaching #6 on its first week in the Oricon weekly charts.
On February 16, 2011, she released her 10th single "See visionS", the second opening theme for the second season of Toaru Majutsu no Index. Four months later, she wrote the lyrics for the song "Lead to the smile", the solo debut of I've singer Rin Asami, who started her career that year. She also performed the second opening theme of the third installment of Shakugan no Shana "Serment". The song was released as a single on February 1, 2012. She also performed the song "u/n" which served as the ending theme of episode 15 of Shakugan no Shana Final as well as that series' final ending theme "Kōbō" (光芒 Beam of Light?). She is set to release a new album titled Square the circle in August 2012.

Nogizaka46

Nogizaka46 (乃木坂46?) adalah grup idola Jepang yang dibentuk 22 Agustus 2011 oleh produser Yasushi Akimoto sebagai "rival resmi" AKB48.


Asal Nogizaka, Tokyo, Jepang
Genre Pop
Tahun aktif 2011–sekarang
Label Sony Music Records (2011- )

Karier

Nama grup ini diambil dari lokasi kantor label rekaman SME yang berada di Nogizaka. Di tempat itu pula dilangsungkan audisi tahap akhir. Angka 46 dibelakang Nogizaka diberikan oleh Akimoto dengan maksud "memberi semangat agar tidak kalah dari AKB48 meskipun jumlah anggota hanya sedikit.
Pendirian grup ini didasari penyesalan Sony Music telah melepas AKB48 yang dulunya berada di bawah DefStar Records (Grup Sony Music Entertainment). "Pastinya 'ikan yang lepas' itu besar sekali," komentar staf Sony Music yang melepas kontrak AKB48 ketika mereka masih kurang laku.
Seluruhnya ada 38.934 orang yang melamar untuk audisi, dan hanya 36 calon anggota tahap 1 yang terpilih. 
Berbeda dari SKE48, NMB48, HKT48 yang disebut grup adik AKB48, Nogizaka sengaja diberi label sebagai grup "rival". Grup ini tidak memiliki teater khusus, dan direncanakan pentas berpindah dari satu teater ke teater lain.
Nogizaka46 memiliki acara televisi sendiri Nogizakatte Doko? (Nogizaka Di mana?) yang mulai tayang 2 Oktober 2011. Acara ini diproduksi oleh Aichi Television Broadcasting dan ditayangkan jaringan enam stasiun TV Tokyo.
Pada 19 Januari 2012, Nogizaka46 tampil sebagai atraksi pembuka pada konser 100 lagu pilihan penggemar AKB48 Request Hour "Set List 100 2012". Pada konser di Tokyo Dome City Hall itu, enam belas anggotanya membawakan lagu "Guru-Guru Curtain" ("Gulung-Gulung Tirai").
Nogizaka46 dipertemukan dengan rivalnya, AKB48 dalam acara Music Japan di NHK General TV, 19 Februari 2012. Mereka membawakan "Guru-Guru Curtain" yang merupakan singel debut mereka dari Sony Music Records. Sisi B berisi lagu "Aitakatta Kamoshirenai" (会いたかったかもしれない?, "Mungkin Ingin Bertemu"), versi Nogizaka46 dari lagu AKB48 "Aitakatta" yang melodinya sudah diubah, meskipun liriknya sama. Atsuko Maeda ditampilkan sekilas sebagai bintang tamu. Pengambilan gambar video musik "Aitakatta Kamoshirenai" juga dilakukan di lokasi pengambilan gambar "Aitakatta", di Mercusuar Sunosaki, Prefektur Chiba.

SCANDAL kicks off their nationwide tour in Kagoshima


SCANDAL, who held a successful one-man live at Nippon Budokan for the very first time on March 28th, kicked off their nationwide tour “SCANDAL ‘LIVE IDO LIVE’ TOUR 2012” at Kagoshima’s CAPARVO HALL on May 19th.
The seventeen performances of the tour are spread out over the span of approximately a month, with stops in Hiroshima, Nagoya, Kyoto, and more. The tickets for all seventeen events sold out almost simultaneously when they went on sale for the general public, affirming the popularity the band, themselves, witnessed at their live at Budokan. The tickets for their Kagoshima live sold out in just 20 minutes after being made available, especially because the event was their first ever live held in Kagoshima.
Many of the songs from their recently released best-of album “SCANDAL SHOW” were played at the concert, in addition to their upcoming song “Taiyou Scandalous“, which will be released as a single on July 11th and was produced by NAOTO of ORANGE RANGE. The fans in the audience all started dancing at once while listening to the song being performed for the first time, suggesting that the song could be a huge hit when finally released later this summer.
SCANDAL also gathered attention for their outfits, as the four wore sleeveless jean jackets to their concerts. One fan called out, “You look like Sugi-chan!”, to which bassist TOMOMI replied, “Don’t we look wild~?”, humoring the crowd with her impression of Sugi-chan.
The band also plans to attend summer outdoor events such as “HIGHER GROUND“, “INAZUMA ROCK FES 2012“, and “MTV ZUSHI Fes” this year.
