Getting To Know The New Idols On The Block: Fairies

Similar to SUPER☆GiRLS their singles have been gradually debuting higher and higher on the Oricon charts and were nominated for New Artist awards.  However, Fairies won the Best New Artist for the Japan Record Awards 2011.  I just hope that Fairies doesn't completely change their member line-up like previous winner S/mileage.  I'm probably going to buy their first album, like how I did for S/mileage.


My favorite aspect of Fairies is how professional in styling and dancing they are.  Their aim is to be the next SPEED.  I'm bothered that people say they are just like K-Pop.  They remind me more of the E-Girls groups.  Plus as far as I know, they didn't go through the lengthy training period that K-idols do.  I think they just had different requirements to pass the audition process than other J-idol groups have.  It seems the members came into the group with experience and training in dancing.  The training that did take place was short.  They had the help of Makino Anna, a performance coach who had worked with Amuro Namie and SPEED.
