IMPORTANT!! KAREN・CLASSICA HAS DECIDED TO GRADUATE FROM AFILIA SAGA

Wednesday 29 February 2012

Ayami and Maho (post #8)


<Ayami>
Hello there, its Ayami! Today I will be talking about the new member, Maho!☆
Just recently I was a new member myself and it did not strike me that I would have to talk about a new member! ( embarrassed ) Maho is a cute and lovable『Tsundere』!!☆
Loves Afilia more than anyone, as well as Saga! She treats the shop as a very important thing!
Her blank look makes her cuter! She would 『Stop this false accusations!☆』and she would do a pose that is cute beyond imagination all because of a word『Tsun』!!
She could get familiar with anyone at all and also she is extremely cute!♪
I feel she treats living with importance♪
Everyone please take care of her!♪

Afilia Saga East will be having its own monthly programme called Afilia Saga Quest!
On Sukapaa Entertainment 371 Channel!
It will feature true sides of the members that you will not normally see as well as a competition to see who is the sexiest!. The games and stand up comedies are impressive as well !!
Those playing the games will giggle even during the game ...

This month, our new single
『Kneehigh Egoist』will be released with the music arranged by Tsunku♂
lyrics by Shikura Chiyomaru!
The event and live will be very fun!
From December 8th, you can encounter us at Roppongi's Afilia Stars! Please definitely come!
http://www.afilia.jp/stars/saga/

Please visit the Official Afilia Saga blog and the
Afilia Saga 5pb.home page!!
http://blog.livedoor.jp/afiliasaga/
http://5pb.jp/afiliasaga/

A new Afilia Saga East with new members and new costumes!
Please come to find us quickly!!


(*^-^*)From Ayami*


<Maho>
Cheers! Its Maho! I joined as a new member starting from the 5th single「Kneehigh Egoist」!

This time , I will be introducing to you Ayami☆
Before I entered Saga, I had no contact with Ayami before. Because of that, I went to explore and see what kind of girl she was. The image I formed of her was that she was bound to be a quiet princess like person ,or so I thought!
But after I started talking to her, there was high excitement! Suddenly, the image was shattered! We found common topics and kept talking and talking. She was much friendlier than I thought at first and it was very fun to be with her. (・ω・*)

Ah, I won't tell this to her directly... but I really respect Ayamichan. Her bright smiles especially! It is not something one can do that easily! When she is working hard with a serious face, she would always end up with a smile on her face, Ayamichan is cute ♪
When together with her, even over here we would end up smiling. Ayamichan's smiling magic☆I too wish to be able to make people smile like Ayamichan.。

Actually I have seen her before she debutted!!Though she is my Kouhai in Afilia but my Senpai in Saga Ayamichan, please take care of me from now on~♪

Well then well then, on December 1st the 5th Single 「Kneehigh Egoist」was finally released!! Everybody, have you listened to it yet?

「Kneehigh Egoist」's lyrics are done by Shikura Chiyomaru san, the song by Tsunku san. All in all, a dream like collaboration!
Unlike the usual Afilia Saga East, this is a very cool song! The PV is also very attractive, "A...Afilia!?" and you won't believe your eyes! There are two versions so please check out the both of them!☆
In this song, one might think that we are like little devils, tempting men! Outrageous! It is just taking off some boring uniform, thats why it cannot be helped right. Innocent girls are fine, girls who gives a cue to the men is cool too! ☆  *

Coupling song's「Koi wo Game ni Shinai de!」Lyrics are by Momoi Haruko san and the music is by Ooshima Kousuke san!
Carrying the hearts of innocent girls who are in love, this is a very cute song! ♪ We have no plan as to how to capture our love~(・ω・)!
As compared to Kneehigh Egoists Little devil chan, this is very different! I feel that this is a song where the girls are trying not to be jealous and yet cannot be truly honest with their feelings.  If you were to ask me which type am I, I would say I am closer to being this type. Always tsun tsun but thinking about something like this, wouldn't that be very cute?☆

I will of course be at Saga events and at Afilia Sherry's as well, so please come down to play! Lets talk a lot! ♪


This was Maho~.

*ain't really sure, sorry. :(

Meiry and Karen (post #7)

<Meiry Malonfeel>
KonniPicoon☆彡 (note1)

Well it got rid of tiredness real well right, Senpai!!!
2nd time on the column, its Meiry!♪

Recently, 2 new members joined Afilia Saga and it has been very lively~♪ I am very happy to get to play with Karen and Maho often☆彡

This time I will be introducing Karenchan... her brain is very nimble!♪
There was almost no one who could keep up with my imagination games! (>_<)
Just the other day, when there was spare time and no need to hurry Karenchan said this running,『Do you know why I am running? Because it is fun!』. Wah, what a wonderful girl☆I thought and we soon became very close friends♪

Lately in our private time we would have fun together, it is fun to have some casual fun with Karencahan
I would do things when she isn't really looking. Then Karenchan will look over here. What?... strange things!(Laughs)

Now, I will be introducing our new song is『Kneehigh Egoist』♪\(∂∀∂)/

This song is a collaboration with Producer Shikura Chiyomaru as the lyrcist and Tsunku♂ with the music composition. This is the first time that we are working with Tsunku♂. The title is also very shocking!

『Eh? Egoist? Kneehigh? It feels powerful』was what i thought, our song's real feelings still have yet to fully surface.
I think about it everytime but our song title is still interesting. It feels that it shows part of the Afilia world.For example『Aitakute~』is not as simple as it sounds. Recently, ShikuraP's『Sei naruwktk no Hoshi』is interesting!☆

This time's song, we would be wearing the knee high socks we always wear with the Afilia Uniform which is in the title! The lyrics, dance and the PV makes this a very bold song!!! It might be a bit erotic, but a fun song. Will this song be addictive I wonder.  I want people to experience this excitement at our live!\(∂∀∂)/

In November was the pre-ordering event and it will be released on December 1st! In December there is our release event where they will be many freebies, please come and support us!♪♪

This was Meiry, Picoon~☆彡


<Karen Classica>
Everybody, nice to meet you.
I am Karen Classica who joined as a new member in October. (・ω・*)
Well then, I thought it be best to get started on Meiry's introduction!
Firstly,, Meiry is a very earnest person!o(`ω´)o
When dealing with various things, she would always face it with a sincere attitude! It always feels as if she would be actively learning even on the stage itself when speaking. *
Meiry is a girl with many mysteries!
When I joined Afilia Saga and was yet to be familiar with the members, I spoke with Meiry at the stage. As we spoke we matched each other's wavelengths and polite speech was soon dropped, with tears in our eyes, we fell over laughing together, our conversation that time was so mysterious that the other members were stunned.
The only person able at this point in time to relate to Meiry's mysteriousness is probably me, and I take pride in that!('∀`)
She is such a mysterious girl who you cannot get tired of and a very wonderful girl at that.☆

By the way, released on the 1st of December, our new song 「Kneehigh Egoist」will feature a very kira kira Saga!♪☆!
The lyrcist is from our producer, Prince Shikura Chiyomaru. And also! The music composition is done by Tsunku♂ making this a very grand collaboration!(ゝω・)
Prince Chiyomaru gave it catchy lyrics whereas Tsunku♂ gave the song its beautiful balance! \(☆o☆)/
There, the attractive Saga members will be singing topped with a little sexiness.
It is a pretty addictive song! \(☆o☆)/ Hyaaa

With that new charm, please continue to support saga!\(☆o☆)/

Yukafin and Louise (post #6)

<Yukafin>

Hello there everybody! ☆
For the second time at coupling column, its Yukafin!!

This time it is Afilia Saga East's Chairman!! Louise's introduction~ (^^)
When it comes to a Chairman there is an image of poise but Louise is different!☆笑
Recently she is a bit of a meddler! She would go around doing a monomane of calling someone Hentai! and she pulls it off and is always the center of conversations!
And she is already teasing the new member who just joined us! Laughs
She fits in so easily~☆was what I thought and I admire her for that!!
Actually I really admire this Louise who works hard and is a Chairman who always shows care!☆
I have never said this to her in person before! Laughs
When I see the Chairman, I think it must be very difficult!
Looking at Louise working hard up close makes me understand!
Actually a crybaby and a little shy girl, Louise seems that way at times!
While trudging forward at full power, she inspires others to work hard as well!!
Such a Chairman is very cool!*゜
True serious and honest chats with Louise I have gotten close to her too!
It is unimaginable but it is true!☆Laughs
From now on continue to look after Afilia Saga as a Chairman,☆Louise!(*бvб*)

Well then, This year  Afilia Saga will be performing at『Live5pb.』again!!
There were many people at JCB Hall and at first that made us nervous.
But the many people who showed their supported and helped liven things up made it very fun!o(^-^)o!!!
Also a new member, Karenchan joined us!!! And in December is our new single's release!
The 12 of us will continue to work hard from now onwards so please support us!*゜

<Louise>

Everybody, hello there!
Afilia Saga's chairman !!! Its Louise! (☆´_ゝ`)
This time's coupling column entered its second week!! or not!
This time, Louise will be introducing Yukafin!☆

Yukafin's is a neat beauty but the gap between that and the way she speaks is very fun !!
Her jokes are very witty, when talking with the Saga members Yukafin is often the subject of our conversations!
We can talk about everyday slips or failures and interesting things that occurred. And during the MCs at Lives she would reveal interesting and weird things... !!!
But, in Afilia Saga the one I trust and rely the most on is Yukafin! ☆
Ah, please keep this is a secret from her!☆ Laugh

Also, The other day Afilia Saga performed at Live5pb.2010!
Afilia Saga was first publicly revealed at Live5pb.2008 which makes this the 2nd anniversary!☆

We would also be singing our 5th Single which is to be released on 1st of December『 Knee High Egoist 』. We are very happy that everyone enjoyed our performance!
『Knee High Egoist』's lyricist is Producer Chiyomaru and the composition is by Tsunku♂, it is a song born from this unique collaboration!
Tsunku♂ giving us the musical composition allowed for us to see a new side to Afilia Saga that we never saw before. (`ω´)!!

In November there is our preordering event for our 5th single it will be very fun! Also as we welcome the 2nd anniversary, please come to see the improving Afilia Saga and have fun with us! ~(^o^)☆

Rose and Aria (post #5)


<Rose>
Good afternoon everyone(*´▽`*)ノ☆
This time's column will be handed over to Rose & Aria!!
Zettai Ryoki and Megane lover, I am Rose Gardenfairy!!
LOVE☆Knee Socks!! LOVE☆Megane!!

This time Rose will be doing Sweet and Fluffy princess☆Princess Aria's introduction!!
Aria ...well gives a very sweet and fluffy☆image! She is cuter than a doll and has a very smooth waist, a very heartwarming person to be with.
But sometimes she would say things that wouldn't suit the outer appearance of a doll!

Just recently, she would be waiting to play mahjong and in her own time she would be diligently reading a Mahjong book, the sight of that was very interesting(Laughs)
Also when Rose gets into her Otaku talk, Aria unexpectedly has surprisingly deep knowledge of the otaku world, a very profound princess she is.☆

Actually, I entered Afilia Ikebukuro along with Princess Aria as the same generation and because we have been together with each other for such a long time she is a precious friend.(*´ω`*)
In private, Count Rose and Princess Aria(Laughs) do cosplay photoshoots together and are very close!☆

By the way, the male student that Rose looks like , Ray S. Rambart is working at Roppongi Afilia Stars. His middle name's 'S' is the 'S' for steward. There is a rumor that he is actually a butler for Aria M. Milvana's family...

Please head down to Afilia Stars to uncover that male student's identity(Laughs)

Well then well then, Afilia Saga will have a Live at Kichi Jou ji CLUB SEATA on 9/23, on 9/26 BelleSalle(ベルサール) * Akihabara, on 10/3 it has been decided that we will have a live at Dreamparty.(*´▽`*)ノ☆
Please come down and have fun! ☆
Details are on the home page (http://5pb.jp/afiliasaga/ )and on twitter too (http://twitter.com/AfiliaSaga)!

This was Rose Gardenfairy.~([∂]ω[∂])☆


<Aria>

Everyone how are you?(note1)♪
Sweet and fluffy, born in the land of sweets, its Aria M. Milvana.

Without delay, I would introduce Roze!☆
Famous for her Megane and Zettai Ryoki,
she is the sister everyone in Afilia Saga East respects!

Speaking of respecting her, she has a very friendly personality and is good at talking.
She always brings fun to everyone.
In Afilia Saga, the one person Aria finds easiest to talk to
might just be Rose.

In private we would cosplay together,
we would go together to delicious Ramen shops as well,
that let us become good friends. ♪

Oh and there's that. It is rumored that Rose has an inbuilt GPS function (Laughs)
She is familiar with roads!
Aria gets lost very easily,
many times I have to ask Rose for help.

Rose is so pretty that
it has been rumored she is actually CG,
…the truth behind that has been kept under the wraps☆

Speaking of which, Milvana family's butler Ray S. Rambart
can be found at Roppongi Afilia Stars.
Please check out Reikun who looks like Rose!♪

A really nice friend and a very fashionable one as well...
Rose is rather otaku. (Laughs)
Aria loves such a Rose!♪

Anyways,
Afilia Saga East will continue to work harder from now on.
Senpai, please watch out for us♪
If you come down to the events to play with us, I will be happy♪

From Aria.

Kohime and Kurumi (post #4)


<Kohime>

Hello there everybody(●ω●) its Kohime~♪
I will be doing the number one princess, Kyurukyuru kurumi's introduction.
I always called her Kurumi but recently we have gotten closer and I am calling her Kuruchan now (*●ω<*)b
Kuruchan is very cute, within Saga she is the most feminine amongst us all! 
Her trademark of her Saga costume would be her Tiara, even when she is in home clothes she seems to enjoy collecting sparkling things and would always have some on herself.
Her nails are always very cute and her roomwear is pretty fashionable. The amazing part about her is how fashionable she is!^^
Kuruchan is a bit shy in nature, but once you become closer to her it will like being emotionally attached to a puppy which will be all sorts of cuteness.☆
She is very huggable! (>ω<) She has the allure of a small ! Very charming!♪
Only... she is a little baka at times, she wrote『Da-te』but read it as『Idachi』...(●ω●;) oh my~ (note1!)
When I pointed out the mistake~, she replied with『Are you serious!』(Laughs)
Kuruchan says that she is like a three year old, I think that she is more knowledgeable and has better judgement than a three year old~ (●ω●)☆
She is taller than me but inside she is a fashionable and cute little girl. Kuruchan gives the feel of a little sister.
Her expressions are always changing but she always ends up smiling cutely. I can't look away~♪ *
Also, one of Kuruchan's strong points is that she has loads of courage!
One would be nervous standing on the stage alone, but kuruchan is strongest when it comes to the real deal! It is amazing and cool and I admire her for that.(●ω●)☆

Well then well then, this summer has many lives and events and campaigns please come down and support Saga!
Please definitely support our project『Afilia Saga's Magical! Time』which will be on the third Wednesday of every month !!
The recording will be officially posted on akiba.tv at http://akiba.tv/afilia/(note2!) ←Please look at our issues ☆
It is a variety event with minilives, talks as well as games.~ There are also presents for those at the event.〜(*●ω●ノノ゙☆ -Claps hand-
Well well ☆ Who will be on next time's coupling column?? Please look forward to it!!
Kohime was here~(●ω●)


<Kurumi>

Kyurukyuru~☆☆
Afilia Saga East's Number one princess!
Its Kurumi Lala Milk! v(。・ω・。)!!!

Kohime chan is the smallest member!
She is a very very hardworking and serious and honest and has a firm character~♪
Often, members will say 「So Serious/Honest!」
and tease her a little. Laughs
Kurumi loves Kohime because of thatっ☆☆Laughs

Sometimes when Kurumi is worrying about something as well as when Kurumi is not feeling well
She would talk with me and show her concern.
She is really really kind(●´∀`●)
She works very hard in her small little body~~~~~
Saga has such a kohimechan☆   *
From now on lets grow together! v(。・ω・。)♪♪

Afilia Saga East has many events this summer.
By the way, it has already been a year since Kurumi joined Afilia Saga in August! Fast!
It was a year where I had support from everyone! (p・・q)(p・・q)☆
Saga and Kurumi still have a long way to go, so please continue to support us. ☆☆

On August 6th Afilia Saga will be appearing on the event 「Shinken Onna no Jin za☆Kiraa♡Contents!」 which Tsunku♂ produced!!! http://bit.ly/aW6Nc8 (note2!)
Will we fight on a pro-wrestling ring...?! Please look forward to it !!!
Please support us and come down!(*ゝ∀・*)♪

Note1: The comment about being a 'little baka' is like a jab at her dumb antics and she read the Kanji Date as Idachi
Note2: links seem to be dead...
*(kohipanda aint really sure)

Miku and Meiry (post #3)


【Miku Doll Charlotte】

Everybody Afinichiwa (note1!!)☆I am Miku , Afilia Saga's Munekyun leader!(^-^)/♪ *

Meiry chan is well, always energetic, and a very individualistic girl(゜∇゜)☆
During Lives and events, Meirychan sudden remarks are always surprising.

Miku came down from the moon to the Afilia Kingdom whereas Meirychan seems to have came down from the Picoon Star. This part makes us similar in a way. (^-^)/
She always seems to be nibbling delicious food and that makes me feel like patting her ('-'*)

And☆Miku...,became a member of【OToGi8】!
TV anime『Ookamisan to nananin no nakamatachi』's ending theme is a song performed by our unit.When I saw our unit's name being spread, I was moved.
I thought that the song matched the image of the anime quite well.☆It is a very cute yet energetic song♪ I hope many people would listen to this song.


【Meiry Malonfeel】

KonniPiwa(note2!)☆彡
Its Afilia Saga East's Vitamin P♪ Meiry Malonfeel!\(∂∀∂)/
That P is Picoon☆彡's P!Picoon☆彡is a special magic to make on feel energetic~.

Mikuchan entered Afilia saga as a new member last year, she came after me so initially I did not know what kind of girl she would be. Even now, Mikuchan is mysterious and simply mysterious. She always seems to be thinking about something and I am not sure what. Conversely, she might not be thinking about anything at all (Laughs)The cute and Tennen Miku, is showering love on everyone else♪
Speaking about Afilia Saga as of late... everyone's individual character seems to be surfacing and it is very interesting.♪ We were thinking about having a series or show together with all the members, but today 10 people might be too much!(Laughs)

By the way, the event Meiry is looking forward to most from now is the Idol event that will be held in August ,the 「TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2010」!Performing that day other then Afilia Saga East will be Idoling!!!, Tokyo Girls' Style, Fudanjuku, Momoiro clover etc etc.
It will bound to be a very grand event so everyone please come and watch! (o∂∀<o) For us it will be an opportunity for us to learn a lot from the various other idol groups ♪ This is what Meiry is looking forward to most this summer!

Well then everyone, since it is hot head to the waters and have fun but dont get drenched! Especially myself (laugh)

Link: http://www.anican.jp/column/afilia_coupling/default.aspx?id=3
Note1: an attempt to add an afilia feel to the traditional greeting Konnichiwa.
Note2: Meiry's attempt at combining Picoon and Konnichiwa

Yukafin and Meena (post #2)

<Yukafin>

Hello everybody☆I am Yukafin!

As of late during the LIVEs and stuff, I was MCing with Meena a lot☆

Meena is good at talking and sometimes old men jokes too? Being with her is very fun! Because she is a levelheaded person, sometimes she would give guidance support me during conversations! I have become dependent on her♪

She wears huge expressions, excellent at singing and very good at dancing as well!

Meena has many members respect! A very precious member! *

I still have to work hard☆


An announcement to everyone! The anime set for broadcast in July,『Ookamisan to nananin no nakamatachi』's Ending theme song was given to『OToGi8』to sing!

OToGi8 is a 8 person unit that has Afilia Saga's Louise, Miku and Yukafin in it♪

The title is 『Akazukichan go youshin』which will be released on the 11th of August!

It used to be one person from Saga but this time it is three of us together!

Though for sure I will be nervous when it comes to recording with everyone, but I am sure it will go smoothly! Laughs

It will most definitely be a very cute song since its for Akazukinchan, so please listen to it! ♪

I will be in your care. (゜∇゜


<Meena>

Hello there! I will be taking over the column for now, I am Meena M. Frace☆

The energetic emissary of cold jokes(?)(Laughs)

Yukafin is mypaced but she is a very levelheaded person and good at talking!

She has an aura that makes it seem as though you can talk about anything with her. If the conversation gets too open, one must be cautious of the danger of it becoming a comical conversation... (Laughs) *

During the recent live, both of us were involved in the MC together quite a lot, through that we got closer as well.

Also, Afilia Saga has, once again had their song undertaken as a game's theme!

Happy~~~!!!

The title is…「Koi Wo Game Shinaide!」Producer Momoi Haruko was the one who wrote the lyrics and it became PS3 game「Neptune」's ending theme.

Please continue to support us☆

*(kohipanda ain't really sure :< )

(どうぞよろしくお願いします is a common phrase used which has nuances of being in someone's guidance or care. thus I would translate it as such for simplicity's sake)

Louise and Ayami (post #1)


<Louise>
Hello everybody!!

Afilia Saga's chairman☆I am Louise!!!

This marks the start of the Afilia Saga East series, I am excited about it.☆

Our 4th single『ワタシ☆LOVEな☆オトメ!』(Watashi☆LOVE na☆otome!) was released on 28th april~~~!!!

On top of that, this is the first time our song was selected to be part of a tie-up!!

This made the members' anticipation go UP…!!☆

This time's song is included in the game『W.L.O.世界恋愛機構』(W.L.O. Sekai renai kikou) and one would be able to enjoy it in the game world!   It is a cheerful song about dashing forward for your love♪

The first press edition/limited edition would have the music clip too! Look forward to seeing a comical portrayal…!!

The best part of the song should be when the final『あなたじゃなきゃだめなの!』comes out!*

I thought it would be nice if I received loads of warm hearts!!*

I am with Ayami who joined us from the 4th single! The first impression she left with me was that she was a "Cheerful honor student!!", but as of late her Tennen antics have gone amok and are familiar to us from afilia saga☆

Even now, Ayami's weird antics seem to be coming out in her own way♪(笑)
    Though perhaps she is a girl who doesn't like losing!
Look forward to Ayami's series as well~ ☆


<Ayami>
Nice to meet you!! I came from Hokkoku, I am Afilia Saga East's new member『Ayami Chercy Snow』.It is a great honor to be writing in this column! I will be in your guidance!

I have been recording since『Watashi☆LOVE na☆ Otome!』. When I first saw the energetic dancemoves, I thought that the dance was very cute. I also thought『Wh..., what intensity!』!  Boom.

My favorite was when『Furi kaereba..』was sung, we went round and ended off with a pose!♪

After I became a member of Afilia Saga East, I who have only been watching too much anime found my Schedule book suddenly have its pages filled with black ink! Everyday was very worrying.  Laughs

 Loads of excitement and meeting all the Senpais,  everyday has been simply full of fun and laughter. ♪

I have seen Louise from photos and videos before, but the first time we met for a dance session she welcomed me with a warm smile and I thought『What a wonderful person she is!』!! Laughs

At first, I only knew Louise's mail address so I sent messages to her only!

She is a very dependable and reliable Senpai(senior)♪

From now on, lets work together to bring Afilia Saga to greater heights.

Please take care of me♪

Ayami Chercy Snow was here*

Mirai ga Watashi wo Matteiru

Mirai ga Watashi wo Matteiru
(未来が私を待っている)

Mirai ga Watashi wo Matteiru is the title of the 7th single from Afilia Saga East. It will be released on the 2012/3/28 and there are a total of three versions. Limited edition A and Limited edition B includes a DVD with the package and we also have the Regular edition.

This is one single you must get! Mirai ga Watashi wo Matteiru ,which literally translates to the future is waiting for me, is a song of hope. It is one of those songs that would touch one's hearts. This song comes in the face of many changes including the addition of new members Laura and Emiu, as well as the graduation of the first generation members Meena and Roze. Holding tight to the belief of a better future, one would wait. This is a very important song to the members.

I have heard it live during a Girls Pop'n Party recording when I was in Japan for a holiday.
I have also watched the CM and heard it on radio shows the members attended. The dance is very dynamic and interesting. To say that the lyrics are meaningful is an understatement. The song holds something special for the members and through their energetic performance, one would be able to appreciate that. This song is probably the best one so far with Chiyomaru and Tsunku continuing their collaboration. Afilia Saga East's 7th single's Mirai ga Watashi wo Matteiru is a considerable upbeat song. It boasts a dynamic dance and the synchronization between the lyrics and the dance is uncanny. There is no down moment in this song and it makes one feel energetic enough to want to dance along with the girls. 
The coupling song 「倍速恋愛時計」 or Baisoku renai tokei which literally means a watch that measures speed of love. The dance for this song is very amusing, with a part of the hand actions involving the girls looking at an imaginary watch on their arm. The dance suits the song and one would find themselves wrapped up in the pace of the group. 

The girls of Afilia Saga East are still running campaigns in Japan where they hold events every weekend.
Upcoming next would be 25th of February where there would be a Pajama event with the girls dressing up in the clothes they wear at home to the event. Please show your support in anyway

The Afilia Saga East column at anican covered a special with the two new members of Afilia Saga East. Below is the english translation of the report. (I apologize for any mistake)



Some Photos of the two new members : http://afiliasagaafiririru.blogspot.com/2012/02/pictures-of-new-members-laura-and-emiu.html


<Laura>

Nice to meet you!
My name is Laura Sucreine. I entered Afilia Saga East as a new member during last year's 
2nd one man live
Please call me Sucrei! ('O')/
(kohipanda note: this would sound like Shyu-ku-re)

Before the announcement of me joining Afilia Saga, I was already practising a lot together with 
the other members which would explain why we very close now. I haven't gotten used to photoshoots, recordings and interviews so it has all just been very nervewrecking for me. At first, I felt that I didnt have the time to enjoy the lives etcetera. However recently, dancing and singing were very enjoyable and having a great time with the Senpais made me very happy! *゜It seems as though when I say interesting things, the Senpais will become more energetic as well!
This time I am going to talk about a new member just like me, Emiu!

Emiu is a sweet girl who is a crybaby. She is someone who is very frank. Emiu is like a little devil though,her nickname is 『Emiuten(Emiusan is really an angel)』so as to whether she is a devil or an angel I am confused.When I am with her i would think that she is a little devil (@´∇`), a cute an lovable girl *.

She reads difficult books, have fluffy clothes and very fashionable girl. She is like an opposite of me but to me, she is someone who one can discuss anything with, a kind and reliable buddy.
Emiu who joined saga together with me , I want to be close with her and work towards greater heights together.

By the way, recently I have been saying「I don't know whether it is better to be called Laura or whether being called Sucrei is better」to the Senpais。If I am called「Sucrei」or「Sucrei-chan」I will be very happy~(*´∇`*)

From now on, please take care of us new members Emiu and Laura.

The 7th Single「Mirai ga watashi wo matteiru」's campaign is still ongoing, so please show your support and come down to meet us!

<Emiu>

Everyone, nice to meet you! I am a fresh new member!
I am Emiu from the Roppongi Stars(*・v・*)
I like reading, dancing, playing games, icecream, western clothes, music and... !
Hahaha, there is a lot.

Well then well then.
This time I am going to talk about Laura who is a new member just like me!

When we first met, we did not really speak to each other and I had an initial impression that she was a very mature girl. Now that I think about it, she is nothing like that!(Laugh)

Laura is always busy and also an innocent hardworker. Ah, but there are also some playful moments. (`v´)くくく
Always brings loads of snacks and sweets、unexpectedly gives me chocolates.
Compared to me, she is a totally different girl, so when I spoke with her I would discover new things. As we came in as the same generation, we share a naturally stimulating yet strong relationship.

With such a Laura, it started. Together with 13 buddies, I have been leading a very fulfiling life.
As a new member, there are bound to be many things that I don't understand or cannot do, However, if I treat each one of those as a possibility, things gets more enjoyable.
There will always be these members by my side, supporting me. Together with these members, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished! I breeze through everyday with this belief.

It has been around 2 months since I became a Saga member, I have participated and experienced various stages and events, have I been maturing? I have a feeling I did.

This is all thanks to the support from the wonderful members, staff and above all the Senpais.
Emiu's growth from here on, please continue to watch it! Ne~☆

Hi, I am Ed and am from Singapore.
I started this blog in order to collate information about Afilia Saga East (A.S.E) and hopefully make more people like this group.
There would also be Japanese version of my posts, but as I am still learning Japanese, hope you will be patient with my mistakes.
And by the way, my favorite member is KOHIME! (●ω●)
