S/mileage – “S/mileage 1″ PB Cover Released
As many might know, Saki isn’t within S/mileage anymore to celebrate the release of the awesome first S/mileage PB that features the 4 original members, but I find this PB an amazing opportunity for all of her fans and for 4nin S/mileage fans to enjoy a PB full of wonderful pictures of our beloved 4 girls together in various locations and in different outfits, and enjoy this first and sadly last release as a 4nin S/mileage.
The cover is really exceptional since it shows off how S/mileage-related products are always unique and added with a touch of originality to them weither it’s single covers, posters, DVD covers, etc… and this cover is no exception since it features an image of the girls doing their famous hug pose in the usual line-up with only Ayaka and Yuuka switching places, and they are all wearing original marines outfits made of striped shirts and skirts for Saki and Kanon, and white and blue dresses for Dawa and Yuuka, and I really like how they always settle a similar theme but manage to make each and everyone of them look different and unique.
The setting they are in seems to be a regular room where they are sitting on a floor next to a grey wall with serene face expression on their faces, but the nice touch of the cover is the colored heart shaped wire that circles aorund the member’s heads and forms the title of the PB originally on the free white space in the bottom in the same wire effect, and I specially love how they matched the heart’s different coloring to the member’s initial colors (the heart and text is purple on top and bottom of Kanon, pink for Yuuka, blue for Dawa and green for Sakitty), even though I’d have liked it better if there weren’t that much white space that seems to cut the initial picture.
Overall, I’m really amazed by this cover since it just shows off simply S/mileage in a cute picture with a very cute concept for the title of the PB, and we immediately refer the cover to the girls so hopefully the cover alone will help people to get curious and check out the content of the PB.
The release date is set for 9/26.

Ogawa Saki Officially Graduates From S/mileage And H!P
After S/mileage’s 3 consecutive release events for their 6th, and last 4nin single together Uchouten LOVE, Ogawa Saki will officially graduate and won’t be a part of the H!P family anymore, as well as having her blog closed in order for her to pursue the normal life she seeks by focusing on her studies.
As a big S/mileage fan, I really have to say that it tears my heart to see one of the original members leave so soon and so quickly without previous notice, and Sakitty has always been my favorite S/mileage member so this is a very sad event for me, even though as a true Sakitty fan, I think I, as well as everyone, should keep on supporting her with all of our hearts.
Following is a detailed post with many thoughts about her 7 years of activity in H!P, her years in S/mileage, etc… as well as many information and pictures concerning their last day together and their last events, so please check it out after the break!
First of all, following are detailed info with pictures, all posted by S/mileage Staff on Twitter, concerning their last event that was held today, and a small mention is that it seems that a fan asked them if they could stream the event live on Ustream for fans to enjoy Sakitty’s last performance with the group, but unfortunately they responded that it couldn’t be done, but later on to everyone’s surprise, the stream was actually broadcasted for the last performance live without any notice.
Here are pictures of the rehearsal on stage of the girls before the first performance that ended up nicely, as well as them performing their original B-side Jitensha Chiririn, and I have to say that I would have loved to hear that song being performed live during a concert with those 4 members since it’s now one of my favorite songs by them thanks to the awesome instrumental and calm sound it had.
After the first event and second one finished cleanly, S/mileage Staff also tweeted pictures of their last lunch together, and all of the girls seem really happy and seem to want to enjoy every single moment they have left together, while building up energy for their third and last performance (fans also mentioned that Sakitty was smiling the whole time), and I’m impressed by how professional the girls are being, doing their best in those performances while still being able to do goofy things and laugh around at lunch time, knowing it’s their last together.
As for Sakitty, since all of her fans must be terribly sad, I think we should see the positive thing about the graduation, which is the wonderful 7 years she has spent in H!P entertaining us with her amazing talent, strong voice and energetic character.
Saki joined the H!P Eggs at the age of 7 in 2004 and was a promising Egg to then graduate from Eggs alongside her S/mileage friends in the Spring of 2010 to debut officially within the group; there is no doubt that since she was young, her skills were obvious and got many fans wondering what will she do later on, and I’m amazed by the changes her appearance and her voice undertook since Sakitty went from being a cute 7 year old to a young and fresh lady nowadays.
Her improvement and devotion within H!P Eggs and S/mileage are definitely to be remembered since she always pushed herself to achieve the best of things and make her fans happy, and there is no doubt that she shined alongside the other members, so please enjoy her first official PV within S/mileage in their indie single aMa no Jaku, their major debut Yume Miru 15sai as well as their last single with her Uchouten LOVE that is, until now, their highest selling single:
Thank you for everything and best of luck for what’s to come!

Smileage and SBC Start Smile! Dance Contest
S/mileage are teaming up with SBC to start a Smile! Dance Contest.
S/mileage will appear at the finals.
It seems that the winner of the contest will get a prize of 100,000 Yen (about $1000 US dollars) which is a great prize apart from the chance of reaching the finals where S/mileage will be present, so I hope many people enter the contest.
I will update with more details once they are released.
The final round will be on 10/22.
smileage wins best new artists
On the 52th Japan Records Awards (sponsored by the Japan Composers Association), held on the 30th at the New National Theatre on Shibuyaku, the 4-member unit S/mileage was chosen as the Best New Artist. When they received the award, the four girls were overjoyed and said in tears "We'll do our best in order to win Best Artist on Japan Records Awards next year".
S/mileage is in Hello! Project, they're a female idol group with an average age of 15 years old. On April last year, they were chosen from Hello! Project Eggs to form this group. The group debuted on May.
They have released four indie singles. Musical producer Tsunku launched the "Target: debut! S/mileage smiles campaign", and the conditions for them to have a major debut were "to collect the photos of the smiles of 10,000 persons until the deadline, which will be used to complete a mosaic". Said challenge was achieved and thus they had their major debut this year with the single "Yumemiru Fifteen".

S/mileage debuted on May this year, and their three singles have entered the top 10 of oricon chart. They had their first nation-wide tour on fall, and they have gained steady fans. It's been 3 years since a Japanese artist has won this award. The four of them are walking towards their big dreams, and Wada firmly said "We'll do our best as the beautiful-legged idol group with the fresh legs in Japan".
◆ S/mileage: 4-member group that belongs to Hello! Project, members are Wada Ayaka (leader, 16), Maeda Yuuka (16), Fukuda Kanon (15) and Ogawa Saki (14). Formed in April 2009.
