S/mileage スマイレージ

Origianlly a unit created out of rom the Hello! Projects Egg:

S/mileage was born with a 4 member jpop group out of Japan and has grown into being one of the hot girl groups out there.   Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon, and Ogawa Saki graduated out of Hello Project Egg and I guess if you want to say was promoted to becoming a new group for the what I like to call the, "Hello! Project Empire". 

After a test or I guess challenge by the owner of H!P Tsunku which they had to succeeed in Tsunku said he would sign them up.  On November 23, 2009, during Hello! Pro Egg's Shinjin Kouen concert, a video message from Tsunku was played to S/mileage, where it was announced that they would graduate from Hello! Pro Egg and make their debut in Hello! Project in 2010. Initially when the group was first formed, Tsunku had said that in order to make the best group possible, additional members might be added or current members might be removed. Wada, Maeda, Fukuda, and Ogawa were confirmed to be the definite line-up of S/mileage. They graduated from Hello! Pro Egg on March 27, 2010.

In February, Tsunku announced S/mileage's challenge for their major debut. By the end of March, they were to collect 10,000 photos of people's smiles and assemble them on a 2 x 4 meter poster board. Anyone could send in photos through the official website. In April, the announcement was made that the goal was achieved and S/mileage made their major debut in May.

AM, an “animation, music and manga” convention based in Southern California, recently announced two more bands as guests of honor: female pop-rock band SCANDAL and visual-kei band Sadie. Details about their performances have not yet been released.

The convention has already announced several other guests, including heidi. and Wakeshima Kanon.

SCANDAL formed in 2006 and made their indies debut in 2008. That same year, they toured the U.S. as part of the SXSW Japan Nite tour, and they also made a stop at the Sakura-Con convention in Seattle. They also performed at conventions in France and Hong Kong that summer, before they made their major label debut a couple months later. Their connections to anime include songs used in “Bleach” and “Fullmetal Alchemist.”

Sadie have been around since 2005 and have released a dozen singles and multiple albums, but this will be their first concert outside of Japan.

AM takes place at the Anaheim Convention Center on July 1-3, the same weekend as Anime Expo. More details about AM can be found on the convention’s website.
