Knight graduating from ZeBRA☆STAR

On August 17th this year Knight officially graduated from the group ZeBRA☆STAR. He was a part of both units, ZeBRA☆RED and ZeBRA☆BLACK. The reason he graduated is that he will study overseas. Pretty much all the members wrote blog posts about the event and all of them felt very supportive and thankful towards Knight. I think he has been an important part of the group being a little bit like glue between the two units. It's no supprise that the members and Knight himself were sad about him leaving but I am sure he has a bright future ahead and I wish him all the best.

I am also looking forward to what the future brings for ZeBRA☆STAR. I am pretty excited about the third single which will be released on September 14th. 

At least another picture of the graduation.

EBiDAN Ranking 2019

I first posted this on JPopAmino but decided to post it here as well.

Today I will do my personal ranking of all the active EBiDAN groups right now. I did that like two or three years ago and thought it’s time for a new one. I will not include Battle Boys because they are not an actual group and I won’t include Hongyo.jp because they will be disbanded soon. So let’s start!

12. ZeBRA☆STAR

Favorite Member: /

Favorite Song: Dancing! Dancing!

To be honest after Aruki left the group I stopped caring about them much. Since then there have been so much changes again. Three new members have been added, Knight is now a member of both ZeBRA☆STAR Black and Red, Kousei is now a Z☆S Black member and Kaito changed his name to only Kai. So much is going on.

I should really get on track with them again because I want to support all the EBiDAN groups and while I will always be sad over Aruki who left them I still want to give my best to support the remaining members.

11. Edamame Beans

Favorite Member: Keyon & Haruto

Favorite Song: Puzzle

They are so freakin cute and Keyon is such a brat being all loud and noisy but I love him for that. I like that they try to speak some English once in a while, like doing English introduction videos. That’s awesome.

As for their music I do like their songs but they still have to improve their singing skills a lot. However their dancing is pretty good already. I will enjoy watching them get better and grow up.

10. Sakura Shimeji

Favorite Member: Hyouga

Favorite Song: Ikujinashi

As for Sakura Shimeji I love both Gaku and Hyouga, they are so cute and I bet really nice and lovely too. However when it comes to their music, sometimes I feel like their voices are just to high for my taste. I do love some of their songs and I usually enjoy their concerts but out of EBiDAN they are probably the group I like the least songs of. Nevertheless I will keep supporting them because I love the members and there are songs I love.

9. Starmen KiDS

Favorite Member: Taisei

Favorite Song: STAR★MEN SUMMER DAYS!, Starmen Pirates

These little boys always surprise me with their music because I always expect childish songs that I am not much into but many of their songs turn out to be really addicting.

Also some of the members have been with EBiDAN for so long already, it’s crazy. Taisei, Rui and Taishi are in EBiDAN for around 6 years already, that’s nearly half their lives, since all three of them turn 13 years old this year. So crazy.

They still need more training but in these years they improved a lot and I am very much looking forward to watch them grow up into talented, handsome man.

8. EBiSSH

Favorite Member: Tetta

Favorite Song: Koi no Timing

It took really long until I started to like EBiSSH. I first checked them out when the “EBiDAN The Street” Groups have been featured in the EBiDAN magazine for the first time. They all looked so handsome but when I checked some fan recordings of some of their in-store lives, I felt like they lack too much vocal skills. I really didn’t enjoy their music at all. It took as long as their cd debut to get me interested in them again. I love “Koi no Timing” which is their debut song and when checking out their live again, I felt that they already improved. Until today they still have to improve their vocal skills but nowadays I do enjoy listening to Tettas voice a lot and Rei sounds so much better now too. I can really say that EBiSSH is a group that grew on me.

7. Satori Shonen Dan

Favorite Member: Eiku

Favorite Song: I wanna say...

They were the first “EBiDAN The Street” group I loved. Right from the start you got the feeling that these three boys are really talented. Eiku has a very beautiful voice and Hayato and Kenshin have always been amazing dancer. I still enjoy watching their old street lives on YouTube. Also because my favorite song of them still hasn’t been released on cd. I am seeing a bright future for Satori Shonen Dan.

6. M!LK

Favorite Member: Sano Hayato

Favorite Song: milky snow, Coffee ga Nomimasen

M!LK went through some major member changes last year and I think you can’t really compare the old M!LK with the new one. I do like both a lot though. I feel like even though the new members are younger, their music is much more mature now. However I do like the cute music they did before too. Listening to my favorite songs of them you will know for sure that I a really like their cute songs!

Despite their music I really like the members too. I know all of them since they were still trainees. Mizuki, Jinto and Daichi have already been a part of the trainees when I got really hard into EBiDAN. That makes them very special to me. However Sano is still my bias. He is so freakin adorable. And the new members are great too, Ryubi e.g. has always been a trainee I really liked, so I was happy he joined M!LK.

5. AMEZARI -RED STARS-

Favorite Member: Hibiki 

Favorite Song: With My Step

I liked them a lot even before I met them this year but after meeting them I started to love them SO much more. Before I mostly liked Hibiki but now I like all the members so much. They are so cute, nice and awesome and I hope they will get more and more popular and can reach their goals. What stands out most when it comes to them is their incredible dancing skills. I mean they are still pretty young but so freakin good dancer. As for their singing they still have to improve but there definitely is potential. I mean they don’t sound bad, especially Yori has such a nice voice, I was so supprised when I saw them live. The others have nice voices too but I think Yori has the most talent and the others just need more vocal training. However I do enjoy their music, not everything but a lot of their songs.

4. Super★Dragon

Favorite Member: Tsuyoshi

Favorite Song: Paya Paya

I saw them live three times already. Once in 2016 and twice this year. They are great dancer and I love the voices of Tsuyoshi and Hyoma a lot. Especially Tsuyoshi has such an extremely beautiful voice. But I also love the rap of Jean a lot and Koki and Tomoya doing pretty good with rapping too. Besides their performance I like the members a lot too. They are cute when interacting with each other. I absolutely recommend watching “Super Dragon TV” on YouTube, if you want to get more into them. Another thing I love about them is of course their music. I love their mix of rock, pop, EDM and rap music. They have so many freakin awesome songs!!

3. PRIZMAX

Favorite Member: Tsubasa

Favorite Song: Never, Three Things, Without You, Lonely Summer Days, Up > Up Beat, Fantasista, Mysterious Eyes, Orange Moon, Truth, HUG & KISS

I still remember when they were only three members and you could find so many fan recordings of them on YouTube. When they announced to debut in 2013, I got so excited and happy and I was also happy about Yuuki and Tsubasa joining the group. Since then they have released so many good songs. I love listening to their whole discography. There is not a single song of them I don’t like.

Something I like about their songs a lot is that they have a lot of English in their songs, this way it’s much easier for me to sing along with the songs and I absolutely love this.

2. Chotokkyu

Favorite Member: Takuya

Favorite Song: Gr8test Journey

Chotokkyu is probably the most well known group of EBiDAN and it’s no wonder. They are great dancer, their songs are freakin good and the members are lovely. Also their concerts are really fun to watch all the time. Besides all these reasons I like them for their great humor. One scene I can’t get over is Yusuke dressed as a girl saying „muri desu“ in the music video for „Tsundere Chibi Ouji“.

Thought this whole video is just so freakin hilarious!! I really love these guys a lot.

1. DISH//

Favorite Member: Daichi

Favorite Song: Honestly I cant choose one... but here is a few songs I would recommend listening to. Hareru YA!, Yume Tabi, Starting Over, Yay Natsuyasumi, Flame and The Phantom.

Still and probably always my favorite group is DISH//. Why you might think? The answer is easy, when it comes to DISH// I like everything. I am hugely addicted to their music, the members can be super weird but are freakin lovely and adorable too, their live performances are perfect (I actually saw them live twice, so I can tell for sure) and I love them deeply from the bottom of my heart!!

That was my ranking of the EBiDAN groups. I would love to get to know your ranking too!!

EBiDAN Discography

I don't know if any of you is interessted in this but I made a list of all the releases of EBiDAN groups, that also includes all the releases of the trainees. I find it interessting to see how much has been released in which year. I think it's awesome that EBiDAN Okinawa were allowed to release a single and EBiDAN Osaka's "AMEZARI RED STARS" released and album. I wish for the other trainee groups to release one as well. EBiSEN (EBiDAN Sendai) and EBiDAN Nagoya are awesome, they deserve an own release! I feel like there could have been a little more releases this year but as long as they keep releasing cds everything is fine for me. Here is the list.

10 Reasons why I love EBiDAN

*This is a post I first shared on JPop Amino but I felt like posting it here too!*

EBiDAN is my all time favorite group of artists! It's actually a dance and acting school for boys under Stardust but grew bigger and bigger and is now known for a handful of great groups. Today I want to tell you 10 reasons why I love EBiDAN so much and maybe if you never heard of them you might get interested!

I didn't intent to write so much but yeah... it's actually quite a lot I wrote!

#01 EBiDAN the Street

EBiDAN the Street is a project of EBiDAN that focuses on groups that mostly do street performances. I personally only know about two. Satori Shonen Dan, which I think are the most well known (and in my opinion most talented) and Edamame Beans! EBiSSH (former known as Monochrome Rainbow) have been a group under this project before as well but they got their own little project and are not under this project anymore!

#02 awesome musicians

What I love a lot is that EBiDAN has a handful of awesome musicians under them! And with this I don't mean the vocalists but all the awesome guys who play an instrument! When it comes to playing instruments I always liked CustomiZ the most, sadly they already disbanded but at least their drummer Daichi is now a member of DISH//! However I hope to be able to watch Hiroki performing on stage someday again! I always loved how his whole appearance changed as soon as he started playing the bass! That is one giftet bassist! But Daichi is an incredible drummer as well and coming to DISH// I really like the guitar playing of Takumi and Masaki as well and even thought not as good as Hiroki I also love Ryuji as a bassist! Besides them SakuraShimeji members Hyouga and Gaku are really good with playing the guitar as well! I hope with more groups coming there will be more who play an instrument!

#03 variety in music

When it comes to the EBiDAN groups and bands you will find they all have a different style! DISH// who have a rock sound to them, Chotokkyu with their electronic influences, Magic Boyz who doing Hip Hop music, Starmen Kids with their very childish pop, PrizmaX who are very much influenced by western pop, Super☆Dragon who create a mix of EDM and rock, M!LK who mostly produce very fun and energetic pop and last but not least SakuraShimeji with their very sweet and pure jpop!

#04 awesome vocalists

Watching as many lives of them as I can I know that some of them have stunning voices! My favorite being Tsuyoshi of Super☆Dragon because he has a very outstanding voice and I enjoy listening to him a lot! But when it comes to Super☆Dragon I also appreciate the voices of Koki, Hyoma and Tomoya a lot and Jean is a great rapper! After Tsuyoshi my second favorite vocalist of EBiDAN is Takumi, his voice is incredible, very powerful and extremely nice to the ears and it's one you easily recognize! Thought Masaki has a nice voice too and again I really appreciate the rap of Ryuji and To-i! PrizmaXs Win and Tim have very beautiful and strong voices as well! I saw them live once and they blew me away with their great voices! And then they have Daiki who is my favorite rapper of all the EBiDAN members! Then there are Takashi and Koichi of Chotokkyu who have super beautiful voices too! I prefer Koichi a little over Takashi but they both have very beautiful voices! When it comes to M!LK I really like the voices of Jinto and Sano thought they still can improve! To be honest I am not a big fan of Harukis voice! It's a little to high for my taste! Another great vocalist of EBiDAN is Eiku of Satori Shonen Dan! His voice is super beautiful, he still needs more training but there is SO much potential in him! Sakura Shimejis Gaku and Hyouga have very nice and soothing voices as well! At least I want to mention Mahiro of Magic Boyz. Even thought I am not the biggest MagiBo fan I can't deny that I really appreciate his voice! He is definitely the best rapper in this group and the one I see the most potential in! About all the other vocalist they need more training but I am sure they will get better with time!

#05 EBiDAN songs

Despite that of course each group has their own songs, there are a few songs that are sang by all of them together! They are like the theme songs for EBiDAN! They mostly sing these song at the "EBiDAN the Live" events. My favorite of these songs is "Koigokoro" but all of them are extremely beautiful! The other songs are "Believe Yourself", "Sparkling Adventure" and "Koi no Ding Dong". I often get emotional watching them all performing together because even thought they all have a big age gap, their popularity is very different and the music is so different they are like a huge family supporting each other and getting along really well!

#06 the Trainees

Ok Trainees are nothing special when it comes to Japanese music but what I really like about the Trainees of EBiDAN is that you can find them all over Japan! There is not only a Tokyo and maybe Osaka trainee group but also one of Okinawa, Sendai, Nagoya and Fukuoka! All of these Trainees have activities in their surrounding and even small events hold just for them! They get dance and vocal lessons and have their own merchandise. What I also like about the Trainees is that they not only have an own blog but also their own twitter and instagram account not to forget the website "EBiDAN.jp" on which you can find all the important news about them!

Besides all that what I love the most about the trainees of EBiDAN is that they have not only their own live events but also their own tv show! The first one was called just EBiDAN and after that EBiDAN Amigo started to air and is still ongoing! There was a show called EBiDAN Bomba but it didn't last long and their is a show on YouTube that is called EBiDAN station but it's not released regular! However these shows mostly focus on the trainees means you can really get to know and like them before they eventually have a debut! That's an awesome thing I love and the reason I like the members of M!LK, Magic Boyz, Super☆Dragon, Sakura Shimeji, Starman Kids and ZeeBra Star a lot!! I got to know all of them before their debut I liked some of them a lot when they were still trainees!

#07 Stardust Channel

As an EBiDAN fan living outside of Japan you might think it's hard to find all the shows and lives they did online but it's actually not because there is the Stardust Channel! This is a website you can creat an account on even when living outside of Japan!! It costs 400 yen a month and you need a credit card but it's really not much for the content you get! You can watch many of their lives including the "EBiDAN the Live 2016", full concerts of some groups, all the shows they release and special content! It's really amazing and I love that it's available for us international fans as well!

If you have interests in joining I did a post on that on my blog, klick here to go there! I absolutely recommend it if you love EBiDAN!!

#08 their promotions

EBiDAN was able to get quite big in such a short time because of their great promotions! Besides having various shows that air on tv, and them appearing on various other variety shows, they also held events and concerts regular and their groups attend other big events!

They have an own magazine which only focuses on them and are regular featured in magazines like JUNON and Backstage Pass!

They have temporary fan cafes (I went to an chotokkyu one this year, see picture above, and loved it) and do quite a lot of free lives, especially the newer groups!

Besides that they are cooperating with HMV and therefore have their own EBiDAN space at every HMV store in Japan, which gives them more of a spotlight! But even in other stores like Tower Records or Tsutaya you will most eventually find at least a small EBiDAN corner!

#09 their concerts/lives

(From Time Limit Museum 1.1.2017 of DISH//)

I own most of their concert DVDs and love all of them! They always do a great show and include something special in their concerts! For e.g. DISH// always do a special challenge and show the results at the concerts e.g. for the Time Limit Museum their challenge was to master playing the Shamisen (a tradition Japanese instrument). They honestly did so well with that! I was super excited listening them playing it while wearing beautiful traditional clothes! Chotokkyu's concerts are very fun too because in general these boys have a lot of fun at stage and their songs are fun but what I love about them is that they focus so much on the dancing! I mean they are said to have 5 main dancer and two back vocalists so it's obvious that they focus on their dancing a lot! However seeing their concerts is much better then you might think! Their dancing is very powerful and outstanding and I always enjoy their performances to the fullest!

I also love the simplicity of Sakura Shimejis lives and the cute lives of M!LK! Super☆Dragon on the other hand has a very strong badass image and that's what their performances always feel like! I was lucky enough to see them live for real and I enjoyed those three songs they performed SO much! Their dancing feels powerful and the vocals of Tsuyoshi made me melt!

Same goes for the vocals of Win and Tim of PrizmaX! A dream came true when I saw them live and they are really adorable! Win is such a flirty guy what made the performance even more fun to watch and the others were awesome too! Always kind of outstanding for me is Tsubasa who is really dorky and super lovely!

All in one I would always recommend watching a live of them! All of the EBiDAN groups are wonderful live!!!!! 

#10 The groups

Best for last, the groups! To be honest each group is already one reason to love EBiDAN but that would have been to easy so I decided put them all together under one point! I can honestly say that I like all the groups under EBiDAN thought there is some I like more and some less! For example my least favorite group is MAGiC BOYZ and my all time favorite is DISH//! But In general they are all incredible and I enjoy everything of them, may it be their music, lives, tv shows or anything else I can find of them!

Does any of you like EBiDAN? What are your reasons for liking them? If you didn't know EBiDAN are you interested now?

[History]

~[2010]~

On the 1st May 2010 the auditions for EBiDAN officially started and did last until the 20th June 2010. Exactly one month later the 56 members who did it have been announced. Besides many new to the scene members also PrizmaX joined EBiDAN and from then on are seen as the older-brother-members that will guide and help the other members. In August the official blog (the same they still have) already went online and shortly after profiles of the member have started to get shared. Also they aired first videos with the members getting shown. Here are a view ones.

From 27th to 29th August they had their first live performance called "EBiDANの文化祭はまぁ〜文化のカヲリがしないのだの巻" (If anyone can translate this I would be happy!!). It was a stomp play and even has been released on DVD (I assume you were only able to buy it at the event).

The first EBiDAN Live has been held on the 22nd November and was called "EBiDAN The Live After School Vol. 1". At the concert they performed the songs "Sparkling Adventure" and "Koi no Ding Dong" for the first time. For "Sparkling Adventure" the PrizmaX member have been in focus and the mein vocalists for "Koi no Ding Dong" have been Masaki, Koichi (later from Chotokkyu) and Hayakawa Yushou (I don't know if the third name is correct).
At the end of the year (25th December) they released their first single called "Sparkling Adventure / Koi no Ding Dong". It was released in four different versions, with different people on the covers.

(If I find bigger versions I will exchange the pictures!)

~[2011]~

On 11th March the second EBiDAN Live was supposed to be held but because of the big earthquake it has been cancled. It later was held on the 2nd April and was called "EBiDAN The Live After School Vol.2".

They even held a very small second "EBiDAN The Live After School Vol.2" on the 4th June. This concert was held at a Tower Records venue in Tokyo with only 11 EBiDAN member. Thought at this event TR2Y2 made their first apperance as a unit.

"EBiDAN THE Live After School Vol. 3" has been held pretty soon on the 17th July 2011. The Opening song was "Ikenai Taiyou" and they also played "Koi no Ding Dong".

group photo of EBiDAN The Live After School Vol. 3

Starting from the 6th August up to the 20th August EBiDAN members regular held the event "EBiDAN The Street" in commemoration of the past of PrizmaX. Because since PizmaX has been formed they always did lives on the street. Here are two videos I found on youtube.



Also this was the frst time that fans could buy goods and tickets for their next event and they even did autograph sessions and the fans were able to take pictures with the members.
