Tokyo Joshiryu
Avex has unveiled a new five-member idol group called Tokyo Joshiryu (東京女子流), also known as Tokyo Girls’ Style. This is the first girl group created by Avex since SweetS in 2003.
Avex was Japan’s leading dance record company during the nineties, and continues producing and recording some of Japan’s most famous J-pop singers such as Japan’s highest selling female musician, Ayumi Hamasaki. Avex Trax also provides theme music soundtracks to many anime and a few video games.
The group consists of leader Miyu Yamabe, Ayano Konishi, Hitomi Arai, Yuri Nakae, and Mei Shoji, who are reportedly between the ages of 11 and 13.
Tokyo Joshiryu is aiming to be active not just in Japan, but throughout the rest of Asia as well. They do not yet have a CD release planned, but their first official live performance will be on Feb.7 at Shibuya O-Nest.
The group has already opened a website,a blog, a Mixi page, and a Twitter account.
