Actually most of them are just normal, pretty but normal. Not really those kind of Top Model/Global Celebrities kind of pretty. But since most of them are very young, so they have the cute factor with baby fats and such. You sure you don't want to run for an idol audition someday?  Well, not everyone is that good looking. LMAO Oh, I can't even sing,dance,etc. |

^ Oh it reminds me of a MoMo PV I don't know them ^ Neither do I, they are more irrelevant than even Weather Girls, and that is pretty low. More than half of their releases never got pass 100 on Oricon... thats worse than quite a number of indie releases. Plus they have a huge number of graduations as well over the 4 yrs. |

New Girl Group Alert Avex is releasing a new group by the name of 'Faky' (stupid name LOL). They are revealing one member at a time starting with Diane's teaser. "The name FAKY (fei:key) was originally derived from the word ‘FAKE’ to challenge themselves to bring something new and real to the Japanese music scene. FAKY consists of bilingual members as it looks to expand its reach outside of Japan as the next generation girls group from Tokyo. FAKY’s message is for girls to “do what they want, the way they want” as that is the FAKY’s way of life. FAKY will make its official debut in 2013 as a dance & vocal group that stands atop the J-POP scene to provide the world with a fusion of world-class music and the fashion and culture of Tokyo"  faky.jp/test/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Profile_1.jpgDate of Birth: 1996.1.28 Blood Type: O Language: Japanese, English Hobby: piano, singing 「A dedicated performer who won the “avex audition MAX 2013”」 Born in Okinawa, Japan. Half Japanese, half American bilingual Okinawan beauty. The “Cinderella Story”, coming out of nowhere to win the “avex audition MAX 2013”. Working as a student model in Okinawa, Diane brings a breath of fresh air with her Okinawan beauty and melodic vocals. She is set to make her debut in 2013 as a member of FAKY, realizing her long-time dream of becoming a major label artist.

kanonnoInteresting although personally I wish they will invest in more singers than idols.... They haven't been able to find a successful formula since the days of SPEED... E-girls don't exactly counts as successful... since its building upon EXILE's brand... Wish they will scout for the next Ayumi & Namie rather than Faky.... which I agree is a very irrelevant name...

I agree. They need some fresh and modern....something that will grab ALOT of attention. Not that idols are not good,but idk.....only thing they got going for them lately I guess is exile and they are getting bet by Sony and Universal. They are suppose to be a 'vocal/dance' group....so I guess that is a step up. |

Idol... everyone is either debuting idols or Visual Kei, no wondered Jpop is very bland now... I don't mind if they start flooding normal bands like High and Mighty Color, Do As Infinity....etc or self-composer/songwriter like YUI... more favor of music is exciting.... |

The music industry in general all over the world has changed from what it used to be. Idols seemed to flooded and took over the scene over there. |

Actually only in Japan and Korea, other places are still producing full-fledged singers/bands But out of 100 idols who debuts, less than 1/5 is getting relevant... |

kanonnoI see where Avex is going with this group.... They are not targeting Japanese audiences, they are aiming for mainstream english market.... I doubt they can break into US/Euro market even if they have a good command of english... Neither are Japanese crazy for mixed blood Jap.....

I think they they are trying to break into the market just yet, but I did notice that the members so far speak English and Japanese. There is also a mixed member... There have been mixed blood jap that has been very successful before. |

There have been mixed blood jap that has been very successful before. They have been successful mixed blood jap of cos... Well they are going for the American style here, very western route... Actually if I'm not wrong, all 3 of them are mixed blood jap... IDK if this is the scouting criteria... but its not that far off... Good command of english is still very irrelevant for Jpop market and Japanese showbiz... they still root on traditional japanese teaching... Maybe Avex is trying to pull a PCD or Destiny's Child concept here.... I can't be very far off |
