The top 10 of the 2009 Super Girls recently got together, with each of them writing a weibo message with one character and their group picture, with the characters combining to say “We will always be together like this.”

This is not the first time they’ve done this.  Earlier this year, they had a get together and  were able to get seven of them together to make “We will always be together.”  2005 girls may be the most talented, but the 2007 boys and 2009  wins out in cuteness and friendship.

Super Girls live castle feed reaches a million online viewers

July 21, 2011 | Posted in Mainland China,Super Girls 2009, Tagged

 

In front of their new home, three of the 2011 Super Girls prepare to live out their dreams.

Every girl must have dreamed of living in a castle when they were little. The Super Girls (快乐女声) were able to fulfill their dream this year by moving in the Swan Castle for the duration of the show. With twenty cameras capturing their every move and speech, the girls are under no less scrutiny than real princesses. The live feed of their lives has remained constant at over a million viewers at any given time this week, up from a max of eighty thousand before the first competition aired on Friday.

Unlike Western reality shows that focus on the bad side of humans, the addition of the live feed seems to only have made fans fonder of everyone. Fans spend hours spazzing over Liu Xin sewing performance outfits for DL, or the endless karaokeeing of the girls. Watch the live stream here Beijing time 9am-midnight and the weekly broadcasted Girls Academy show on YouTube here .

Going on Vacation (Kind Of)

Li Yuanxi, Pan Chen and Liu Xijun in China's coastal city Sanya

This week I’ll be in and out, intermittently, and idarklight will be going to China soon as well for a month. Even when she’s  not posting, she does a lot of stuff behind the scenes so don’t be surprised if the site falls into the crapper when she’s gone.

However idarklight will still be posting some things before she’s gone, including the big Chinese ethnic minorities in Chinese entertainment post (including Han Geng) so please be on the lookout for it. Otherwise, just talk amongst yourself and keep everything civil.

eeMedia Family Winter MV pictures Part 2

Li Yuanxi, Liu Xijun, and Zheng Shuang are the second group to film for the eeMedia family MV

So apparently the “Winter/New Years” MV  will actually have most of the eeMedia family but they’re being filmed separately, because it’s easier to coordinate. And eeMedia is really impressing me with how well-coordinated it’s become. Last year was a lot of firsts for the company and it showed. The previous MV was cute, but with stock outfits and everyone looked more tired than happy. The New Years concert also turned out messy. But this year everything  in Long Danni’s plan for the company  seems to have just about fallen into place and hopefully this year the New Years concert will be better too.

Continuing the  tradition from the last post, have a bit of Top Combine: new individual pics. Their album release date is confirmed as Dec. 13th, which is also coincidentally, Kimi Qiao Renliang‘s album release date. He also released new album pics. The boys aren’t trying to spread out at all are they?
