The old thread had reached 500+ posts.

sifow has also stopped using livedoor as the site that hosts her blog, she has moved to Ameba.

if you look through her new blog it has pictures of her holiday in Guam!

wow didn't know the last thread was already at 500
i didn't know that most of her discography didn't chart >_<
<3 i love her blog banner! so cute!
sifow is still so gorgeous!

Sifow was famous for having the #1 blog on livedoor, but in less than a month of transitioning to Ameba filled with Japan's most famous. sifow's blog is currently #12 under the business blog category and #25 under the professional category. Hopefully, sifow's Gal Revolution will get more exposure.

Where are all of sifow's AHS fans? lol

OMG I had NO IDEA she changed blogs!!! I always check her livedoor blog everyday and was really starting to wonder why she hadn't updated since, like, Christmas! THANK YOU for the new link! I really need to start paying more attention.

BTW, how are you doing? :)

omg!!! so cool, she replied to you *_________________* she's such a sweet person :thud

i really want her to come back to the music scene!! T_________T cant she do both at the same time (i'm so selfish :P)

I really miss her songs :(
I wish she would come back with a new single soon :P

I wonder why she left livedoor. Anyways I hope that after she opens her school she comes back to the music scene. Also I want to know about the situation she mentioned. I hope it isn't too serious.

she stopped her blog on livedoor? why :(

I really hope that she will start releasing again, I really miss her releases

Well if I'm honest, judging by her blog updates she doesn't seem that busy at all. So I don't see why she couldn't have released a single or something by now. Maybe she just doesn't have any interest in making music anymore?

We haven't heard anything about this "school" since then, so...

I've always been pretty sure that's the reason too. :B

I miss her too, a lot. :(

Didn't know that there was a thread, or that Shig changed blog host sites. Why is everyone going to Ameba? I liked her Livedoor blog :( Oh well, blog posts are blog posts.

Well, one more year until the school opens!

how is the school going? pictures..something?

^ you will need to probably raid her blog for pictures.

I don't see Shiho coming back as an artist. So guess it could be safe to say~ bye bye sifow.

^ :thud you really think she'll leave the music industry for good??

Well, we will just have to wait and see.

I really hope that she doesn't leave the music industry for good....

That'd be a catastrophe :weep I miss sifow music.

we wish she could still make music, but most likely she won't T_T

Well, we shall see.

But, this school sounds exciting! I can't wait for it to be up and running!

Does anyone know if these are sifow's parents in this blog post: http://ameblo.jp/fujitashiho/theme3-...0918.html#main

I can't read most of it, but I do see the word "Mama", but I'm not 100% sure.

http://ameblo.jp/fujitashiho/entry-10253376781.html

I really love how sifow has just discovered Victoria Secret's LOVE SPELL fragrance line. XD It's my favorite and I always use the lotion. It smells yummy!

XDDD I didn't know about that line

everytime the tread goes up after a long time, I always think there's a new release
...XD

^ XD that's why i speedily came in here thinking you had something new to tell us @_@...oii

:laugh
I did the same thing XDDD

we can always hope...who knows...well only her XD

ah~ though do you guys think that sifow really will come back? @_@

I hope she does :( I think we can only wait until that school of hers open next year lol.

OMG today i dreamed about her coming back, and then i saw that this thread was active so i thought maybe i can see the future XDD but i was wrong :weep

i really miss her, SHIHOOOOO WE WANT YOU BACKK

omg come baaaaaaaack :thud

I thought there are some news but no!

lets share some pictures!!

i just saw these one a few weeks ago for the first time, she looks soooo cute!!!!!


YAY!!!

yay for more kimono/yukata pictures, i don't know the difference between them XD

lol XD doenst matter, at least she looks cute :P

she does!!! i love the sour cream and onion pic the most XD

me too XD i wonder if it tastes good? (im talking about the chips :P)

lol i personally love it <3 *o*
so where is the school supposed to be located at?

i dont think we have that one here :( but we do have paprika :luv2 and that mexican one oohhhh that one is soooo good :drool

i dont think we know anything about the school.. only that its going to open in 2010 and that its for gyaruo's.. =/ at least thats all what i know :P

i wonder if there really is a school :lech

what i think of the school is students come and there's this crazy teacher with super blond poofy hair and they have different courses, history of gyaru, history of hime-gyaru, etc. XD

:roflmao i think your right about the teacher, i thought the same XD but maybe theyre going to teach how to start your own business or something and also to whipe out the bad image of gyaruo's..?

i would love to be on that school though, it should be so much fun :P

so it'll probably be like a school for gyarus that probably didn't care about school very much, like a little mini college?

are they actually building a building? it would just make me feel better if i see some pictures XD

i dont know i was just saying something :P
i wanna see some pictures too! maybe sifow;s posting it on her blog, i never check,,

haha me neither, is it me or do most japanese bloggers space a lot @_@ like one sentence






then it's it like this XD

I don't know what you are talking about






they never do that





:rolleyes :laugh <
yeah so in the end when you look at it...they don't wrote lots of things xD
I don't think they'll build a building, I guess they'll rent or buy a place

:roflmao your right XDD

i hope her school will be succesful! she deserves it :yes and then she can come back to the music industry :lech

oh picture sharing... well when I'm home (friday maybe) I could share some of my sifow pics :D Well I think I have a few hundred :laugh

^please do! :luv2

i was watching the making of from kumikuu's koi no tsubomi and there was this part where she looked SO MUCH like sifow :thud

LOOK:

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/7438/vlcsnap51761.png http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/471/u7trhfdg.png

omg (O_O)
she definitly looks like sifow

sifow is a mix of kuu and ayu, it's crazy

in the LOVE AND PEACE PV, there's a point where she really looks like ayu

If I'm not mistaken, you guys were talking about what sifow's school will be about? In an interview she says that her school is going to teach gals about information technology, the music industry and entertainment. So, being able to use computers professionally, how to become a singer, producer, composer etc. of just general stuff in entertainment, which is a whole range of jobs. It's a really good idea, since a lot of gals drop out of high school, and don't go to university or college.

^ oh ok! thankyou for explaining :glomped aww sifow is such a nice girl!!!

omg yes!! your right she also looks like ayu :thud creeppyyyy

thanks for sharing. I find the kimono-glasses picture so funny

:laugh I knew you guys would think there was some major sifow news! Nope, sorry. I check her blog nearly everyday and as far as I know, she hasn't brought up her school... I mean, she could have, because I can't read Japanese, but I haven't seen any pictures about it at least.

I really miss Sifow. I think her music would really sell now seeing people are more into Pop/Techno/Electropop scene. Does anyone know how long her Avex contract is?

did it end? or avex is still paying her to do nothing?

I don't know :shrug
because her avex website is still working
maybe they just stopped paying her until she releases something new?
afterall it's avex...and avex doesn't want to loose money XD

I always thought her contract ended or whatever since she wasn't selling enough for Avex to really make any money... and that was the "big announcement" she had regarding her music but she never actually made an announcement about it, did she?! Man, I would cry if she released something new!!!

Okay, I have a bit of news on sifow. I think the reason that she hasn't been talking too much about her school is because she has taken on two projects recently.

One, is called the Edge Collection, which I think is similar to the Emerald Drive and Eco Rave events. http://www.ecolle.jp/index.html

The second is called NoGal, which is a program that is helping to improve Japan's agriculture sector and also, if I'm not mistaken has something to do with a new line of clothes. http://garuzupress.livejournal.com/76832.html

She's a busy lady!

^ Wow! Thanks for that info! I had seen pictures on her blog where she and her other gals were hanging out in a field on a tractor... now I know why! :laugh She IS busy!

lol and i thought she just looked pretty all day and that's her job :roflmao

does anyone else think that she's looking like tommy february6 here? xD
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1893/img56271501.jpg

LOL, pommy! No, apparently she is very concerned about the environment. The NoGal project is interesting because I think that the clothes are being made from materials like rice!

Also, on a side note, the other day I was reading about this model in Japan who has worked for gyaru magazine Ageha, who is actually a male-to-female transgender. Anyway, her name is Ayana, and she is also the spokeswoman for the Eco Collection.

....does that mean if you were to wear it to a sauna, you'll come out with cooked rice @_@ and maybe nibble a bit on your own shirt?

edit: oo my all, love this song <3

:rofl Oh pommy! Only you would think of something like that!

You're making me hungry...

Actually, in the fashion industry, there have been many attempts to use new organic materials. Bath towels made from bamboo are said to be very soft.

I didn't know she did that! I'm really impressed

lol definitely!

:roflmao
there is only you to think of something like that XDDD


I hope you knew that there are now bamboo clothes :yes
I have a dress and a shirt in bamboo ^^

she is so busy. but she's definitly a source of inspiration~

lol my creative juices work better at night :roflmao

<3 it's great the people are going eco *o*, save the trees!!...or cotton...so it's not really saving the trees...ah never mind, i'm confusing myself

OMG! minna! I want bamboo clothes too. Where did you buy them. I've been looking forever!

Despite her other events, I would love an update on the status of the school.

^
I have a bamboo sweater, it feels like linen a bit, but also like some synthetic materials. It's not that much softer than coton really.

omg that sounds so cool, a bamboo sweater :OO

here you can see Sifow´s Nogal project! ^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz6qHmx-Mbs

oh god..i never know about this sifow thread!
:D :D

what's Sifow´s Nogal project??

looks nice :D not how I'm used to see sifow :laugh

it´s a new eco project!

in this site: http://garuzupress.livejournal.com/76832.html
you can find this information

Information on NoGal:
Fujita Sifow plans to get the youth involved in agricultural activities. Japan currently suffers a self sufficiency problem as more than 50% of food consumed comes from abroad. She plans to get involved in the production of rice and vegetables and conduct tours and lectures on farming for Gals and Gal mothers. They will partner with clothing manufacturers to produce newer more farm friendly but stylish clothing. They will begin in Akita with producing rice for their brand [Shibuya rice] and will dedicate themselves to a rural area in Tokyo to grow vegetables.




Also i found her new yukata collection for Spring Summer 09:

She looks so sweet! **

that's awesome! haha i still love the pic of her and the lays XD

thanks for the picsas!! i have them with just a white background if any wants it (to make some stuff with photoshop or something :lech)

does anyone know where i can read sifow's manga? and does anyone know if its good, or even the name? XD

Here's an really interesting english article about her career, take a look (it's a bit old, but nice to get into her):

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-b...0061122f1.html

She's so impressive!
And now doing this agriculture project... she's truly a great rolemodel for everybody.
But I do think music was just a step for her career, she tried to get publicity and arouse public interest. Music never was her life.
I don't think she will do music in the future.

thanks for te pics :D
I would love to buy one of the yukatas!!!

LOL me too xD


woah! thanks a lot for the article!

sifow manga, d'you mean the book Gal Revolution?
'cause if I remember well there was a mnag version of it (?)

^ didnt she make one?? or.. was it someone else .______.

if only Mermaid Story (sifow forum) was still open
I think there was a post about it


I'm currently reading the article about sifow
SHE'S AMAZING! I'm just sad that she probably won't do music anymore
but she's a model, a source of inspiration. She started from pratically nothing and built all this!!! She has all my respect! (she already had it LOL but anyway xD)
I remember when someone here posted a comment on her blog and she was all surprised we knew about G-Revo.
She's really amazing!


You already did it girl! ;)

about her mangas she has nopwdays 2: one of them it´s the gyaru kakumei manga! it´s the manga version of her book with the same name! Also past summer i believe she wrote a new one.His name is GR8 and you can buy in yesasia! ^^
i want it. All that i know is that she has a blog with the same characters as this bookk and i don´t know well what´s the story!

^omg really??!! thanks for the infos :yatta i sooo want to read her mangas maybe i can order it at the American Bookshop :O

Did you know that sifow retired from G-Revo? In fact, I don't think that she is going by sifow anymore. Just Shiho. Read the article here:

http://garuzupress.livejournal.com/10560.html#cutid1

oh thanks for the informations about the mangas! I knew about her book being manga but I didn't know for the other one

oh! you have a spanish sifow forum?!


she retired from G-Revo?
well I wish her the best!!! she's such a source of inspiration~
we knew that she wanted to start a school but I never thought that she would stop G-REVO
since it's her ''creation''

Ohhh thank you so much for that video! It almost made me cry to see her talking again! Ahhhh I miss her!

I didn't know she retired! :O

NOO!!!! but but..the next thread we make would have to be shiho..sifow sounds so cool :bawl

^ :laugh Pommy... when do you think we'll get to the point where we NEED another sifow thread?!

:roflmao lol that's true, well with my *cough* hilarious *cough* remarks about every little thing people post...i'm sure we'll get to that 9th thread soon enough XD

taski ~ exactly what I think...:roflmao
I even think we should ask to move it to the japan forum
because she doesn't release music
so we could continue the discussion on her projects ^^

yeah that'll be great...and we can discuss her gorgeous kimonos/yukata...i never learned the difference, someone care to enlighten me?

That's actually a really good idea, minna!!

Yukata are casual, light cotton robes worn in the summer while kimono are usually made of silk and are worn for formal occasions or in the winter. :yes

ah now i see! thanks :D

so kimonos have more layers than yukatas?

sifow is great singer! she has her own style! ♥♥♥

but i shocked when i know her album/single never enter TOP10 oricon chart...T.T

wow! that yukata pic so cute! its summer color~ ow.. yukata is modification from bathing cloth,right?

Typically, I believe they do, yes, since with a yukata I think you just wear one light under robe so you can't see through it or anything, while with a true kimono, you have layers and have to be dressed by a professional dresser... I forget the Japanese name for them, but the geisha were always dressed by them and they were usually always men.

Sort of... you wear thin cotton robes to the bath houses, so they could have come from that since they are similar.

Hey! Maybe if we spam sifow... I mean Shiho's blog comment section enough we can annoy her into giving us a single!
