In a total unexpected announcement, Idoling!!! will be appearing at Tokyo Idol Festival 2019.
It seems that for the 10th anniversary of TIF, 12 of Idoling!!!'s remaining active members will reunite for one day on Friday August 2nd.
Appearing members are #6 Tonooka, #9 Yokoyama, #12 Kawamura, #14 Sakai, #15 Asahi, #19 Tachibana, #22 Kurata, #27 Takahashi, #29 Tamagawa, #31 Furuhashi, #32 Sekiya and #34 Satou.
As was their original goal to appear at TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2016 in some form or another, they are appearing at TIF! But due to the fact that they got 30 minutes at TIF and they have so far only one song, they have gathered other Ex-Idoling!!! members' groups to join in. During their latest Snack Umeko special, they called around and asked Booing!!!, Magical Punchline and even 'Bitter Chocolate', which was only to be a one-off theater group.
They will perform at TIF on the 2nd day (8/6) at 16h30 at Smile Garden stage.
Ex-Idoling!!! members form spin-off group Maintenance.
At a special Snack Umeko event hosted by Kawamura Yui & Sakai Hitomi with Hamaguchi Masaru (of owarai group Yoiko) as guest, Hamaguchi Masaru proposed to form a new group that he would produce called "Maintenance" which would be comprised of Ex-Idoling!!! members. During the event they contacted several members and asked them to join and come to the venue. Currently Maintenance consists of #1 Sakai Hitomi (Leader), #2 Kawamura Yui (Sub-leader), #3 Ojima Chika, #4 Asahi Nao, #5 Furuhashi Mayu and #6 Sekiya Mayu. He says he would like to get up to 9 members so more members may be announced later as some could not be contacted.
