Dressed head to toe in sportswear by New Balance, SUPER☆GiRLS and Wasuta showed the limits of their physical fitness and athleticism for an hour each featuring sped up versions of their upbeat songs in the first day of the nonstop live series featuring the groups of iDOL Street. Continuing on from the previous year, the excitement had only grown, as idols joined forces with popular running magazine Hashiru Hito to sweat alongside their fans. With a combined total of 6,142 steps tallied, Maeshima was awarded the gold medal for the day. Due to a technical malfunction with her pedometer, SUPER☆GiRLS’ Yumeri Abe came in last place with only 8 steps registered. What kind of punishment will be in store for her during the next live?

With the addition of 5 new members following iDOL Street Carnival at Tokyo Dome City Hall on June 25th, SUPER☆GiRLS is releasing their first single as a 14-member group “Love Summer!!!” on August 31st, followed up by a one-man live at Akasaka BLITZ on September 29th.

Wa-suta will be releasing their first single “Kanzen Naru Idol” on September 28th, which will be preceded by the first of their regular live concerts at TSUTAYA O-EAST on September 3rd. Even though Wasuta is known for wearing cat ears with a lot of their stage outfits, there’s been buzz surrounding the lyrics of “Kanzen Naru Idol” since it includes a line where they complain about having to wear them.
