Miyuu |
Sawai Miyuu had appeared in numerous idol
magazines and a pair of solo idol DVDs prior to being selected as Tsukino Usagi (Sailor Moon). The magazines
include the usual Jr. Idol ones including Pure Pure, BOMB, and memew. These
idol magazines often come with inserts, including trading cards, of
which, Sawai has appeared on a few of them.
The solo videos「ME」&「YOU」are available in a
boxset for 7600 yen (about US$63). They were originally released in September of
2002 as both single DVDs (3800 yen [about US$32] each) and cheaper videos (2900
yen [about US$24] each).
Although, she was featured in an issue of BOMB Idol magazine (Nov 03) with
Kitagawa, and later in Sabra, she signed an exclusive modeling contract with Tokuma's
Love Berry
magazine.
On April 1st,
2005, Sawai released a new Idol DVD called "South Wind" as part of the Young
Champion「ヤングチャンピオン」DVD series. This followed her "Asian
Kiss" solo Idol DVD from earlier in 2005 which also had a separate Photobook of
the same name. She also released "Perfect Collection" and "me→you" later in
2005. Early 2006, she released "Snow White" and just months ago, at 2006's
year's end, her latest Idol DVD "Fresh : Re : Fresh" was released.
In between DVDs,
she has done voice acting (an episode of the "Black Cat" anime and the "Fullmetal
Alchemist" movie), has appeared in a play with Matsushita Moeco (her PGSM love
rival), and had a role in the Japanese horror movie "Chain 2".

Hama Chisaki
started her Idol career with an appearance in BOMB! and a exclusive modeling contract with "melon" magazine.
She now appears
regularly in "melon" as of the July 2003 issue. The magazine ceased
publication in late 2005.
Prior to this, she
appeared in the Jr. Idol magazine "Pure Pure" [Pure²] issues 17-19, although I
believe issue 18 only has a brief mention of her amongst many other Jr. Idols.
Her earliest
appearances seem to be in a magazine called
"Monthly De-View", during Winter 2002-3. Other early appearances are in "pichi
lemon" (Summer 03) and something called "for lilie" in the April 03 issue.
Her
only TV work prior to Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, was an Idol special on Sky
PerfecTV Japan that translates as "Being Junior, GO!".
Some
of her works, released in November 2003, include being one of the three senshi
actresses in BOMB! [11/03] with Sawai Miyuu and Kitagawa Keiko; an appearance in
UP-TO-BOY [11/03]; and her fifth straight appearance in melon [11/03].
During February 2006, she announced on her website that she would be taking a
break from her career for health reasons and to prepare for college entrance
exams. This came shortly after "melon", her regular job, ceased publication. The
combination of these two events leads most people familiar with the Idol
industry to believe she is retired and she has not been heard from in the last year
except for occasional reunions with her fellow PGSM cast members.
Her
real name is Izumi Rika. However, there was already another Idol with the same
name and worse, just "Rika" produces thousands of hits on Google and Yahoo! for
a member of the Idol super-group Morning Musume.

Keiko was signed to an exclusive modeling contract with Japan's SEVENTEEN
magazine after being one of the winners of the 2003 audition. She made her
SEVENTEEN debut with a 7 page feature at the front of the Nov 01, 2003 [#25]
issue.
Kitagawa made regular appearances in SEVENTEEN magazine
until her retirement from modeling in mid-2006. She followed up her debut in
issue #25 (2003) and has continued to appear every two weeks since then.
Jumping on the
bandwagon, BOMB magazine uncovered in their archive an unused Kitagawa layout
and used it in the November 2003 issue.
Kitagawa signed on
in 2005 to co-star in a live action movie "Mizu ni sumu hana"
「
水に棲む花」based on the manga of the same name.
This would be the start of her movie acting career that is now up to 7 films
including the Hollywood made "The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" and her
first starring role in a major Japanese release in
「
Dear Friends」.

Azama "Mew" Myuu
started her career as a member of B.B. Waves, an Idol dance group. She toured
with them in 1999 and 2000. After she "graduated" from B.B. Waves, her career
went into a long lull before being one of the winners of the SEVENTEEN (Japan) 2003
model audition and with it an exclusive modeling contract with SEVENTEEN.
She made
her SEVENTEEN debut with issue 24 (Oct 01, 2003) and has continued to appear
regularly ever since. The rest of her idol career was basically been put on hold
while she works for SEVENTEEN, Sailor Moon, and continued high school.
She was promoted
from SEVENTEEN to the publisher's college-age fashion magazine non-no
with the
21st issue of 2006 after winning the 38th non-no Modeling Grand Prix and
made her last appearance in SEVENTEEN #27 (Nov 15, 2006).

Ayaka was part of the CANDy fashion magazine stable of models. Her work there
led to some small TV and movie work including "Idol-Do". She appeared in the Winter 02/03 "Angel Blue" fashion catalog,
as well. All of this preceded her selection as Sailor Venus.
She did a few controversial swimsuit layouts prior to being selected as one of the
four girls for the 2004 edition of Nittelegenic 「日テレジュニック 2004」, an annual group
of four girls who help promote various items. As part of her involvement with
Nittelegenic, a solo Idol DVD of her 「日テレジェニック2004 小松彩夏 figure A」 was released
August 24th of 2004. The other three girls had their own DVDs released on the
same day. Another Nittelegenic 2004 solo DVD「女神のChu! 日テレジェニック2004 小松彩夏 Layer Game」[Megami no Chu!]
was released on
26 January 2005.
She was
featured on the cover of the manga Young Sunday「ヤングサンデー」with a seven page layout inside.
The issue number was 17 [4/7/2005]. She would follow this up with her third
photobook 「Summer Date」and her 3rd DVD (and first true solo Idol DVD)「 まさか・・・ 」[masaka...].
From there, she would focus on her acting career.
She
co-starred in the 「 ドリフト 」and「 ドリフト 2 」[Drift and Drift 2] street racing movies
similar to Kitagawa Keiko's The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift
before starring in the 2006 TV series「ダンドリ娘」[Dandori Musume]. While working on
these, she released her most recent photobook Young Sunday's「Moon Doll」in
February 2006 in which she appears with her bikini top off, however her "upper
assets" are not fully exposed.
Over the winter of
2006, she went on a major promotional blitz, posing in 20 magazines, ahead of
the January 2007 release of her latest DVD 「書を捨てよ、水着になろう!」[Sho wo Suteyo,
Mizugi ni Naro].
Her
biography shows an appearance in the Japanese movie 「踊る大捜査線 THE MOVIE 2
∼レインボーブリッジを封鎖せよ！∼」[Bayside Breakdown: the Movie 2 - Protect the Rainbow Bridge],
the Official English website does not list her as among the many cast members
named in the movie, as such, she likely had a very minor appearance.

Koike Rina's
first Jr. Idol DVD 「おにいちゃんといっしょ」came out in January
2004 at the age of 10. That
same month she was featured in 「U-15 Live Version Vol.3」a live debut concert
with ten other young girls. The live concert was later broadcast in February as
part of 「ジュニアでGO!」#5 (Being Junior, GO!).
At the beginning of March 2004, her
modeling career began with a two page appearance in 「Pure Pure」 #23, following in the
footsteps of a few of her fellow Sailor Senshi actresses. She then appeared in
「清純系」(Peace Mook) volume 14 in a six page story hyping her idol DVD.
To date, she has made nearly 30 Idol magazine appearances, mostly notable in the
U-15 Idol magazine
「Pure Pure」with 4 more appearances including an
11 page layout in #39 (Nov 2006) as the cover girl and the cover of the Spring
2007 「Chu→Boh 」#18.
After her Sailor Moon job, Rina got the part of a policeman's daughter in a TV-Asashi movie of the week.
She would get more TV appearances before her regular part in 「喰いタン２」beginning in
April 2007.
Her other solo
Idol work features her first photobook 「天真らんまん」released 23 Jan 2006 with a

Kawabe Chieko is the most experienced of the young cast. She has already been
featured in a Horror movie and four Idol videos, including two solo videos: 「POP!」and
「"15"」. Nor is this her first experience with Sailor Moon, having played the
part of Ami/Sailor Mercury in a few Sērā Myu musicals, including the Tenth
Anniversary Edition: 「美少女戦士セーラームーン
10th Anniversary Festival 愛のサンクチュアリ 」.
Coming 16
March 2005 is Kawabe's debut album
「brilliance」which will include her first
three singles: 「be your girl/☆に願いを」[--/Hoshi
ni Negai o],「shining/cry
baby」and「絆色/I
Can't Wait」[Kizuna Iro/--] which includes her three End Themes for the anime "Otogizoushi"
[1&2] and "Elfin Lied". Don't quote me on this but, I believe the second song on
her upcoming CD single may have a connection to "Lizzie McGuire" or at least the
Japanese dub version of it.

TV「月刊Ｖジャンプテレビ」, a television

CANDy along with Komatsu Ayaka. Arisa has a few Idol DVDs and Photobooks available.

Tournament 「チャンプ９×９勝ち抜きキッズバトル」, which is a children's quiz show.
Arisa's
real name is Alisa Yuriko Durbrow. Although her mother is Japanese, her father
is an American of European descent, which explains some of her unusual (for
Japanese) physical appearance. He has lived in Tokyo since 1982, after a year in
