About[]

Flusay Girls is an online group of idol fans that have come together to write their own original music and choreography as well as create an opportunity with a "do it yourself" attitude to those who live in countries with no opportunities for aspiring net idols to come together and create their own opportunities and content.

History

The Group began on Januray 27, 2010 When Flugel (Nanami Uehara) created a fansign for her best friend Lindsay Whitney on myspace, who commented "This looks like an album cover" in reply Flugel said "Yeah lets make our own band!" and that was that. Flusay was born.

The name "Flusay" comes from Flugel and Lindsay's names Flu-gel & Lind-say = Flu-say.

Flugel had just started Jpop dancing and had posted her first full video on March 7, 2010 which then inspired her to expand the group beyond Flusay and create Flusay Girls, the online group that writes their own music in Japanese and English plus creates original choreography to go with it.

The main inspiration behind the group was DANCEROID (a popular dance cover group on youtube) and the Cruel Angels Project (Beckii Cruel). At the time there was no such thing as a net idol group and there were no rules or guidelines for them to follow but that didn't stop them from creating was essentially was the worlds first independent international net idol group.

In the beginning there were no managers, no contracts, no budget, no training, no rules or guidelines The girls simply had a goal to create music and content inspired by the artists they loved and to bring entertainment and happiness to all who watched them and to help other people who shared that dream to bring it to life!

Flusay Girls is driven by a strong passion and that is the key as to why it has lasted throughout the years and will continue to do so for many more.

March 09, 2010 Flusay Girls YouTube was created and The First new member was none other then Velonica who became sub leader and Japanese lyrics writer for the group soon followed by: Uxi a talented parapara dancer.

29th of ‎March ‎2010, Flusay Girls uploaded the first of a series of audition videos that would recruit the first wave of new members ending on July 25 2010.

April 25th 2010, Flusay Girls released their first instrumental track with choreography to their first song Shiawase Kimochi (幸せ気持) Under the group name 2smile a subgroup composed of members Flugel and Velonica.

Velonica wrote the Japanese lyrics to the song which when translated to english means "Happy Feeling". This song was originally composed in English by Flugel writing about the friendship between her and member Lindsay who although never actively took part in the groups activities was one of the main reasons the group even began. A CM version was uploaded on May 27, 2010

June 8th 2010, Flusay Girls uploaded a choreography video to their CM song "Nyan nyan matte matte" in English "meow meow wait wait!"

Followed by Orika's choreography video on the 14th July 2010 featuring Laura's version of the song.

Flusay Girls then opened auditions on YouTube for more talented dancers, singers, songwriters and choreographers.

The full list of auditionees was (youtube usernames) Fureirin, CaptainNono, Kurotsuki6, FalseStrawberry, maliciousdevice, whiterosesoftheheart and ReinaChanneru, LoveSora27, MooxWithxMeh, 4everhime and DokiDokiDachii

During the March-July 2010 Flusay Girls First Wave auditions we welcomed Laura (MooxWithxMeh), Orika (4everhime), Kari (DokiDokiDachii) , Ayame (whiterosesoftheheart), and Michi (FalseStrawberry) to the team.

On the 14th August Flusay Girls released their songs

Nyan nyan matte matte - Flugel (english version)

Tokyo games show - Flugel

nyan nyan matte matte - 2smile (japanese version) and

Shiawase Kimochi - 2smile (normal and remix versions)

To their myspace account.

On 15th October 2010, it was sadly announced that the group had lost three members Uxi, and Kari due to a lack of activity and failure to hand in dances and song lines.

on October 16th 2010, we stood strong with seven members Flugel, Lindsay, Velonica, Laura, Ayame, Orika and Michi. With many new songs and projects in the making the group's future was looking bright...

On October 30th 2010 Flusay Girls then released more songs

Nyan nyan matte matte - Laura's version, and

Clouds - Ayame & Flugel

On their MySpace account. These were to be the last songs Flusay Girls would release on MySpace.

in December 2010 Michi announced that she would be leaving the group to focus more on her studies. She left a parting gift to the group an instrumental track she had created by herself.

2011

Sadly soon after the arrival of the new members arrival in June 2011 Flugel announced that she would be leaving Flusay Girls in the hands of her friend Maggie but this turned out to almost be the end of the project!

During this Break Flugel (alias Anne) teamed up with Velonica (alias Erin) to create a cover channel called DIGITALGIRLjp to continue practicing her lyrics writing, mixing and instrumental skills.

With Flusay Girls now losing more and more members and the management becoming inactive this led to miss trust among members and an overall shut down in the projects activity’s.

2nd of July, 2015 Flusay Girls released their single "No More Salvation" as a digital release on bandcamp including a lyrics video and an 8-bit version. This was the debut track of member Juju.

We chose this date to release our single because in numerology the number 8 is a lucky number for prosperity (2+7+2+0+1+5=17 , 1+7=8) and the song talks briefly about divination and fortune telling so we enjoyed bringing that aspect of it into the release date of the single.

July 14th 2015 Miku joined Flusay Girls after her email application was approved.

September 19th 2015 Flusay Girls released a new single titled "Jump Jump Midnight Fever" The primary digital single was released including bonus Pixel art Gif's of the members and Staff, off vocal version and MIDI file for Karaoke use. This was the debut track of member Cookie (and only track Cookie featured in) .

The release date in numerology is a number 9! (1+9+0+9+2+0+1+5=2+7=9!) which is a number of conclusion, the end of a 9 year cycle and the start of another. This date was thought to start a new age in Flusay Girls with a fresh start new direction and purpose as was agreed by the members.

This was reflected in the MV itself with a retro Flusay Girls feel going back to the very original theme images of multicolored stars representing each members colour.

November 2015 Flusay Girls created an official instagram account to showcase its members photos and also short video clips of their solo dance covers and group promotional content including a hashtag for each of its members including #FGKila #FGLiiLian #FGNanami #FGJuju #FGHollyHeart and #FGYaima to make it easier for people to track or tag their favourite members.

2016

24.01.2016 Flusay Girls released their first Mini Album of the year called "It's a Shmemix" which includes 5 remixed versions of popular Flusay Girls Originals like No More Salvation and Chibi March. The album was a digital release on Bandcamp and included a full audio video on YouTube.

From April 12th 2016 Solo dance covers started to be uploaded regularly on Flusay Girls main youtube channel including some combination song and dance covers and split screen dance collaborations between the members.

The decision was made to do this to keep the main channel more active between original content and music videos while highlighting some of the members solo videos they created for their own channels and create a showcase of content for all active members in one place making it easier to search and access each members videos.

April 27, 2016 Flusay Girls created a Tumblr account where people can submit reviews, posts, fanart or messages and gain more interactive feedback from people by hosting events and contests which would then go on to shape their next music video "No More Salvation" consisting of all current members Lii Lian, Juju, Natalie, Yaima, Holly Heart and Kila.

June 11, 2016 Flusay Girls decided to graduate all inactive trainees of the dance group Jelly Heroine and Jelly Villain so that the group could continue its activities and expand in the future as a trainee group where anyone who successfully apply's to join Flusay Girls will have the opportunity to do dance covers with some of the current members and retired members until they either graduate or are promoted to Flusay Girls.
