Quote:

The 4-member girl group SPEED will soon be reuniting again. They will officially resume activity with an appearance on NTV's charity telethon "24 Hour Television" at the end of this month.

The group debuted in 1996 but broke up in 2000, at the height of their popularity, in order to pursue solo careers. They had two short-lived reunions in 2001 and in 2003. However, this time is said to be a complete return, with plans extending beyond 2009.

The decision to reunite started with this year's "24 Hour Television." SPEED previously hosted the program back in 1999, when they first met a young girl named Yui Nojiri who was battling spinal muscular atrophy. Last year, Nojiri reached her 20th birthday, and NTV producers decided to bring her and SPEED back for this year's show.

After learning about the idea, SPEED member Eriko Imai revealed that her own 3-year-old son is having hearing problems. Motivated to reach her son through song and to provide inspiration for other young children, she asked the other SPEED members to join her.

For "24 Hour Television," the group is scheduled to perform a 25-minute set at the Nippon Budokan on the afternoon of August 31. They plan to stay together for the time being, aiming to keep SPEED alive for at least 2009.

*However, official statements from their management about whether this is a permanent get back or just like the previous 2 reunion has not been confirm. But, for sure there will be a live performance for 24HR Television.

[QUOTE]2000年3月31日に解散した人気女性ボーカルグループ「SPEED」が、8年ぶりに復活することが18 日、
本紙の調べであきらかになった。30日から31日にかけて放送する日本テレビの「24時間テレ ビ」で
活動再開を宣言する。今週にも新曲をリリースし、来春には全国ツアーも予定している。

SPEEDの再結成は、水面下で着々と進められてきた。

元メンバーの島袋寛子(24)、今井絵里子(24)、上原多香子(25)、新垣仁絵(27)の4人は、全員 が沖縄出身。
上京後、一番最初に出演したのは日本テレビの看板番組「THE夜もヒッパレ」だった。グループ 名となった
SPEEDも、この番組で一般募集して決定しただけに、今回の再出発も日本テレビからとなった。

(中略)

ある音楽関係者は「同じ事務所で、SPEEDと同時期に活躍した安室奈美恵は今や新たな音楽ジ ャンルで
成功を収め、再びブレークしている。このことがいい意味で刺激になって再結成の話がトントン拍 子に
進んだんじゃないか」と分析する。

確かにデビュー当時は、Mr.Childrenやゆずの所属する「トイズ・ファクトリー」だっ たが、今回は
「エイベックス」に移籍して活動する。

解散して8年の歳月が流れたが、いまだにSPEEDの人気が衰えていないことも再結成の大きな 要因に
なったのは間違いない。この秋にリリースする新曲では年末の「NHK紅白歌合戦」出場も狙って いる。

解散した当時はティーンエージャーだった4人も、今や20代半ばの大人の女性。ファンならずと も
成熟した(?)SPEEDがどんなパフォーマンスを見せるか、興味津々だ。

東京スポーツ [QUOTE]

Tokyo Sport tabloid article claiming that SPEED is reforming and will release a new single in the autumn with a tour to follow in the spring next year. They would attend Kouhaku at the end of the year as well. The article states that Amuro's second boom has encouraged their handlers to refocus on SPEED with their undying popularity being a key factor.

summersnow 27th August 2008 06:11 PM

^this is niceeee!! thanks!! =)

TITANIC 28th August 2008 10:10 AM

^yup

summersnow 28th August 2008 06:48 PM

^lol! who are they? sounds so funny!!! comedy version for body&soul! :laugh

by the way riozz, shall we make a thread for speed?
so that it's much easier to chat there.
Or is there already such thread?

TITANIC 29th August 2008 10:59 AM

^ umm I will make it..heheh

PEED's artist page has been re-added @ VF: http://www.visionfactory.jp/artist/speed/index.html
I will keep update this thread.hehhe

DA1SUK1DAY01691 29th August 2008 11:04 AM

None of these girls really had activity since 2004 right? (Itsuka Futari De/I will take you was released in 2004, right?)

So this is very exciting! Although I will miss their higher voices, since I know it has deepened since first release. It's just exciting to know that they will reform for the sake of Eriko's son and Nojiri Yui.

PLUS, KOUHAKU!!!!!!!!!! ZOMFG!!!!!!!!!! Cannot believe it. They went out with such a bang though....

TITANIC 29th August 2008 11:37 AM

^ waw.. you like SPEED too??

btw, the live will be broadcast on NTV at around 4:00 (GMT+9) in the afternoon of August 31st.

Do you think SPEED is coming back because Namie booming era??

Namie and the speed girls graduate from the same school and both under VF. She is like the senior of the group.

I guess Namie success give VF and Avex the confidence to revive another 90s era group.

summersnow 29th August 2008 03:11 PM

^hmm.. perhaps it's one of the reasons too. we never know right? =D

can't wait for to see their performance!!!!!!!

TITANIC 30th August 2008 10:03 AM

I really cant wait it until tomorrow on air..haha

Btw hiro is in planning to release an album in winter

I've made SPEED's thread

summersnow 30th August 2008 10:27 AM

^really!? hiro's going to release album soon?

TITANIC 30th August 2008 11:10 AM

ayuzlove 30th August 2008 03:12 PM

LacusClyne 1st September 2008 07:53 AM

i'm happy with this. i think their singles and album will sell great, but with the recent declining market, maybe they will help to push some good sales and more attention to jpop, SPEED is like a girlband legend in japan

TITANIC 1st September 2008 11:04 AM
