My guess is all of these are Shiba, the right and left is from 2013 and the center from 2007
Costume Notes: So these are the only photos for the Japonica style “Superstar” I can find. I have no idea if earlier versions looked different or not. He only wears this for the number and changes back to his regular costume for bows. His trousers look the same to his regular costume’s but it has some design on the upper left leg he also seems to add a thick black belt on top. Aside from being shirtless he also has a braided band that drapes over his left shoulder and wears the thorn crown on top of his head.
You can find a blurry recording of “Superstar” with 金森勝/Kanamori Masaru as Judas from 2009 posted on YouTube by user xmenetv, they also have Herod’s song and Judas’ Death recorded
The 3rd of July is the birthday of Yoshino Yorita who debuted on 27th of May 2014. A peculiar girl with a penchant to find lost things at a 100% rate. Her mannerisms, speech, and willingness to help any and all have many to believe she’s not necessarily a person. Though human or god, she is now an idol. She is voiced by Yuuki Takada (高田憂希)
Let’s celebrate today by helping out a stranger in need. Karma goes two ways, a good deed to the world will return in a good deed for you

Today in Japan, January 1st, is also Kako Takafuji’s birthday! Voiced by Rana Morishita (森下来奈), Kako is a 20 year old from Shimane. Practically a personification of the Japanese New Year and it’s traditions, Kako is extremely, extremely lucky. She’s talented at many things, but her one weakness is that she is bad at telling jokes.
Kako loves datemaki (sweetened egg roll) and kurikinton (chestnuts and sweet potato), both traditional Japanese New Year’s dishes. She’s very knowledgeable about the customs of the new year, and frequently mentions the Japanese folktale of the eggplant, the falcon, and Mount Fuji. Kako’s luck is well known among the idols in the production, as they often tend to enjoy her company for their own benefit. She’s close with both Karin Domyoji and Hotaru Shiragiku, both somewhat unlucky girls, as well as Yoshino Yorita, who’s a fellow luck-bringer. Kako is also close with fellow 20 year olds Yuki Himekawa and Miyo Harada. While Kako sometimes struggles to maintain an idol-like personality and behaviour, her versatility and seriousness encourage other idols to do their best. Her name actually contains the kanji for Mount Fuji (富士), hawk (鷹), and eggplant (茄子, usually read as "nasu"). In Japan, the first dream of the New Year is considered prophetic of the dreamer's luck for the rest of the year. The most lucky symbols are said to be Mount Fuji, a hawk, or an eggplant. No wonder Kako’s so lucky!
Kako doesn’t have a solo song yet, but she does sing in Kimi e no Uta (君への詩/A Song For You), Trust me, and Max Beat. Some units that Kako is a part of include Joyful Days (ジョイフルデイズ) with Hikaru Nanjo and Hinako Kita, Harumai Kajin (春舞佳人) with Kaede Takagaki, DAZZLE BLACK with Hijiri Mochizuki and Meiko Namiki, Sakura Shokudani (桜朔夜) with Nao Takamime and Hajime Fujiwara, and Japonesque (ジャポネスク) with Yoshino Yorita and Karin Domyoji. To celebrate Kako’s birthday, enjoy some of your favourite new year’s meals! Happy birthday Kako!
