OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE

While singing is a core component to making O!P the project that it is, it is equally important to us that our members take an active part in the other little initiatives which we come up with from time to time. Examples of these are that of the 'Monday Five' interviews at the O!P Wordpress blog and co-hosting 'Hello!Ongaku' with the regulars. It is therefore important for you, as a potential member, to know that should you join O!P, you will be asked periodically to either take part in short written quizzes or to do short recordings which will be used either on Wordpress or on 'Hello!Ongaku'. You can however be assured that these 'side projects' will be non-intrusive on your privacy and will not take more than the time you will usually spend in recording full songs for O!P.


If you are comfortable with the above and think that you are ready to take on the challenge of being an O!P member, we welcome you to join us!

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us via the O!P email at ongakuproject@yahoo.com or to post in this thread. We will get back to you on your queries asap.

Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you into Ongaku! Project!! ^o^

The final half hour of the 10-hour long special 'live' edition of Hello! Ongaku saw us sharing some long-awaited news with our peers. Yes, after three long years, O!P is finally undergoing a revamp!

At risk of sounding lazy, putting in all the nitty gritty details would end up making this post look more like somebody's final year thesis so to avoid the excessive wordiness, here is a very compressed look at what is coming up with O!P.

First, the structure of the group has been overhauled with something new put in place. As to what these structural changes are, they should be visible to all very soon via the upcoming O!P releases so keep an eye out for those.

Secondly, an all-new Kpop division which will be headed by Odango, has been added. Even though the main focus of the group will remain in Jpop, the addition of the Kpop division is a definite boost to the O!P's repertoire and scope as a singing group and the move is definitely seen as a positive one.

Thirdly, there will also be a marked shift in focus from the individual groups to that of individual members through the introduction of new features to be made available on the group's website. You will be able to experience a part of this set of changes introduced by visiting the O!P Wordpress blog.

In short, keep an eye out on the O!P Wordpress blog and the O!P website for some very visible changes will be assailing your eyeballs soon. And no, it will not hurt. =P

And that would be Hanamoni's Odango!! ^o^ Yes!! Odango has been roped in to join the rest of the production team here at O!P and with her addition comes a whole new window of opportunity opening to O!P. Sounds cryptic? Well, it will not be in a bit for there will be more news on this coming soon.

But for now, please put your hands together and join us in congratulating Odango on her latest position here with O!P!

Odango-chan!! Omedetou!!

With the blessings of the good people at JPH!P, the epic celebratory episode of Hello! Ongaku came and went with neither hiccup nor glitch. Depending on the timezone that you are living in, the Hello! Ongaku 100th Episode Special was a 10-hour long roller-coaster ride of fun, laughter, giggles chockfull of nonsensical nonsense that lasted almost all through the day/night! Spanning a grand total of 100 songs over 6 different hosts to commemorate the occasion, Hello! Ongaku made JPH!P radio history by being the first show to go on 'live' for a full 10-hours! You can download a full recording of the entire 10-hour show right here by clicking on this link.

For the 3 years that Hello! Ongaku has been on-air, from our teething days on Radiofreemars till the time when we moved on to a more permanent home at JPH!P Radio, the show has seen an overwhelming amount of support from both the good people at JPH!P but also from the random listeners that have found Hello! Ongaku through the Shoutcast listings. The relationships that we have built as well as the feelings that we have experienced on-air of both joy and pain were all very real and shared very much with those who have been with us. We will always remember the inaugural Rika Birthday Special that we did for our very first episode and we will also never forget the memorial for marimari's passing which we also had the honour of hosting as a group.

Hello! Ongaku and the team at Ongaku! Project would like to thank all listeners for having supported us through the years Hello! Ongaku has been on air. We would never have made it so far without you. Thank you for having been there for us and sticking it through with us all this while by being our friend. The friendship and goodwill that you have shown to us are more treasured than you can ever imagine so thank YOU!!

Here's to many more years of good friendship ahead! Kanpai!!

First, it was Megami Melody topping the inaugural O2ricon charts with 'Manatsu no Kousen'. Then ViyuMEN followed the next week with a rousing cover of 'Kitto Daijyoubu'. This week, Megami Melody continues O!P's course through the top of the O2ricon charts with 'Kanashimi Twilight'. Well done girls!!

Every 3rd Generation debut release so far has been a chart topper. The responsibility of maintaining O!P's record now lies in the hands of O!P's male-elites, ViyuMEN. Will 'Mr Moonlight' make the charts and break all records? Keep an eye here for more updates!

That's right! With Megami Melody's Manatsu no Kousen single, O!P reached a whopping 100 songs released. It has been a long road full of hard-work to get here, but it's been all worth it. It's specially noticeably worth it when we realize that people have enjoyed our works. This week, Megami Melody's Manatsu no Kousen was voted #1 in the O2ricon charts, and we're extremely happy about it, because it shows that our friends and listeners enjoyed it enough to vote for it. We hope to achieve many more #1 singles, with the support of everyone who listens to us. Thank you, minna!!!
