【ichiPSA!】 Fond Farewell: August 2010 - originally uploaded August 10, 2010.

For those of you who haven't heard/read it yet, I will be graduating from ichiP! at this year's New York Anime Festival. I'm not gone completely! I'll still be here to help out and cheer Venus, Erica, and Laura on, my life is just taking me to different places and interests that have left me without enough time for the group. I wish my dance sisters success and fun for a long time.

I love you girls! -Ru

There were a couple of another ichiP!-related announcements we'd made before this, but as they were about events we were doing, they weren't really relevant to the blog. This, though, this is pretty relevant.

As Michele said, life happened, and she hadn't been able to practice with us for several months. That's something that can't be helped, since we're only doing this silly dance thing for funsies. But she was and still is a part of the group, just in a more behind-the-scenes kind of role. And we love her, of course! That's one thing about ichiP! that will never change. ♥

【ichiPractice!】 Revenge of the Dorm Room III: We've Got More Space? - originally uploaded January 2, 2010.

Wow, look what I found on my computer! o_O! An old version of Ru and Re doing Caramelldansen with the moves we put together, pretty much on the spot, for it.

This was shot in September '08. XD Well, we've gotten better since then. Not that we'll ever do this again, of course....

I know, I know, it would have been better if I found the filler sometime in the past three months, especially when we're about to shoot more today. I'M SORRY.

(P.S. Turn up your volume, because I forgot to dub it.)

【ichiP!】 Wonder Girls - Tell Me - originally uploaded August 8, 2009.

This one's becoming a hit quickly. We were surprised so many people at AnimeNEXT recognized it! 

Ri: I made a little booboo, please forgive me...orz.

【ichiP!】 Keroro Gunso/SGT Frog 9th ED - Kurutto Mawatte Ikkaiten - originally uploaded July 18, 2009.

This dance is a ton of fun. Luckily you aren't supposed to show too much energy/emotion for this one so there's no need to exert yourself. It's pretty easy so go ahead and give it a try!

【ichiPractice!】 Inazuma Eleven 2nd ED - Seishun Bus Guide - originally uploaded July 1, 2009.

Random section of a practice run of Seishun again sans a Laura. Learned this chunk after 20 min and thought we'd give it a try.

We almost performed this once. We were thinking about it for NYAF that year, but it didn't make the final cut. It was put on the back burner and we kinda forgot about it.

Just a run through of a random practice session. Sans a Laura. Not as fun without everyone :(

Dancin' and Dreamin' by Hinoi Team as performed by the three members of ichiP! who will be at New York Anime Festival this year!

New venue this time: the dance studio! (Kinda still looks like the abandoned classroom though, doesn't it? (Silly Erica, there's no chalkboard!))

【ichiPractice!】 Misao Aoyama - Distance ~In Your Love~ - originally uploaded August 31, 2008.

Ra is on a flight to Japan for the semester and Ri is in Delaware so Ru and Re have gotten together to work on a few dances for the upcoming New York Anime Fest performance. Note: this is a PRACTICE shot. We wanted to give you all at least -something- to look at between our last post and NYAF in a month! Enjoy!
