Ange Reve is Arc Jewel's third idol group formed in April 2014. It is a sister group of Lovely Doll (Ota Riona's group), Doll Elements, Luce Twinkle Wink and Stella Beats. The group's name comes from two French words: "Ange"(Angel) and "Rêve"(Dream). The original members are Watanabe Kurumi, Sasaki Rika, Tachibana Haruka, Otosaki Serina and Sawada Akina. They have their own SHOWROOM known as "ANGEROOM". Sawada Akina has announced graduation in November 2015 and graduated on March 13, 2016. The group changed greatly within 2016 alone, with the addition of Matsuwaki Akari, graduations of Otosaki Serina, Kousaka Moemi and Oshima Rio and sending off Matsuda Ayuna to Jewel Neige in exchange of Mizuno Yua, Yoshihashi Arisa and Saigo Mizuki. All members except for Oshima, Kousaka, Saigo, Gonda and Yamate are from the Kanto region. All members except for Sawada, Tachibana, Otosaki and Matsuda have been in other idol groups before. They are among the shortest idol groups in terms of height, in fact, their average height was only 150.8 cm after Otosaki and Kousaka graduated and before the 4th gens came. They are currently signed under Pony Canyon. Their fan club is called "Aile d'Ange". They are one of the few idol groups in the e-Onkyo Music service in Japan which suggests that their music is recorded without compression whatsoever. They have a deal with LoGiRL. They have an overture which is created specially for "Koko kara Imagination", a song from Lumiere Angel. Their fans are known as "Rêveur" (レーヴァー) and their fan club is known as "Aile d'Ange". Heights mentioned here are not official heights, but are more accurate than the ones in the official site. Also note that Mizuno Yua's age is not official, it's taken from various 2ch threads. Members: First Generation Sasaki Rika (佐々木璃花) - Born December 6, 1995 (22 years old), 161 cm height, from Chiba prefecture, former member of ICT Lovelys!. When she was in 3rd grade, she failed Hello Pro Egg (now KSS) auditions. Is the center/ace of the group. Also the unofficial leader of the group because she was the one who made the comment on the 2016 year-end shuffle. Has an appearance similar to Kojima Haruna and Yoshida Akari. Is a fan of Morning Musume, and recently, GFRIEND. For some reason she takes a picture with THE HOOPERS's Sena and NGT48's Nakai Rika when she has the opportunity. One fan mistook her for a TWICE member. Second Generation - Joined December 19, 2015 but 2 have graduated and the last member is now a member of Jewel Neige Matsuda Ayuna (松田あゆな) - Born May 5, 2001 (17 years old), 148 cm height (some pictures show that she is shorter than Tachibana Haruka, and she hasn't grown any taller since), from Kanagawa prefecture, youngest member to have joined the group. Unlike the other 2 second generation members, she is new to the idol scene. She is currently a member of Jelno/Arc Jewel Novice (now known as Jewel Neige), although she is still close to the current members. Is a fan of Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku. Friends with 1st gen members. Visits Ange Reve more often than the graduated members because she is still in Arc Jewel.

Although she started her Ange Reve activities on January 2, 2017, she did not leave Lovely Doll until January 23, 2017, and as a result, she held a pseudo-concurrent position for 22 days.

http://natalie.mu/music/news/202777 Release Info for their new single "Colorful"! The cover (Please help me on thumbnailing - it's too large and I can't find any smaller pictures!) EDIT: I'm starting to fear the day Kousaka Moemi graduates due to poor health. Especially when we have three recent graduations where poor health is the reason: Rev. from DVL with Takahashi Nanami, GEM with Noguchi Monami and recently Team Syachihoko with Ando Yuzu. EDIT 2: She has already graduated. And because of the said disease.
Ugh I hate replying to myself... Anyway, the short version of their 5th single (3rd major, Akaringo's 1st) "Colorful" has been revealed on YouTube! if the video does not show watch the video here EDIT: Happy birthday Kurumin and Serii!
Colorful is officially their best selling DVD single! It landed at #2 in the Oricon DVD Ranking Weekly Charts! http://ameblo.jp/angereve-aj/entry-12213396585.html http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/dg/w/2016-10-31/ Yabuki Nako, Hirate Yurina, Oguri Yui and Nishida Hirari, watch your back! Matsuda Ayuna is a superstar in the making! EDIT: Interview from Billboard Japan http://www.billboard-japan.com/special/detail/1726
Ange Reve will appear in the Tokyo Wagyu Show 2016 Idol Stage! http://ameblo.jp/angereve-aj/entry-12218138212.html http://wagyushow.com/news/68/ Never thought of wagyu and idols in one event.
Otosaki Serina will undergo indefinite hiatus! http://natalie.mu/music/news/211937 Unless Kousaka Moemi comes back, they would probably perform as 6.
Moepi has already withdrawn and Serina announced graduation. Both members have health problems. http://natalie.mu/music/news/213473 They're down to 6 members now. With Otosaki's graduation, their average height has decreased to 150.8 cm.

LoGiRL will shut down on March 31. https://logirl.favclip.com/article/detail/5725700906549248 This is bad news especially when Ange Reve is signed here. Looks like they have to switch to Tokyo Idol for photoshoots now. EDIT: Otosaki Serina's final event has been announced. http://ameblo.jp/angereve-aj/entry-12247734633.html I miss her
Hate to make another post with a 2-day gap, but Ange Reve will release 2 mini albums at once. Both are titled "Lumière" and each mini album will have the subtitles "Angel" and "Fallen Angel" on May 3. http://natalie.mu/music/news/221001 Finally, an audio album release! Sucks that Ayuchi's not going to make it though Hopefully they don't re-record all 2015 and 2016's songs with the 2017 lineup because Seririn > Yuamon. I also hope that Koko kara Imagination is the 2016 version because Ayuchi was so cute there. Tracklist: Lumière: Angel Edition - Cute and energetic songs. Maybe Baby Stare Little Peace Koko kara Imagination Lovey! Ai no Uta Lumière: Fallen Angel Edition - Dark and intense songs. Limited Complex Tell me why ~Saigo no Senko Hanabi~ Datenshi no Kokoro mo yo wo Colorful Girls, Be Ambitious Reality (revealed during Idol Generations on March 19, 2017) And Yoshihashi was so shocked that she will be in 3 albums for 2 years in a row. https://twitter.com/yoshihashipanda/status/831863488347729920

The new song on the Lumière: Fallen Angel is known as "Reality"! https://twitter.com/3rdD_angereve/status/843361430321553409 Unfortunately, Seririn's gone She would fit this song well.
Ange Reve's "Little Peace" will be used as an ending theme song for the upcoming Digimon series known as "Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters"! http://natalie.mu/music/news/226024 Very nice to see them an anime tie up! But wasn't Little Peace performed when Rio and Ayuna were still there? We might not hear Arisa's and Mizuki's voices.
During the 3rd anniversary live MVs for Little Peace and Reality have been revealed! http://idolscheduler.jp/news/detail/?p=83993 Still awaiting for Youtube versions! EDIT: Akinyan visited! https://twitter.com/akineko3510/status/848529747319508992 Even Ayuchi didn't forget about it! https://twitter.com/Matsuda_Ayuna/status/848509017936633856 Audition for 5th generation members have been announced! https://twitter.com/Arc_Jewel/status/848343640451592192
