There was a special on idol group (around 15 minutes) on the late night information TV program "Tonight 2".

The first idol group was "Link Link Link", a group of three girls. They were supposedly the first IT idol group. (info on them at http://kodansha.cplaza.ne.jp/linklinklink/) They were interviewed in Akihabara (probably on 7/20). They sang (and danced) on the street in front of the train station.

The next idol group was "Lucky Legs", made up of 13 race queens. They showed some clips from the Lucky Legs stage at Akibax 2000.
