Idol CHUi changed it's name to Idol Chu-mail ("chu-mail" rhymes with "smile"). This monthly live for minor idols is held in a small live house in Shibuya, which can hold around 60 people. It was pretty full.

The event started at 19:00, and ended after 21:00. It flowed as follows. KOX idol audition Nishizaki Rino (西崎理乃) stage Hashimoto Yuu (橋本悠) stage Heart Chu stage Sakurai Yukari (桜井由香里) stage Akino Hitomi (秋野ひとみ) stage

The KOX idol audition had two girls. Both sang one sone each, and there was a very short talk with the emcee. Then each person from the audience voted on which girl can move on to the next round of the audition.

The next guest was Nishizaki Rino, who sang a few songs.

Then Hashimoto Yuu sang three songs, medium-slow songs. (Hashimoto Yuu used to go under the name Hashimoto Asobi, and was part of the Asakura Kaoru Engekidan.) It seems Yuu is also doing seiyuu work, as she mentioned she will be doing a role in an upcoming Gainax game.

The next guest was Heart Chu, who wore their standard outfits (Mieko white, Sayaka blue, Jun pink). They sang Daisuki, Morning Coffee (a Morning Musume song), and Kira Kira. After the songs, they announced some of the Kira Melo events that are coming up in the near future.

Then Sakurai Yukari sang several songs, and Akino Hitomi sang several songs.
