^ an interesting idol you are getting yourself into there *ahem*

But yah, out of the ones you listed, I'm a fan of Zekkyou, and think Akishibu and Elfoat are okay.

Anyway, seems like all of the interesting (for me) idol releases are happening around Xmas time:

Guso Drop - new single "Bousou Shoujo" - 12/23
Interesting thing here is that the single contains the DVD of their one-man-live... all 1hr44mins of it, for the nice price of 1500 yen

As for the song itself, not a big fan - it's not written by Daichi (their producer) but by someone else...

Zekkyou Suru 60-do - "Only Place We Can Cry" single - 12/23
CD and CD+DVD editions

I think the covers for this look pretty ace:

(sorry for the small size, couldn't be arsed hunting around for the bigger ones)

Honey Spice - one-man-live DVD - 12/25
Well, they announced this at the time, but nothing since, but looking forward to it. It's also one of their last shows before Yuna left.

Just noticed this article about the only idol I actually interacted a bit with (aside from some lolis that were pestering me), she has a lot of followers on twitter for such a relatively unknown group, the article explains why

I have a recommendation go see "Raw Ham and Baked Noodles" they are hilarious for me even without understanding a word of what they are saying

Someone made an article about them http://pureidolheart.net/2015/05/an-idols-mind-most-beautiful/

I can't really find any videos of them doing them justice.

I'm not 100% decided yet but I think I will go to the show at Shibuya eggman tonight, I want to see ぜんぶ君のせいだ。and from what I can tell the are based in Nagoya and I can't see if they are doing any other shows while I'm in Tokyo, as a bonus I get to see 少女閣下のインターナショナル and BPM15Q as well. The alternative is two groups I really like a lot Babyraids and PiiiiiiiN but I kinda feel like seeing something new!

As much as I love Rinahamu I couldn't tolerate the music of BPM15Q, I left halfway into the second number

(everything else was great though)

This looks like a decent show at Shibuya Eggman:

Yeah I already saw that but I didn't like the place much, people could smoke there and there is a pillar in the middle of the room - I'll probably go for the Sakura Gakuin live viewing if I can figure out how it works.

Koutei Camera Girl have a song with Glasgow in the title, that is weird

That doesn't look like Glasgow to me in that MV...

Also, Devil Anthem have a song which includes Amazing Grace at the start (and middle)...

They seem a lot more pop than I remember, I thought they were rockier, hmm...

mixedmedia · « **Reply #1170 on:** December 04, 2015, 05:26:06 PM »

^ I remember reading the explanation of Devil ANTHEM. back when they were announced on Youthsource and aside from the overly optimistic stuff, there was something about them representing light and dark, demons and angels. The new song is definitely leaning more towards angels. I think they still have a long way to go but, seems like the president of Tower Records is still pushing them pretty strong.

They also have a song with PARAGUAY in the title. You can guess 1 time, how much association are in the MV towards this country.

This group already exists since 1992... and made 42 albums in total... bizarre how I only recently discovered them.

iamcrazymike · « **Reply #1173 on:** December 05, 2015, 02:53:22 AM »

92? How old are they now?

Rezar · « **Reply #1174 on:** December 05, 2015, 04:17:23 AM »

I'm guessing none of the original members are left.

I'm not sure if they are the same ones but I see their label have those girls that sing against war and whatnot, I recall hearing them before.

Baseball girls

Urgh, so as well as the announcement of Hiro + Halu's graduation from Lolisyn http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=38654.msg1357658#msg1357658

Perhaps, spurred by her reaction to that news on twitter, I noticed that Kumachan (Kumada Kanae) has also announced a hiatus... she plans to finish up her shows that are booked for December and go on hiatus in 2016, with no plans to return (as of yet, I guess this could change, who knows).

Apparently she announced this back on 19th November and I missed it: http://ameblo.jp/macaron14-0214/entry-12097398814.html

Kinda sucks really, Lolisyn are my favourite group, Hiro my favourite current idol, and I just think Kumachan is the most fun idol live you can attend. So I'm sad about it all.

What I don't like is if part of Kumachan's absence is down to some bad fans... sigh...

A PassCode live performance, but want to know is where is this? I've never seen a stage that was essentially a hole in the second floor of a building

. . .

mixedmedia · « **Reply #1177 on:** December 07, 2015, 03:01:19 PM »

The title says "Amerika-mura Triangle Park" which is in Osaka near the Big Cat live house. I have never been there (as far as I remember) but, it's got a bit of a "subculture" reputation maybe similar to Harajuku in Tokyo, which would explain the unusual architecture.

I really want to like PassCode but it's not even about fans acting like it's a punk show, it's like the people there act like animals most of the time. I've seen other groups where the fans will time things to get the attention of their favorite members and do interesting things but if you're just trying to be like "look at me" while flailing around or taking off your clothes, that's just annoying.

I've really fallen for this girls voice, the unit she has with Jun Aonami will disband since she's turning 15 one of these days.

14 years old here

13 in this one

wattstax · « **Reply #1179 on:** December 10, 2015, 07:01:52 AM »

They disband because she is turning 15? Some kind of Sakura Gakuin sort of business model?
