(Group) Guso Drop / 2& / Bakuretsu Joshi (Burst Girl)
« on: July 18, 2016, 09:31:00 PM »
Guso Drop
偶想Drop





This is a long overdue thread for the self-proclaimed "heaviest idols in the world" Guso Drop. As such, they do rock music, with an emphasis on a fun live experience with all sorts going on - the members like to crowdsurf, walk all over the crowds, spit water all over them, and sometimes slap them. Rei sometimes wanders about with a baseball bat and Yura will hit you over the head with a plastic mallet. Saki and Rei do the screaming.

Members (from left to right in the above picture):

Rei -  https://twitter.com/BOSS_gdrop
Saki - https://twitter.com/saki_gdrop
Yura - https://twitter.com/yurapiko_gdrop
Anna - https://twitter.com/anna_gdrop

Saki is also a solo artist by the name of 2& (pronounced DOUBLEAND). This project started a couple of years before Guso Drop, and was originally a 2-piece. Originally they treated Guso Drop Saki and 2& Saki as different people, before revealing, in late 2015, that they were indeed the same person.

There was a 5th member, Shion, who left to study for university. She was absent at the end of 2015 for a while before returning, but then decided to quit. The group then decided to continue on as a 4-piece and the old songs were slightly re-arranged to suit.

Sound quality isn't good, but interesting to see them do cover versions of classic idol songs:

So the new range of Guso Drop merchandise is quite amusing.

It starts with some nice t-shirts:



Moves on to some other items I can imagine otaku buying...



Then ends up with granny trolleys, and nailclipper sets...



Amongst some other odd stuff...

They held their 2nd anniversary live today at Shinjuku Loft. The subtitle for this was 〜There is important news〜

Turned out to be quite damn important...

Saki announced her graduation from Guso Drop.

Most of the announcement is in this image, but from what I can tell (and I may be wrong), she'll graduate on 2016/12/31, and continue on from then as just 2&, and Guso Drop will continue on in 2017 and want to recruit 3 more to make it a 6-piece group.

Sad but not that surprising, I've seen people mention that she might leave.

Hmm, yeah, Guso Drop to me, without Saki, will be quite a different group. It's good there is 3 months notice, so the fan's can enjoy 4-member Guso Drop for a good while. Personally, I've always preferred Guso Drop's music and lives a lot more than 2&'s, so it's a little sad she's chosen 2&. Also kinda odd is that nowadays mostly they've been performing at the same live events. Although both are quite demanding lives, so doing double duty like that is indeed difficult.

Anyway, here's a video of the announcement, during today's 2& set:

Saw Guso drop for the first time today. I wasn't really a fan before but I am now. They give a really good live show. They also threw cds and (fake) vynils in the crowd (boxes and boxes). It was funny.

I didn't stay for tsubasa fly's final concert. Apparently the o-west concert hall was packed so tightly you couldn't leave during their set even if you wanted to.

In my opinion they are the best live group - (also it's not really a fake vinyl is a cd).

Glad you liked them!



Looks like the details are being set for Saki's graduation show:

https://twitter.com/gu_dro/status/778530574965231617

15:00-19:00 on 2016/12/31 at Meguro Rockmaykan.

It's quite fitting to hold it there - it's kinda like their home.

First glimpse of a vocal version of Snow Rain@Tokyo!

There's almost 2minutes of it in this practice vid: https://twitter.com/gu_dro/status/781411437772103680/video/1

It's been 11months since they posted the no-vocal version on soundcloud so thought it was never going to appear! https://soundcloud.com/drop-12/snow-rain

Seems like Guso Drop have been recording the song 「偶神」 "Gushin" (also the name of their official fanclub) today for CD release on 11/23. Rei's twitter says the CD will have 5 songs, and, err, 26 covers...

Edit: PV preview:



Seems like the 26 covers will be Types A through Z, LOL

Guso Drop new members:



Left to right: Rin, Waka, Miyako

https://twitter.com/gu_dro/status/793808900885655552

Interestingly enough that Waka is Wakapiku, ex-Gekidol. She also was meant to be a Lolisyn REBOOT member but quit 3 days before their live debut: https://twitter.com/wakapiku77



Also, a new group Junkies made their live debut on Monday's Guso Drop regular live:



https://twitter.com/JUNKIES_JUNK

Member introduction tweet: https://twitter.com/JUNKIES_JUNK/status/789485390163877890

Yes... they wear McDonald's paper bags over their heads... so did most of the crowd... and yes, they keep them on for chekis... and eat McDonald's during the MC and chekikai... and yes, they still wear the bags for chekis... and feed you fries...



Also, last night DOUBLEAND performed with a live band (who were wearing helmets with lights for eyes...) They debuted 2&'s new song "Chippoke Hero", which will be released 2017/3/11:
