But maybe I get what you mean - not just interviews and lives, but more, hmm, structure/overall things linking everything together.

Exactly. For a documentation of insight into the idol world it had too long live videos and too less "journalism". For a live dvd on the other hand viceaversa: too much talk.
For example I would like someone to explore the interaction during lives between the audience and the idols on stage. This is something unique and new for many viewers not acquainted with idols. It would explain much better the infatuation towards the genre.

Not sure it's a good thing with Rei stage-diving, in Japan the fans seem to be very polite but not sure drunken westerners always will be.

^It's not a good idea... Ask SNH48 members to tell the girls about Drunken Westerners.....

I would even delete the 'drunken' part.
In western music are there even examples of female artists stage diving? Popular mainstream music that is?
Even more strange they really do it overseas. Though on the other hand they can be certain that the majority are idol fans there as well and therefore behave (not so subtle self-paise

)

I think if anyone was drunk in the front of LADY BABY, after they had waited over 90 minutes for them to start, they would have been sober. The terrible DJ selection didn't help either. Seems like Rie and Rei got caught up in the moment.

More Honey Spice!

That would be really interesting! Something exploring not just the on-stage interaction, but the whole idol-fan relationship would be great... and it's always nice for me to try and get an insight into how things work with regular Japanese fans who attend a lot of the events...

Re: Ladybaby in NYC...

That livestream really pissed me off... they were one and a half hours late and the stream was the worst quality... constantly cutting out...

As for the stage-diving comment... all members were happy to hug fans after the event (from pics I've seen...)

Awesome! Nice photo

Wasn't expected someone to post that as a follow up, from a fellow Mayuyu fan, too

I hope they come back!

Random Saochu facts: she's ex-Alice Project, and is studying English at university.
Um, I know nothing about Non-chan though

Then this is a must read (if you haven't already): http://www.tofugu.com/2015/09/01/life-of-a-japanese-idol-otaku/
It's insightful, to say the least...

♥ LADYBABY ♥
Ladybaby is a group from Japan that mixes the sound of J-Pop and heavy metal into a genre called ”KAWAIICORE.” LadyBaby was formed by LadyBeard, a cross-dressing Australian wrestler, and 2 other Japanese teenage girls, Rie Kaneko and Rei Kuromiya, in order to promote the Japanese costume company, Clearstone. Soon after they released their shockingly kawaii music video on Youtube, they hit 5 million views in only 2 weeks. LADYBABY is about to take over the world beyond the boundaries of national borders, gender, and all generations in the most "kawaii" way possible!

Rei, such a crazy girl.

200 people? Are they insane?! I hope for the sake of people in LA that the DJ there has a better catalog of songs.

If anything, stage diving overseas seems more dangerous because like 90% of the people in the audience are watching through the screens on their mobile devices or someone could get stabbed by a selfie stick.
