I’m really enjoying both songs so far. This is probably the first Tsubaki single I’ve liked in the past couple years.

I haven't paid too much to Tsubaki Factory since all the new members joined. I do have some concerns that they're losing on of their strongest vocals, but I don't know too much about the new gens so there might be someone members who can sing among them.

Not too surprised from an age standpoint but sad nonetheless. I enjoyed her in country girls and seeing her come back and join Juice Juice was nice

I’m excited for this. It’s nice that Platonic Planet is finally getting a release. I was hoping for more album songs as it seems to be mostly singles but at least we are finally getting an album

While I’m sad that he’s leaving the company. It will be nice to see to potentially get more solo works as those slowed down a lot ever since he started writing for the groups.

It does make me wonder if we’re going to see even more of a slow down with more releases with H!P themselves since they’d ...

I actually really enjoyed Ham Katsu MV. I’m really surprised we haven’t seen a dip in MV quality yet. And it makes me wonder why the rest of H!P can’t get creative MVs like this.

A few thread ideas:
General Alt Idol Thread, so that I can mainly spam news and/or new music videos similarly to the one in Music Chat Spam.
A Live Idols thread; Not sure whether to put this in Alt Idol or K-Pop. While Live idols are Korean, they are a lot more similar to Chika Idol culture than ...

The coinlockers disbanding was such a disappointment. They had some good songs.

Manacle is an idol group formed in August 2020. The group features Imaizumi Ray, Kakizaki Risaki, Takatsuji Hina, and Maon. The three members were a part of Necronomidol formerly with Hina graduating in 2018 and Ray and Risaki graduating in 2020. Maon was formerly part of Aibeck. At the moment, the ...

Looking forward to hearing how that sounds. Did not expect to see it covered again after Kobushi Factory did it.

I figured they’d be a good choice. They’re one of the early groups that got me into the scene too. I kind of lost interest in the group for a bit after Sari graduated but I’ve recently been following them more closely again. That’s good to know about the Vulture MV. Atai no Tsumeato is definitely ...

Necronomidol are an alt idol group originally formed in 2014. Necronomidol is produced by Ricky Wilson who is an american living in Japan. They've had a changing line-up throughout the years but typically have 4-5 members at a time. Because of their producer, they are very international friendly and ...

I’ve played a lot of Genshin impact over the past year. I mainly go through phases where I play it a lot and then don’t play it for a few months. I’ve been wanting to get into FF14 but I don’t really have a means to play it yet.

I’m pretty sure she is. I’m aware of a fair amount of idols who have gotten it now but I don’t think any of them have been from Hello! Project

I’ll add some threads of a few of my favorite Alt idol groups later today when I have a bit more time to making a starting forum post.

I’m pissed. She was my favorite member in J=J and one of the top members in H!P for me. I’d been hoping the dating rules would’ve been loosened especially since other groups (Negicco and Dempagumi inc) have openly married and pregnant idols in the groups and it’s not causing anyone any issues.

I’m not surprised by this. After what happened I didn’t expect to see her come back to Tsubaki Factory at all

I actually sort of like the SP cover but Regular A is the worst. Overall though a major idol agency like H!P should have better covers than this. There’s many underground idols who have better covers and they’re working with less of a budget too

I’m disappointed that this is all true. I’m surprised they put her on hiatus instead of just straight up firing her. But maybe they’re waiting for a contract to end or something. I don’t really see her coming back from this. I hope it doesn’t hurt the group in the long run.

I liked the Dansha-ISM MV, there was a lot going on in it, but it was decent quality and the song was catchy. The single isn't my favorite but it's grown on me a lot and it's pretty decent. Not their best, but I don't think it's the worst either.

I liked it. The song really suits both of their vocals. I wouldn’t mind seeing them both do more songs like this together

Airi released a new music video. It seems to be related to something with Samsung based off of the video description. It's not my type of song, but I think she does a really good job with it.

I want to get the new animal crossing but I have some really horrifying joycon drift issues happening with my console and I should probably just send it in before I get the game but I just haven’t gotten around to it

I enjoyed it, it was a fun song, I was getting ABBA vibes from it too

I kind of stopped following them as well for similar reasons although I knew they had become pretty popular. That collaboration is really awesome

I really like both the song and the video. I got such C-ute vibes from this. I’m nervous about the future of the group but I think they’ll be ok

I actually really liked the song. It's not the best but it's the first Angerme song I've liked on the first listen in years. It doesn't really sound like a Hello! Project song though, it has a similar sound to Zaishou no Lucifer by Iketeru Hearts which may be why I like it so much.

I’m not surprised by this but still disappointed. CG was such a good group but UFP ruined it

It's been a few months and I still play a lot of Stardew Valley. I have fairly limited games with me when I'm living at college so it's been nice. I'm interested in the new Dragon Quest game although I've never played any previous games.

This is exciting! I always enjoy at least one of the songs on Tsubaki Factory releases and it's been a while since there was one.
