NECRONOMIDOL's new album VOIDHYMN is out now
 
Get it, in one form or another. It's good.

This does not really belong here but it also kinda does, Nakano Sun Plaza is to be demolished (and rebuilt by 2024).

Damn you weren't joking. Gaki was only starting to shine towards the end of her MM tenure, good to see it hasn't gone to waste.

And what's with Taka's sponsored by Petzl ear...things?

Reins has new merch. I guess it's sold at some live event only for now.

For what it's worth, the image on her website is actually hosted on helloproject.com, in smaller size though.

[quote="Myst"] https://mobile.twitter.com/tsunkuboy/status/1035306240883154945 Mizuki is in Hawaii! It looks to me that they are by the Ala Wai Marina between Ala Moana and Waikiki. A pretty good restaurant sits right off the marina there, which is why it looks familiar to me even though i...

Reina is on Twitter now   EDIT: Apparently it's the whole new package, website, insta and all.

That's too bad. I understand the objective reasons, but for some inexplicable reason I really liked having her around. Say she is bland as much as you want, but at this point she's one of very few with any personality - even if it's a very down to earth one. Also she was the one who held my hand wit...

I watched The Last Jedi now that it's finally out in streaming and boy this was the most thoroughly unthrilled and unexcited that so many millions of dollars have ever made me. Also with the amount of stupid "funny" shit crammed into it Disney managed to make JarJar Binks look like somethi...

The interesting idols have moved from Budokan to stuffy pint-sized underground live houses and are stepping all over the mainstream competition and the audience too. Quite literally.

The JPope is getting into K-pop, it's the end of times.

If you squint it looks kinda ok.

[quote="Myst"] Anyone remember that boxset of Ai no Tane to 3rd Love Paradise? It had each individual single with extra tracks, and a bonus karaoke cd for "popular" b-sides and album tracks. That thing was pretty great, and they said they were going to do more, but never did. [/q...

Yaguchi Mari has popped up on Netflix as a host for this terrible reality show, "Rea(L)ove." I am so embarrassed for her.

I'm more surprised by eri popping up on the BBS!

Amuse just confirmed they're insane and even more incompetent than UpFront at managing the members, also Babymetal as you knew and loved it is no more.
 
It's been a fun ride though.
