New Age Idols

My Favorite Picture From My Trip (Senso-ji Temple) As the title suggests, I will be answering questions I have received from my personal life regarding my love for idols. Okay, I will start with the most common one I have received. - What are you listening to? This happens a lot of times at work with people who do not know me so well. I will be playing my jams and I get that question. They usually ask if it is Spanish (since I do live in the states) and my answer obviously is, no. I usually explain to them what I am listening to and get the shrug and walk away but I don't care. I have my tastes and they have theirs. - They look so young. Do you like girls that age? I am going to give you idols a compliment. You all look young, which is really great. As for myself, I don't look like my age either. The answer to the question is hard in its own right. Let's say that in the case of AKB48, some members can be quite young or Sakura Gakuin in most cases. ...

First and foremost, I planned on making a video review but I enjoy writing more so I decided to do that instead. I'm sorry. I still hope you read this and deeply consider purchasing this great album. I do plan on releasing a group review, technically a duo review of Why@Doll here soon but I really plan on something big for that one. According to the astrological signs, me (Taurus) does not have great compatibility with a Gemini. They were wrong. Let me say that this album has 14 tracks total which include six from their second and third singles, plus seven studio recorded tracks and a bonus song as well. In my opinion, that sounds like a fantastic album. As a duo, this is their first full-length album. Well, they has always been a duo. You get my point. When I saw this album on the release list, I flashed back to my trip to Tokyo when I saw them perform live and I knew I had to get it pronto. I enjoyed them so much during that event because I had front r...

Update 1-26-2016: I originally released this article on August 31st, 2014. It was one of the first three I made and it showed. After about a year and a half, it is time to redo this article in my styling. I am including updated information and also actual member pictures. Aoyama Saint Hachamecha High School has got to be one of my favorite indie idols that I have enjoyed listening to in the past year or so. Their music is so upbeat and energetic that it will cause you to have a dance contest. So let us get into it. A little backstory behind this group. The group participated in the show Shibuara Nico Sei Idol Collection in early 2012 where they had to get 1000 copies of their single Hachamecha School Days pre-ordered in order to make their debut. The groups currently hosts a segment on Uta Musume on TV Saitama and has since 2013. Their fourth single was released back in March called, Starting Over, which was the opening song for the TV show Rank Oukoku, which ai...

All photos courtesy: Yagura Fuuko Facebook Page Since I like Japanese Pop a lot, I mean a lot, you start to follow multiple idol groups all the time. I don't mind it but it can be a little hectic from time to time. I have been a fan of the 48 groups for about two years now, give or take a couple of months. I had my AKB/SKE kami-oshi Matsui Rena. Then she graduated. After graduation I changed it to just my AKB kami-oshi, which is Okada Nana. As for HKT, I haven't decided yet but that will soon change. For SKEs' sake in this situation, I really don't have one. That would leave in terms of main 48 sister groups, NMB48. I rarely knew of NMB except through Miyuki Watanabe and Yamamoto Sayaka. I liked them but I never really chose a favorite until recently. I saw this video in a Facebook group I am joined in and I had to find out who this member was. 雪にダイブッ⛄️ #憧れのダイブッ #この後びしょびしょ #さ〜む〜い Posted by Yagura Fuuko - 矢倉楓子 NMB48 on Friday, Novembe...

As you can tell, some things have changed here. Not only is there a new URL but also, there is a new look, Starting from the header down to the footer. I have added a couple of pages to the new site including a About Me section and a Contact section. They are on the tabs above. I also would like to say thank you to everybody who made this possible. Technically it is the same site as my previous blog but a new address, I hope you like the look and let's learn more about idols why don't we. Also, I would like to add a new feature to this site as well. I will be posting weekly idol news to get you all caught up. Research is going to be quite heavy but I can do it. If possible, I would like to try videos out for a change but that is still a work in progress, so stay tuned.

Attention: Notall is back with a new single after their recent release of  my baby, my lover  which was a great single but I have to admit they did a even better job with this one. No Joke. As soon as I found out about this release I immediately pre-ordered it, especially when I saw that they collaborated with the other indie group CYNTIA​ for their lead track,  Just Now . I still would have bought it even if they wouldn't have done that. I really liked the cover art of this single as each member looks extra cute.  Sorry for embarrassing you. Now for my single review of  Just Now. The single has three tracks on it. The title track  Just Now  is one of those songs that you could have on a road trip and jam out to it while on a open highway.  The chord at the beginning gets the song to a great start right off the bat. The vocals come in with the order: The whole group then Katase Narumi, Tasaki Reina, Watanabe Chiko and fina...

Do you like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies & cream shakes? If not, what is wrong with you? I'm just playing. So, with that introduction let me introduce you to one of the most underrated idol groups that I have been fond of recently. The groups name is MilkShake Nagasaki and as in the name of the group, they are named after the ice cream dessert. But in Nagasaki, unlike here in the states, is not in a drink form. It is in more of a sorbet format. According to online sources, it has a vanilla and citrus flavor to it, which sounds incredible. Truth be told, before writing this, I actually went out and purchased one to eat while writing. Group / Member Information Group Debut : July 2013 The group originally had six members. The lineup featured Miyu Nishiyama, Runa Itoh, Mai Murakami, Maria Nakagawa, Yuuna Kawai, and Kei Yokozawa. In May 2014, Miyu Nishiyama graduated from the group. After Miyus' graduatation, MilkShake Nagasaki added fiv...
