New Age Idols

L-R Yuria, Kotori,Yuka I saw this video actually today so this is kind of a brief music video review. I had to do this because of what this video is based around. The groups name is Kotori With Stitchbird. They are under the Avex label and they were started in mid 2015. A little backstory behind the video and group: It is the ending theme for Yokai Watch Season 2 in Japan (started January 2016). Now Yokai Watch was never really a big deal here in the states until recently. Since I work in retail, we see a lot of things come in that grab our attention. Well, we got this display of merchandise that was labeled Yokai Watch and I was super happy. Everybody thought I was nuts. Literally bat crazy. I started singing the Dream5 theme song and annoying the living tar out of my coworkers. I thought it was pretty darn funny. Anyways, since then I have seen more and more merchandise plus the English dubbed release on DisneyXD at 2AM CT. I am happy to see that pl...

If you got the very bad title pun, thank you! I thought of it myself. Fail. Anyways, I would like to introduce you to a new and upcoming, very underrated idol group that goes by the name Atlantis Castle. The motto of the group is that the "Brilliance Aura of Legend" is said to be somewhere in the world and searchers have never found this "glowing aura". Now these adventures have set forth on a mission to find it. This group is also know as a RPG idol group. If you don't know what a RPG is, let me explain. A RPG or role-playing game is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Each of them portray a certain character and I will introduce the members and their characters below.  On their website they showcase statistics but it is kind of difficult to explain. I do know the categories are: HP (Hit Points), MP (Magic Points), ATK (Attack Points), Defense and Quickness. Sadly, I had to ...

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...
