New Age Idols

Image Courtesy: DESURABBITS Official Website This article is dedicated to one of my all-time favorite Japanese Pop groups... As you saw by the titled, the group is Desu. Rabbits or the artist formerly known as Death Rabbits. If you do not know this group by now, then you either must be living under a rock or you may not care to hear their music. Either way, you still should know about them regardless. I will provide all you readers with an introduction to the group and include their various forms of SNS they use. Later on in the article, I will showcase some of my favorite music videos of theirs. Also including in this article is how my fandom came to fruition and what this group means to me as well. So please read all the way to the bottom! Group Inroduction The group Desu Rabbits are under the label G-Records Japan. The group was formed in 2013 with members Emi, Yuzu, Karin and last but not least Bucho.  Up to this point, the group has released 10 singles...

Recently, I went on a trip to Beijing and Shanghai to experience a few events I never will forget. Before then, will you come along with me as I detail how I got to that point, what all transpired and what the future holds for my fandom after three years... I first saw SNH48 when they released their music video for the song Uza  (which is the Chinese version of the AKB48 song) and I enjoyed it but never payed attention to the group afterwards. A little later in March 2016, I read an article about a SNH48 member, Tang Anqi. In that article, it was described that she caught on fire in a Shanghai Café and burned 80% of her body. As that initial shock passed, deep inside was dwelling a dormant fan.  The presence of that person would partially appear a few months later, but wouldn’t fully appear until a year later. In June of 2016, I read that AKB48 Group and SNH48 Group were splitting up due to issues that I really won't go into detail about because it w...

First and foremost, I must apologize to this group and agency for such a late write up. I have been sitting on this article for almost four years now. In that time, members have left but also some new ones have arrived. Will you kindly join me for a long overdue article about one of my favorite groups, ROSARIO + CROSS. http://rosariocross.jp/profile/ http://rosariocross.jp/ How did I find about this group? You may or may not ask yourself right now. Well let's hop into the way back machine to 2015. As you do during your days off or before and after work, you scroll through YouTube while watching other music videos from other artists. I don't remember who I was watching at that time but in my recommended section was this group that I hadn't heard of, so I gave it a listen and liked it. That song was "Short Hair" and I fell in love at that moment. After that video, I looked up the members, did some research and just relaxed while waiting for a new ...

Hello Everyone! I am back. Yes you read that correct! I am back to writing about Japanese Idols again.... Where have I been? You may or may not have asked yourself. For starters, I hit a bit of writer's block to be honest and Japanese Pop began to fade from me as I began to delve more and more into Korean and Mandarin Pop. As days went on without writing, I felt like I should have done more to plow through the block but I gave in and abandoned what I worked hard on. Secondly, I'm going to put a little, just a little bit of the blame on personal things outside of the site such as new relationships and even a new job which restrained my time away from the office. But most importantly, I blame myself once again for leaving you all without a trace of what had happened and what the future was for this page. I put so much time into this place that it hurt my heart, looking back on it. I want to sincerely apologize for the time lost on here and for all the people that...

Photo Courtesy: YSM Official Twitter I'm going to be super honest about this. I have completely fallen for this group over the past few months. Now to admit, I'm not a big indie rock fan or a rock fan to begin with unless you are talking about 70s and 80s rock that my parents listen to still to this day. Yet thanks to this fantastic group, I got a ear opening experience unlike I have never heard in a long time. This group is so underrated that it is killing me. They are competing to gain some ground in a already swamped entertainment industry but I really think they have the talent to have great success. I happened to stumble across this group while on my vacation to Tokyo back in April of this year. I saw that their full debut album "BUBBLE"   was featured in the new release section at Tower Records in Shibuya of course. I picked it up to listen to because I was very drawn in by the cover work of that album so I put on the headphones and proceeded to ...
