This sounds like Korean realities The Unit and Mix Nine because in the first you can participate if you are professional or amateur but you cannot be obtained enough showbiz to be famous and with the second you should compete against other idols to win a place. This is interesting because there are new opportunities for those girls who don't make before this program. Greetings
Thanks for making this thread, I've only watched the first 3 episodes but I really like the format of the show. It feels less crowded and less on drama but I have yet to see the rest so it might've changed
for yesterday (11/11/2017)episode, the 16th and 17th battle were taken out. The first battle of the night was between our current No3. Ooishi Natsumi vs the 15th year old Omori Rio. And the 2nd battle was between our current No2. Yoshizaki Aya against Momiyama Himeri. Both battle's winners were our current temporary members. The challengers lost. However, many people have said from the trailer of next week episode: there might be another change position coming soon....
Yeah, this did remind me of K-Pop's competition shows. Anyway, where can I find to watch this show? I'm in America and I don't get a lot of access...
Since the beginning of the program, until now, there are many of episodes have been removed online... But ì you want to search for some near episode you can use this keyword "ラストアイドル" though.
omg....Nagatsuki Midori return as Last Idol #5 and also concurrent wwith Choux Cream Rocket ... !!!! I also have the same thinking when will Wakana be back to the show!!!!
I saw this episode and I think we will see Wakana next week! They talked about 3rd 2nd unit!! and they said there was a member of this unit who had an accident and "broke" (I don't know if it's broken lol) her foot and I know Wakana is this girl (she said it on twitter!) It looks like new unit will be 6 (or 5?) members! Source:
I never expected a withdraw here Edit: Also, since when this is a thing? https://www.showroom-live.com/campaign/last-idol
