Some of them are independent local idol groups and underground japanese idol group.... And, there is Noella too there..Is that Kei ex 3rd gen member?
Well the Happy Kingdom event came out first...but i'm sure both of them planned this way back we don't know when
That's interesting. So they make their own PV and their own original song? Pretty much Indonesia's Underground Idol
I came across video of Lumina Scarlet covering Fujimoto Miki's Romantic Ukare Mode some time ago and was amazed how the audience were actually performing the wotagei with them. I guess they're the closest thing to having Hello! Project in Indonesia hehe.
Lumina Scarlet already release their own original single titled Scarlet Melody and it's a perfect mix of J-Pop vibe with Indonesian touch.... the coreo is also nice... ©S-Project
It's too bad there are no big move done by other idol group until now. It's like JKT sailling alone which is bad because no competitive environment.
Cherrybelle is auditioning for their new formation currently (wait, are they counted as 'idol group'?). Not sure how impactful their new formation could be.
By now people should already undestood that "idol group" is just a japanese term... Some people in japan also called SNSD and other korean groups as idol groups...and some AKB members also said SNSD as one of their rivals..so yes,Cherrybelle can be considered as one of JKT's rival
And the popular AKB song translator Angelina Hirawan also auditioning for Cherrybelle (she' s auditioning for JKT 2nd gen too if i'm not wrong) and passed the first stage
^ whoops auditioned (forgive my english ><) She's on quarantine (training etc) for the final audition
And Cherrybelle's new formation is complete. Interesting that one of the member (who recently got married) announced her "graduation" during the audition's final. This mean that there is only one member from the original formation. I wonder if the group could reinvigorate themselves with the new team. I wish they could "scare" JOT to keep them aware and inovating.
agree. i really hope there's some competition and rivalry for JKT48. but maybe more fanwar for the consequences.
As long as those warfare make the fans spend more money, or for each group management to improve their respective quality.... I will gladly not involved in those fanwar though, for the greater good.
