THE COINLOCKERS (2018/12/23 - 2021/12/22)

i know it's a wild idea but it suddenly popped on my mind but nozomi just left the idol group she was supposed to be part of and is not affiliated with anybody now

+500 yen for the handling fee so a total of 6000 yen!!! even the japanese fans are also saying it's too high especially for just an online streaming. you kinda have to pay the same price with those who will come to the actual live. but idiot me still bought it because i dont want to miss on the final performance of the 3

 

Said that before, she is a lovable weirdo ( '◡' )
She is one of those people who could make it, if they stick to or focus on something, but decides to do somethign else...

Same, I only got it to show some support to the leaving members.
But it is nuts, Shinsei Kamattechan streamed a low budget camera/audio live via niconico for free today and bigger bands usually charge 1000-4000JPY max (with fees included) for streaming tickets. I jsut checked, the highest I paid was for a Ling Tosite Sigure show and that was ~3400JPY with fees included...

But it was hilarious to see Ruu starting off a chain reaction of tears ( '◡' )
Good thing in this show was, that they didn't played cover songs from idol bands and stick to their own tracks.
I'm curious to see how they will develop without, imo, two of the core members

By the way, homepage has been updated with new (summer gear) photos and new logo

 

well, lots of crying as expected. Utaitakute Utaitakute is so hyped with fans. favorite part is mirai shushing the fans cause they can't help shout to the song lol.

They definitely didn't wasted time promoting their new look. as soon as June 11 ended they changed their pictures lol. I think it would definitely be weird seeing their new formation which will be kinda imbalanced cause 2 drummers were essentially lost with matsurina probably playing bass now when they play as 10.

I guess this is also a way to increase interest in the band. Please support her, and the band, if you can spare some time.

Takahashi Misaki takes part in Bishoujo Camp audtion. If you want to support her, join her mixchannel account. -> https://mixch.tv/u/15949809
her streams are quite entertaining, especially when her sister, who is btw a 2nd generation sakura girl. joins in. plus sometimes she does do some music streams!

Яuu
old personal, but now active instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/ruuzone/
Most people knew that she was active in the music scene before the coinlockers, so don't be surprised with some of her old photos and videos on her account.

 

Matsurina is also participating in a Mixch event to appear on a Music Program called Music BB. her Account: https://mixch.tv/u/14798594

Plus them as a group will participate in another event in Mixch as well to appear in a Billboard/Advertisement thingy that can be seen on the JAM Expo which they will be appearing on 8/27
their group account: https://mixch.tv/u/16056692

why does it seems like warner is not putting any money on them anymore? lol. they even came out on programs like Love Music before for their first year but now they have to join an online audition event just to get featured on a program.

Anyways, there are a lot of teasing from the members that something is coming up(the Amiri photo with the emojis they uploaded on twitter and insta is maybe a part of it as well???) which is probably a new single so that's one good thing to look forward to

support her if you can! Just be careful with your money, don't go overboard if you cannot afford to do so.

i wonder if the management caught wind that shworoom have been blocking most foreign IP addresses since late june...

Oh new single is called アイスちょうだい (Ice choudai ?) and will be released on the 30/JUL/2021. Source: https://twitter.com/the_coinlockers/status/1417095255397081090
...darn, I think it has already been broadcasted....

 

With such a short notice, I'm thinking more on a new song, rather than a whole single.

 

I think it is a proper single, as it includes a cover version of

Spoiler

Bascially a fullblown summer single release
Looks like the track is composed by YU-JIN again. He must be Aki-P golden boy this year

Another tie-up with mixchannel. New program [ロッカーキーなくしました]　literally "I lost my locker key" with the first broadcast on July 30 8pm JST. it comes out once every two weeks and probably has same variety format with other idol shows.

 

captian position abolished. Source: https://twitter.com/the_coinlockers/status/1421008049108439042
more changes to come? probably.

It seems to be an interactive show with the people in the chat and you can win stuff(?) or somwething. Not sure if it will have an archieve, but looks like I won't be able to watch it, due to tiemzones.

 

The show is going to be archived, keep an eye on the aanouncements.
The next one is scheduled for 08/13
