A convenience store in my neighborhood loops Yoasobi - Idol Well, this song is too mainstream lmao but at least this convenience store loops a song that isn't KPop
Woman accused of burying corpse of newborn turned to sex trade to support ‘underground idol’ https://www.tokyoreporter.com/crime...ned-to-sex-trade-to-support-underground-idol/ Minagawa Kotomi (29) was so obsessed about a male chika idol that she used to spend around 1 million yen per month to push her oshi and had to turn to sex work to support her unhealthy obsession. "“She spent a lot of money, and she couldn’t even pay her mobile telephone or utility bills. There were many times when the electricity in her apartment was turned off.” Then she got pregnant with a customer, gave birth to a child and buried it in the garden at her parents residence. No one know who is the father of this child. The idol group's name isn't shown in news reports, but internet sleuths quickly pointed out that the group is extremely likely to be #HASHTAG. https://jpop.fandom.com/wiki/HASHTAG This group fit almost every description in various Japanese articles: - Is in Nagoya - Active before 2017 - Had some notability - Recently disbanded in 2023 - Management company also have a underground girl group and this girl group is not notable PS: With 48G member, people can only shake idols hand, this male group allow fans to do much more. I think people should have a limit on how should they support their oshi.

Takamina's 'alter ego' Fujishiro of tribute act POIDOL48 visited the AKB48 Costume Exhibition: https://twitter.com/fujishiro_1016/status/1688193159191511040
I wonder if AKB48 would react to SNH48's plan overseas sister groups Would this stimulate AKB48 to create new sister groups too after a long time? But rather than overseas sister groups, I'd suggest AKB48 to create a sister group in Sapporo, Hokkaido But yeah, we know that currently AKB48 doesn't have enough budgets to create new sister groups
If you live in an area where you can get the Threads app (e.g., outside the EU), you should get it Many idols (graduated: Maeda Atsuko and Yuihan, and current: Sato Kaho, Team E) post on Threads, much of which is not on Instagram. There is also lots of gravure. Even AV actresses post on Threads, but none of the images are pornographic. Here are some posts of kuriemi (kurita emi), a model, who used to be in an idol group with Komori Yui, a HKT48 graduate. https://www.threads.net/@kurita__emi
A summary of the scandal involving popular WeatherNews caster Saya Hiyama if the video does not show watch the video here I don't subscribe to the channel because the creator, in his earlier videos, gave me the impression of disliking or disrespecting Japan idol culture and its fans. I believe he may be of Japanese ethnicity or even Japanese nationality. Nevertheless his summary is good and concludes with a nice resolution for saya and the weathernews channel. the story includes references to infamous AKB48 scandals, miichan, rirpon, nana. the only mistake i heard is that the creator refers to mukaichi mion as AKB48 director and former idol. oh yeah, and 1 more for the post dump the venerable hank williams sr NWA mashup if the video does not show watch the video here
Second mistake is saying management forced Miichan to shave her head, she has always firmly maintained it was her own decision and that in hindsight it was a mistake. She just wanted to show how sorry she was and never imagined it to blow up as it did .... hell, even after 10 years it still comes up Third mistake: calling Miichan legendary, she is kinda now, but at the time she was a top member, but not legendary btw, calling Miion a former idol tells me he did some pretty lazy research
JKT48 going to Malaysia next weekend Feels like Superball is observing this because they become interested to create a 48 group there to reply to SNH48, they need to study about 48g popularity in Malaysia by sending JKT48 that sings in a similar language
since this is a dump, IMO the ownership of this forum and the wiki should be transferred, it's been 4 f*ckin years since we could upload sh*t there

Yoshiki will get his handprint cast in cement in front of the TCL Chinese Theater. Yoshiki’s legacy is being etched in stone – literally. The Japanese superstar will soon leave his handprints in cement at the historic Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, making him the first Japanese artist to do so since the tradition began in 1927. Yoshiki is one of 300 artists to put his imprint in cement, with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Cher and Katy Perry among the vast-ranging other artists to have done so over the past nearly 100 years. In addition to signing their names, many artists are immortalized through symbols such as the wands from the Harry Potter film series used by stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, and Groucho Marx’s cigar. The ceremony will take place on September 14 at the Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Guest speakers at Yoshiki’s ceremony include KISS’ Gene Simmons and Squid Game star Lee Byung-hun, who was one of the first South Korean actors to have his handprints placed in cement at the Chinese Theatre in 2012.
