Mai graduated from college

new visual!

they completed the shooting of the MV, it's going to be released on March 27,

but seems they are going to released it to their fan club first so i'm not sure if it's going to be on the same day for everyone

 

[Stan BiSH]

so i was right and today the MV was "released" only to members of their fanclub

i hope we don't have to wait too much

 

[Stan BiSH]

the MV it's going to be released on April 4!

the song is really cute and soothing

no idea who is the girl on the video, i mean is definitely not one of them
but i guess it wouldn't be the first time since in Senko Hanabi they also had another person appearing for almost the entire MV



oh, and no train



--

tomorrow they are going to do a live stream on LINE



i guess it's to talk about "April"

"4月の定例会！～前編～"
Regular meeting in April! ~ Part 1 ~

this part sounds interesting not sure what they mean by "regular" or "part 1"

and now i have a reason to update the thread title

they are amazing! i think everyone that has listened to them can agree that their music is really good

so is pretty sad that they still are so underrated, for me Babysitter are the group i want to see the most having their big breakthrough


also
Stereopony

these days it's rare hearing that name, going a little off topic, they debuted the same year as SCANDAL and even where label mates for a little while
so the fact that it's been almost 10 years since their disbanding makes it more incredible how SCANDAL and SILENT SIREN are still around

Stereopony holds a special place in my heart and music collection.
They will always be cherished by this one.

SCANDAL. is really upping their game all the time.
And I haven't listened to anything new from them for a number of years.
But I want to soon.

The 'J' always makes such special music and always heartfelt and uplifting. Just like its Japanese people.

i think this is my favorite Stereopony song




iirc it was the OP or ED from Darker than black (which was a decent Anime), pretty sure it was the first song i hear of them

their latest album "A kiss from the darkness" it's worth checking!




personally i think AKFTD is their best album since "Hello world" it's pretty amazing how 15th years in they are still putting out good stuff

their previous album "Honey" is also good

The 'J' always makes such special music and always heartfelt and uplifting. Just like its Japanese people.

right now there are like 20+ Japanese groups that i like (and don't get me starting on Kpop groups)

on the other hand i can't recall when was the last time a western act managed to catch my attention?
i mean i still check new releases and i like some new songs, so is not like i'm trying to say that music from one country or continent is superior
but these days even Russian groups like IC3PEAK or Little big seen more appealing to me

I try to get music from everywhere. Just like how I adore and respect my roots.
My music collection is a very reflection of that.

That aside. I am in the same boat. I am going more towards Asia than Europe and North America these days musically.
It's sad that we have a lot of great Australian artists/bands yet our radioplay is dominated by overseas acts...

Like Amy shark is really good as well as the amity affliction. Off-Topic there. But you get what I mean.

 

[Stan BiSH]

their concert schedule for late May was cancelled



it was sold out since last month



the reason is that Japan is going through a second wave of Covid cases

 

[Stan BiSH]

almost a month since their last update... but apparently they are in the studio again!

they recorded a new song "Moshimo kanaunara / もしも叶うなら"




new Merch

 

[Stan BiSH]

announcement tomorrow!

18:00 tomorrow!⋆ ͛⋆

BabySitter has an announcement!

looking forward to it! !!⋆⋆ ͛​

i'm going to try keeping my hype low for now since we know they very rarely bother teasing major announcements,

...on the other hand they have been using this emoji a lot lately:
they used a mikan / orange emoji for "Tsuburetta mikan" and a calendar emoji for "Calendar", i think they only do that for music videos


another possibility: their May concert that got postponed




could be related to that too

 

[Stan BiSH]

big news!?

⋆͛ 7/5 Subscription ban lifted! !! ⋆͛

It's been out of stock for a long time and everyone has been saying "I want to hear it" and "I want to buy it".
So on July 5 (Monday) the subscription ban of a single containing 3 songs, including "Superhero", will be lifted!

I want many people to listen to it!
​

-

subscription = digital store or streaming service right? for example i recall that earlier this year "Cinderella Sengen!" also used "サブスク" as synonymous to their Spotify
that would be amazing, i can already picture myself listening to each of their songs at least 1,000 times

the original track list of "Superhero" were three songs

1. スーパーヒーロー (Superhero)
2. 怪盗ROCK
3. Audience

"Superhero" aside i don't think I've ever heard the others

...but that sounds almost too good to be true, i think i want a little more info before getting my hopes high

 

[Stan BiSH]

there are good news and bad news (not even that bad)


first the good news

"Superhero" is out!

linkco / tunecore link

Superhero by BabySitter

Album ⢠2021 ⢠3 Songs ⢠14 mins

linkco.re

press release

BabySitter、「スーパーヒーロー」を配信開始｜THE MAGAZINE

BabySitterの「スーパーヒーロー」が配信開始された。今回、デジタル配信リリースされた楽曲は、「スーパーヒーロー」「怪盗ROCK」「Audience」となっている。

magazine.tunecore.co.jp

i checked all the links and is available pretty much everywhere so thankfully no region locks


"Superhero" on Spotify




also "Superhero" ranked somewhere in the LINE daily ranking,
unfortunately when i checked it was the next day already and i don't know how to check LINE's previous day rankings

LINE MUSIC

新曲から名曲まで課金登録なしでも楽しめる定額制音楽サービス「LINE MUSIC」 最新ランキング・ミュージックビデオ・カラオケまで、ぜんぶまるごと“音楽を楽しみ放題！”

music.line.me

the song has a [hit] tag

Tunecore list their highest ranking on itunes

BabySitter

Listen to on digital music services.

www.tunecore.co.jp

Superhero and Kaitou Rock ranked #3 and #4 at the Indonesia Jpop chart

i have no idea how popular is Jpop in Indonesia but 2 songs in the top 5 seems good

>Japanese band not ranking in Japanese charts (but i think there is an explanation about why isn't ranking in Japan)


the "bad" news

• there is no Tweet about the release (at least not anymore), i only found out by checking fan tweets, so i think a lot of people still don't know is out already
• Spotify uploaded their songs to another artist profile (who also are called babysitter)

my take is that they took down the tweet until their Spotify gets fixed, otherwise people are just going to subscribe to the other artist,
for example when i checked that profile they only had like 10 / 20 monthly listeners and just a day later they jumped to almost 100
also their Tunecore profile says "babysitter.girlfriend", i wonder if the person who created their profile confuse them with the band Girlfriend

Mai's 23 birthday was yesterday

 

[Stan BiSH]

because i don't have anything better to do i've been researching Babysitter

some of my findings:

in 2016 Yui along 10,000 other participants entered an audition to select the singer of the theme song for the movie "Bully School: Devil Full Of Scars",

19歳のロック美女が栄冠！映画主題歌にいきなり抜擢、1万人からグランプリ＜映画「傷だらけの悪魔」オーディション＞ - モデルプレス

B’z、倉木麻衣、BREAKERZなどが所属するBeing Groupが主催する、「映画『傷だらけの悪魔』主題歌 女性シンガーオーディション」の最終審査が29日、都内で開催され、“ロックスター”を目指す、東京都出身の菜々さん（19）が、応募総数1万人から見事グランプリ。菜々さんは、映画主題歌にいきなり抜擢されるだけでなく、サプライズで同作への出演権も獲得した。

(Yui at min 10:35)

she didn't win but did make it to the top 3, girl at the center is called NANA and she won the audition

Yui won the judges "special prize" and the girl on the right won the "Nextstar prize", unfortunately seems those titles were just symbolic

"i beat 9,998 girls in an audition and all i got was this lousy sash"


the winner released this song but stopped activities about a year later




-

once i saw some pictures on them in uniforms + diplomas, i thought it was weird since Rio didn't attended the same school

seems they were just cosplaying

but Rio and Mai graduated together for real




speaking of graduations, originally the band was Yui, Miku, Mai and Arisa, when arisa left the group Rio was recruited

seems that Arisa is the same as the one in the band QUINCE

(she is being followed by all the Babysitter members)

-

they once met the band GIRLFRIEND (rip)



GIRLFRIEND once met SCANDAL



that's the closest thing we have to a SCANDAL x Babysitter interaction

-

the members playing Basketball and Baseball




-

several years ago they competed in some sort of "battle of the bands", they played Superhero (probably the first live recording of Superhero?)




one of the judges:

shat on them
tried to tell them how to run a girl band
voted against them



clearly nitpicking and biased

 

[Stan BiSH]

Yui is going to be feature in "Akihisa Kondo"' new single "Bullets"



let's hope the single becomes a success and Babysitter gets noticed by Universal

 

[Stan BiSH]

Yui's birthday



are they rehearsing?
