Muropanako's gone in a completely different direction than I expected after "Dinosaur in the Lemon Grove". I really like what I've heard, but I thought she'd do more avant garde stuff instead of rocking out. The sound production has improved allot.

I remember Aya saying in that interview I translated that she was planning a bunch of projects, but I suspect they got put on hold during the lockdown. Hopefully she'll be able to get back on track as things re-open.

i just noticed that muropanako deleted her profile picture, i wonder why but again, is muropanako so may as well be nothing :doge:

also

meme tokyo announced their next single "Moratorium Aquarium"

arcana project also announced theirs "Campanella Hibiku Sora de"

is good to see them busy but still i would like to know what happened to nel nehru, she just disappeared from the internet

Nao sleeps with her eyes open?! I've heard about this, but it's still feaky to see!

Ma-Me-Ma-Me-Ma-Me-Ma-Me-Ma-Me-Ma!

Kuro-chan is such a poet

Since there's only one version of the album and no DVD, Blu-ray, or photobook included, I would agree that they weren't expecting it to sell well, so they kept it really basic.

i listened to part of their album and is pretty good, among idols they really have been putting my favorite discography this year

and i wasn't going to bother checking their charting but seems Start is on route to sell better than their previous single,

in oricon Start debuted within the top 10, fell out to the teens and peaked a few days later at #4

their previous release debuted outside the top 10 and never got into it

what is hurting Mameshiba no taigun sales is that they can't build a fandom without live concerts and fan meetings, i bet there is a lot of people that likes their music but need that little push to actually go buy their album,

for example they have yet to do their first live concert with an audience!

Stan BiSH · Jun 16, 2020

New Mameshiba no taigun ep, they have to read the text from the cards the staff are holding, of course that is no normal text,
seems there are written rude or weird messages that they have to speak aloud to that chef? with increased difficulty every round

is nice to see that they are still putting these videos out weekly, i thought it was going to be just until the release of their album
and kaede reactions are always great :heartpar:

yeah surprisingly good!

i gotta admit that i'm a little biased against WAgg, i always saw the group as a temporary stop for the members while watanabe figures out what to do with them, but they are pretty so if would be nice if they could get the same treatment as the other groups

Hopefully not this time. The Group looks great and of course, if Wagg was always intended to be a middle ground to guide members to another group, why not form a group with the members that participated in this MV? Wouldn't be bad in my opinion. :shablob:

Stan BiSH said:
Ayuni D live stream concert was on June 14 but of course i forgot

at least it seems she is going to be uploading some performances in the next weeks

I knew there was something coming up but I also ended up forgetting.

i always thought that after WAgg formation there were not going to be more auditions since when they needed people for a group they would just pick one from them, but of course that didn't happen and if i recall WAgg were at first like some kind of "Kidz bop" but of wack songs, the same songs but with censored lyrics... which was weird :doge:

I knew there was something coming up but I also ended up forgetting.

despite posting about them i always end forgetting about these things :facepalm:

i'm my defense they haven't been doing much lately so i just kind of forgot to check on them

speaking of that i didn't even know that they released a teaser for LETTERS, some kind of space theme i think

Stan BiSH · Jun 18, 2020

speaking of forgetting things, lately i keep forgetting about checking on CARRY LOOSE

they came with a jingle for their new merch

Uruuru and Yumeka are going to appear in the next issue of "ITE" or "onefive" magazine, not quite sure

and Uruuru got a new hairstyle

from this

to this

Stan BiSH · Jun 18, 2020

Mameshiba No Taigun first week sales,

surprisingly they are actually better than their previous release despite the digital version going out 1 week before... still really far from "Restart" numbers but better than last time

it debuted at #10 in oricon and #7 in billboard japan

some fans report that murals with pictures of the members of wack are appearing around tokyo

here is a tweet with the messages from each member (but sadly i have no idea what they say)

some people noticed that there is a pattern in the color lines in each picture that seems to match with others and figured that message is

a huge penis :doge:

but i wonder what is this about?

checking on twitter some people think they are going to announce a new concert for all the groups

some people say this could be related to a new movie about the auditions, recently wack announced that they were going to stream all their movies on some channel so people think they are preparing to announce a new one

BiS、BiSHらWACKグループのドキュメンタリー5本がスペシャで一挙OA

WACKグループのドキュメンタリー映画が6月19日よりスペースシャワーTVで一挙放送される。

natalie.mu

it also could be nothing since again: wack :doge:

Sasori · Jun 22, 2020

I don't know when this was recorded, but Aina really gives it her all. I still wish she would consider releasing a full solo album.

WAgg held their no audience live. They pretty much just do covers of existing WACK songs, but they close the show with the song from their MV.

Sasori · Jun 23, 2020

It's finally here! All will be revealed!!!

Stan BiSH · Jun 23, 2020

Hallyu+ was down a few days ago and wiped the last post i did :knifeduck:

about those murals of wack, seem to be related to the current audition PROJECT WACKちん (PROJECT WACK CHIN)
chin = chinko = penis :doge:

speaking of the audition they are almost done, right now the contestants have to upload a video to twitter showing some their talents and posting them in the hashtag #WACKちん自己PR

---------------

Chitti appeared on the magazine GRAFFITI showing some of her favorite items since the start of the coronavirus lockdown

BiSH and BiS were going to perform at KM MUSIC 35th Anniversary "Hi-KiCKS but got postponed

but they shared this artwork from Sushio

Stan BiSH · Jun 23, 2020

PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS uploaded new teasers for their album and also pre released 4 songs

Stan BiSH · Jun 23, 2020

BiS "HEART-SHAPED BiS IT'S TOO LATE EDiTiON NO AUDiENCE LiVE" concert

Aina is great, her voice is pretty unique, i used to be worried about her releasing a solo album because i thought it could lead to her leaving but seeing how Ayuni already released 2 albums on her own and all is fine i don't see a problem anymore,

the question is if Aina would be willing to release a solo on her own, most of her non BiSH work are collaborations with other artists

Sasori said:

i was waiting for that!

so this wasn't related to their album, otherwise it would not make sense to wait after the release of it, i wonder what it is
but it seems is going to take them a while to find out :doge:

i didn't have clear what happened at the end, did the staff fill the hole again?

Sasori · Jun 25, 2020

EMPiRE will be releasing a 7 song EP in August. They'll also release an MV for one of the 3 new songs titled "This is EMPiRE SOUNDS".

Here's the teaser.

Yeah, like you said, I don't see why Aina needs to leave BiSH in order to have a solo career. I wish I knew why she prefers to mainly do collaborations.

This might help. In the long awaited video, Mameshiba are creating a pitfall for Kuro-chan. I guess they were going to camouflage it and try to get him to fall into it. They dug the hole back in March then returned this month to inspect it (likely had to drop the whole thing when the pandemic hit). Over the past 3 months, the grass must have grown back over it somewhat. Since this is part one, I take it they haven't given up on trying to trick Kuro-chan.

Stan BiSH · Jun 26, 2020

BiSH in preparation for the release of their compilation album are doing some sort of mini throwback to each of their past eras

this ones are from FAKE METAL JACKET but there are more, one for each song (too many to post here)

the also are doing a special in their radio show "ATTACK OF THE KiLLER BiSH" were members are going to take turns speaking about every album

June 24, 2020 (Wednesday) 20:00-"Brand-new idol SHiT"
June 25, 2020 (Thursday) 20:00-"FAKE METAL JACKET"
June 28, 2020 (Sun) 20:00 ~ "KiLLER BiSH"
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 20:00 ~ "GiANT KiLLERS"
July 5, 2020 (Sun) 20:00 ~ "THE GUERRiLLA BiSH"
July 6, 2020 (Mon) 20 :00～ "CARROTS and STiCKS"

i think this is the first one

Stan BiSH · Jun 26, 2020

since there is not much to post i just remembered that Pour Lui group "PIGGS" just released a music video

i wonder if she regrets leaving wack? if i recall what started BiS2 was she leaving BiS

on the other hand she is still working for/with watanabe so... did she really left? :doge:

Stan BiSH · Jun 26, 2020

1000th post! :partydogo:

but too bad there is nothing interesting to post at this day :doge:

and i think this is the 4th thread by views and replies in the japan subforum, sure, it helps that the section is kinda dead...
still, this is bigger than the previous thread one at onehallyu :fab:
