ok that's enough for now (there are two post in the page before!)

as usual tons of good pictures and without lying those are mostly random pictures i found, there must best several thousands in the tags for the concert, my browser actually crashed trying to scroll down to the first ones

also the next day they did some sort of Q&A and some people has posted some of the answers they gave (there are pictures from the event too but too much spam for a single day)

also today is Midoriko's birthday!

semi off topic but Muropanako and Pan Luna's group just debuted


FwLDw4-XgAQIfaE




also is nice too see Muropanako in a group again, one of the reasons why the bond between the ex BiS2 members is still going strong to this day is because of her

also she went to see BiSH, i keep forgetting that Muropanako and Ayuni D are childhood friends

ok last ones, these are from the Q&A they held next day

some of the stuff they talked about

Mikina says that she trained her abs for the concert

they asked about their favorite part of their uniforms Now says that she likes how her jacket looks like the one of a biker, Maho likes her jacket too and points to how the black part of it can be removed (seems that all their uniforms can be "modified" on the go) Maho was the only of the members that was able to go to bed early the night before

they talked about how Yu-ki is a "rain woman" (supposedly it rains wherever she goes) proof of that is that it was raining during their Budokan concert, they also theorized the possibility of Now being a "blizzard woman" since apparently is the same thing as with Yu-ki but with snow

Midoriko didn't talked a lot but people loved her headband style, lots of fans say it looks cute (honestly it looks pretty good on her)

apparently Mayu cried after their concert and geography isn't Yu-ki's strong point since she says that she keep confusing some of Japan's prefectures with each other

and much more, i'm too lazy to scroll down the tweets again and also i forgot to bookmark them but all members answered multiples questions so the hashtag is worth checking

GANG PARADE's 2nd album "OUR PARADE" debuted at #1 both in Billboard and Oricon weekly album chart

it sold 35,397 copies on it's first week



Tomorrow is GP's CROSSROADS OF FATE concert

FwKD3UVaYAENRR8


these GP doodles are surprisingly good

FwUodNeagAA2dv1

FwUodNhacAAjPp6

FwUodNgagAAWv11



actually the style and behavior of the GP members does have some sort of anime-esque feeling going on, i wonder if it's because of that why people like Sushio and other artists are such big fans of the group?

also i love how when people does fan art of them the ex PARADISES members are always portrayed in a "realistic" way (or at least cute) while the ex GTTB look straight out of a cartoon

also pictures of Usagi Tsukino and Ca-non

yesterday was GANG PARADE's "CROSSROADS OF FATE" concert... and nothing happened

in perspective is weird how lately every time a WACK group announces a major event or concert we start to worry about if something bad is going to happen, i mean that isn't a coincidence since a lot of the stuff that happened during the last 12 months was influenced by the announcement of BiSH disbandment which was a big shock to everyone, the good news is that things should be calm from now on

in any case this was stated to be GANG PARADE's largest concert to date, i can't find information of how many people were in the audience (there was a report on TV but i can't find an upload) but we know that there were at least over 1,000+ people, BiSH and EMPiRE / ExWHYZ already cleared that milestone years ago but is always nice to see other WACK acts finally joined them



Fwam3JBaUAQLyIS


they did announce their new tour「TRICK OR SMILE TOUR」



they also did other announcements but nothing major, i do have to say that the new uniforms feel like a downgrade from the previous one

FwavZMAakAAfprC


also Dockson is going to release a Zine「Dockson's Ramen Book」



she has been publishing a ramen column for over 5 years, according to the announcement the Zine is going to include talk about ramen, ramen gravure (?) and ramen manga, a popular ramen Youtuber "SUSURU" with over 1 million subscribers is going to publish an interview with Dockson about her book

speaking of ramen manga, a few years ago i read one called "ramen daisuki koizumi san" seems it even good an anime and a TV drama, honestly i don't recall if it was good or what

also apparently some members of WACK founded the "Dogenzaka Ramen Club" the members are Dockson, Nao, Coco and Namaenai

FweknCaagAANXzQ


i knew that she have a ramen column but wasn't aware that it has been running for half a decade

you know what would be cool? a book about Yuyu love for movies, she has been publishing a movie review series for a few years already, since she is a huge (unironically) Kino connoisseur i think it could be interesting

also Mayu has been publishing a weekly bento review series since 2018, that also would be a good idea for a book

on the 29th ExWHYZ are going to post 4 videos from their Budokan concert!





i'm not surprised they had a team recording the concert, is very likely that is going to also get a Blu Ray release

TV Asahi's ANN news did a report about their Budokan concert





once again they also confirmed an attendance of over 7k+ / 7,000+ fans in the audience, the report also has some nice footage from the concert so worth checking,

and a few more articles from the concert by other sites

more translations of EMPiRE's songs









(btw it's been almost a year since they "disbanded")


and ExWHYZ are going to guest on AYAKARNIVAL 2023




is an idol festival by Ayaka from the idol group MOMOIRO CLOVER Z, EMPiRE guested om all previous versions so it's nice to see ExWHYZ getting invited too

btw Yuki Kashiwagi was also invited, too bad that they are going to guest on different days otherwise it would have been nice to see a live version of "Jikan ga Tarinai"





-

another campaign from COLORR GENERATION featuring MAMESHIBA



-

during the next weeks TONAi BOUSHO are going to post behind the scenes from their single "TONAi's GiRLS" with each one being focused on a different member

first one was Kino





btw this song is good, sure is one of WACK's less WACK-like songs ever but i think is pretty decent

Miku from TONAi BOUSHO announced a hiatus from the group due to chronic illness



she plans to come back to the group when she is better but for now TB plans to continue as 2 member group

-

it's been a while since i checked Watanabe's Twitter, i wonder what's he is up to?



so the usual :doge:

-





also tomorrow both ExWHYZ and GANG PARADE are going to appear on UPRISINGTOKYO which is Asia's largest skateboarding festival, convention and competition, both groups are going to perform but also some of the members are going to take part on some other activities



Mayu is going to hold a live stream of her visiting multiples stores and venues from the event and Now and Yu-ki + Usagi Tsukino and Potential are going do take part on a finger skateboard competition (ExWHYZ vs GP?) the event is also going to be live stream



also Usagi Tsukino is worried because


(GANGPARE and ExWHYZ huh... I wonder what the weather will be like...)

long story short she heard stories about how Yu-ki is a rain woman / Ame Onna (it has been documented that it rains in the places where she appears in public) and also heard of recent theories by professor Mayu about Now being a Snow Woman / Yuki Onna (same stuff as Yu-ki but with snow)

the thing is that GANG PARADE are a self proclaimed group of Sunny Women / Hare Onna so one can only speculate about the strange weather phenomena Japan is about to experience tomorrow :sweat:

i didn't watched the stream and doesn't seem anyone bothered recording it, i only found some smalls clips here and there

the ExWHYZ and GP members were actually competing against each other



not sure who won but Now was given the MVP award



-

TONAi BOUSHO are posting behind the scenes from the music video of "TONAi's GiRLS" with each one being focused on a different member

first one was Kino, second is Izuki





I've watched their MVs multiple times but i actually don't know the names of the TB members so i have to look them up on the WACK wiki

-

BiSH are on the cover of ROCKIN'ON JAPAN

FxWk_kBaYAAnVcd




they did a 3 hour long interview with the members, the magazine is going to include a 40 pages long feature including their interview

times flies, BiSH are going to disband on June 29 so there is just 1 month left with them

EMPiRE disbanded 1 year ago



EMPiRE were really, really good so i was sad and angry when their disbandment was announced without any stated reason or previous notice, personally i like them as much as i like BiSH so i hated the idea of both of them just disappearing

thankfully days later it was revealed that they moved labels are were now called ExWHYZ, the later which was a reboot more than anything else

i like ExWHYZ a lot, despite the strange name i feel that everything there was to love from EMPiRE still exist in ExWHYZ

actually i think some of the concerns about them was due to "Wanna Dance", don't get me wrong i do like the song but it was pretty different from EMPiRE's works, i know that many fans thought "is this going to be the group's direction?" of course after hearing the other songs of the album it became clear that WD was an outlier and that the new group wasn't going to take such a huge departure from what they were doing before

fucking MONDO GROSSO :doge: i like his songs but let's be honest he doesn't produce music for artists instead he has artists perform his songs

anyway i haven't commented my opinions on xANADU, is a really good album and is ExWHYZ's best work so far, definitely worthy to be put on the same level as EMPiRE's albums (i think i would put the re release of "xYZ" there too although the original version of the album that didn't had Midoriko would be ranked a little below their other albums)

so i was wondering why they held their Budokan concert so early since we were still months away from their first anniversary, the members stated that it was important for them to prove themselves as ExWHYZ so it definitely wasn't a coincidence that it was schedule before the anniversary of EMPiRE's disbandment

speaking of the Budokan concert, i'm glad they didn't had Ayuni D or "EMPiRE" guesting on the concert, while it would had been fun it would had taken away from the accomplishment, this was their largest concert so far even bigger than EMPiRE's biggest concert, so is cool knowing that 7,000+ people came to the venue because they wanted to see ExWHYZ

more than anything i would say that isn't EMPiRE or ExWHYZ what people like but instead is the members themselves the reason why fans fell in love with these groups, personally i wouldn't be interested in a EMPiRE that has a line that is not composed of Now, Mikina, Mayu, Maho, Midoriko and Yu-ki, virtually all of the image and concept of EMPiRE was due to the members, for example starting in 2019 all their songs were written and choreograph by them, from how they interacted with fans to how they promoted the group, etc it was all influenced by the members, safe to say that if EMPiRE had a different line up then it would had been a different group

anyway after their Budokan concert i noticed a shift in the mood of the members, i still recall that just a few months ago they still used to make fun of their new name but now they are proud to be ExWHYZ, looking forward to what ExWHYZ has planned next!

BiSH's themed NFTs were the top selling collection in Japan, is valued at 61 Eth or $115,473 dollars

worth mention that the BiSH members had nothing to do with it and they didn't even bother to promote them, this was Watanabe's idea because he wanted to experiment with NFTs and he couldn't find a better time to try



i think they were posted like 30 pages ago or whatever but the NFTs of BiSH were some pixel art i think of BBS?

also 3 members of BiS tested positive for covid so they are canceling some of their following performances
