GANG PARADE「Sparkling Moon」Music Video​





3 things!

their double single Good Luck My Future / Sparkling Moon debuted at #1 in the oricon daily single chart!



the song was picked as the theme song of the drama? series? Wakako Zake


also you can think of Sparkling Moon as the sequel to SUPER PARTY PEOPLE (GANG PARADE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE :sanapray:)

ExWHYZ / ドラマ【TOUR2024 'HOPE' Final at Zepp DiverCity 20241227】​





nice "Drama" was one of my favorite songs from their EP Sweet&Sour always nice to listen to it

speaking of sweet and sour things this performance fits well into that title! they were playing pictures from not only their days as EMPiRE but also of now and midoriko, they were close and even when they left were still on goods terms with each other so is really sweet they acknowledged their time together, "HOPE" was a farewell to that time and the start of a new era for them as a group

nice to see how lately all members are in high spirits like maho just pulling a sideflip from nowhere in the middle of a song lol

love mayu "did you all see that!?" face

also my exact reaction

anyway looking forward to 2025, they already announced a new nationwide tour and we are getting new music very soon!

speaking of Seiko and ex WACK people she is the producer of the new girl group THE PINK MINDS, Scrambles is in charge of their music






they are somehow even lower budget than LiVS but have better music, i don't recognize a single member from anywhere but so far the songs have been decent

really if you took LiVS members, gave them BiTE A SHOCK's budget and have Kenta write their music you would be really close to having an actual BiSH 2.0

about to start!


seems BiS are going to perform too so (not sure if their final concert is going to be live streamed) this is going to be likely the last chance to see them live

goodbye BiS3!



5 and a half years, longest running generation of BiS

in perspective is shocking right? sure we had disbandings during that time (CL, Boysgroup, TONAi BOUSHO) but this is more in line with BiSH's disbandment than the others since they were among the big names in the company, really another chapter closed today, i have to say that while the 2nd gen is still my favorite i really enjoyed 3rd too specially with the original line up, the new members are great too but never felt the same attachment to the group as i did during the Toggy / Teebu / Neo / Chantmonkee era

no idea what is going to happen to the members but there is still another event tomorrow, despite the group being no more, we may get some announcements about what is going to happen to them i do think is very unlikely any is going to remain in the company but who knows, in any case were are going to know very soon

btw Watanabe says there are no plans for a 4th gen at the moment (which is expected since the 3rd's corpse is still warm) i'm sure eventually there is going to be another

the writers of Skream! posted their "best of" end year list


they picked ExWHYZ as their best artist of 2024

and speaking of ExWHYZ they put "Sweet&Sour" as the #2 best release of 2024 (Ayuni D / PEDRO's "Iji To Hikari" at #4)

in best songs they put GANG PARADE's Pashiongira at #8 (and a collab of Yamamachi Miki at #4)

Yu-ki's favorite idol group

Ca-non's favorite pose

unironically that's actually interesting stuff, hope they keep doing it and that watanabe's doesn't forget about it

You can really tell the difference between the control of the three veterans and the three newbies

the ExWHYZ members don't get many opportunities to be silly but they sure enjoy every chance they get

i think this year is the first time we are getting fan cams for every single performance, at least i don't recall seeing many last year

we finally got an update on the ex BiS members, all of them are leaving the company but were allowed to keep their SNS accounts, they say they are going to continue posting in them

Nano also posted a message but her was that she was going to delete her account today, mostly just saying goodbye and her account is gone already

i really don't get how it works, some ex members are allowed to keep theirs and others don't although i imagine it may be related to the members themselves, they probably can request to keep it? in any case seems we are going to be getting news about some of them in the future

the first date of the current wack tour was this week

GiI6uskbwAAM6Zl


first were ExWHYZ x ASP, they covered each other songs and there are fan cams of both

ExWHYZ covered SAKEBE




ASP covered BLAZE




both are good picks, i'm glad ASP pick this one since i really enjoyed their cover wouldn't mind if the other groups pick it too as their ExWHYZ cover

BiSH are going to release a new photobook!



nothing new just a compilation of old unreleased pictures from around the time they disbanded that said still nice to see stuff related about them being release, this year is the group 10th anniversary so they may do something for it? i don't think a group reunion since they disbanded not that long ago but may something with the members

i noticed that in the company tour promotional pictures MAMESHiBA still appear as MONSTERIDOL, well Watanabe said he had no idea about the change but i'm surprised no one accounted for it

although i guess anyone that is attending the company tour should know anyway
