i was wondering why all the ex gang parade members were shilling this show :doge:

EU7fFzMUYAAYcon


the reason is that Naruhaworld (PARADISES) is on a drama on abematv called "今日、好きになりました"


this is good for paradises, since the group is made out of the "Novice" members of gang parade i hope this helps their popularity

any idea why this videos of BiSH talking with each other have hundred of thousands of views despite not being official uploads?






they update almost daily and almost every video has 100k views

there is another channel for EMPiRE








i haven't check if the other groups also have theirs but pretty sure this are fan accounts

GP really hasn't be out for that long unless you count pla2me but probably warner wanted a "fresh group", i think that instead of new groups they should be just sub units of the main group

at this point i don't even think saki's graduation concert is going to happen, i also just don't see this arrangement lasting for long



yeah i'm not really a fan of crowdfunding projects but i give them a pass here,

the problem this time is that wack can't pay salaries for much longer (35+ members + 20 staff members... that's a lot) because they aren't working, other companies have other business to make money but for wack concerts are their main source of income, so they are in a tough spot

they set a 5,000,000 yen goal (roughly $50,000 dollars)

some of the perks:

Platinum card that gives you privilege seating and gives you priority on fan events lines, it last for a year
first row tickets for this specific concert
lunch with watanabe
a limited edition hoodie/t shirt
thank you message from wack members


Message from watanabe:


This is WACK's first crowdfunding. I don't know if this crowdfunding is good or bad.
However, as with ourselves, the performances of our colleagues have been discontinued one after another, we heard the painful screams of our colleagues, and I myself asked myself what I should do to protect the artists belonging to our company In the current situation that I do not know when it will end, I felt that my face was raised a little by launching this project.
Being able to revenge and schedule in August was my hope to live. I'm glad if you can make the next schedule together with everyone here. Please participate if you like.



long story short they were asking for 5 million yen/50k dollars, currently they already got over 38 million yen,
that's more than $350,000 or a 1/3 of a million dollars and they still have 50 more days to go :omgwhat:


Pop changed their name to Gang Parade in the summer of 2016, so they've been around almost 4 yrs. That's a pretty long time in the Idol world. I agree with just making the new groups sub-units under the GP banner. This way they could keep adding more members and sort them into their own little gang. Do it 48G style and have them all come together for the title track, but have each gang unit record the b-sides.

You bring up a good point. I didn't think about all the staff that Watanabe has to keep paying in addition to the group members. I know this is an extreme situation, but I remember when Watanabe went on a hiring spree and I thought he was expanding a bit too fast. BiSH is the only super successful group and it's hard to justify adding so many new ones. I think he should have been more cautious and kept the groups limited to 4: BiSH, BiS, GP, and EMPiRE. Then when BiS disbanded, instead of bringing in another Generation, put it on the shelf for a while and create CARRY LOOSE as a replacement.

I even question the existence of WAgg when applicants who make it to the end of the Training Camp can be immediately added to one of he existing groups. I think a better idea would be to automatically add Training Camp finalists to WAgg. Then a year later at the next Training Camp, they reveal which WAgg members will join an existing group. Allow fans to follow their progress over the year so they can route for their favs to get added. Just rinse and repeat.

With all this being said, that's fantastic that they've raised so much money already! I imagine some companies won't survive the crisis without live events, but WACK should be able to weather the storm with this kind of support.

Mameshiba no taigun just released the Episode #5





is the part 2 of the previous ep


They have the best thumbnails for their videos :ROFLMAO:

I'm not aware of this being a thing. It might be a completely new trend. I'll have to look into it sometime.

I translated all the punishments from the chart on Mameshiba's variety show. I couldn't find a good pic of the chart, so I tried to list them in the order they were shown.

"Mameshiba Variety Show Punishment Board"

デスソース (Death Sauce) センブリ茶 (Senburi Tea) パンスト被り (Pantyhose Wearing)

顔面洗バサミ (Face Scissors) ゲテモノ食い (Getemono Taberu) コンビニダッシュ (Konbini Dash)

足つぼ大丈夫サンライズ (Ashitsubo Daijoubu Sunrise) メンバーの嫌なところ暴露 (Exposing the members dislikes)

クロちゃんの口臭 (Kuro-chan's Bad Breath)

- Death Sauce is made by the US company "Blair's Sauces and Snacks" and frequently served at the Wack Training Camp. It's insanely hot.

- Senburi is also known as "Swertia Japonica", an extract is an extract from the Swertia Japonica plant native to Japan. It has been recognized for centuries as promoting long life, strength and wisdom. It has a very bitter taste and is said to be the most bitter crude drug (herb).

- Pantyhose Wearing is self explanatory.

- Face Scissors is when they put the close pins on their faces and had them pulled off.

EVANkDYUYAAhB1s.jpg:small

- Getemono refers to something that is generally unpleasant to eat like reptiles and amphibians. This is where the grasshoppers came in.

EVAtbZOVAAEuN1x.jpg:small

- Konbini Dash (Convenience Store Dash) is pretty self explanatory, but I think there's more to it. As far as the show is concerned, it looks like whoever is last has to buy the other girls something. Sounded like they wanted Haagen-Dazs. Konbini Dash is also a hashtag on twitter, but I can't find a good explanation. It's usually connected to video games like the super hot Dragon Egg mobile game. I might be really simple like you really need something, so you have to make a quick run to the store.

- Ashitsubo Daijobu Sunrise (Acupressure Daijoubu Sunrise). Based on other variety shows, I'm guessing that the members would have to sing the song while getting an acupressure treatment on their feet. Depending on which points on the foot are pressed, it can be quite painful.

- Exposing the members dislikes isn't specific, so I don't know how they would approach this. Would they talk about general things they dislike or things within the group.

- Kuro-Chan's Bad Breath: So, that concoction they made a couple episodes ago where they recreated Kuro-chan's bad breath...yeah they're reusing it here. The usage is self explanatory. They're so efficient on this show. They should find more uses for it, lol.
