Yufu Terashima’s second album will be released on 4/25 (my birthday!). It’s not awful or anything, though, and it might grow on me. There’s some really beautiful scenery in the PV, but the song definitely isn’t Perfume’s best.
It’s the theme for the movie Chihayafuru -musubi. Perfume released the short version of the PV for their new single Mugen Mirai on 2/27. – 1,237 (down)Ĥ4th: Keyakizaka46 – Masshiro na Mono wa Yogoshitaku Naru – 1,201 (up)Ĥ8th: Seiko Matsuda – Seiko Matsuda sweet days – 1,127 (up) Let’s get started!Ģnd: Tsubaki Factory – Teion Yakedo/Shunrenka/I Need You ~Yozora no Kanransha~ – 68,266 (NEW)ĥth: GANG PARADE – BREAKING THE ROAD – 25,038 (NEW)Ģ9th: SKE48 – Muishiki no Iro – 3,399 (down)ģ1st: NGT48 – Sekai wa Doko Made Aozora na no ka? – 3,271 (up)ģ2nd: Nogizaka46 – Itsuka Dekiru kara Kyou Dekiru – 3,192 (down)Ĥ5th: Fuwa Fuwa – Sakura Namiki – 1,468 (down)Ĥ6th: Zenryoku Shoujo R – Zenryoku Shoujo R!!!!!!!! 2 – 1,436 (NEW)ĥ0th: Momoiro Kakumei – Momo Revo Red Zone!/Million☆Journey$ – 1,320 (NEW)Ĩth: Tacoyaki Rainbow – Double Rainbow – 6,499 (NEW)ģ4th: Nogizaka46 – Boku Dake no Kimi ~Under Super Best~ – 1,380 (up)Ĥ0th: Morning Musume 20th – Hatachi no Morning Musume. I hope they start off doing more-or-less accessible punk songs and then devolve into some spectacular grind thing.I wasn’t as personally affected by the idol news this week as I was last, but there’s still been some pretty big announcements, especially for UK wota. And of Boss will be providing vocals as only a person who sounds like a chain-smoking trucker but hasn’t ever actually been a chain-smoking trucker can do. Like, a fighting tiny nigh-hairless dog that fits in a purse? Sounds about right. Knuckle Chihuahua! Or “Chiwawa” as they apparently would like for it to be spelled.* I don’t know what that is. I thought, this is a Weekender item and didn’t want to take it too seriously, but then I remembered how I’d have felt about this a couple of years ago and realized that, heck, this is the kind of thing that I’d have had kittens over not all that long ago, so let’s make a big-ass deal out of it! You may have seen, friends, that longstanding idol of terror Rei, aka BOSS, formerly of Guso Drop and now running BURST GIRL through her iron will, has a new project of the likes that really only she would have. And Saturday morning has us all seeing this for the first time: HOWEVER, whether it’s because BOSS idol-retired or because Waka’s back and has clothing to sell or even just because it’s 2020, the punk rockin’est of all punk rockin’ idol units has taken on a different character for this release. I’m not sure of the chronology because at least some of it pre-dates my de-cocooning myself, but if I were only to have heard the “Against the drain” track, I’d be like, oh how neat and cool that BURST GIRL has graduated to melodic easycore or, I dare say, lifting verse material straight from NOFX. With which I now segue to this weekend’s entry from BURST GIRL from their “story” record, which is … look, I took a few months off, came back, and nothing made sense anymore. ANYWAY, the point is, title only, not actual thing. The real bloodbath of graduations was last year, of course, though we’ve had our share. The year that is 2020 is a lot of things, and one of them definitely is a month-to-month competition to see how much worse the world can get (current trend: holding!), but what I refer to here is simply a narrative device, not an actual contest, unless your take on idol this year as well can be viewed through the same kind of lens.
