I have to stop and count the ‘mo’ every time
Anyway, obligatory “Codomomental should sue for royalties twice” joke, and then the video, followed by detail:
Well that’s fun! Continue reading

You Guys Down with Attain Music?
I never really know what to make of Attain Music, truth be told. Every time they’ve done something worth mentioning, I’ve mostly enjoyed it, but I’ll be gosh darned if they don’t make it a little bit difficult. I guess very deliberately doing “kawaii rock” will have that effect.
Anyway, this sweet little ditty was part of the massive media dump that happened on Friday (still digging out!), and I wanted to give Peri Ubu’s old group another chance to show off:
I want you to imagine Peritan in this video
Go Ahead and Get Stoked about HAMIDASYSTEM’s EP
You guys remember HAMIDASYSTEM, right? Because the few times that I’ve been able to share stuff about them, I’m all hype and giddy and you wonder what’s wrong with me even more than usual? Yeah? Okay great.
They’re putting out an EP, and of course that needs a lead track, and of course that means an actual MV instead of just live video, and I think you might dig it:
Thanks as always to Pure Idol Heart for being the guardian angel over us all
This New Track from Panda Mic Is Pretty Fun
Oh wow, do you guys remember Panda Mic? That very deliberately black and white junior idol quintet was like a little refresher of very poppy punk at a time when it seemed like idol was losing the uniquely well-suited-to-it style a little bit.
Well, they’re back, celebrating their anniversary with a new track available via OTOTOY:
OTOTOYからパンダみっくオリジナル曲「白黒イエスノー」が配信されました！
なんと！メンバー直筆歌詞データが付いたタイプも♪

I’m Indulging in These PiGU Videos Because
Good morning team! I’m going to tell you a little story: Yesterday, I was to return to Maniac Mansion after a fairly long trip away. Business! No big deal. But when I got to the airport to fly back, my flight was super delayed, meaning that I’d miss my connection, meaning that I needed different flights, meaning that I wasn’t going to be on the original timetable at all, and also meaning that what originally felt like a pretty accomplishable Thursday ahead was going to be a whole bunch of butt instead. Boo!
Fortunately, I remembered that PiGU had put out some additional pro-shot live video of some stuff that we’ve experienced recently, so I decided to just make a post about that because it made me feel a little better about being stuck in an airport way past the time when any human being who isn’t a Tom Hanks character should be.
Thank You, PiGU, for Your New MV
Speak and they shall come! I’d openly and occasionally loudly wondered where my typically much more prolific girls in PiGUs were hiding themselves ever since Rino’s graduation a couple of months ago, and Official basically said, we’re working on stuff, wait and see you jerk, just not in so many words. Then there was their Idol Matsuri entry, and this, and now:

I also love that little punk rock teddy bear thing. Please let’s keep that as a motif. Continue reading
PiGU’s Newest Song Is Gnarly as Hell
Okay. Guys. Raise your hand if you’re familiar with PiGU’s body of work to date. Good? Thanks. Pretty bouncy and fun overall, huh? Yeah, they mix it up a little bit, but they live up to their image. It’s a good time!
Now can a volunteer please explain this to me?
It’s a Crappy Day, So Have Some Party Rockets GT
Hey gang! It’s an awfully quiet Thursday, and I’m up to my eyeballs in little domestic and professional matters, so I’m a little out of touch. What I can offer you is a nice little dose of Party Rockets GT!
You may want to skip ahead a good bit to avoid the “START!” video on repeat
They’re doing these record store shows in the run-up to their one-man, is the thing, and I guess releasing all of these videos? Or something like that. Continue reading
Your Tuesday WTF Is Back to School
Good morning, gang! I was on the hunt for something genuinely weird and (in the eye of the beholder) wonderful, and a random pass through Twitter provided.
Naniwa Rokkasen! The Six Immortals of Poetry! I got a good kick out of this indie-ass project a while back, and they’d be a great candidate for Indie Idol Wednesday under normal circumstances, but, as soon as I saw this, I felt like I had exactly what the doctor ordered.
Those of you who got into Sakura Gakuin should remember the annual year-end exams for each class; much merriment is had, and many a charm point established! They’re good times. And now I’m wondering if that’s more common than I thought, or if somebody got a Mori-sensei jones and just had to indulge, but here’s Naniwa in their own exams:
PIIIIIIIN’s Farewell Looks Like It Must Have Been Pretty Fun
Ah, PIIIIIIIN, one of my favorite could-have-beens in idol. I had only just started to come around on them about a year ago, and thoroughly enjoyed their whole sound during my reluctant embrace of loud idols who weren’t necessarily heavy idols.
And then poof! Shortly after announcing that the fans would get to select the update to the membership, they announced instead that the group was disbanding.
I’m still hunting for video and will add if I find any, but at least here’s some awesome merch and photos and stuff. Continue reading
