Thanks, Lee!
OH HELL YES. They’re so new! Only that last one even has other idols I know following her. Does anybody recognize any of these members from other projects? I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET THEM!
“But Maniac,” you ask, a little confused and possibly exasperated because why am I yelling anyway, “I don’t understand what’s the big deal. It’s not like they’re–”
Lemme stop you right there, Convenient Strawman. Do you want to know why 969 coming back to life excites me?
Because if that comeback winds up anything like this stuff, we’re in for a hell of a treat:
969, I love you. Keep doing what you do so well. Keep doing it forever.
*still waiting for Haruka’s new recorder-Idol group..*
I love original 969, hoping new 969 is good too. Any of the original girls coming back? There versions of “Creep” & “Senbonsakura” were awesome!
Nope, these four are all completely fresh, at least to 969. One of the old members is in Aphrodite now, and another’s in Broken by the Scream.
I so want to be that guy and say “No Yumeneko, No 969” but it’s actually pretty cool that they’re back. I’m down with it.
Has Yume even debuted with Aphrodite yet? That girl’s too good at this stuff to not be a star.
(I’ll allow that the risk of this being a pale shadow of the original is there.)
She has and I must say she looks fantastic in her costume. You’re right about her being too good to not be a star. I mean any idol who can play & sing the bridge to “Creep” by Radiohead so awesome as she did and look cute and also wear cat ears while doing it has real quality talent.
