Sheer Madness: NECRONOMIDOL Graduation Turns Into All-Star Reunion

/ DAEMON

My apologies for the lateness of this article, but I am still picking up the pieces of my shattered mind.

There was nothing to prepare us back in March when Rei, Michelle and Okaki, the last remaining original member of NECRONOMIDOL, announced their departure from the group. Just as there was nothing to prepare us for the blight that has since afflicted the entire world, driving us into our homes, delaying the three members’ graduation show and, meanwhile, wholly transforming the way idol lives are both performed and delivered. 

This past Saturday night, Rei Imaizumi, Kakizaki Rizaki and Michelle were finally able to hold their long-delayed graduation live to both an in-person and streaming audience.

Song of the Summer Nominations, 2020

/ DAEMON

Every year, enduring songs emerge that collectively define the summer months. They are the infectious tunes that serve as the backing music for the few brief months between school years, or the soundtrack of unforgettable vacations. Summer is often a transitional time of new experiences and transformation. The accompanying music will later inspire nostalgia for a specific point in time when everything changed.

On the verge of an unprecedented summer time, more than ever, we have no idea what the season may bring. Team Homicidols is here to help eliminate the uncertainty in one area at least: filling out your summer playlist.

Your Homicidols Weekender #186

/ DAEMON / 1 Comment

2020 decided that we needed some civil unrest on top of our pandemic and the global music industry reponded with #theshowmustbepaused. The effects seemed to trickle down even into the chika idol world. There seemed to be fewer releases this week than normal, but the roster of livestream performances this weekend is still pretty robust.  Either way, we’ve survived another crap week in 2020 so here’s your truncated weekender, curfew-with-your-quarantine edition.

BURST GIRL with a cautionary tale about raising the dead.
