Haven’t done one of these in a while! In an earlier era, it was commonplace ’round these parts to do video digests from big events — TIF in particular, but @JAM and Idol Koushien and things too — to help folks get better acquainted with names that they may have encountered, or expose theretofore unknown idols to new audiences — and I got away from it because it increasingly seemed like people were coming in with a little more knowledge and a lot more of an idea of what they’re looking for.
Nonetheless, partly because Gyu-no Fes was the first big idol event that I encountered in the first few months of Homicidols.com, and partly because I’ve always appreciated it, and even more partly because it’s just really good and cool, here’s a whole mess of video from over the weekend:
Yanakoto Sotto Mute
Plus new “Louvre no sora” at 10:58 or so
BURST GIRL
GANG PARADE
Koutei Camera Girl Drei
CY8ER
MIGMA SHELTER
Maison Book Girl
sora tob sakana
Philosophy no Dance
RHYMBERRY
BiS
Kaishin no Ichigeki
amiinA
tipToe
le biglemoi
THE BANANA MONKEYS
NaNoMoRaL
PiGU
I don’t think that’s exhaustive, but it’s a pretty good list of stuff! If you see names that you aren’t familiar with, consider them a good chance to learn more.
My absolutely favorite place for seeing idols.
4-6 stages very close together, the only real downside to it is that the meet and greet area is in really cramped.
Many good memories, I saw Yanakoto Sotto Mute there before they even released their first cd and got a cheki with Nadeshiko, also saw Alloy back in their original lineup – Momoko is the last of the original and she’s graduating at the end of May 🙁
Also one bad memory, I fell on my face and went to the hospital, stay away from Strong Zero.
Always nice seeing tipToe. stuff on here, btw sound on CY8ER bit messy eh?
Yeah, I thought a lot of the sound quality was butt. I didn’t include this one video of DAIDAIDAI, but the music is barely audible.
I take my eye off Migma Shelter for one second and my damn oshi graduates. This was after I already had to hot-switch when Yoneko (everyone’s oshi) left us for weirder pastures. Should I default to Popopopo, thus dooming her career?
Man, you should probably just give up on idol.
