I’m basically just ganking stuff off of Pure Idol Heart left and right anymore, and credit again goes there. Here’s Hanako-san, an absolute terror of a human being, doing her thing like only she can:
New people, welcome to the idol metal underground; out and visible are highly technical genre-mashing Babymetal or thrashy elegant Fruitpochette or creatively blackened NECRONOMIDOL, among others, but nobody can match Hanako-san’s raw fury. She’s dirty, profane, violent. Like idol’s GG Allin, minus the poop. Which, considering that she’s the ghost of a girl who died in a school restroom, is kind of ironic.
I badly want Hanako-san’s new album. Yes, to review it, but also because I want to be able to say that I own one of the most absurd things imaginable. I can’t think of another idol, ever, doing grindcore.
Meh… Pikarin > Hanako
Wow. That’s one hot take!
Just accept it lol… Btw., who beat who in the Corenament? Can’t remember.
Neither, IIRC. The solo thing was really weird, and Psybou Kanojo won by a decent margin, and then Yuki quit like the next day and I didn’t feel right putting whichever solo was second (probably Pikarin) into the thing when she had all of like 10 votes to the much larger number that poor Guso Drop had but couldn’t crack the idolcore field.
I’m going to make a big deal out of this, btw.
Oh damn, I think I hide somewhere for a while…
Well, it was boring until the 3min mark, then the music became more appealing, cuz, I’ve been told, I find any idol music with screaming in, appealing. Anyway, it was also pointed out to me how weak the crowd were having to wear plastic sheets to protect them from her water spray. Weak, especially since she’d throwed them bog roll beforehand they could use to dry themselves. It always seems the solo idols who tend to resort to this more wacky behaviour to gain attention etc.
I didn’t care about her, until I heard the X-Japan Cover, which was freaking amazing. Love her version of Kurenai!
No joke, the first five times I looked at video of her doing her thing, I just did not get it. And then the songs started to stand out more and … yep. You got it.
