Hey, it’s the return of the Friday Fun, currently running a reduced service every 52 or 53 Fridays. Here we are at the end of 2021 and I think it’s safe to say that collective optimism for the forthcoming year is possibly lower than it was twelve months ago. But we’ll always have idols so let’s entertain ourselves today by forecasting their actions over the forthcoming centi-century.
First though, let’s see just how psychic we all were this time last year:
Yes, 2020 has been a horrible year for many, and I’m sure I’m not the only one glad to see the end of it. But as I celebrate New Year’s Eve (New Year’s Day by the time you read this), something feels empty. It can’t be the enforced lockdown preventing any parties from happening, I never leave the house!
Oh, that’s right, normally I’d be reading all of your predictions for the coming year. But my silly unmotivated self killed the Friday Fun like 2020 killed everything else that kept me going! So, ah sod it, let’s bring back Friday Funs as a seasonal event. Starting with our traditional annual predictions!
But first, let’s look back on 2020’s predictions an analyse the absolute bitch that is hindsight:
Let’s take a look at the biggest style icons of last week.

This week is another fun where you need to climb into the mindset of an idol. Whether that be your oshi, or idols in general. For this week, you’re going to tweet like one! Better get that impersonation talent going because someone’s gonna have to fill the void if Kamiya Saki deletes twitter after her graduation today!
So, think like an idol, and then tweet like an idol, with the oh-so-original hashtag, #TweetLikeAnIdol.
I don’t know about you, but some of these idols somehow managed to look even cuter with facial hair.

Oh goodness peeps, our whole world has gone mad and we’ve lost minds right along with it. Last Friday you may recall that we did our regular “Friday Fun” stress-relief seeing by asking you, the always wise and level-headed public to give us some really bad Friday Fun ideas..
…the thing is, some bad Friday Fun ideas are bad enough to be kind of well, fun!

I like the #PeriodicTableOfIdol suggestion so I did it

And for some odd, compelling reason, I amused myself thinking about this one from AyuniDVa… Continue reading
Last week’s fun was the most active it’s been in a while! Thanks everyone!

Even the idols themselves (okay, one idol) accidentally got involved last week!

In a previous life in the 18th century, Yukkyun was an aristocratic French dandy, who brought about scandal to his wealthy family when it was revealed he was writing ribald poetry under the pseudonym “Bosom Beaupré”. He had no regrets. #IdolPastLives pic.twitter.com/rHuvu0wxpc

This week, we’re going to watch a load of music videos!
Specifically, we’re going to watch music videos, and take out anything that might seem bizarre, hilarious or concerning and share them without context!
Let’s face it, there are enough idol MVs out there that make no sense even with context. So this should be easy!
This week’s hashtag is #OutOfContextMVs!
Last time!

Last week was very pretty indeed.
Souto Para is not only super cute but has great makeup skills and can take the most beautiful selfies I've ever seen!
I think everyone should see her! #IdolIsBeautiful pic.twitter.com/IxhNGUSVG8

So I saw this on my twitter feed and got inspired.

Ingenius!
One of my very first Friday Funs was about alternative uses for idol penlights, as at the time I wanted one, but never imagined myself ever going to an idol gig anytime soon. 3 years later, I’ve been to my fair share of idol gigs, and have so many chekis I don’t quite know what to do with them all! Funny that!
So, tell me what I should do with my cheki collection (other than doing the obvious thing and buying a book to store them all in). Maybe they’d make nice drinks coasters? Or bookmarks? You always have better ideas!
This week’s hashtag is #AlternativeChekiUses, what do you do with your chekis?
