IDOL SHREDDER

There Will Somehow Always Be More REGiNA KiSS Video for Us

/ Homicidol Maniac

My goodness, will REGiNA KiSS ever run out of songs to MV from the iDOL SHREDDER album? Survey says “not today!” It’s wild — I haven’t even posted every single one of them, and it seems like an an absolutely exhaustive months-long run of stuff. Where do they even get the cash to do it? I can relate, actually, because I also went through a good chunk of time spending every dollar as it came in and then treating myself to even more indulgence any time there was a hint of surplus. I call that time the Aughts!

You aren’t here for reminisces on my profligacy, though. You’re here for this!

Make Sure Not to Skip over This REGiNA KiSS Song

/ Homicidol Maniac

Goodness gracious, will REGiNA KiSS ever stop putting out videos for iDOL SHREDDER? They did say that they were going to be releasing an MV for every song on the album, IIRC, and at this rate they’re getting very close to that. Have mercy.

Anyway, I drooled a little over the last track that they videoed, but this one is the hands-down best and might top their entire catalog to date:

Start the New Year Right with REGiNA KiSS

/ Homicidol Maniac

I’m gratified, gang, to see that an increasingly long-term occasionally requited affection for emergingly premier idol+band project REGiNA KiSS is starting to bear fruit, and they’re getting (some more of) the attention that they deserve. Frankly, it’s a meme that I’d like to put to bed, forever, save for its usefulness at pointing how how, ha ha, look at the silly ignoramuses who are not yet on board with this never-not-good thing, and look at how smart I am for supporting them! It’s humblebragging of the most hipster-lite quality, and frankly I should be ashamed.

So: Hi, have you not been paying attention to the fact that REGiNA KiSS has been unaccountably killing it for, from our outside perspective with its own timeline and sense of scale, several months now? The release of iDOL SHREDDER promised a reckoning with the painfully obvious potential lurking around the band’s sound going back to when it was just idols, and there were more of them, and things were always good and never acknowledged enough except by the coterie of nerds (hi!) who gestured furiously at photos of REGiNA KiSS every time discussions about “what next” came up.

Here’s the latest: Continue reading →

The Last Two REGiNA KiSS Videos Demonstrate Why You Should Be Paying Attention

/ Homicidol Maniac

Okay, I think REGiNA KiSS is done with the IDOL SHREDDER promos now — it’s been almost a week since the last MV they put out — so let’s round back on the last two, which just so happen to be the best ones, and prove a lot of things but mostly just prove that you should be listening to this project because you’re ostensibly here because you like idols and loud music!

I’m actually sharing these in reverse chronology because that’s the best way to do a crescendo in this case. So first:

You Are Hereby Invited to More New REGiNA KiSS

/ Homicidol Maniac

I decided to hold on to the most recent REGiNA KiSS MV release for a few days, gang, because I knew — knew — that there’d be at least one another out before iDOL SHREDDER hits the shelves, and that patience was rewarded. You may want to familiarize yourself with the trailer for this album before diving in.

Here’s last week’s full MV entry:

Like, what even is this song? How many substances were in the video director’s system? If iwrestledabearonce had an idol equivalent, this would be it. Such glory. And I’m pleased to say that I’m very, very glad to have waited for the next installment before posting. Continue reading →

Here’s That Full REGiNA KiSS Album Trailer

/ Homicidol Maniac

After that first couple of videos, I didn’t reckon that we’d been getting a trailer for IDOL SHREDDER that’s practically the length of many groups’ EPs with almost three weeks left until the album drops, but I’m also not going to complain about a bigger, fuller, better look. Frankly, nobody should!

I don’t have the best track record when it comes to converting other humans to the charms of this very grown-up unit with a very grown-up orientation, but please do, friends, consider it. As “just” idols, REGiNA KiSS was in fact quite good; with the band behind the slightly retooled duo, they mix things up more frequently and take some interesting chances. I’d love for this to wind up on some major streaming services so that folks can get the experience in full.

You’ll Wish You Could Party with REGiNA KiSS

/ Homicidol Maniac

Hey! Are you aware of the fact that REGiNA KiSS is releasing an album, and that album is called IDOL SHREDDER, and that it is coming out next month? You should be, because you read the Weekender like a smart person should, and you saw the news! If that does not describe you, that’s fine, because now you are aware of the fact.

To prep for the incredibly named release, REGiNA KiSS dropped a a video last week, and while you can go ahead and give it a spin, you should know that there is in fact another one, and I have a feeling that things are afoot. Get started:

This one popped up yesterday: Continue reading →
