So What Do You Think Is Coming in Idol in 2017?

It’s Kerrie time, amigos! She had a great idea the other day, so let’s run with it. Also, for all of the mirth she brought this year, go buy something from her. It’s still gift-giving season for some people!

Hi everyone! Have you been enjoying this holiday season so far? So far I’ve been spending mine eating my body weight in turkey and the combined weight of BRGH in sugary foods. Who would have guessed that Babymetal’s “Gimme Chocolate!!” was an appropriate holiday song?

Our friend Pukovnik Krv tipped me off last night that Twitter had suspended the accounts of pretty much every member of Kamen Joshi due to (tell me if this sounds familiar) “botspamming, botfollows and SEO hacking.”

Basically, according to Twitter, the tens of thousands of followers (and the almost automatic follow-backs in many cases) were nothing but a lie and in contravention of the terms of use. As of the minute that I’m pressing the Publish button, searching Twitter for Tachibana Anna or Kamiya Erina or Tsukino Moa or any other notable turns up nothing but mentions, no accounts.

Here’s Some Cool Video of Screaming Sixties Performing with Parallel Japan

Screaming Sixties have a date with Babymetal in the second round of the 2016 Homicidols Corenament. They should probably be taking it easy, not horsing around on stage with Parallel Japan!

And who are Parallel Japan? And why does everybody want to be photographed with them and stuff? STAY TUNED!
