I saw this the other day when Jul RTed it:

CHICKEN BLOW THE IDOL

— DAICHI君 (@DAICHI_AMR) December 5, 2017

Without any context, I thought it was a funny thing that would go into the Weekender, and then I’d back off and continue to wonder if Daichi were secretly seething about BURST GIRLS and throwing epic shade or something. OH BUT NO!

No, friends, Daichi’s back in the idol game. One could have surmised that when he didn’t cut ties with HIMEGOTO ZETTAICHI during the A-minor blowup, but he tried very hard to make it sound like he wasn’t doing this anymore. Contrary to that, he’s now making it sound like this might be the kind of project through which he can scratch his creative itches while sticking with idol, which is either clearly something that I enjoyed more than he thought he did, or a more viable path forward from a business perspective.

来年は姫事絶対値@himegotozettai とCHICKEN BLOW THE IDOL @CHICKEBLO_IDOL 以外楽曲提供やめまーす。

うまくいけば2018年3月頃にデビューします。インディーズでチェキはマストってわかってますがチェキは販売しません。でもチェキやカメラ持ってきてもらえれば物販時間許される限り無料で撮影します。交流、サインは券販売します。「音楽」を真剣にします。
そんなインディーズアイドルです。#チキブロ

Hoping for a March debut! That’s good. Two members. Not doing cheki, apparently, and the debut will be free, because Daichi. They’re going to make very little money, but they’ll probably be loads of fun while they get there!
