Dots! The most enigmatic project in idol, anywhere from five to nine girls doing what can only be described as music-based performance art, ostensibly idol but do they even buppan? Everybody’s name is ・!

Here’s a more recent performance of “Noise Suite” on a stage that looks like it’s in a lecture hall:

No brushing of teeth this time, nor confusing choreography, but the same beginning and end but with six members instead of seven, and now in total darkness to drive home the fact that the music in this case really is in the gaps, and the performance is what matters.

Dots, I love you so much. Please be my friends.
