Good morning! Did everybody have a good week? Idol went and flexed good and hard on us, didn’t it? Plenty to enjoy. And now the inevitable break that, because I for once don’t have anything else to do and could maybe enjoy just bumming around the house a little bit, will surely be ruined by a string of awesome MVs and a graduation that’ll make your head spin. This week’s huge personal loss is Dots, of course. Still trying to process that one.
Let’s all do our best to do our least for a little bit this weekend, okay? Relax. Reflect. Appreciate that this is easily the most boring time of year, and you owe it to yourself to embrace that spirit. I mean, by all means play the Fun, an excellent entry by our most Supreme Nothing, but otherwise let the magic of the Weekender take you to a happy place.
Serenity Now!
WHAT HAPPENED TO CHIITI!

This is a nice clip from Alive to Rainy:
I see that Terry has done the ol’ reaction treatment for Maboroshi.no who will hereby be your introduction to what can only be described as “denska”:
C-Style vs. whatever the hell Chemical Reaction is doing now should be oodles of fun:
なんか凄いあっという間だけど、C-Styleは4月で6周年になる。
6周年GIGは復活させた木更津のライブハウス【OSSA!!】でやる‼️この日に来てくれるケミカル⇄リアクションはウチらの3周年の時にまさにここに来てくれた。深いよね。3年ぶりに木更津に殴り込みに来てくれっからみんなで迎え入れようゼ🇯🇵🔥 pic.twitter.com/HrXLNLRHBC— 八剱 咲羅@2/5 定期 上野音横丁 (@CS_sakura4649) February 8, 2019

There was actually a second new Party Rockets GT song the other day; I preferred to let the better one stand on its own:
I never get to cover Strawberry Painkiller anymore, so here’s Ichigo … doing karaoke?
霊柩車の馬車に乗って(地獄変)
浅き夢見し三途の川よ
神が編んだ世界を境に右を羽ばたく黄色い蝶
左に朽ちる彼岸の花弁
振り替える者
恐れること無かれ
ただ時間が
止まっただけだよあっちから聴こえる
こっちから聴こえる眠れない羊達
眼を綴じて、手を取って、踊りましょボイトレでした💋❣️ pic.twitter.com/5yoCjdWsB3

Live with I.D.And Fly LooM:
Idol in Focus
This week’s Idol in Focus is 143, who I’ve now started, stopped, deleted, started and forgotten about over the course of the week. It honestly doesn’t warrant a whole post for them, so … here’s a new song!
In seeking to flesh out this mini-feature, I find lyrics:

You are now aware of that!
Himari would like your questions:
I hope to study English again this year. So, this year, I am waiting for your English question. I will reply to this tweet your reply. Thank you for always giving me your kindness. I also stand on stage thinking of you.

This KINGRAGE live video was too tame to post about, shame:
These annual Screaming Sixties beach excursions seem fun:
僕らが秋田に行きたいって思った最初の動機は結成まもない頃に各地のライブに秋田からずっと来てくれてた奴がいたからなの。奴に報いる為に2周年記念ライブを突発で男鹿フェスの対岸の秋田の海でやったの。あれから2年半。今や秋田に驚く程たくさん仲間が出来た。たった一人の想いで世界は変わるんだ。 pic.twitter.com/JNJne8IPaQ

I continue to not understand this thing that Shiori does, but she sure does sing nice:
Have a great weekend!
This is what RABBITS Lab does now apparently, btw
That Last In My Cult EP is a welcome addition to my collection. I should note that international fans can get it cheaper at amazon.com ($5.99) or amazon.co.uk (4.95 GBP) than from the usual Japanese sources, given current exchange rates.
