We are now witnessing that rare conjunction that occurs only once every seven years where the Weekender and Christmas align to fall on the same day. So, Merry (or Happy) Christmas if you celebrate that kind of thing. Over in the Homicidols Discord Server, we’ve been collecting pics of idols in holiday cosplay so I snagged some of them and threw together a little X Mas e-card for everyone, just like Grandma used to make.
Happy Holidays and Merry Idol X-Mas Everybody!!

O’CHAWANZ has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Last Live of their current system. If they raise ¥5,000,000 (~$45,000) they will play a dinner show in Vegas, so save that Christmas pocket money from grandma and put it towards bringing O’CHAWANZ to Sin City!!

kinopo just got even more interesting.

C;ON is an idol unit where members no only sing and dance, but also have members that play the baritone, sax, violin and piano. They recently sat down for this cover of “Akaneiro no Yakusoku”.
To switch moods, how about some live POPPiNG EMO.
Or their (other) sister group, NAP.
Or enjoy some PARADISES, currently made up of GO TO THE BEDS members
Oshiloss Corner
Paipai Dekami‘s name is graduating too, she’ll now be known as Dekami-chan. R.I.P. to the idol who’s name was more or less equivilent to Tits McGee.
