Your Homicidols Weekender #293

/ DAEMON

I’m pretty sure that the Idol Fiscal Year starts on July 1st. Otherwise, it’s difficult to explain why every idol and their sister unit dropped a new release in the final days of June. I mean, new music is typically released on Tuesdays except for this week when on Wednesday and Thursday (June 29th and 30th) just about everybody rushed a new single or EP out the door. I can only assume that it must be for accounting purposes.

Whatever the reason, this Weekender is packed. Along with all the great new stuff, the transition from June to July has unfortunately brought us some pretty gut wrenching departures as well.

TRIGGER WARNING: this week’s Oshiloss Corner can fill a bathtub with wota tears.

It’s times like these that make me eternally grateful for Team and the crew over on the Homicidols Discord server.  It takes a village to keep up with everything happening in idol.

Broken By The Scream gives us a rare MV to tease their upcoming album being released on July 20th.

If you’ve got some remaining face to be melted off, the new EP from WAGAMAMA RAKIA can take of that for you.

If you’re like me, then your Twitter feed was turned NSFW this week as our favorite unit from Hiroshima, PLANCK STARS, plastered the internet with swim suit pics. They’ve immortalized the week in this MV.

Meanwhile our second favorite unit from Hiroshima, MELTY GHOST CLUB,  released a new single.

Garage punk BiS is one our favorite kinds.

Tokyo Psychopath continue their quest to inject as much insanity into idol as possible, and look good doing it.

Out of all the new music that dropped this week, the new EP from -odoro- got the most replays from me.  Spread it all over the world!

SIPP takes the punk party into disco territory.

New Zsasz. It’s zsasztastic! (I didn’t have to do that , but I did it anyway.)

Do I HAVE to call them METAMUSE? The idol-unit-formerly-know-as ZOC gave us two new MVs this week. I’m a sucker for emo ballads so I’m going with this one.

For those with an emo bias like me, On the Treat Super Season make a direct appeal with their new single.

We were talking about shoegaze idols on the Homicidols Discord server a few days ago and I forgot to mention solo project Cototoi. Luckily she dropped a new song to remind us.

Batten Girls hooked up with Sony for an ultra-high fidelity audio experience.
