Here we are again, at out weekly capstone of alt-idol happenings. The big news this week came in the form of some major departure announcements which are tucked down in the Oshiloss Corner where they, hopefully, won’t hurt anybody too bad.
Stateside, we have two big idol live events happening this weekend. If you are anywhere near Houston, Texas, be sure to hit OniCon today to meet up with SENANAN and check out a mini-BURST GIRL reunion with Rinchama and Miyako.

Today is also the final live of Isiel’s Moonbow Gathering tour of the US. Anime Expo Chibi is sold out, so I hope anyone in the LA area who wanted to catch this gig already snagged a ticket.

For anyone who is lucky enough to attend either of these events, please post lots of stuff on Twitter (before it goes bankrupt) or over on the Homicidols’ Discord server so the rest of us can live through you vicariously. In the meantime, here’s a bunch of new stuff that dropped this week:
MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN always has to put out at least one epic ballad a year. Here’s the entry for 2022.
NaNoMoRaL is still one of the best things ever.
I to U $CREAMing were into swing before it was cool.
LiLii Kaona released a BluRay to remind us what we have lost.
THE ORCHESTRA TOKYO dabble in pirate punk. Have I mentioned before how much I love THE ORCHESTRA TOKYO?

Oshiloss Corner
Risaki Kakizaki is leaving MANACLE and taking a break from show business effective December 31st.
突然のお知らせとなり申し訳ありません!
年内をもってMANACLEを脱退します。
たくさん考えた結果です。
今まで色んな選択をしてきたはずなのに、不思議とこれが初めて「自分の意思で決断した」もののような気がしています。
水曜日の緊急イベントで話します!
最後までよろしくお願いします! https://t.co/DwWKyRSge5— 柿崎李咲 MANACLE (@kakizk_MANACLE) November 8, 2022

N・Feni got signed to a major label but is still playing on the streets.
> Shizuku Fufu got fu-fu-fired from Zenbu Kimi no Sei da.
She’s not fired, she left on her own.
She said in her new Twitter account that she herself terminated the contract through a lawyer.

There was a similar reason for Yamakomaro’s departure as well, but then she also clarified that she was leaving for personal reasons and didn’t violate anything.
