Your Homicidols Weekender #318

/ DAEMON

It is your Idol X-Mas Eve version of the Weekender. Tonight we will be visited by the ghosts of idol past, present and future and learn the true meaning of Idol X-Mas ( Spoiler: the lesson is, All things, including idol , are transitory and ephemeral, so be sure to live in the present and buy idol merch whenever you have the opportunity because the chance to own a cheki of your oshi in Kiki’s Delivery Service cosplay may happen just this once and never again).

Speaking of ghosts, I am still recovering from last weekend’s trip to Los Angeles for 14th Generation Toilet Hanako-San’s Return to Hell live at The Smell. It was a great show by our favorite youkai idol, and very well attended. Even Eloise of the Linda Lindas was there. We were graciously afforded the opportunity to interview Hanako-san the night before the show, so look for that to be posted soon. 

In the meantime, get your nominations in for Homicidols Best of the Year, 2022. Now, here are some potential nominees for next year:

Their debut is scheduled for January 20th.

Boss Rei , Yurapico , Saki, and Anna held a private Guso Drop reunion.
