I have to apologize for the lack of updates around here over the past week. Team is being pulled in about six different directions, and I’ve been caring for a sick cat which has me a bit stressed out. While that may not sound like the best excuse, she is a pretty awesome cat. Still, the idol world doesn’t stop spinning for any person or feline, so here’s some of what’s been going on:
Broken By The Scream is in the US right now! They performed last night and will be entertaining Katsucon in Washington DC all weekend.
America was great! I love it!!
Thank you!! pic.twitter.com/nPYuqlT887— Broken By The Scream (@BBTS_koushiki) February 18, 2023

I was able to see #2i2 on my recent visit to Tokyo. They put on a phenomenal show.
mzsrz are one of the more intriguing units out there. Their latest single has ten tracks. If you’re not sure how that works, go check it out. It’s also the theme song for a dorama.

Here’s mercuro live.
Let’s follow that with something a bit more upbeat, like -caeca-.
A couple of weeks ago, YABACUBE announced the formation of a couple of NSFW sister units for PLANCK STARS. Here’s how they’re shaping up:
First up, here’s their new co-ed unite, SUCK GALS Pr0N.
Next, it turns out JUGS MAFIA was appropriately named.

lyrical school has been reborn as an eight-member co-ed unit. minan is the only holdover from the previous system.
