Your Homicidols Weekender #339

/ DAEMON

Last weekend, I had a great time in LA seeing the US debut of CHICKEN BLOW THE IDOL. It was a great show and they put it all on stage through two performances. Even with kids and obachans in the audience, they performed some of the hardest core stuff. There were also a couple buppan session so there was a chance to get to  know the members a bit. It turns out that Ruko is practically fluent in English so we were able to chat. She told me that she had actually read the Homicidols piece I wrote about them. She didn’t say whether or not she liked it, but she did read it, and that was enough to make my week.

Chikeblo weren’t the only unit traveling overseas this week. THE DEVILS KILLING MERRY-GO-ROUND made their international debut in Sweden at Kodachicon.

In future overseas live news, Isiliel announced her tour dates.

For the rest of what happened this week, let’s start with Cinder-ella who, I think, put out the best new song this week. The single officially drops on Monday.

It’s NEO JAPONISM in “Idols vs. Guns.” (Spoiler: Idols win.)

We do not deserve RAY.

MAD JAMIE’s new tunes are hitting streaming services.

ATARASHII GAKKO! had a HUUUGE week! First they went viral on TikTok and even Twice  got in on it with a dance cover of “Otana Blue”. Then Suzuka went viral again after trading glasses with Yama-chan on a TV show. Finally, and of most importance to us, it was revealed that their latest single was composed by WACK’s former house maestro, Kenta Matsukuma. 

CYCLONISTA are on fire.

This is interesting: Over on the Homicidols Discord server, Ziensa made us aware of this new units called BR!OT which is short for Brat Riot Girls. They have released two songs so far and they are both in English.

I can watch NELN sing in their living room all day.

TOKYO Tefutefu released their 4th single.

This new unit, AFTERS has been teasing us for a few weeks now. They debut next month but I may die of curiosity before then.

I could have sworn BiSH was going to break up at some point but they’re still going and going.
