It’s been another busy week in Idol, but it’s about to get busier!
This weekender is, once again, put together by trustee procrastinator Papermaiden, because our overlord Daemon is busy doing what he should do, having fun with Tokyo Psychopath this weekend! On that note, if you are at Saboten Con, come meet us (him)! He is giving the Killer Side of Idol panel on Saturday, September 2 at 11:30.
A rare chance to discuss idols in person!
We will be hosting an after-hours panel at Saboten Con this Saturday so drop by and let’s chat about chika idols in the middle of the night. #homicidols #sabotencon23 pic.twitter.com/uXGNQPZets

US idol fans won’t be resting anytime soon, as Passcode lands stateside right after Saboten Con wraps up. Asia Pacific Art has conducted an interview with them!

Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da. has finally released details about the Blu-ray for their Budokan show. As it is being crowdfunded, only a limited number of them will be produced, it seems. Thankfully, by the time of writing this, they already reached their goal and thus, it will see the light of day!

If you’d like to back it, but don’t live in Japan, I put together a short and sweet guide here:
How to back the Zenkimi Blu-ray from overseas!
Campfire accepts Paypal (which is rare in Japan), so that makes it easy to provide the payment. That's usually the biggest hurdle.
You'll also need a proxy/forwarding address in Japan for them to send the rewards to. (Continued↓) https://t.co/QXQ5JmMH7P— Papermaiden 🎀🫁✂️ ※ライブ休止※ (@Chibihoshi) August 30, 2023
And, as the latest update to this ongoing saga, Megumi has tweeted in English that she’d like to make sure oversea fans can also somehow back the project despite not being able to input anything other than a Japanese address on Campfire, the crowdfunding site. So if proxies aren’t your thing or if you’d like to wait for official information from Codomomental, something is coming!
About Budokan live DVD crowdfunding
We would be very happy if everyone living overseas could also support us. I can't find a solution on this site, so I'm thinking of another method.
However, please note that the product sent as a thank-you item is a product that can be handled https://t.co/MH9OAghKja

Here’s some more new NARLOW to sink your teeth into!
The new Cinder-ella MV is giving Koyaanisqatsi vibes in the best way possible, both visually and musically.
Ok, so CYNHN is not labelling themselves as idols but, come on, listen to that absolute banger.
Have a fun and pop sleepover with GANG PARADE. They are absolutely dressed like Groovy Girls dolls in this MV and it’s a perk, if you ask me.
All three of you survivors from the great Rilisreverse exodus now have something to keep you alive; the much poppier Tonalia!
Satanic Punish is giving us lyrics videos in honor of their upcoming Europe tour
Although we just entered September Hachigatsu-chan isn’t far, here’s TOROi with a fun end of the summer anthem
I hadn’t heard of αtale (pronounced Alpha Tale) before, but thanks to discord user Bobisrandom, I’ll keep an eye on them!
THE+BETH providing us with an MV for their ballad Kibō (Somewhere).
Gangdemic is shaking their hips and it’s contagious
It sure feels like Antithese is pulling a BiS iDOL maid MV with this latest offering!
Music-wise, there are also some exciting news! RAY is coming out with a third album
