The first Weekender of April is always a difficult task due to the struggle of sorting the April Fools Day pranks from the more serious releases. Since around half of the idol units that we cover display glimmers of insanity on a regular basis, it’s hard to know just when they’re joking. Now that April 1st is firmly in the rear view mirror, let’s get down to the serious business of idol:
