REEEEEEEE DEARSTAGE ISN'T ALT

I felt like I had to get it out of the way

Did Chanmomo ever stop with the plastic surgeries?

OP, you should have added to the news section that BiSH unveiled their newest member, Ayuni "Dying For A Good Dicking" D!

>>15753701
Who bitch this is?

>>15753933
Yes, I forgot about it.

>>15753964
Her name is Mimi Chikage (千影みみ).

>>15753964
Calm down Shinblade.

On another note, why is Kanamiru so gorgeous?

>>15754163
decent knees

>>15754163

>>15754163
Thanks Doc.

>>15754229
You can almost taste the sluttniess emitting from her

>>15754239
What's funny is that she's not slutty at all. I can't describe it well but her personality is kind of aggressive but she's awkward at the same time.

My Yuzu~

>>15754505
She is growing up.

>>15754569
Hopefully Emi doesn't get any sort of complex from being around her and also Karin a lot of the time.

>Get a literal who

Ayyy

Breakfast with Younapi!

This is your shop assistant for today.

Are there any idols that do stuff like this any more? Preferably solo or duos. Koharu is pretty much the idol that got me into idols. I'm a sucker for just plain cute songs stuff and puffy skirts.

>ask for slut
>get pure qt
OP is trying to show you the light.

Besides, this thread is kind of supposed to be about literal whos.

>>15755757
Isn't that like every normal idol? Just go to the AKB or Hello Project threads.

This is my very first time on this board, what can I expect?

>>15755897
Chanmomo is the queen of here.

>>15755900
she's nice. who is she though?

>>15755900
Go back to your kpop threads, fucking plastic chaser.

>>15755903
She is a band member from Bandojanaimon! You can see their MV if you click it in the OP

>>15755897
You can fuck off

>>15755947
lol. why so mean?

>>15755897

>This is my very first time on this board, what can I expect?

>>15755960
Did you mean thread? I don't understand. If you are new to this board why would you post in this thread of all places?

>>15754259

The face of an Idol when viable sources of money don't come to concerts

>>15756329
Big head looking ass

In this week's episode of Hobohobo Chiffon is showing us her one room apartment:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcZVTqzPhwA

You didn't buy their CDs so she will atone for your sins by buying them herself.

She lined up so you wouldn't have to suffer like she did.

>>15756682
I wonder how many jp men cat called her or asked for a picture

>>15756386
i want to live in a relatively small apartment with an idol!

>>15756682
Cute shoes.

>>15756386
>No computer
>No TV
>Just a monitor with a shitty ps2
>no closet so clothes on the ground

Damn didn't know idols literally had shit living conditions.

I believe Napi lives with her parents, dunno about the other two Yurumerumos.

>>15756782
And this is an idol with another job

>>15756845
What was Chiffon's job again?

>>15756854
Dental assistant

>>15756845
>another job
Holy shit so she has 2 jobs just for a shitty apartment with a shitty 2 by 4 room? How much does she get paid?

>>15756818
The idol industry probably couldn't function if not for the kindness of parents.

>>15756856
No wonder she is so patient.

are there any idols that make songs that sound like they are fit for sentai or kamen rider

i mean, most of them are already colour coded like sentai, so just wondering if any of them make songs about heroes and such

>>15756818
How old is Napi?

>>15756968
I don't know sentai or kamen rider but I know an idol song that sounds like eurobeats?

>>15757008
Nobody really knows, probably below 25.

>>15757008
30

>>15757013
>>15757018
I'm going to hope it's the former, just for her parents sake.

>>15756968
well theres a group literally called Kamen Rider Girls so they probably fit the bill. also I'm sure Momoiro Clover Z have more songs that sound "sentai-ish", I don't follow them so I wouldn't really know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCRlKdMnPLI

>>15756782
Its a fucking apartment in tokyo

I bet that small room costs over 1k a month

>>15757048
I could take of Napi if they don't want her anymore!

>>15757072
>I bet
And I bet it doesn't.

>>15757081
Have you ever lived in tokyo?

If that apartment is near a train station it can easily cost 1k

>>15757133
That apartment isn't near a train station.

>>15756818
How else could she afford all that hair dye?

Happy birthday to the purest Bandomon girl.

>>15757229
But that's not Momochan

>>15757011
cool! what's it called?

>>15757056
momoclo z is pretty good! havent been really fond of krg tho (oddly enough)

maybe what im kinda looking for is an idol version of jam project, which might be ridiculous i suppose hahaha

anyone into fruity? i saw them live a couple of times during my previous trip to japan but my favourite member misatan seems to have gone solo

>>15757229

P U R E

>>15757307
Misako is actually a pretty lewd woman.

Its time to get out of bed and brush your teeth

>>15756859
Well, if you consider that an idol band as to earn enough money for :
- The members
- The staff (so the producer and a few managers in the case of YLMLM)
- The venues
- All the guys that are actually composing the music and stuff

You start to understand why they have to do so much live per weeks and all the chekki "industry" to stay afloat. And Yurumerumo has a pretty good popularity in term of fanbase.

Even being a idol produccer doesn't seems to be a good plan financially speaking, except if one of your group manage to take off.

>>15757314
why was Misako hanging out with this lewd woman?

>>15757316
i want to brush an idols teeth like that one anime scene

>>15757316
Isn't this Nayuta Aku? Where is this pretty picture from?

>>15757316
>>15757334
Nevermind. Just found it myself on her Twitter. The filename confused me.

>>15757330
But isn't YLMLM pretty popular? Shouldn't they be at least making 2k a month?

Misako is the only banmon with actual talent

I don't really see what is so appealing about working as an idol for all these girls besides the attention. It's really tough and the payment isn't good.

>>15757360
Siorin is really talented, don't let her behavior fool you.

>>15757364
Its fun

>>15757360
Cause she's insane enough to be part of a band and an idol group at the same time?

>>15757351
I would be very interessed to get the details of the budget of any group discussed here, but yeah they are sufficiently popular to be able to drag more or less one hundred peoples roughly twice per week for their regular live, to have (from my estimation) between 30 and 50 peoples sufficiently dedicated to follow them when they are doing a tour, and to fill venue with ~2000 peoples when they are organizing a big oneman live.

So yeah, they are pretty popular compared to most of the bands discussed here, but given they have not the "firepower" of a major behind them, I guess it can get pretty rough financially.

>>15757364
Attention and popularity is a big reason anon. Who can claim being able to stand on stage supported by hundred of peoples? It's not something than most of people will be able to experiment. And yeah, they seem to really have fun on stage.
And if the popularity of your group become sufficient enough, it can be the start of a good carrer, it's up to you.

>>15757360
>>15757378
Yuzu is a talented girl too.

>>15757331
Yuki chan 4 president

>>15757413
I hope she passes the Miss ID semi final.

most "popular" non major label idols are lucky to pull in 2,500,000 yen a year which is why they typically have a second job or end their idol career by the time they hit their mid to late twenties

>>15757462
Source?

>>15757462
What do they do afterwards? Get hitched by one of their wotas?

>>15757474
Sometimes, but usually they just get a real job and start a normal life.

>>15757474
Moechi found a "normal" full time job for example.
(I don't think you can find a "general" answer, getting maried/working and more generally living a "normal" life in some case, continuing in the media industry as an actress or as a non idol singer other cases I guess)

>>15757481
You just posted my picture a few second before, congratulation anon

>>15757481
Who is this OL cutie?

>>15757497
Moechi. She used to be a member of Bellring Shoujo Heart.

>>15757502
What does she do and does she have a family now? Also how old?

Speaking of Bellring, waiting for an higher quality video, but august beruha-wotas birthday celebration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl__S7xRYpo

>>15757473
personal experience talking to idols when i'm on holiday. most basically make enough just for food.

>>15757507
Don't know, she just exited from he "twitter silence" that followed her graduation in march a few weeks ago to say she found a job (thus the photos).

New BiSH icons, I'm gonna miss the nurse outfits.

>>15757507
She is 23 years old, found a job recently. It's unknown if she has a BF/husband.

>>15757532
>23
That's pretty young to quit being an idol.

I can vouch that Idol isn't a wellpaying job. Most of the younger ones are students, living with their parents and thus are able to sustain themselves. As for the "adults", they might work a second job on the Side. Some of them also live with their parents, since that is completely normal in japanese society.

>>15757581
If she completed her university, that's pretty logical.

>>15757462
Major label isn't a shortcut to money. Sure, you get the backing of a large Corporation and increased exposure. The money still gets pocketed by the label and Management and the money that is left after that isn't all that big.

There are certain agencies that don't pay members at all, but withhold the money on the idea that they are lucky enough to get free dance/vocal lessons etc.

Sometimes the members might live in a shared apartment with other members. Small and not a lot of space, but cheap and affordable

Would it be possible for a rich gaijin as myself to marry an idol that isn't doing so well?

>>15757644
Money is the thing japanese women care the most about when settling, so it's probably doable if you put the effort.

>>15757666
Time to learn moon.

>>15757678
Conversely, I am above average looking but mostly a poorfag.

>>15757751
I heard some nip girls would want a visa to get out of nipland so maybe you still have a shot?

Kisu!

>>15757877
Are you ready to catch bugs anon

>>15757789
Not to sound like a weeb, but why would you want to leave Japan? Social issues I'm guessing?

>>15758052
Because have you seen the work and living conditions? Some JP Girls would rather take it easy and marry a gaijin just to have a easier life.

>>15758178
It really depends on the area
Most japs do work a lot but there are plenty who dont and not all living conditions are bad. In fact they nice in some rural areas and smaller cities

>>15758257
Just go to Tokyo pretty sure you'll find a jap girl who would want to move out.

Hey guys, I'm gonna be an idol. I applied for the new BiS so please look out for me!

>>15758395
ok, i'll look out for the white guy

>>15755906
OOF

>>15758395
>filtered

Idol-chan you can have half of my salary if you just hang around and entertain me

Napi is cute!

>>15758925
Why are there cat toys in her hair

>>15758934
These aren't cat toys.

I m a selfproclaimed idol expert, ask me anything

>>15759116
Who is the cutest idol out of the ones that get posted frequently on these threads?

>>15759132
I'd say Mimi, the girl in OP.

>>15759116
How do I marry an idol?

>>15759116
Which groups fans are craziest

Are Banmon fans the new Yurumerumo posters?

>>15759142
Good choice!

>>15759142
I'm sorry, the correct answer is 'Ano'. Thank you for trying.

>>15757644
>>15759146
These two are similar, so might as well answer both.

First of all: marrying a fan is extremely rare, if not even nonexistent. It's a huge taboo to communicate with fans outside the official channels, moreso dating them.

The real way is to get to know them through business channels. You don't have to be directly working with them (marrying your manager is just weird), just have a regular connection where you meet em, like a label rep, magazine staff or music video director. Or be a celeb.

>>15759132
KOTO

>>15759155
It certainly seems like it. That one Chanmomo poster needs to go, real talk.

>>15759154
Johnny's.

>>15759155
As long as the truce made by banmonanon and yurumerumoanon holds, there shall be no discrimination.

>>15759170
I think the person posting chanmomo isn't the problem, it's the hater(s) that cause the thread to go to shit.

>>15759155
I must be really cancer because both Banmon and YLMLM are my favorite units.

>>15759155
The Banmon anonngot his revenge

>>15759170
>>15759167
Come on, we all know that our personal oshi is the cutest. Mimi is just cute, but not my DS oshi.

>>15759205
Thread milestone: a group gets so popular that other posters want them to GTFO from the thread

>>15759169
Well there was that time sashihara tracked down one of her fans on mixi and started banging him.

But then she has really low self esteem and probably didn't think she could do better.

>>15759239
Who? There are cases yes, but it's still a taboo.

>>15759205
>"why doesn't /alt/ talk about Banmon? They are a lot of fun"
>fast-forward a few threads and it reaches YLMLML levels of saturation
Welp.

>>15759252
>Who?
You must be new to this idol thing...

>>15759272
I dont care about your akb shit.

>>15759262
Pony Canyon mediaboost doing its work!

>>15759272
Lol you must be new to this idol thing. Not a lot of people who are into alt idols really know or care about akbgroup Idols since it's about everything they are against

>>15759361
To be fair a lot of the idols itt are barely a step below akb as far as being traditional idols.
How are bando even alt at all? They're the exact type of idols bis was mocking back in 2012
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4LK6EhU0Mdo

>>15759361
I don't see much of a difference beside the amount of money backing them

Anyone here going to next music from tokyo in toronto? we should get drinks after the show!

>>15759426
I'm considering it.

I'll have to start looking into the hotel options around there.

>>15759361
Huh? Do you mean for foreign fans? Sure... but they don't really count.
Japanese idol otaku definitely know about the main groups though. I haven't met one fan at an indie show that didn't also follow a mainstream group. Even the groups cover mainstream idol songs and the wota know the dance routine.

>>15759409
>you have to be needlessly edgy to be alt

>>15759426
Are you getting mature drinks and discussing the aspects that make MBG a mature idol group for mature listeners?

>>15759409
Calling banmon or any other group posted here similar to mainstream idols is pure ignorance.

>>15759440
Funny. I've met people who might know AKB and so by name, but don't know the songs. I've met people who like rock bands and support only one idol group. There are a lot of idol fans.

>>15759490
So should we post dempa or lyrical school in here too?

>>15759510
Bandomon in comparison to oyasumi hologram is Morning Musume

>>15759557
Dempa is indeed alt, it just got crazy popular so it has no place in alt/underground discussion anymore.
You are silly, man.

>>15759557
Should there be a thread for non-edgy groups then?

>>15759575
No.

>>15759575
Yeah, call it Idols for fags general

>>15759586
>>15759594
Nijicon would be the top runner for that thread then.

>>15759510
I bet none of those people have been native Japanese

>>15759602
Yeah, those pesky koreans!!

>>15759594
That would be terribly confusing, all idol threadsare idols for fags

>>15759594
>>15759623

Happy now?

hawa~

>>15759824
White suits her.

>>15759575
I'm just saying I don't see how bando is alt dude. Their appearance, singing and general marketing seems like typical idol shit to me. Yeah they tend to have pop punk instrumentals but it seems like that's about the only thing.
If I'm being honest it seems like they're just using it as a gimmick because it's easier to compete with idols like YMM or Deep Girl than it is to compete with AKB or HP.

Why hasn't anyone subbed any of the other BIS videos? I don't understand how sub groups do anime bds and akbingo almost instantly but no one's bothered with a realitively popular groups final moments.

I just watched Tenko's "horror film" that was great, scared whiny short haired Tenko is best.

Also greatest ending of all time

>>15753701
>Why hasn't anyone subbed any of the other BIS videos? I don't understand how sub groups do anime bds and akbingo almost instantly but no one's bothered with a realitively popular groups final moments.

Bis is a lot less popular than you think. Especially in the west. Just because their videos have a ton of views doesn't mean anything.

>>15759170
Fuck you. You have to go real talk.

>>15761061
Get out
>>15759623

>>15761063
No.

>>15760580
Why don't you do it yourself you lazy shit.

>>15760102
They don't compete with them, they're their own niche. Notice how they have instrumenta on stage? They actually play Those.

It's pretty offensive that you make judgement on them without actually researching them

Anyone have a copy of this?? please

IDOL AND READ 007

>>15761236
I have researched them though. And I don't see how they're their own niche. Everything beyond the fact that they occasionally play drums and bass on stage is pretty standard.
Theres no point in continuing this conversation though I don't hate them or anything I just don't think they're very alt but that's not gonna stop people from posting them or any other group on the brink. I

>>15761326
I own the book. I can't scan it but I could take some photos of a particular interview you're interested in.

>>15761605
No thanks.

>>15755757
So, you like 70s and 80s idols.
Junko Sakurada, Chiemi Hori, Yuki Saito and many others.

>>15755757
Try Yufu Terashima

>>15761573
I'm still trying to find your point. What makes an idol alt?

>>15760431
It came with my CD

>>15759361
Bullshit. Most of us are ok with alt and mainstream idols.

post alt idols
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkqHR3fyKbM

>>15761690
I'd say being an alt idol = being an alternative to mainstream idols in sound, style and they way they market themselves. For example Necronomidol, BIS, Oyasumi Hologram, Jun Togawa, Izukoneko etc.
I don't see how bando fits any of those categories, but again like I said it doesn't matter, you and others are still gonna post them so who cares.

>>15761768
Why are you so adamant about categorizing things? Are you having difficultirs to accept that some things are different than you would like?

Also lol Jun Togawa isn't an idol

>>15761774
Your green is really showing here m8. Jun started her career as an idol and for the majority of people in Japan, once an idol, ALWAYS an idol.

>>15761774
Why are you so insistent on fighting my opinion?
You seem pretty asspained that I don't like your group so much so as to even question why I would categorize things despite the fact we're posting in a thread about a sub-genre.
I've already stated that it doesn't matter but you keep replying.

>>15761605
I just need to see the parts where ano is involved

>>15761833
I just love baiting you into replying since you seem to love having the final word. Dude just let it slide. You ain't gonna be a TO of anything with that kind of attitude. Just let people post shit they like since in the end, thread policing never works. If you want to make a statement, write a blog or do a podcast.

Let's just go back to the traditional "hi guys dia is my oshi" posting

>>15761870
anon, what do i do when i have multiple oshi's? i feel unfaithful

>>15761236
>They actually play Those.
Rather common this days.

>>15761866
>I was only pretending to be retarded

Stop fighting and post Chanmomo!

>>15761881
You's a DD. just keep posting

>>15761803
>once an idol, ALWAYS an idol.
Yeah, not at all.
Togawa Jun used to be an idol, she's not anymore. Otherwise you would have to admit that all the 80's idols are still idols Yuki Saito, Chiemi Hori, Hiroko Yakushimaru, Mariko Nagai or even 70's idols like Masako Mori (she's like 60 years old).

You are just bullshiting your way trough.

The thing about banmon is that all girls are good so it's hard to chose.

>>15762027
I like them all a lot, but Ringo is best girl.

>>15762027
I like them all a lot, but Chanmomo is best girl.

>>15762027
I tried to make a joke. I am Miyuchi all the way. I even bought green dickies shorts because of her.

But yes, all of them are fun.

>>15762072
Are you taller than Miyuchii? If so, by how much?

she looks like Nicamoq but with a will to live still

>>15762025
>>15761857
seconding these

>>15761922
Look, if you want to argue on how things work in JAPAN, you may as well give up because that's the way it is there. If you want to argue on how things foreigners outside of Japan perceive things, sure, have at it. I really don't care about that since so much misinformation is rampant when it comes to how foreigners THINK things are within a facet of Japanese culture.

>>15762206
And its fun!

Honestly i thought they would have died but this is incredible

>>15762257
Give me death

you're intolerable.

real alt idol

stop dumping images

>>15762623
wow she's a qt

>>15763137
It's on JPS, title is Tentenko no Fuuin Sareta Eizou 1

No subs, but they aren't really necessary desu, it's just her talking to the cameraman about how scared she is most of the time.

>>15762750
What are their names? They are beautiful.

How does one make his oshi truly happy?

>>15763177
Publicly them dick pics on twitter

>>15763177
Jizz in your hand before you shake hers.

>>15763177
Buy stuff, go to gigs, take chekis, send replies on twitter.

>>15762787

>>15763177
If you are a foreigner, taking a cheki may be sufficient to make her day.
I remember that the first time I took one with Chiffon she mentionned it on twitter.

Having fans coming from thousands of kilometers away from your place must be a cool feeling.

>>15763177
>>15764019
How does a gaijin even get to take a Cheki? I know no japanese it would be awkward to meet them and not be able to communicate.

>>15764027
You go to a merch table and buy a two shot cheki ticket.

If it's a release event, you buy CD's and use the special tickets you get when you buy the cd (1 per cd sold, usually valid for only that event).

>>15764027
Well, for me I guess the difference is being able to basically communicate in japanese, which is especially simple during cheki as an idol will tend to speak slowly and clearly if it seems that you have some diffuclties to understand what she say. On the other hand, I understand almost nothing when I'm stuck in a conversation between multiple japanese interlocutors

I guess you can also survive by using some basic english, if you stick to simple words or randomly drop english word to compensate your lack of vocabulary it should work.

If you are just fearing the "akward" side of thing, just don't worry about it: most of time the wotas are really happy to have a foreigner participate in such events and will encourage you to do it.

>>15764027
Sign language and broken english gets them a long way.
Also, at the event, try to talk to a friendly looking fan. They will help you (since that gets them brownie points in the eyes of their lsgi).

>>15764027
You can use a translation app on your phone but chances are someone on staff will know some english. You will get pampered, it's probably the only time in your adult life that you will be treated as a special snowflake.

>>15764050
Oh but doesn't that only limit you to one idol?

>>15764058
Yeah I guess saying picture and pose would be enough for them to know just going to kinda feel weird.

>>15764060
lsgi?

>>15764075
>pampered
Eh I thought they would just welcome you with open arms?

>>15764081
They'll probably give you extra mech. I met a truly underground group (doubt anyone here has heard of Ami) my first time and they gave me a free shirt with a personalized message from each member on the back.

>>15764019
>cheki
>oshi

I'm new, I just learned what oshi means but what is cheki? From context it sounds like a photoshoot?

>>15764118
Yes, cheki is basically slang now for polaroid cameras and polaroid pictures.

>>15764118
Basically, it's the term for a polaroid photography.
In this context, it's a polaroid photo of an idol, or of you and an idol (2-shot cheki) or of you and X idols (X+1 shots cheki)

Speaking of cheki's,there was discussion about cheki's in general a few threads in general.

Pictured are two major types of cheki's you can get taken at an event. These both fall under two-shot category, even if the right one is a solo photo. More on that later.

-left picture is a two-shot. It's the usual type you have people taking at an event. Typical flow is: you line up for the member you want your pic taken (sometimes you line up for the group and a staff member asks who you would like to take a pic with), when it's about to be your turn, a staff member collects the tickets. You walk up, say hi and so on. This is the point where you request the pose. After the pose, staffer takes the pic. Now, depending on the group, you have a set amount of time to chat with the member while the pic is being developed, signed, etc. After that is over, you get kindly moved away as the next person is having their moment.
-right one is called a pinshot. Sometimes you don't want a two-shot, so you opt for the solo pic. This is done the same way as a two-shot, but 's your turn, you should inform the staff and the idol that it's pinshot time. Pose can be designated. After that, the flow is similar as having a two-shot taken.

About signatures: there are many variations on the signing policy. A common one is that you can have your cheki signed after the cheki session. This usually consumes a "ticket" which you get from the merch table or by buying a CD during a release event. The other variation is that the cheki is signed during the two-shot session. Lyrical School has you do RPS with the member and if you win, your cheki is signed. Signatures can be typical name-and-date, sometimes the idol might doodle and scribble something on the cheki.

Note, these are only the two-shot variations. The third, common one, is the group cheki (kakomi cheki). That's the one where you are surrounded by the group. Usually these don't have much facetime compared to two-shot due to the fast pace of the photography.

>>15764143
I always wondered can the janaimons actually play the instruments or is it just for show?

>>15764081
It limits you to only one, yes. If you want to have facetime with multiple, I recommend the handshake or the group cheki.

Isgi is me typoing oshi.

>>15764107
>>15764176
I would probably be to embarrassed since I have social anxiety but I wouldn't mind actually going to a show since I would be in a crowd, but thanks for explaining.

>>15764175
Misako is a professional drummer. Miyuchii played bass in high school, she was a high schooler during the K-ON! craze. Yuzu was in a band before joining. The other three, haha, no.

It all depends on the day and event. Misako is playing the drums for real almost every time, Miyu and Yuzu seem to alternate. Miyu plays most bass solo's herself, other times she has her other bass (she has a fake and a real one on stage, easy to notice which is which) while backing track is playing. Yuzu plays synth solos rarely.

>>15764175
Misako is always playing the drums and Miyuchii/Yuzu have a few solo parts.
Otherwise, they might rarely go full band and play something.

>>15764195
Full band is a special segment they do at their "landmark" gigs. They did that at Akasaka and Zepp Diver City. Toyosu didn't have that.

>>15764205
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja7P3hlpiEA

>>15764185
I mean, I've been to shows with just 10 people, half were businessmen on their lunch breaks, so don't always expect a big enough crowd to get lost in. You'll be fine though, even with social anxiety, everyone is there to show their support.

>>15764264
I love how serious Siorin is when playing the keyboard.

>>15764264
Why am I watching 2 girls dance to Miku?

>>15764290
It was their last gig as indies idols so they split the group into three and did an old special attraction they did at a gig or an event in the past. MiyuShio did an odottemita cover years back during a gig.

>>15762537
Kinoshita is my wife

Anon who wanted to watch the BiS doc here. Wow, I know you guys said it was clear they didn't enjoy being in the group but I didn't think it was that bad. I hope they're happier now.

>>15763177
If you know any Japanese, writing a letter is a good start. Just tell them their awesomeness spread to the other side of the world.

>>15763166

NAH

Nao from Babyraids
Akari from TPD
Haruka from Party Rockets GT

>>15764451
It was good family fun!

What was your favorite part? Mine was when Tentenko was crying when she had to admit that she hated BiS.

>>15764498
She's so bad at fake crying

>>15764566
that was clearly not fake

>>15764650
What? Tentenko was clearly hamming it up during that segment

I'd fuck her double chin

>>15764719
I want Aina to end me

>>15764719
omg she looks like a monster from the side!

At long last I took your bait, /alt/.

>>15764812
Why are you downloading kokugikan

>>15764812
Anon, you're downloading the boring documentary. The one you want to see is "BiS after all".

http://jpopsuki.eu/torrents.php?id=161573&torrentid=249255

>>15764837
Y-you mean I took the wrong bait? Oh well, I will watch the Kokugikan one afterwards.

>>15764858
You should watch the kokugikan one first if you already have it downloaded. Makes BIS after all hit even harder when you see how far they've come.

so does anyone know koshoji's story up to joning bis?

>>15764998
She was a member of a group called Mocopuro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhCRKctGwZI

>>15765022
and before?

>>15765036
Probably a high school girl.

>>15764498
Everything with Koshoji and the last 2 scenes.

>>15759426
I'm going to the Saturday show, how about you?

>>15765092
who tummy this is

>>15765197
It's Megumon's tummy.

>>15757633
I read an article about male members of visual kei bands that sounded similar to your description. Anyone who wasn't huge got treated like a rank and file employee, sharing rooms with band members, food paid by the company, paid a basic stipend if anything at all. The producers being the real talent behind everything, from the concept to visual style to writing music. One difference was the fan meet events being apparently more like host clubs than the assembly line handshakes and photos of idol groups.

>>15765197
My oshi's tummy.

>>15756386
1K room, d-does that mean she goes to the p-public baths?

>>15765284
she is the public baths anon

I managed to find an english report on Especia's most recent 8/28 live. It looks like they brought the dancing back and Mia might be singing some of her own lines instead of just backing vocals.

This guy at least liked the show. Do I dare hope that Especia is on the mend?

>>15765339
They also brought back the hotel-like gimmick of offering light snacks before the show.

>>15765339
They are sophisticated idols now.

>>15765345
Just what I need, more fuel for my asshole while I try to enjoy a show

>tfw you remember when /alt/ used to hardly get any posts and it would take at least a week to reach bump limit
>now we're reaching bump limit after only two days consecutively

is this what it feels like when you see you favourite underground idols go from having 10 people at their lives to selling out shows?

>>15765416
that never happens because i know when to stop

>>15765416
>when you see you favourite underground idols go from having 10 people at their lives to selling out shows?
But that's a good thing, anon. Your favorite underground idols get depressed and sad when they can't even fill out a small room with an audience. Do you want your idol to cry backstage because she knows there's no choice but to quit when her school ends?

もしもし

>>15765521
She should be holding that phone to her chest

>>15765521
おっぱいです

Detective anon from months ago here, who said Nicamoq was shy & that Chiffon was secretly very girly.
Her entirely pink room proves my Chiffon theory was correct!

>>15765910
no

>>15765910
no

>>15765926
Accept it anon.

>>15764058
>That feel when your Japanese is good enough to have a decent conversation, but you look too foreign and lost so no wota will open up and talk to you.

I would try talking to them but they already have their own group of friends. ;-;

Seems like a big BiS announcement is coming tonight at 20:00 Japan time

>>15766203
What to do you mean by too foreign ?

From my expererience at least some wotas will try to talk to you, especially if you come seeing the same group a few times.

best punk oshi

>>15765339
>>15765345
Fuck, i just accepted Especia's death, i can't go back now, i'm not ready.

>>15765214
I know which article you are talking about and that one is a total parody article.

When i wanted to see my oshi i talked with other wotas while waiting for my cheki.
They even gave me free merchandise and a free cheki coupon they were really nice.

Apologize.

>>15767075
I'm rooting for Sentochihiro Tsutsu.

But he is the spirit of BiS.

Maison Book Girl going Major. 1st Major single November 30th

>>15767192
The label is Tokuma Japan which is owned by Tokuma Shoten, a huge publisher. How fitting

>>15767192
MAJOR? thats it, MBG are no longer my indie post-modern experimental harsh noise math rock collective, dropped

>>15767075
This is just another troll and none of those girls will be members right?
They're all 18 and have fake knock off names of other members.

That being said
>>15767097
Her and Yokohama Hina are the only two that seemed interesting

i want to play at the beach with Napi!

>>15767242
They aren't 18, it's just Pour Lui trying to meme as always. If you look at her twitter, it says that she's 18 too. The girls are kinda whack for the most part except Sentochihiro Tsutsu, Koshoji Megumu and maybe Bug Me. Anyway what does this tweet say? Google translating replies makes it seem that it was all a prank but I'm not sure.

>>15767242
The names are only provisional, but it appears to me that witch Pour-Lui picked plain and boring girls in order to become the group's most popular member this time.

>>15767365
There's truth in some of the things written there, but it is written in a tongue in cheek manner like most of the stuff on that site.

Is Runaten anon here? I've just found out that they're self produced and now I'm hype as fuck. Their first single comes out tomorrow, do you know if it's possible to buy it anywhere? I have a feeling it will be distributed at their lives and that's it.

>>15767422
Yes i am here

The CD will be available online but you're gonna have to use a forwarding service

Anyways I'm gonna buy it tomorrow

>>15767422
>>15767579
Sorry i might have been wrong im going to email them and ill post here later

>>15767192
But they dont even have a sizable fan base, weird. DROPPED>>15767192

>>15767579
That's a shame, I'm still a student and the only ways I buy jp music is either digitally or order it from Cdjapan once I have 3 or more cds on my mind to save on shipping. Would be great if you uploaded it on jps or somewhere else, but it's understandable if you think it'll harm the girls and don't want to do it.

>>15767643
Ah alright, didn't see this post when I typed my reply >>15767660

>>15767579
>>15767643
I hope you weren't wrong. I'm definitely going to buy the CD if it's available online.

>>15767348
"Now, do whatever you please for the the time being lol"

"fun, isn't it?"

I think? Seems like he's just telling people to go find their oshi's

>>15767773
Thanks for the translation. I guess my BiS 2.0 oshi is Megumun then.
