you won't hear me complain about upping the percentage of YMO
actually I wouldn't complain if they just made a new YMO album instead
That would be amazing. I was expecting one when they reunited, they hinted that one was in the works. I think this is the closest we'll get to one now.
Well Enon isn't a real name haha

Youtube Red happened.
After that came in 90% of the J-rock/pop/Vk can no longer be viewed on US Youtube.
A friend introduced me to this band Gesu no Kiwami Otome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSYe2ZYZdKU
I quite like their songs, any others similar to them?

I never realized how much I'd miss Victor's content. or how wide their reach is.
the only relief out of that is how much stuff I like is hopelessly obscure/indie and thus, available
if Space Shower starts region-blocking I'm going to have a nervous breakdown

Right. I said it was too cool to be real, but I thought, "Huh, maybe his parents are the kind that would take non-traditional inspiration for their child's name."
What's a "real name," anyway? Celebrities come up with names like Moon Unit, so there is precedent for using much weirder names.

This is true, but I have met people with pretty interesting names. A lot of people I've met where I live now have more uncommon names.
this is pretty cool, i should look into this group

my neighbor in NJ, her name is Izumi =P
and i had a student named Hiroko couple years back
I don't think it's YouTube Red unless they only ever had five videos on their YT channel.
CAPSULE - "WAVE RUNNER -DELUXE EDITION-" Trailer
CAPSULE - "Another World" Music Video
CAPSULE - "WAVE RUNNER" MEGA-MIX MOVIE
CAPSULE - "WAVE RUNNER" JACKET MAKING MOVIE
CAPSULE - CONTROL (FULL ver.)
That's looking at it from Australia so YT Red doesn't exist.
thanks, not so much into that studio song but i'll check out the album

Speaking of Kawatani Enon, some random tabloid is saying that he cheated on his wife with Becky. Erm, okay.

That story is blowing up right now. Becky is the #1 trend on Twitter in Japan and she even had to hold a press conference to address it. Very messy situation.

Becky is really pretty. not that that's an excuse. but I understand.
Lmao at a tweet I saw while browsing about it on Twitter.
At Countdown Japan, Arukara's vocalist said this during a MC : "I saw Kawatani talking to a reaaaally pretty girl in the lobby, and it was Becky!"
Hahaha
Kinda funny that this is happening one week before Gesu's new album.

The old videos are in the Yamaha music channel, like for example:
Shamelessly taking this chance to post the GOAT Capsule song

not sure bout the vocalist but the musicians are good.
Didn't know he was married. Apparently there are Line message saying he was going to divorce his wife and marry Becky.

Dannng. I just saw this on my newsfeed and couldn't help but laugh at the image of Enon they used for some reason.
Anyway this popped up on my twitter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO8ejNInMqE&feature=youtu.be

Maimai out of nowhere announced her graduation from Nogizaka46 on her blog. She's going to graduate after their next single. This is really the first blow to the group as far as members leaving. She's one of the top three members along with Maiyan and Nanasemaru.

you'd put Maimai over Ikuta or Ikoma for importance? she's the oldest member anyway, not overly surprising.
SolidSnakex

In terms of popularity i'd say she's above them. I'd say that Maiyan, Nanasemaru, Maiamai, Ikuchan and Misamisa are the top five in the group in terms of popularity. Ikoma received a bigger push than anyone, but other girls surpassed her even when she was the primary center.
I'm not totally surprised the Maimai graduated, it's just the sudden aspect that's surprising. But it does open up a new slot to give to second gen members. Kiichan or Miona will be back in senbatsu after the next single, if they aren't in it for that one. Pushing them is important now. I don't expect Nogizaka to start bleeding members like other groups have done, but they still need to continue to position the next generation properly.

Is it bad that I thought everyone was talking about Beckii Cruel and not Becky..
Sad, I liked Becky.

Cover art and tracklist for KANA-BOON's upcoming album revealed today.
Aaaand, just as I expected, the bonus CD is a compilation of some of their indie tracks
While I'm happy that they're doing that, I kinda wish they included more "unreleased" tracks, there's only four (bolded), the other ones are just re-recordings/new mixes and one track that is on the actual album :/ Oh well, better than nothing, MUSiC is my favorite KANA-BOON song while かけぬけて and 見たくないもの are easily in my top 5.
New Suchmos is dope

the funny thing is that Nogizaka46's Sayuri Matsumura just recently got busted banging a married dude and effectively got off scot-free.
