anyone listening or listen to the (relatively) new mcpero album? it's pretty fun
Yeah, haven't listened to it since it came out but it's pretty good.

There's another new codomo mental act, this time a soloist called 少年がミルク.
I'm alright with the new BiS lineup. The important thing is that Godzilla made it plus Nagayama also won me over in the end. It helps that the others were offered a place in a different group but unfortunately it's uncertain if Tsutsu will join. It seems she was already in a BiS cover group called BiSS and she's such a dedicated fan that she would rather go back to that than be in an official rival group. It sucks that she didn't make it. I won't forget the injustice of placing her last in the singing competition even though she was clearly one of the best singers.

I like it. man, she sounds like Mariko Goto though. is Mashiro the token codomo mental ambassador or what?
I like it. Glad she's finally releasing something!

nu-BiS first live show at 1800 jst, which does me NO good 
It'll be on that nico stream.
I assume it's just going to be four songs (Primal, IDOL, Nerve, and BiS BiS), unless they do the most BiS thing possible and just play Nerve 10 times in a row.
e: even Watanabe is calling her "Gojira" now. they've got the IDOL IS DEAD costumes. show will be here
I'd buy a subscription to this channel.

That was a great big mess and I fucking loved it. I am now super excited for the future of this group.
New member names:
Maina - キカ•フロント•フロンタール (Kika Front Frontale)
Megumu - アヤ•エイトプリンス (Aya Eight Prince)
Nagayama - ペリ•ウブ (Peri Ubu)
Gojira - ゴ•ジーラ (Go Ji-ra)
Peri suprisingly very quickly became my favorite.She is just adorably aloof. Bless that spicy curry that lead to this.
Paripi, Nozomu and Yufu also stormed the stage at the end as part of SiS to formally declare their rivalry with BiS. They are doing their first live show later this month.

I'm also a fan of Peri but I just like ponkotsu members in general.
I'm seeing reports that Tsuttsu and Second Summer dipped out for good, not sure how accurate those are though. I'm glad Nozomu stuck around though, she's too dorky and likable.
Takahashi Yu to release his new full album on November 16. It will include a self-cover of the song he wrote for Kanjani8 which makes me super happy cause it was great
Now I just need Sakanaction's new album to be announced and the year is pretty much perfect in terms of release. Maybe add a new Kyuso Nekokami and Brian the Sun for good measure.

BiSH put up samples of all their new songs on their twitter account. I like about half of them I guess, so that's not too bad.
The highlights though are this punk song with lyrics by Lingling and this song with goofy engrish lyrics by Momoko

hot take: 300 yen is about what they're worth
Matsukuma better step the hell up for new BiS material

This is the 2nd Keyakizaka46 song to be a strong candidate for best trad idol group single of 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awGVuRoxrkw

Yep, this seems to be why they warned people to turn off their wi-fi before each show. Apparently LA didn't get the drones.
Second Summer is in but it seems both Bug Me and Tsutsu declined. They were my two faves so I don't know how interested I'll be in SiS. Of course that will probably change if they're a different style musically and not more of the same Matsukuma tunes.

BAYCAMP2016 TIP OFF ACT 春ねむり
Oh my god Haru Nemuri is melting my heart right now. This Baycamp set is amazing. Such an emotional and hypnotizing flow. She also gets really powerfully aggressive at points.
She's releasing her debut mini album on Low High Who? next month and I'm looking forward to it more than anything else right now.

Also:
edit: aaaaah, the one video she has on her low high who profile page is a Shinsei Kamattechan cover. I love her.

Not as interesting as their debut, but I can get behind the sound they are going after.

Damn, Shout it Out just lost their guitarist and bassist. Oh well, they're 19/20yo so I guess at that age it's important to make a choice. Hope they'll be happy.
Looking forward to what Shout it Out will release from now on, one of the most promising newcomer bands. Wonder if they'll get new official members.

HAJIMETAL（ハジメタル）「 Maybe,I'll be with you」 （featuring　金子理江）

from the appearance on Abema today, we learned some stuff about BiS. Gojira was an OL and is still the best. Peri was a student with some idol experience. She also briefly had a tweet up where she said her singing sounded tone-deaf at their live, lol. Kika worked in a bakery and Aya worked in a shop of some kind. They stuck with the 18 years old thing :\

Rip Peri. She's probably the only one where the 18 years thing is a lie the other way. I think she turns 18 this year and that's why she can't appear on late night tv lol.
You guys who know Japanese better than me, can you explain this to me? http://natalie.mu/music/news/200889
Their major debut will happen on the 21th this month, or I understood that wrong? I thought they already had their major debut?

No it's just something to celebrate the anniversary of their major debut.
They do that every (?) year.

it was 300円 for 24 hours or so i think. I don't think it's "officially" out until next week, this was like an early adopters incentive
e: actually I don't think it's out anywhere else until October!

Confirmation of SiS members.
Bug Mii, Yufu, Paripi, Uika and Nozomu.
No Tsuttsu (and Tontonko lol).
Excited for the continuation of all the sexual tension between Yufu and Aya. (https://youtu.be/OoSiEVUWWAg?t=5251)
