Hi Martin

>>10928622
Hi person who thinks the standard iPhone naming system indicates that your name is Martin

>>10928632
Nice one Martin

>>10928622
I'm not even an australian, but the thread could have been started by anyone who got the direct files distributed to them. So while it may not the the photographer, it will be whoever got the files from them. still easy to narrow down. good job at social suicide nonnie. you won't be nonnie soon!

>>10928590
[spoiler]Martin is my oshi[/spoiler]
But honestly the whole Aus scene has been gradually stepping it up in concepts, costumes, and music. I mainly follow Citrus plus and their adjacents and former members. Sometimes the vocals can be a bit scuffed but they make up for it in stage presence and energy. The one thing they are not is shy on stage and I love that in an idol group.

>>10928654
Also when you save a photo onto your iPhone, it gets renamed in this format. So it's not whoever Martin is.

>>10928677
Martin must have a shitty reputation

you got greedy Martin

>>10928590
I will never expose my oshi on here because she is mine.

>>10928590
Now that the Babybeard tour is over and Crazy Fantasy have performed a few times, whats the thoughts on Paida, Amuse and Crazy Fantasy?

Also nobody has an oshi cause literally everyone is DD here

>>10928670
Ctrp is always good

>>10928822

Haha no offense but do you even hear how they sing

Why does Bee always end up ruining the groups she’s in? She from Perth. She’s been in a lot of groups such as BerrySweet, CandyHeart, DreamyPop, DefunctLove and every single group she’s in, she claims to have been the victim of…

>>10928825
doesn’t really matter as long as everything else is good

>>10928930
victim of what, anon?

>>10928944
She’s got new and recurrent complaints with each group.
>being left out
Common thing she says in all groups. How dare the members have friends other than her
>not being respected as leader
I don’t know what that means but from what I can see, no one else is allowed to stand out more than her
>talking behind her back
I mean since she started to join groups, it was from she was a minor, girls those age talk? Good or bad news, it happens.
>planning things without her
Everyone who cosplays tend to have lots of plans and with lots of people. That’s somehow offensive to her.
>being treated as a child
She started cosplaying back when she was a minor and everyone else around her was more or less adults. Her throwing tantrums left and right, of course she’s going to be treated with care and a bit of consideration that you would give a child.
>being thrown away
She kept saying that about Stelluna.

>>10929024
She’s not really relevant imo anon. I’ve heard of her from past idol dramas but she doesn’t really strike me as someone worth noticing.

you guys ever wonder what happened to the members of groups that didn’t float around to new ones when their groups crashed and burned?

>>10929173
you wanna share with the class?

Did anybody else get with an idol last night at Hoshi?

>>10929232

>>10929358
No but I went back to a popular cosplayer’s hotel room

Thoughts on SMASH?

>>10929565
It was interesting

>>10928825
Their live singing is flawed but fuck if they don't make up for it with sheer stage presence and effort. As a performer, show me that you're going balls to the wall and not phoning it in and I can forgive a LOT.

>>10929677
ctrp is best when they do wack songs becUss they can fuck around however much they want but i feigned being a fan of them after they did that concept swap show and the group that got ctrps songs did finitely more better than them

>>10929199
Fellow Rinya enjoyer?

>>10929760
Finitely or infinitely?
Did you feign (pretend to do something) or did you stop?
Also I missed that one. Which group? It doesn’t surprise me

>>10929767
infinitely*
big fan of ctrp until ria left, then just stuck around casually so both
they say they’re anti-idols but end up doing the most basic songs
https://youtu.be/ktYReo5L9vg?si=-hC_Ol2ka8CkTbEO

>>10929774
Are there other recordings of the performance at different angles?

>>10929774
Do you think ria was the best?

>>10929794
NTA but she had the most singing experience after being in AGS for 1-2 years. Not to hate on the other members but they do struggle with vocals. CTRP was originally a casual twitch streaming group.

>>10929762
nope

>>10929822
>>10929565
it was very unfortunate that faeble was right after ctrp. cus it made it even more obvious that ctrp was not singing live (or was struggling very badly). ctrps set at smash was saved by the fact that theyre set is all call-bait

i would do a ranking but i only went saturday

Can you provide a ranking for Saturday?

>>10930015
if someone ranks sunday i will

>>10930009
There are other monochrome idols? I feel like 'Monochrome Member' is pretty much synonymous with Rinya.

>>10929227
Moved on. Some moved to other cities. Definitely not a single one remains friends with her. Everyone she touches, she burns.

>>10930019
I'll do Sunday if you do Saturday first

>>10930166
best to worst. not counting the cosplay idols in the showcase. sunday ranking next then

crafan
bias aside, they know how to work a crowd. made full use of the stage and stage presence

amusepro
it was nice seeing all six of amuse on stage again and was overall fun

faeble
very energetic! but the pink and red members were consistently off tune or flat which is evident due to the lack of backing track. kudos to them though.

himawari
very average japanese idol but my attention was always kept on her

wooly
i don’t know if she is usually this sloppy in her dancing or not. not fun to watch but her music is good!

kristy
similar issue with wooly, her song choices which were different were all good but something was lacking. her screamo was not good.

toss up between kuhaku and ctrp
big kudos to ksta for singing without a backing track. had less time than everyone else because they were part of a showcase but had a good medley of songs.
now ctrp really disappointed because they were either not singing or struggled a lot. pit carried their performance a lot and they looked like they didn’t put much energy into it.

cassie
meh

seiryo process
left but i heard them introduce themselves in japanese. friends told me they weren’t singing well and they weren’t particularly enthused so i didn’t miss much then

>>10930171
>her screamo was not good.
Every attempt sounded strained and painful. Nae and Coda are the only two that seem to be able to scream consistently.

>>10930171
do you go to idol stuff outside of cons?

>>10929794
Ria was obviously the driving force behind their original concept, she pulled it off the best.

Ctrp have had a bit of an identity crisis ever since. There is no synergy between their releases, they don't know what it means to be anti idol.

>>10929774

Thoughts on most recent Brisbane Idol project

>>10930866
If you’re talking about the festival let’s be real the show only started at the last three acts.

>>10930870
Honestly… if this is the state of the Brisbane “idol” community then all hope is lost. Since when was idol about doing shitty vocaloid dance covers in wigs?

Opinions on the animanga idolbox lineup? I’m looking forward to seeing a few of the performers

>>10932784
Always happy to see the frog.
I think Himawari is kinda mid but whatever.
CTRP could be enjoyable if they don't perform their originals.
The songs that I've seen Etude perform bore me to tears.
Idk Moemonsta.
Idk Polarity but they look autistic as fuck.
Idk Lumeteor.
Na-e is probably the best performer here although I don't like her originals.
Idk Seipro outside of whats been said here. Would prefer not to see them.
Idk Zer.

Overall mid.

>>10930390
Look at her recent gym pics. She’s extremely hot

>>10932784
The fact that it’s a Melbourne convention/afterparty and it’s only 1/4 Melbourne Idols is a bit disappointing to say the least.

>>10933135

Who would actually go if it was just Melbourne idols? Aren't they all shit?

Is there anything I should know about people in cosplay or idol groups in Perth, I feel scared talking to people and I’ve heard that there’s lots of shit that’s happened

>>10933209
Does Melbourne even have groups ?

Does anyone know who this Fluffy Platinum girl is? Saw this post that her event got cancelled for not meeting a ticket quota and one of the first thing on her account is her bitching about graduating next year due to favoritism.

>>10933853
Her other posts in that account make her look more than a little unstable or disturbed. Sad she couldn't make the minimum sales but complaining about people telling others not to attend sounds a little paranoid.

>>10933977
Her penis

>>10933982

I agree. I was wondering if maybe she had some kind of history after seeing that but if she’s just schizo, womp womp.

>>10934019
How would you know?

>>10933242
Yeah. Avoid cosplayer Phoebe Love. Bee, usagimeme, she keeps changing her name and think people will forget about the people she hurt.

Anyone know where I can watch Ways to Wonderland?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Ways to Wonderland?

Ways to wonderland was a solid show don’t know if it was recorded or streamed though. Everyone was on their a-game. Nae’s vocals and crowd work was a highlight imo. I think idols should keep some distance from real world events their job is to be a positive distraction of sorts. I think Eimi and Azusa did a good job of hosting a fun event for a good cause.

>>10935746
Desperately need it. Gotta see more of purple’s costume

Matsuri Brisbane happened this week.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this years idols who performed?
Personally having fewer last year made it feel more special as it had a mix of idols and traditional Japanese music performances

>>10936391
Most of the traditional music performances were on the indoor stage, I spent most of my time in there

>>10936391
I agree, I wish they’d keep just the good idol groups instead of letting in everyone who applies. You could really tell the difference in quality between certain acts

>>10936440
I think it was invite this time

>>10936458
Regardless of whether it was by application or invitation, they should pick better and give the actually good acts longer sets. It was painful watching performance after performance of fatties in wigs doing less than mediocre dances. Quality over quantity, you know

>>10936458
No way all of them were invited
Some were to put it bluntly terrible

>>10936464
Only 4 groups were good in my opinion I think it’s disrespectful to COSPLAY to a Japanese festival where cosplay that isn’t the point

>>10936464
Hopefully by doing this “idol” stuff the fatties will loose some weight.
Well the ones who seem to put in effort at least

Some groups should not bother desu A for effort but if you are going to be an “idol”
You have to actually perform not start there and clap a little or stumble around


Amuse and melopara had started off like most of these groups but they learnt I can’t see half of the groups that performed getting anywhere near their level

Didnt go…who were the 4 that were decent anon

>>10936483
Which groups?

>>10936483
You do realise cosplay originated in Japan and cosplayers attend every year

>>10936464
It was the loud cheering for some acts and complete silence for others for me.

>>10936487

Runaway Crew were very good it was my first time seeing them perform glad I saw them over SeiPro
My top idol specific performances I watched were
Bloom Idol project- their overall performance was incredible think they deserved the main stage outside I know most people spent their time at the outside stage so those who did missed out on arguably the best performance of the day .
A-Muse project -as usual they are very well in time knew exactly how to make the crowd happy and excited for them to perform more never a dull moment with them. Forever my favorite idol group.
Tea- she always has a way to engage the crowd she is a very prominent stage presence truly an icon felt truly euphoric amongst the crowd
She did astonishing in the special unit that performed as the opening for the idols on the outside stage l too.
Carousel idols- first of their performances I’ve seen and quite enjoyed mostly their closing act not to mention how excited and loud the crowd was for most their set.

As well as Chaos Squared I think they did much better at matsuri than I’ve seen from them before they seem to be growing as idols

>>10936497
I only know tho Amuse and Tea are from that list but I didn’t get to go devo I missed them sounds like I didn’t miss much though if those were the only good idols who performed.
Saw some clips on instagram looked like some had potential

>>10936497
I've seen carousel a few times. While I like them and their performances, the one they brought in threw me off. I don't know it's name but the pink skirt thing with the ears looked so fucking over the top and was too much of a try hard in the dances it did. The faces it was pulling on stage just didn't look good and were creepy and uncomfortable. It was obvious it wanted to be the centre of attention during the special idol unit and the trio at the start of Carousel's set. I hope it learns it isn't as good as it thinks it is and needs to not be so obnoxious on stage and looses some weight so she can look like a real idol.

Funny "idol" live in Brisbane. She can't be serious.

Thoughts on the Brisbane Comic Con performances? missed out on most of them but heard a lot coming from the performance stage over the weekend

>>10937104
Most of them were lacklustre. I saw most through live streams or at the con so here's my takes on the performances. (split into 2 replies since apparently it was too big)

Saturday
Carousel Idols - good for most of their songs (minus the second last one) the crowd seems to like the duo song a lot and that anime song they do. Although the really one that had the white wig needs to learn how to dance and the one that had the short orange wig needs to learn how to stay in time with the rest of the group and not rush through dances.

Chai - Not much to say, vocals were underwhelming and it was a bit boring but the crowed seemed to like it.

Dreamfusion - usually pretty good but the 4 person songs they did just looked messy

Constellation - Good. But the stage seemed to be too small for the group's size. But the energy was there and the three that did the singing actually sounded good.

Moni - not an idol but an amazing voice. Probably one of the best performance all con, I wish she had had a longer set.

Penumbral - not much to say, energy was there and it was good, crowed seemed to like it too

Cassie Sama - No different to all the other times she's performed. Would have been better without the people dancing with her during the last song since none of them knew what they were doing.

Eucaly - the only one Saturday that even resembled an idol. Great energy and looked good on stage.

Nico - meh, underwhelming, looked slightly clueless at times. Not much else to say.

Ripple - Honestly not a fan of her voice, there also wasn't much going on in her setlist so there's not much to comment on.

>>10937108
Part 2

Sunday
Lift:Off - for being last minute it was good. The orange one didn't really look very good with them and stuck out quite negatively but all the others did really well.

Doki Chu - obnoxious and sloppy. Watching her do the kpop dance and all the jumping she was unsettling. Out of breath after the first song and the faces she was pulling were cringy. Tried to do a "trick" with a fan and failed. Just not a good performance. Her clothes were also falling apart as she danced.

Implosion - disaster. Out of time and messy. The cosplay didn't even fit for 2 of them and one looked like a whale. It was just bad. One didn't even go back on for the final song or photo.

Magica - not very good honestly. The purple one was especially bad and had no clue what she was doing. The one in the long dress did really well, so did the pink one and red one. Those 3 had tones of energy but the rest seemed clueless for most of the performance.

Misfit Idols - messy, uncoordinated. Their whole set was bad. The one dressed as Miku was rushing and messy, the Luka didn't know what she was doing half the time and the Len was stiff and boring. Probably one of the worst performances. The outfits looked even worse and so did the make up.

MorexChaos - was pretty good, facial expressions were lacking in a few of the members, but overall it was pretty good. The crowd liked it and were hyping them up as well.

Untitled Stage - pretty chaotic and unorganised. The one with the long black hair needs to never have a microphone again and was out of tune singing. The horrible acting and staged "charades" in the middle of the set was tacky. 2 of them had no emotion when they were performing and pretty much looked dead on stage. The only one that actually did well was the one with the orange hair.

Chaos2 - One of the best times I've seen them perform and the crowd was really into it as well. They really did a good job.

Davine - performed both days multiple times but she was good.

>>10937108
The one with the bad orange wig stood out in a bad way. She didn’t fit the vibe of most of the group.
On many occasions it looked like she was trying to take the spotlight and make herself centre of attention mustn’t feel great for the rest of the group but they didn’t seem to mind from what I could see from the back

>>10937108
dream fusions collaboration with that other "idol" sucked
they would have been better if they stuck to performing as the 3 of them.. who even was that anyway the tail was a boner killer.
I was looking forward to ripple, I was a fan when she ws in secret chu, but the performance was severely underwhelming

>>10937116
From what I can see they do mind but as performers you get good at hiding it. At least from what I've seen at their other performances.

But it really does seem that way. She's always trying to be in the middle in some way even when she isn't meant to be.

>>10937117
Yeah. It was meant to be the blue idol's debut or something like that.

I was a fan of aquaria when they first debuted and loved all their performances but it's seems like she's trying to do stuff that doesn't suit her or sing songs that don't suit her voice.

It might not be visible unless you play full screen but the side panels are sheer hose and she's bouncing around a lot. Designwise I like the kind of Tron vibes it has in the top part with the pinstripes. The pants have interesting cuts but could have used more texture variation along with the different colors, maybe a metallic sheen or sequins on the grey parts.

I was there for some of the songs and to be fair, I did enjoy the light green member a bit..They seemed to have been the only one taking it seriously and had the most hype from the audience,,

I only saw their solo songs, dunno know if they performed with anyone else....

I watched the video Implosion uploaded to their YouTube but that's it and based off of their video it was a fucking disaster. Also the time that it was on was fucking bullshit, who the fuck would watch it that late at night. Especially since it ran for about 4 fucking hours. Absolutely bullshit.

>>10938194
An "Idol Duo" based in Brisbane consisting of May and Ruru. They think they're top shit since they have money and are "friends" with "the best idols in Brisbane". The purple one (May) is quite controlling and doesn't know how to tone back the dancing when on stage and often Ruru (pink one) ends up getting sick (even throwing up) before they perform due to how much stress May puts on her and they have to end up pulling out of their performances.

Was anyone else at Nakano Fest Yesterday?
The performance was pretty poor in comparison to Faeble and Hiromi desu.
Im starting to feel tired about Himawari not even try to speak English and overly making things look like a big deal.

>>10938241
Himawari does look like she wants to be seen by the people in Japan more, even though she's in Australia. I don't get why she's in Sydney.

That's why I didn't watch it. No decent performers. There's another one on the 12th & 13th so lets hope that one's better. Although I'm not holding my breath.

>>10938263
Which one is that? there’s a lot of online events popping up nowadays in aus. they’re typically mid at best

>>10938265
the multiverse one

>>10938200
I thought they were good but after seeing and hearing them a few times I was wrong. Pronunciation way off my girlfriend is Japanese she can’t stand hearing them sing because of how bad they pronounce everything
Not to mention their tone
With time and real vocal coaching they could do good.

Faeble grad+auditions announcement last night was a bit wild.

Gotta be some front runners for the spot.

>>10938322
Like who?

>>10938322
Who graduated?

Na-e is probably graduating

>>10938330
Mayhem

>>10938322
Who would you like to see in Faeble now that there is a spot open?
A decent amount of free agents in syd atm

>>10938364
Who's free in Syd community?
Seems like everyone is pretty secured.

Doubt they'd tap Himawari for the spot, seems like Faeble might want consistency now.

>>10938365
Alot more than you think hahah, I sense a great storm brewing in the new year

>>10938365
Defs not Himawari
Now that they have their own group or something. Btw that was confusing as shit. Who is in it????

>>10938633
Is that a group that she's going to be in?
The majority of the video was herself on stage

>>10938632
Regardless of if that prediction is right, right now there aren't many.

Maybe they'll save Coda from being miserable in Bloodrush.

Or pull Noxia in? That might be smart.

>>10938645
Bruh no clue, Himawari is just being vague without a reason.
The idol from Japan, gimmick is starting to sour real fast

>>10938695
I doubt that Noxia will be pulled in, I can't see either of the members fitting in with current Faeble.

Not a knock to Noxia, just a different vibe in general.

>>10938701
Both members pre Noxia fit the vibe though?

Do hope they come back to shows soon. Want to be punched again.

>>10938695
Agree Noxia is a smart idea.

What even happened to Bloodrush are they dead or someshit?

>>10938702
Opinions I guess but I peronally doubt it will happen.

Again neither of them are bad by any means but I just think that their style are reflected through their wants in the idol space.

Lili gives cutesy tsun vibes where as Lace gives little witch cute vibes.

Neither give sentai goofy ass ranger.

>>10938740
Probs dead. They cancelled their live due to health problems. Kinda miss em, I want to stare at Venus's thighs again.

>>10938740
2/3 just seemed to drop off the face of the Earth after their announcement, Coda has been active solo though.

>>10938750
Faeble isn't always that goofy Sentai though.

We got Disco duck, cute Fairy and fox clown.

I can see the cute witch vibes going strong here.

>>10938760
Lace has also performed with Faeble tones of times so I wouldn't be surprised if it was her. However she is apparently on hiatus or some shit because of "health issues".

>>10938763
Oh shit I didn't know it was health issues? Thought it was just some break time. Noxia had a pretty packed schedule for a group that stayed pretty local.

Was pretty sudden though...

>>10938763
Performed with an in a group with is a different beast though, and aesthetically feels like they would overlap I'm the cute department but not at a comparable level to Sunny and Nae in Faeble desu

>>10938769
Tell me your oshiis without telling me your oshiis

>>10938770
Actually my Faeble Oshi is Sunny, with Mayhem being the bias wrecker...

>>10938763
Hasn't lace been coming back to idol shows recently? Very much doubt it's health issues. Probably just had life shit to handle

>>10938839
Feel like they are just getting back into the swing of things, could be health could be life.

Either way would be nice to see noxia back on the stage.

People's Thoughts on the Astarion cos by Azu?

Azutarion can suck my blood anytime

>>10938866
Wouldn't happen to be the schizo poster that keeps bringing her up elsewhere are you?

>>10938868
I don't post anywhere else, infact I don't even know where else people post about Aus Idols.

>>10938865
Weren't they planning on adding a new member? They had an audition post didn't they?

>>10938984
Yeah but been awfully quiet since then

so why is implosion selling “merch” that’s just event photos that they’ve cropped the watermarks out of and not actually credited or paid the photographers for? apparently not the first time they’ve done this and screwed photogs over… disrespectful AND scummy

>>10939114
I agree it's really shitty. Especially since they didn't even credit the photographers in the description of the product description and used stage photos which I am pretty sure are not meant to be used for profit since those photos still technically belong to the photographer.

>>10939144
They don’t even credit the photographers in the captions of their posts. Only the people they’re mates with seem to get credit. Stage photos still belong to the photographer and are usually priced individually to buy the rights to use. But they seem to have shaved all of the watermarks off without permission

>>10939158
Wish someone would call out bullshit like this. I don't even know anyone that would want their merch honestly.

>>10939073
Honestly, hoping Faeble just fold both of them in so they can be in more shows

>>10939170
Noxia and Coda would bring the group back up to five and they would each keep their image colours. Perfect desu.

>>10939174
Although, not sure Lili would make a good Sentai Goofy vibe.

Lace - lil Goofy witch sentai? Call back to of bear purple? Perfect
Coda - spooky ghost Sentai. Not sure what colour would work tho? Take over mayhem?

Look we got some good ops there.

Kinda my frontrunner lineup rn.

>>10939162
I agree, most of Sydney's Idol seems okay with it?

I am a photographer myself and at least the paying groups I shoot, they all tag me. But it does very much piss me off when people don't tag photgs most of the time these are provided free to them, do them the courtesy to tag them.

>>10939232

Honestly, just do the kind and right thing by tagging the creators of the photographs you are posting It’s really not that fucking hard. As for selling photographs that will not taken by you or that You haven’t bought the rights to or even have permission is an absolutely disgusting move shame.

They also sell pins and keychains which are drawn by one of them members. Could you imagine if someone had stolen the art that their member had taken the time to draw? Just how angry they would be. It’s the exact same as them selling someone else’s fucking photography.
The only people who are buying their Merch of their “ Friends“ you only buy their merge out of pity because a real friend would call them out on this horrid move that they are pulling. This is literally a form of theft by taking someone else’s hard work and selling it off as your own I know that a group in Sydney about a year back has sold photos of photographer had taken and they had not gotten permission. Once they were informed of it they did take them all down and bought the rights to a few photos before reselling. That would be the correct thing to do. In this situation. This group are seemingly completely aware that what they are doing is disgusting and yet they are still selling them and acting as if it’s like a luxury to own photos of them that someone else took when let’s be real that is far from a luxury To own Photos of THEM

Disgusting group that can’t get over themselves and think they “famous“ when really they are idling is an art form just like photography and drawing so yes to some extent you are able to create so much but you need to actually be the one creating it in order to profit Someone else’s work selling it is just such a gross thing to do and it makes me so mad to think about it.

>>10939158
This just goes to show that some people don’t deserve to be In the idol community Real idols would support any other hobby , especially those who are kind enough to take photographs for them

>>10939232
Exactly this. It takes nothing to credit on a post especially when the photographer sends you the photos themselves so you can’t complain about ‘not having an @‘. A little common courtesy and brain cells goes a long way. Especially when they haven’t even asked to sell those pictures, let alone pay for them. I know some photogs who don’t even want their images sold as prints even if offered to be bought. Some idols treat photographers so shitty for their own gain

>>10939232
I'd always tag my photographer, even if I got the photos over Facebook I'd put their facebook name there and if I didn't have permission or pay for them there is no fucking way in the seven rings of hell I'd sell them and even if I did pay I'd still ask for permission or ask about what I can do with the photos commercially. It's absolutely disgusting, this is the photographers work and lively hood, word of mouth/ tagging goes a long fucking way and not having that could literally interfere with a photographers business.

>>10939235
Agreed. It's absolutely disgusting and seeing the way they treat people as well is bullshit. They think their shit doesn't stink.

Also, who'd want their merch anyway.
It all looks so bad, like, a 2 year old drew that shit. It just looks so cheap and messy and half of the lines aren't even straight on the artwork.

Seriously if I was that bad at drawing I'd commission someone to do it. But then that'd mean they had to spend money and clearly since they won't pay for photographers they won't pay for that either. But they paid for those shitty ass keychains to be made.

>>10939240
they can’t even pay for proper shoes to perform in let alone anything else. the bar is so low you can get away with putting zero effort into being an idol now and get away with it. It is funny you mention the art when most/all of it is traced and still manages to look like that.

>>10939243
Exactly! Like, you can get sneakers to dance in or even flat shoes, not fuckin crocs. They say it's all about "accessibility" and "their autism" but I'm autistic and I still fuckin wear proper shoes. It's just because they're too trashy to actually get the shoes. I mean one of them looks like a fucking overstuffed sausage in most of the outfits they wear. I'm surprised some of them haven't ripped at the seams from how fuckin tight that shit is.

And if you're going to trace it you need to make sure it is 90% changed or something like that (I struggle with anatomy with art so I kind of understand) but not when the art is that bad while being traced.

Idol Nexus line-up is so ass.

>>10939307
Lol. In what way is it worse than previous ones? All the big groups are there aren't they?

They have now taken down the listing for the prints and have been talked to by most of the photographers that took said photos.
they reached out asking for permission, but not to buy the rights to the images (progress but still dog move) they don’t want to actually pay someone to profit off their work so they hopefully won’t be able to sell them anymore because if they do they legally can be taken to court now since they have been denied being allowed to sell without purchasing the rights to the property.

>>10939317
The big three are there but it's still too much slop to be considered worthwhile.

>>10939318
lol they’re such dogs and cheapskates. who knew you can’t just steal someone else’s work and make money off of it? wouldn’t be the first time and afraid it won’t be the last knowing their shit ass track record. who knew you could keep digging past rock bottom? very entertaining to watch them fumble

>>10939321
Who are the big 3?

Faeble audition sheet up.

Had a look. Has an option for "would you also like to audition for Noxia"

Maybe they are taking Lace and Lili up and keeping the goth vibe space for people

>>10939323
I’m assuming the “big 3” are wooly, faeble and Etude.

358 KB JPG

>>10939322
Especially since they’re not even good idols! So fucking funny that they have now had to remove them. Also the fact that they’re charging $20 for international shipping for bromides when it should be at most $10 is an absolute fucking rip off. Like. For the kinda bullshit they sell. What the actual fuck?!

>>10939337
*that should say “bromides and other things”

>>10939337
“Worldwide fans”… are you sure about that? The delusion you must be infected with. Praying they recover soon and get over themselves

hai fest is probs not coming back after their shitty tour. that cass sama has run away from it & will probs never perform again

>>10939335
By more objective measures, the big 3 are pearlescent, mystic and dreamy

>>10939371
I mean considering how they treated the idols last Hai festival I'm not surprised Cassie stepped away from it

>>10939379
Oh damn what happened at haifes o.o ?

>>10939376
Wtf does that actually mean lmao?

Like define why that would be the big 3?

At least the other bloke made sense

>>10939382
I think they meant physically, kek

Why do women always ruin themselves with tattoos? It’s such a turn off

>>10939445
kill yourself

>>10939445
Hard agree. Belly and nose piercings are awful too

>>10939449
Triggered roastie probably has tattoos and is wondering why no decent men want her

>>10939449
Your tattoos make you hideous. No man will want you

>>10939452
>>10939455
I am not interested in men.

>>10939380
I'll see if I can explain it.

The stage conditions they were originally told: outside in the summer heat on the little uneven concrete stage that is a diamond shape which would be impossible for bigger groups to perform on (they weren’t told about this until like a few weeks before the event) so of course groups complained and some groups dropped out so the organisers offered them to go into one of the rooms that isn’t air conditioned and they would hire out an even smaller stage which literally didn’t help anything. keep in mind this whole time he had the inside stage hired out but wanted to use it for just panellists and the cosplay comp.
Eventually he finally gave in to using the inside stage but not without complaining about the money spent (keep in mind general admission tickets were $24 each and one group alone had 10 people that’s $240 from one group). There’s aircon in the building they used but because they had all the windows open you couldn't feel it so it was very hot. The dressing rooms were even hotter. They also didn’t organise for performers to have any drinks not even water stations were available (or a place to fill up bottles) for both attendees and performers and by the time some people got to the event all the food places had gone (packed up at about 2pm or 3pm but haifest ran until the evening. There was also like 2 shitty little overpriced ones selling $11 for a small Caesar salad)

That's on top of one of the organisers trauma dumping about how much money was spent on it at the first hai fest & the lack of accessibility for those who have mobility issues. Also, while Cassie is a lovely person, Jon (organiser/ announcer i think) just comes across as disrespectful/rude every time I’ve talked to him at different events.

All and all it was a shit show driven by creepy, greedy old men and money hungry assholes.

Anyone else go to the wooly show last night and get a bit disappointed not everyone was on theme as Faeble? Kinda mid show imho.

>>10939557
Yes, and definitely not just abit, was heavily disappointed.
Wooly was a Angel Lolita?
Etude was just in their usual?
Himawari? Yeah let's not get into that.

Other than Faeble being the only people on theme.

Lighting was ass.
And does anyone else notice the shit job Martin does at pressing play on music?

How does one get music Order wrong?
And also mics keep dipping in and out.

Ffs we pay to see a pos such as this?

Can anyone weight in on how the Ofukai went?
They said limited cast and was immediately turned off. Seems like something shady happening in the back ground for not everyone to want to get on board

Why do you keep going? You sound like you dont like his shows desu

what’s the go with himawari

>>10939570
Well I thought this show was a cool concept.
And generally the Girls put on a good show despite the ass production.

But this one was just horrible on all accounts

>>10939583
Just boring, can't understand a thing she wants to say and and she dosent put the effort in learning any English.

And her song has lines in it complaining that we speak too fast? Seems like she wants all of us to learn Japanese just for her so she dosnet have to put in the effort

>>10939563
Dunno bout the Ofukai but I def saw them toss the ofukai goers back out to the lobby before the show...couldn't believe they ran it that close to the show. How are the groups that weren't in on the thing supposed to prep.

Def gotta be why the doors were late.

>>10939600
What's a good example of "good" production though? Genuinely curious

>>10939613
Hi Martin, the call out was quite cute really.

I don't need to tell you what a good show was, you have put on good shows before.
Ur just choosing not to at this point, ur just as bad as Haifest.

>>10939583
I have always wondered what the hype was. Every event I go to ALWAYS has her there, and I get so bored kek

>>10939614
There's no way you're dumb enough to actually self-report to an anonymous post lmao.

Doesn't matter who I am, if you're pulling shit like this and attempting to dox someone for no reason on my end, you're equally as terrible.

I'm asking for an example, yet you point fingers? Give me a break.

>>10939625
Hardly doxxing when "Martin" has been mentioned here numerous times.

He is out here being the comedian of the Idol 4chan board.

Just be sure to leave the clown nose and wig here before you embarrass yourself irl... oh wait

>>10939627
Damn the child fell so low it's resorting to personal insults.

You still haven't answered the question, what's an example of "good" production? As much as I'd love to pander to your bitching, if you don't have any substance to back it up with, where are you even trying to go with it?

>>10939629
Well clearly the ego is hurt.

Considering 4qnq runs half If not more, of the idol shows in Sydney In Sydney I can only reference theatre plays I have seen albeit they are school and college level plays.

Sound-
Consistent volume. Face mics are on when they are supposed to be on, off when they are supposed to be off. I understand there is issues that do arise. So I will forgive the odd instance of it not working out.

Clear and well tuned sound.
On top of the mics being on at the right times which desu should be a baseline minimum.
The actors mics should be corrected to a point where they are able to project at the optimal level without having to shout into the mic to get it to detect or worse (observed in many 4qnq shows) having to hold the mic in the other room and yet still hear the performers whispering about off stage chatter.

Run order.
This is self explanatory.
Imagine the heart breaking moment the hero's mentor dies and you start playing a the heroic victory music. Kills the mood, Kills the vibes. The immersion is broken.

Lighting.

Colour is fantastic! It's a great tool but it's over used. It's just purple or red or pink halves of idols on stage. If we reference any performance done on any musical production. Lighting aids the emotions conveyed by the act, im not saying that every song needs a thought out plan to help create the scene. But less is more, and it's very clear it's too much. I'm here to watch etude or wooly or himawari for that matter perform. Not a 2 tone green purple blob move about on the stage.

Lastly the experience.
I want to leave the hall thinking damn that was a great show/play/movie.
I really wanted to enjoy this show. A great concept in theory. But clearly a poorly executed attempt. I feel cheated in the idea that the cast was meant to be in a the theme and deliver a themed experience. I got very little from the majority of the cast. Outside from a different than usual costume.

It's the role of the producer to ensure a clear adhesion to the theme set out by them it's very much not met here

Big agree with the theming. When only one group adheres to it so much to get staff in on the theme...it's a bit underwhelming

why is everyone so mad? it looks like they tried to do something different, good concept but it didn’t work out? you all don’t have to take it so personally? event organisers can use this feedback to do it properly for next time?

>>10939689
Really sounds like 2 people are mad. Everyone else is just sorta eh.

>>10939689
Just a history of 4qnq not taking their earplugs out when constructive criticism is handed their way. Though hard to say most of this is Cc.

Can we get back to talking about idols though?

Aside from production, how was the performances overall?

And on that note...what is the SameKani thing? Another event organizer? I thought superkani was going ok.

Ok.

Who do you want to see come down from Japan?
Surely theres a decent promoter somewhere...

>>10939729
Performance was ehh, alot didn't seem like they wanted to be there
Overall decent performance by the girls
But nothing special

>>10939729
Performances were fairly routine overall, which is pretty great if you like the usual performances.

I don't recall any of the superkani events, is this not essentially CTRP management operating under a different name? Genuinely confused

>>10939732
Sounds like a good idea on the surface, but what's the big picture? If the expectation is that bringing an underground group down for a couple of days will drive long term engagement with local idols, I have reasons to be a little skeptical, but what do I know.

To try to answer your question more constructively, maybe consider a group with English-speaking members, as this seems to be a common pain point for people

By the end of the year we will see Wooly perform in every single act at an idol box at this rate.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to say only one group adhered to the theme. Wouldn't it feel kinda samey if everyone was doing the same sort of thing? Coda did a song about about Baumkuchen (a kind of cake, fits the tea party theme), Etude did a song called Tea for Two with you, Wooly did 2 Alice in Wonderland themed songs. Obviously Faeble went all in and knocked it out of the park but everyone still adhered to theme in their own way.

>>10939816
I don't think so, some of a theme is not a theme when the theme is wear a tiara and dress or Cape and pants and dance one princessy song. It's a pretty simple theme.

>>10939816
I personally hate it when groups do one off songs even if it "fits a theme" and Faeble is the worst offender in that sense. I hate the stupid encores they do everytime... I don't get the point

>>10939818
Okay got it do the same 4 cute songs even if the theme is rock. Got it

>>10939843
Hunny you probably can't even do one song you don't worry about that

>>10939845
Nope I can't sing or dance, but hey your here with me here on this forsaken forum.

I had fun today :)

I had fun again today :)

>>10940422
Same :)

Nexus 5 had a great vibe and even the newbies did well, 10/10 live

>>10938866
Thoughts on her other cosplay?

>>10941123
Stop bumping the thread with this retarded shit.
Learn to sage.

Who has thoughts on the Burdekin show?
Wasn't able to go

>>10939818
Maybe the meme on core is meant just to be fun?

>>10941285
Encore*

>>10941284
The solo performances were fine but I was a bit disappointed by New Wind and Part of Piece.
Maybe I'm just too used to seeing POP as soloists and they'll grow on me but I don't think I'm going to have any interest in New Wind as a group.

Noxia back in a stage. Hell yeah.

Am I huffing copium thinking that Lace will get drawn into Faeble though guys?

>>10941442

Be for real... do you think shes good enough...

>>10941455
Genuinely, yes. Been following her before Noxia and I actually think she's an unrecognized pillar of the syd comm. On stage and off, always supporting and always giving 100% in the same events some groups can't muster 20%.

I just really enjoyed anytime Faeble and Lace have shared stages so I think it'd be a good fit. But I'm just a guy jamming out in the pit so idk.

>>10941442
Last time I saw her, she was a staff for some group so I don't know if she'll eventually be joining Faeble.

>>10941597
That's what I'm saying. She'd definitely fit the group I think

>>10941457
You should tell her that in person, also Faeble. Idols take this kind of feedback more seriously than you think
