>Animaga - did you enjoy the idols?>A-MUSE announced as guests at Animayhem Brisbane>Upcoming lives: Neonism and Patopi bar concept, Azusa grad, SeiPro two-man, Himizu one-man. Which one are you looking forward to?>What idols have you been listening to recently?
>>10969197Animaga was pretty solid. There were some audio issues, but that didn’t really feel like the idols fault. I keep forgetting Amuse is still around. I think they’ve been doing some K-pop stuff lately? I haven’t really kept up.Not totally sure what’s going on with the 4qnq lives. It sounds like a mix of offkai and live shows? Could be interesting though.Azusa graduating kind of hits. It’s sad to see them go, but I’ve actually been liking the Sunny and Coda duo more than I expected. Curious if Faeble will do more auditions.Himizu hasn’t really clicked for me so far. I still like Kim more in Reveil. The group feels a bit too similar to others, and bringing back an old Ctrp song felt like baiting the pit. For music, I’ve been listening to Lace’s single a bit, it’s pretty good. Love Chord’s is nice too, even if the mixing could’ve been better. Neonism coming back has been great, I’ve missed their original songs. Would be cool if they re-recorded stuff with the new lineup.
Why is it always j-idol stuff, and never k-idol?Honest question, not trying to be mean, but are you guys into the frilly dresses and kawaii songs? I always thought k-pop idols seemed far more interesting.I’m just trying to understand the appeal. Korean culture seems far more modern and up to date with current consumer expectations.I don’t want to be a dick, but all these people seemed to be into a uniquely ugly aesthetic which I’m only reminded of when my weeb friends suggest going to a show or going to smash. It’s not just idol performances, but also the promotional material, and things outside of their work like cosplay, videos, and even games they develop. It all has this uniquely ugly lolita/kawaii aesthetic which I thought died out 2 decades ago, yet it’s still here.Why can’t there be a k-idol scene where people have nice bodies, wear waist-high shorts, and perform songs with a beat that slaps with good vocals? It’s always this weird outdated 2006 deviantart vibe.See picrel for that weird deviantart aesthetic vs more popular korean aesthetic.
>>10969237 Nice ragebait very entertaining desuTake your nonsense to the actual kpop thread unnieI'll see you there
>>10969237It'd be much easier to larp as a K-idol.> Shave jawbone> Don't bother learning to sing, you don't need it> Shein haul> Dance to AI noise trackRetarded take if genuine.
>>10969240>Doesn’t have an actual argument, labels it as ragebait and continues to make an ugly outfit with large belts and baggy pants>>10969245I naturally have a k-idol jawline, and even AI slop sounds better than the backing tracks for j-pop.Also I don’t actually know what shein is. I’ve never been poor enough to actually look it up.
Let's just not interact with the kpop weirdo>>10969208Big agree with a lot of this.Feel like Sunny is a bit cursed with new gens at this point. Hopefully Sunny/Coda gen can maintain and exceed Faeble2 quality. Reveil Kim > Himizu Kim. I hope they can balance the workloads but Kim been pushing Himizu. Do we think Smash stage gunna be better than Animaga? Someone gotta fix those audio bugs that where everywhere.
>>10969262>Feel like Sunny is a bit cursed with new gens at this point. Hopefully Sunny/Coda gen can maintain and exceed Faeble2 quality.For real, poor Sunny lmao. I feel like they will struggle for a bit as two but they have been pushing a new sound that I like more than what Gen 3 debuted with. >Reveil Kim > Himizu Kim. I hope they can balance the workloads but Kim been pushing Himizu.I have a feeling she's leaving. I don't see why Reveil would hold auditions otherwise.
>>10969197I only went Sunday. I wonder how they choose who gets their own set and who is in the Showcase? The only set that was genuinely bad was Zero. She travelled interstate for that…
>>10969237Plastic surgery is too expensive down under, can't go full K without the look ya know?
Did this thread disappear for a bit? Anyone have a link to the previous one
>>10969306Warosu.. and sage your shit. >>10969273Hard agree on Zero. That Aisola was hard to watch.
>>10969268Damn, but you right though. Himizu going hard on dedicated merch. I'd have prefers them be a once every so often group, always kinda cool to see idols go outside their group...But means we're gunna get less Juju solo (which bangs) and possibly no Reveil Kim? Worst trade deal Hopefully they can change my opinion with their live.
Anyone got the context on Martin's latest tweet?"In light of recent experiences. I will be enforcing new rules at events, and talking to all organisers to ensure that we are doing things to the same standard as other niche communities. (E.g. J-core/Aniraves).Going forward, I will be rolling out zero-tolerence to any abusive, disrespectful behaviour from anyone in this scene. This applies to the performers too, inside and outside my company.Staff, Producers, and other fellow performers in this scene are doing it for the love of the game at this point. Most people do not get a stipend either, so it's entirely for the love of the game at this point.Of course context is sometimes important, but many of us, including me are doing this as volunteers, and we often don't see a single cent to our own name.It's affected my mental health, and I have not been able to put my best foot forward at all. It's disappointing, and nearly a decade into doing this stuff, I am disappointed that I have to act this way finally. Onto a better future!!"I actually agree with him here, I'm just nosey.
>>10969425I’ve seen that idol yell at Martin before, so I kinda get where he’s coming from.
can the nonnie from last thread expand on the contract shit. gathered which group it was about (cutie angels, formerly cutie angles) and which member leaked it (stella) but what the fuck is going on. so they've got all the chinese girls from a cosgroup and hina is running this with her boyfriend and plans to hold any money made and made all the girls sign contracts. are they making money? why did only stella choose to leave? how many girls are in the group i've counted 5 so far? kristy, nonsweet manager and a neonism member follow them so that's how the account was suggested to me and the self-posting in the last thread obvs. i've never seen anything like this in the scene.
