Animaga 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 It’s always this weird outdated 2006 deviantart vibe.See picrel for that weird deviantart aesthetic vs more popular korean aesthetic.

I 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…

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.

Personally I like both korean and japanese music in multiple genres, and both k-idols and j-idols and both countries have a pretty vibrant music scene. K-pop does actively promote itself internationally a lot more than the jpop industry. And because of that work kpop has grown a big fanbase overseas. But for whatever reason that fandom participation has focused almost entirely on recreating the choreo instead of the vocals from their favorites. And it's not to say that jpop isn't without its share of generic slop. There are dozens and dozens of mid generic fluffy costume, simple bubbly love song j-idol groups out there that are invisible to the international audience.

Thread is probably quiet because personal attacks are being rerouted to other channels, with much more serious consequences.I'm quite certain that heads will continue to roll. Some of this is maybe deserved to a certain degree, but idk, I don't know enough of the background of most of this and I have significant doubts.Feels like all I can do at this point is pray that me and the remaining people I care about will make it through in the end. Key perpetrators are among these people, so it's a difficult and stressful situation.

There are other avenues for your local groups if you feel like you are getting shafted. Have you tried running a group panel or contacting the organisers to book a panel room just for melbs idols to perform all day? I'm sure if every group put in like $100 each, you could probably book a venue and make up the rest with cheki sales and tickets. Don't rely on just conventions to be able to perform, especially if you want to seriously pursue idol as a hobby/job.

why is there so much in fighting in the idol scene. aus music scene in general doesn’t have that problem…i would like it if we could one day be treated as a genuine part of the music scene but idk if that would be possible with all the toxicity and drama that goes around.i wish everyone would see each other as equals with something each to offer instead of seeing everyone else as “competition”

I saw some AI slop show is looking for idols on instagram that somehow managed to get some pretty high-profile voice actresses onboard. I hope no group seriously considers tanking their reputation by performing there.

Well 4qnq won't be at that event, that's all I can say. Idols won't even be the main focus of that event it seems like.
