Both the idolfest and Idolspace acts seem to be pretty good this year. This is my second year at Otakon and I'm excited to actually check the idols out this year.

Anon07/20/26, 17:53No.10973811

are idols in multiple groups common anymore? it seems like being spread across several projects could make it difficult to take any one of them seriously.

Jesus Christ I'm so sick of roro being force fed to people in every next stage event

Anon07/22/26, 12:29No.10973870

Roro are a talented duo with fun original music, someone hates them out of jealousy because theyre getting themselves out there. Sucks to be you.

Has anyone seen Hazel from MagiaNote recently? Hazel has always needed to clear her image properly as an "idol" but she needs to do so more than ever because of her recent posts. I have no problem with idols speaking up about mental health but her posts are just very messy and all over the place.

I think I'm officially over the kaigai idol community.I really convinced myself it could become something bigger than what it is. There are still people I like and a few performers I think have real potential, but the community as a whole just feels like one giant hugbox. Say literally anything about improving as a performer and suddenly you're the villain. Apparently expecting someone to sing on pitch and dance on beat while performing in front of an audience is asking for professional-level talent now.People always say everyone is "doing their best," and sure, maybe they are. That doesn't magically make the performances good. A lot of the music is painfully average. Unimpressive in the looks department. Half the personalities blur together because everyone is chasing the same vibe and no one wants to offend anyone.The funniest part is that it doesn't even seem like people care about building actual fans. Everyone just wants approval from other idols, wota, and event organizers. It's one big circle of people hyping each other up for no real reason.And don't even get me started on the clout chasing. Why am I seeing wota selling acrylic stands of themselves? That's genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I know Japanese wota have their own popularity contests, but I really expected Americans to be less weird about it. Guess not.At the end of the day, it feels like artistry comes last. Music comes last. Performance comes last. The social club comes first.Turns out I gave this community way more credit than it deserved. Baka desu me.

If i wanted to see people just dance i would watch dance groups not dancing cosplayers that call themselves idols

Anon07/26/26, 03:26No.10973987

Can we get a decent conversation going? What Idolspace stages look worth it for Ota. Going to Anibeat, Now Presenting is always hit or miss, I might skip this year. A lot of the Idolspace stuff looks to be newer idols/groups? Anyone worth the watch?

idols and shitty behavior go hand in hand

Anon07/31/26, 12:19No.10974158

I'll try to say this nicely, because I used to really love the KaiGai community but I fully agree with the fact that it has felt completely stagnat, and that some are larpers.Instead of a community trying to grow itself, it feels like a "you have to keep in line" monthly friendship talent show. (All a facade btw). There are a few that I feel like have gotten better at performing, but they put to much into other areas or trying to also prop up their friends instead of putting real money and effort to become something more.I blame inclusive liberalism.

Anon07/31/26, 23:23No.10974190

Ugh not Jenny Hayes creating an independent idol event next year like she's a fucking messiah. I wish she'd disappear

Anon08/01/26, 01:28No.10974202

I like the kaigai idol community but just like some people here are saying, there are TONS of larpers. Such as those whom call themselves idols when they just cosplay and dance on stage. I just wish they would use the correct title for themselves like "Cosplay dancer" or something. It's annoying when you go to an idol festival and all you see are cosplayers dancing and sometimes you got people who aren't even trying to dance good or look good. It's horrible. But there are good idols and idol groups here, but in the specific area I am in I see too many larps getting into idol fests. I don't think many kaigai idols realize that being an idol is more than singing and dancing.

Anon08/03/26, 15:45No.10974363

after seeing leo at otakon, i really think they have a lot of potential. strong image, stable singing, high quality costume and good visuals. i don't know why they aren't more popular

Anon08/04/26, 00:14No.10974390

A lot of the otakon performances across the board were solid actually imo, pleasantly surprised

Anon08/04/26, 01:59No.10974392

I was surprised about Nocturna. I was expecting something mediocre, but they did pretty good. They have great vocals and good sync.

With all these idol events at Metrocon, Otakon, US Idol Fest, etc. I'm curious about the pros and cons of audio, setup, and scheduling. Which conventions are the best and worst for performing?

what's the point of trying to be a jpop idol but like filling up your whole timeline with kpop stuff? couldn't find a way to monetize and fund your kpop obsession. also it makes you come off as a zillennial which is way to old to be unemployed and wearing pig tails.

Anon08/12/26, 15:29No.10974774

A good portion of "idol fans" are actually just Asayoru Maid cafe fans. They will only go to events that has Moe Age in it. Which i can't really blame because there arent that many good groups and Asayoru is the biggest feeder in SoCal when it comes to idol events.But because they are the biggest feeder it doesnt mean they are a fan of idols. They are just using idols to grow their brand and image. In reality they dont give a fuck about you.

Anon08/14/26, 19:00No.10974859

The Florida idol comm looks like its going to dig itself into a grave before it can even go anywhere. It is unbeleveable to sit and watch cosplayers egg on a Kaigai focused events like they think they deserve a place in every evnet. Its sad to see how Mikan LIve Productions is handling the situations but even more disapointing that it looks like its all coming from Nexts Stage and there staff. There is no hope for the Kaigai scece let alone the cosplay scene. Florida should let itself fizzle out and die pff

Anon08/15/26, 01:52No.10974865

Cosidols are always so entitled. They all expect to get into every event, and when they don't, they cry and whine and shout exclusion. It's embarrassing. Convention idol events have turned into cosplay meetups instead of actual shows, the point being to have as many participants as possible so nobody's feelings are hurt, instead of putting on a good show.

Anon08/15/26, 02:00No.10974868

If an idol wants to perform at a convention, they should be working on their portfolio and image so they're seen as professional enough to be brought on as a performance guest. Kaigais can perform anywhere they want to if they put in the effort. Cosplay idols are restricted to only conventions.

Anon08/15/26, 20:14No.10974903

>> 10974902 any proof to back up this claim, I’d love to join on this but rather jt not be baseless you have to to back it up take a sec and check both stories. Roadkill is obviously reading these boards and the obese Nocturna cow posted from the hospital lmfao

Anon08/15/26, 23:11No.10974924

anyways did you guys see chiri girls are performing in atlanta?

Anon08/15/26, 23:20No.10974925

Roadkill is in their 30s and should know better than to embarrass themselves by revealing that they read the board. Mikan is acting pretty badly, but Nocturna is girls in their early 20s. I thought Guilty Pulse was mature, but they're spending their Saturdays lurking the board. Pretty sure they were the ones in the QnA saying Mikan's apps was similar to Next Stage. Mikan needs to get a new social medias girl. How can they be expected to run an event when they can't even ignore anon hate. All of this is so messy and bitchy.

east coast thinks their idol community is developed but you don't have two different competing idol events being held in the same venue. at the same time. like how california does.

Fairly obvious that RinRinBunny is capping the vip at the shows she’s doing at a super low number. Why is WSF even in Florida for her of all people? Pengy makes sense, Pengy is a worth it Idol. All RinRinBunny does is beg for money on the internet and play fake at being a cripple

Anon09/02/26, 23:59No.10975474

WSF grabs up whatever idol is making dough so they can sell tickets more reliably at shows. It's obvious Rin Rin got picked out of the bunch by them. They sell tickets, merch, and get Throne gifts constantly. It'd be stupid not to take them, especially since there's a community being established down in Florida right now with Pengy Party and whatever Mikan does.

Anon09/06/26, 17:49No.10975692

Rose's sudden graduation from Asayoru is pretty interesting to say the least. I would be happy to see Oyasumimi no longer associated with them. The group was doing well on its own, would be funny if they become special guests in other maid cafes
