Never in my lifetime did I expect to see my beloved AKB48 being mentioned in the news over here in England. Never did I expect to see them featured so heavily in the Japanese media as they have been for the last eighteen months or so for that matter. I can’t help but feel an [...]

There’s something about idol music that makes it more epic than any other when you hear it being played on piano on guitar, well maybe not for most people but I’m not most people. Having an entire orchestra perform these tunes isn’t something I really though I’d ever hear but I’ll glady eat my hat [...]

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything in this place, almost a whole year. People say that time flies when you’re having fun, well I musttn’t have been having much as it seems a lot longer ago than that since I was last here. Strange that I should begin on such an apathetic [...]

Here’s an audio rip of A6 that was revealved on 27th July. Enjoy and all that stuff. Track list: 00. Miniskirt no Yosei 01. Mokugekisha 02. Zenjin Mitou 03. Ibitsu na Shinju 04.

I don’t know how they’ve done it but they have. I didn’t think this group could surprise me any more with the sheer nerve they have at pushing the boundaries of fan service and this is certainly the furthest I’ve ever seen them go with it. I don’t want to spoil anything for those who [...]

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched any of the stages and that’s because AX is usually my own version of Christmas and I get far more excited over that. Plus, I never actually seem to be in one of my phases of actually caring about the band and so just get hold of [...]

Okay, so I found this out over at IXA Ready and I was both surprised and pretty damn amused too. Turns out some random Japanese metal band by the name of STUDIO BURNING is doing a sort of power metal cover album of seven AKB48 songs. Samples are over at the website so get yourself [...]

It isn’t very often I get shocked by goings on in the idol world any more. Usually if it’s some sort of scandal it doesn’t bother me so much as it will either be about a girl I don’t care about or I’ve gotten used to heartbreak after the infamous Kago Ai Friday affair. Of [...]

So with the recent Senbatsu elections we’re given a new single in super quick time just like this time last year with the abomination that was Iiwake Maybe. So, will the song be as bad this time around? Well, see for yourself as z3144228III has been kind enough to upload a radio rip of the [...]

So I’ve been around in the idol community on the net for around four years now and I’ve finally come to realise something. I don’t like it. In fact my level of dislike has become so great that I can’t stand to visit many idol related sites and forums to discuss some of my favourite [...]
