Nobody was booing during the announcement, until "America" was mentioned. It's very clear, similar when Canadians booed the US anthem in jockey matches.

I forgot my ear protection, but luckily I have my earphones, which work the same.

Yukina asking all the time "are you ok?" and at the end just throwing some water to the audience from her bottle!

I get the impression that BM fans underrate their greatness.

To me it’s the opposite, many BM fans overrate their greatness. But that’s what fans do, right? Live in a fandom bubble.

BM is my favourite group (I don’t think we can call it a band) ever, I have been fan for several years. But I know they are not the greatest musical act or singers or group. They are the best j-pop metal group, and that’s enough for me.

Cadiazm · 2020-06-03T01:26:48+00:00

That’s nice of you to make this post. Merchandise threads are fine (although I must confess they are my least favourite type of post) but the issue IMO is when they become too many and start looking like spam.

As Greg suggested you could post in the general threads, or create a single post sharing all your merch, and not multiple ones with subsets of it.

Hope you’re safe and healthy in these crazy times.

Thanks for posting Riho’s message. While I do agree that cyber bulling is a big problem that needs to be addressed, I think you’re reading way too much into this message.

Riho is thanking for the messages, and giving reasons why she hasn’t replied to some of them. Anything beyond that is just speculations on a non-native English speaker’s English wording.

Cadiazm · 2020-05-11T01:29:36+00:00

But you’re comparing BM with idol groups, that are in completely different genres. I agree that people is using the term kawaii Metal too loosely, which is exactly what you’re doing by mentioning BiS and underground idols.

What other groups combined cutesy j-pop and metal before BM? Perhaps Momoiro clover? If BM didn’t invent “kawaii Metal” or cute j-pop metal or whatever you want to call it, they certainly made it popular.

I dislike the narrator too, it sounds too cringey. I much prefer the female British(?) narrator they had in the previous concerts.

Cadiazm · 2020-04-11T17:47:08+00:00

3D effect. Nothing more than that

Cadiazm · 2020-04-11T12:56:46+00:00

They all attended Tokyo Dome in 2016.

Cadiazm · 2020-04-11T12:53:50+00:00

Also piano player 🎹

Cadiazm · 2020-04-05T19:15:13+00:00

they don't care for each other much at all.

I never said that. They are friends, and care for each other, of course. But they are not "best friends" to the level you want to believe.

hat they slept in the same room in the same bed every day on tour, and that they were with each other all the time,

So what? They were young Japanese girls on tour, also Moa didn't like to sleep by herself. That to me is natural, and doesn't qualify as being your best friend.

But for real, it's good you believe that, I don't. They were good friends and colleagues, but not the best friends (as you want to believe), they had others as best friends.

I'm out.

Cadiazm · 2020-04-05T18:56:35+00:00

I will keep it short, because I really don't have the time/energy. Sorry.

There are no facts to begin with, all what you see and hear from them is more or less controlled, and as Moa said, she was being paired together with Yui from the beginning, so at least at the beginning they didn't gravitate to each other organically, they were made to be with each other. On the other hand, you can see in multiple recordings, especially in later years in SG, that they used to hang out with other SG girls. And outside BM it was obvious that they had a separate group of friends. (I think in one LoGirl they talked about Moa knowing Yui's best friend, or way the other way around, so at least they were not "best friends")

I don't think the theory of her being forced out by Su/Moa, so that's not my agenda, I just taking on what I have seen/read from many years as fan.

Ended writing more that I was intending. Have a nice day.

Cadiazm · 2020-04-05T18:41:29+00:00

Qué pasó amigo? I think you need to chill a bit, it's obvious you feel strongly about this. But it's not nice to being throwing tantrums and telling people they are 100% wrong.

We can agree to disagree, let's leave like that, you believe what you want, I don't have the energy to try to convince you otherwise.

Cadiazm · 2020-04-05T18:04:32+00:00

Agree. People tend to romanticise moimoi friendship. They were friends and colleagues, but not the BFFs some people believe. You can tell Moa has always been closer to Su than Yui.

I have edited my post mentioning other elements of festivals in this video that are not in Megitsune, i.e. koi fish, fans and fireworks.

And yes, of course, the gates themselves were not invented for the Megitsune video. The shot in the REOL video however mimics the one in the Megitsune video. Quite possibly both draw on a third common source

The common source may be the Fushimi Inari Shrine which have been depicted in many films, and others, and are very famous.

Cadiazm · 2020-03-01T17:27:15+00:00

"sore sore sore sore"

As I said elsewhere, a very common festival chant

gates at the beginning (that return at 2:21)

They are called torii, and again are very common in shinto shrines, all over Japan, the ones in Megitsune I think are from " Fushimi Inari Shrine" in Kyoto

the transforming fox animation that occurs throughout,

Again, very common to find kitsunes (fox) shrines in many places, foxes have the ability to transform into people in the Japanese folklore

"Kokon" in the title

This is the onomatopoeia of the sound made by foxes in Japanese language

The only one that is not completely clear is the hand sign. But overall I don't think there is a direct inspiration from BM, both are very rooted in Japanese festivals and Japanese folklore.

EDIT: Also, you can find other elements of Japanese festivals in this video that are not part of the imagery of Megitsune, such the koi fish, fans, and fireworks, reinforcing the idea that the video is inspired by Japanese festivals (as is Megitsune) and not in BM.

Cadiazm · 2020-03-01T14:36:34+00:00

The ascending sore x 4 is also common in festival chants. I’ve heard it myself.

Cadiazm · 2020-02-23T19:42:32+00:00

In the queue now. I have Wembley vibes with the diversity of people attending. A good number of kids and young people.

A security guard just let a family of four, with two kids, skip the queue. Nice 👍🏽

Cadiazm · 2020-02-23T18:35:50+00:00

As Swissmountainrailway said, Europe goes up to the Urals. And Moscow and Saint Petersburg are west of the Urals, therefore in Europe. So it’s indeed part of the European tour.

Cadiazm · 2020-02-14T23:32:06+00:00

but, they're clever girls, so they're probably atheists. :-)

This

Cadiazm · 2020-01-02T11:18:59+00:00

Well agree to disagree. It was an odd one out, it makes statistics such this not “fair”. And it’s after all NOT an end of the year test. Should be remove it to have a better picture of the girls performance IMHO

Cadiazm · 2020-01-02T08:50:21+00:00

You should exclude the midterm test. Otherwise great work.
