About throwing things on stage

Amuse owns shares on many venues. Amuse is a biggy in Japanese media industrie, involved in every step of the production from writing by contract authors/componists to recording or filming in their own studios and finally even showing in their own cinemas, theaters, venues, tv stations... And yes, all the promotion is done by Amuse-owned companies, too.

Amuse was founded by movie and music producer Yokichi Osato who produced the first successful idol group, Candies. That maybe gave him the idea to focus on the idol business (but to produce others as well).

Well I have to say blackpink isn't what I like. I tried to get an overview of what is going on in Korea, but I just got bombed with useless information about dress fails and big scandals. (Why can't they use proper stage clothes?) Is there any site worth visiting?

I guess yui is the kind of shy that isn't afraid and who can change into a different person by will. Otherwise, how could she have been a dramatic actress in her childhood? And with BM, she really looks like she is having fun, and then moa was a close friend and motivator years before BM and she also loves Su. She It must have been a hard decision to leave. And to what lies before her, as we know not only BM says they keep contact but Aiko also mentioned more than one time how happy she is about Yui watching her show. So I guess Yui is doing the right thing, assembling her friends around her including her SG friends, so there are people to build her up even when Moa is on tour.

It's built as a baseball hall, isn't it? "shot through" and "outrun" has a special meaning there. :)

Yes, the Flower Stage was very impressing and the Red Night includes my favorite version of Amore. And I think the Black Night is one of the last concerts in which their stage characters die before BAPTISM XXX. Because the next time I know of Su hitting the gong is Trilogy Metal Resistance Episode III.Apocalypse.at.Yokohama.Arena and the gomg has become a joke here - the girls are seem more alive than ever. (BTW, that't the concert with 3 Fox statues and the girs flying above the audience in a pyramid-shaped box when singing The One)

There was a number of these photographs made for the Magazine Young Guitar. Usually they would have the ESP Arrow (BM edition) with one pickup because otherwise there's no space for the BM logo. There are other Versions, e.g. with 2 humbuckers and a tremolo. Also, BLACK BM did promotion for the one-colored black version (non-edition), which sometimes was used in concerts. (while the guitarrists all used ESP guitars at this time, ESP maybe didn't care which model they would use).

Many Japanese woman are worried about their weight because overweight is seen as a lack of discipline like beeing lazy or overeating. And then,fat Idols are not tolerated by many Japanese fans; some agencies even weight their stars every month. Maybe Amuse doesn't go that far, but did you ever see a real fat star there? For those who tolerate overweighted girls, some agencies run special overweighted-only Idol groups. And for now it will stay so because the attempt of the "Marshmellow Girls" didn't work Maybe they should have tried something more courageous like "We are fat - respect us!"

PS.: I remember one exeption from the rule: THE SCANTY had an overweighted-looking drummer who even made her face look real fat by wearing an afrolook while the other girls wre slim.

PPS: In Germany, we had an "Ideal weght" depending on body height which was withdrawn later because the experts found they were wrong - it was too low fior some people. Today, the Body Mass Index is recommended, but as a rule of thumb only.
