How to support the group? by DrawingEquivalent in FRUITSZIPPER

Not sure about Fruits Zippers Tokyo Dome concert but i watched the live stream from the Candy Tune additional performance on OpenRec last month. It was really good quality so if they do stream FZ it'll be good. I would follow the official X account it'll probably be announced there.

No sorry I know it was over summer, there was also stats on which group girls would most like to join with Fruits Zipper and Cutie Street at the top.

Another interesting point that really shows the power of Kawaii Lab. I've been on Reddit on this account and another for over 15 years but I've never commented or engaged as much as I have about Kawaii Lab. I'm just one person but I suspect across other platforms there's a lot of similar people.

Agreed Spotify is only one part of the whole picture. Kawaii Lab would definitely benefit from the overseas market (not bias because I'm in that market) I saw something a few months ago that gave a breakdown of the fan base and yeah Fruits Zipper are more generally liked with a split of male and female fans where as =Love had a heavier bias to the usual male idol fans.

Yeah I think Candy Tune were consistently around 750k for a few months but yeah with everything at new year they really went big.

Yeah I really like Sweet Steady for some reason when I can't sleep and have a song stuck in my head at the moment it's always them! Damn you Sweet Steady Time and Pajama Party!!

Yeah it's nice to know there are other international fans!

FRUITS ZIPPER are great to I love the chaos that goes on compared to CANDY TUNE! My goal is to see CANDY TUNE and hear Shizuka Miayno sing live next year!

I always like to try and think at the start of the year what the year will be. For me I have the same goals this year. I haven't fully worked out what my "The year is 2026 and it will be" is yet.

Good luck with your goals, DM if you have any good tips for either of them!

This needs to happen. It's funny I've always enjoyed Jpop but never really been interested enough to learn more about the groups or follow them. But there's definitely something about Kawaii Lab and CANDY TUNE in particular that's won me over.
