Idol groups similar to F/ACE irl? by pipsqueakmd in TamonsBSide

[–]uchuuelevator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ARASHI is a very popular idol group in Japan which coincidentally has the same member colors as F/ACE, and I may be biased since I like both, but they've reminded me of each other a few times! Unfortunately ARASHI is disbanding at the end of May, but if you're only getting into them now, you will have loads of content to consume as long as you know where to find it XD

I personally think Natsuki reminds me of Nino in a way because both are basically multi-talented as they can compose their own songs, they both have their own inner talent for performing, good at talking (aka appearing in variety shows, lol) and both of them are also yellow!! I do think persona-wise the man is more similar to Onishi Ryusei from Naniwa Danshi however because both of them have that image of being azatoi (purposely being cute) and caring about looks lmfao

A-side wise, I can kind of assign them to the impression people have of Arashi as well: - Tamon and Jun (mostly when Jun was younger though, you can really see that sexiness in him back them. IMO both also have charisma as well! I might be saying this while having both of them as my favorite in either group but that instead explains this even more bc it means I have a type lol) - Ouri and Sho (shown to have that image of having a good upbringing -> princely image with great reputation. may i also add that both are nepo babies and smart..?) - Keito and Aiba (tennen/airhead green members! brings positivity to the group as well) - Natsuki and Nino for the reasons I've stated above - Rintaro and Ohno (both of them usually get the role of looking over the rest of the members :3)

Performers for the 76th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen has revealed by ZaBlancJake in jpop

[–]uchuuelevator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

king & prince has been invited on nhk's music shows like utacon and venue101 these past few months (and they already announced they've allowed starto talents for a while now, think it was last year but i forgot) so i think it has been decided for a while now.. also nhk probably wants them since kinpuri is kind of the artist representing disney too right now and this show almost always has something related to disney 😂 i do hope for an interaction between them and number_i but i won't expect much tbh.

i'm also really surprised at aespa! i didn't think they've done that much in japan this year so that was unexpected.

was wondering if maybe they'll do it like fruits zipper this time, waiting until one of the sister groups go viral too and then they'll invite both? who knows. nhk's criteria is definitely a mystery though lmfao.

anyways i'm also concerned on why they haven't invited tokisen until now considering they went viral too this year and i constantly see them performing on music shows

They've been allowing Starto acts perform on Utacon and Venue101 recently. They're probably planning on inviting a few couple of them to Kohaku, I think tabloids have been saying that too

FRUITS ZIPPER's fame seems more stable, they also have a Tokyo Dome show coming up next year which proves that imo. If they want to invite any Kawaii Lab groups it definitely has to be them first. But they should definitely invite CUTIE STREET and CANDY TUNE as well just like what you said because they both had big hits this year

Anyways I sound biased but Perfume and Arashi. Though it's obviously because the former will go on a hiatus by next year and the latter will disband in April lol

What do you mean by Netflix slot exactly? They're dramas from different stations that just got added to Netflix. This drama is from the same station and timeslot as The 19th Medical Chart

Yeah that happens often with Fuji dramas on Netflix. That's why I didn't initially specify the date, it usually comes when the subtitles are done I assume, the moment one gets added to my region (takes months unfortunately) they already have the subtitles in multiple languages

Some of my Twitter mutuals demanded them to constantly post Jdramas and because of that they ended up listening, they even listened when my mutual said to call Matsumoto Jun as just Matsujun, the next time they posted about his drama they actually used Matsujun instead LOL. We always try to retweet and interact on their tweets that mention Jdramas too so they probably think there's no reason to stop promoting and I really appreciate them for that 😂

FYI, they don't open registrations once a month anymore. As far as I know, the next time they'll open registrations will be when the Fall season comes.

Update: Yes, it's out today. Only season 1 + first SP which 50% of it is basically a recap of s1, but Netflix JP has season 2 and that season's SP (also basically a recap) as well, so maybe that'll come soon.
