Buh duh bah bah bah, I'm lovin' it.

Nice! She has a very specific worldview and artistic vision and it's really nice to see something different like that coming out of the idol world.


They're releasing a memorial book to commemorate the group before Eimi leaves (and possibly before they add anyone else). The first press comes with a ton of bonuses for anyone interested.

i've really wanted to get into dempa for a while now, especially since i already know and love nemo and wanna get to know the rest of the group (+ reading about their history in the article lurkette translated was so cool lol), but besides having their recent album downloaded i don't really know their discography, so uhh any song/album recs are appreciated! i just don't know where to start lol so i really appreciate any recs :')

^ "World Wide Dempa" album is a masterpiece.

[Lurkette]

^ This is probably the best place to start. Anything released earlier than that isn't really performed anymore, although they have retired songs from that album as well. 

 

I will say that these are the songs that got me into Dempa in the first place, as well:

I've plenty of new favorites since, but this is where it started for me.

[rurupedia]

ooh i'll definitely check out that album then! oh and i listened to the songs u posted, i really loved all of them but my favorites are sakura apparition and not bocchi natsu! ty for the recs, as soon as i can i'll check out the album too :3

[mubs]

^ oooooo I also recommend listening to neo japonism and vandalism, those songs r rly hype 

 

also Mirin released this game where you have to take a cheki with members of dempagumi and its really hard LOL https://www.tv-asahi...n1/games/cheki/

[rurupedia]

tysm! i think i heard neo japonism a while back, don't really remember it that well tho so i'll definitely check it out along with the other song lol

5 new members jfc, fun to be getting into the group at this time lmao. rito looks so awesome!!! i also like aozora, she's cute. hoping for a debut release for them soon!!

[gobzilla]

Is this Aikawa Kozue the former DANCEROID member? Isn't she like 30?

[Lurkette]

^ Correct. Dempa has never cared about age, it is irrelevant to being an idol. 

[gobzilla]

I think I remember her saying in an old interview that she auditioned for Momusu 6ki so I'm happy she finally gets to be part of a mainstream group. I might start following Dempa thanks to her.

[Lurkette]

I'm most interested in Hinata, mostly because she seems really chaotic but also because she's baby (her DearStage profile says she's 14).

Dempa also posted a clip of their new song, Princess Dempa Power! Shine on!

i literally did not realize that was aikawa kozue until a few minutes ago and i have to say my internal grade school vocaloid stan is NOT having a normal one rn over that lmao it's so surreal!!! i grew up watching kozue dance covers (for non weebs she did the iconic luka luka night fever choreography) and now she's in dempagumi... well now i'm basically forced to stan them lol. i love this new lineup!!! 10 members is a lot but that new song and performance is so fun and the new girls fit in so well. also mirin performing while pregnant AAAAAAAAA she's a legend!!!!

[Lurkette]

Kozue has also been active on YouTube still. She uploaded an anniversary cover of Luka Luka Night Fever in August (and liked the comment "WE BACK BOIS" which made me laugh harder than it should have).

 

[rurupedia]

i haven't kept up with her new stuff (or much of anything vocaloid & especially odorite related tho i check out some stuff still) but that anniversary cover is just so nostalgic lol, i love her so much i'm definitely gonna support her in dempa now :'D also slightly off topic but i just realized mirin and hinata have a 20 year age difference god this group is amazing lmfao
