I'm sure perfume will pack it up and graduate any day now, amirite?

[GetRapper]

Yeah I find it funny that people think Perfume are not idols.  They definitely started out as such and I've heard on at least one occasion where A-Chan still considers herself one.

It's so irritating how they do everything in English now. We get it, you want to expand your international success. But why does Koba feel the need to make them speak English even to Japanese audiences? Whether it's promotional videos or during concerts...it's all English mostly. 

Is it? I've noticed Su has started using English at concerts but seems like Moa and Yui still mostly use Japanese. But that's just what happens when you have the chance to become a global group they start aiming at foreign audiences. Su uses English a lot more and seems like they even had her teeth straightened probably to make her more appealing in America where perfectly straight white teeth are more desirable. Most Japanese fans probably think her English speaking is cool anyway. .

People think Perfume aren't idols because they aren't anymore, that's how thay could achieve such large recognition in japan.

Interesting choice to have zero west coast dates, and three in Texas.

 

I go to school within walking distance of Revention. I might go.

[Shells]

Heads up, it looks like tickets are on sale a tad early. I bought one for Atlanta and the pre-sale code was BM2018 on Ticketmaster! The BABYMETAL Reddit has a lot of info too if that doesn't work (I know there were a couple of other pre-sale codes floating around earlier).

[洋hiromi水]

So, anyone going to the concerts in Europe?   

I haven't bought the tickets yet, but I wanna go to their live in Innsbruck, Austria. 

 

I have never seen them live before, though, so... even though I live on the other side of Austria, I think it's worth traveling a few hours. 

[Ahornbjörn]

BM always does their big announcements on April 1st (Fox Day.. get it?). They even announced having a big announcement today months ago.

[wahodes]

People in the comments section are speculating this means they are going to acknowledge the Kami Band as official members of the the group..? I wonder how that would change things tbh...

 

I'm honestly just dying for a new album

Amuse recruited DreamCatcher to join the metal resistance.

[Scaphism]

J-pop = Good
K-pop = Bad

 

DreamCatcher has 7 members...

 

Yup, totally checks out.
