nice intro into "alt idol" with a short part about Momoclo:
Cool. A journalist who actually knows what he's talking about, explaining the Japanese idol scene in English. This might be a first.
For those of you who need extra motivation to watch the video: he says really nice things about Momoclo...I mean REALLY nice things. Starts about 7 minutes in.
Discussing the "Blast!" PV I was thinking about who should represent Japanese music culture in the opening ceremony of the 2020 Olympics. Let's say you had to nominate six acts/collabo segments who would that be?
From the top of my head I would go as follows I admit here's a lot of personal preferences involved and I may change that thinking about it a bit more:
a) Ayumi Hamasaki & Gackt b) Ikiminogakari c) Shiina Ringo d) SMAP (revived for the event) & Arashi e) Gospellers & Little Glee Monster and of course f) AKB48 & Momoclo
