/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Thank you for making me so happy! I am very grateful for this warm feeling inside! I will not forget!

If someone had asked me just three years ago, I would have said that these sort of groups were for creepy old men, and was "fake" music.

But if you think about it, who gives a fuck about all the labels; "real music", "fake music", or whatever else. I mean, as long as watching the performance makes you happy, that's all that matters right? Besides, if you watch their performance and think there is something sexualized about it, then you're the one with a problem.

Another thing is that they are very accessible, unlike Babymetal's fucking management who won't even let us see the girls for a split second disembarking their tour bus more than 100m across a parking lot.
They said they would be making an appearance at the Moshi Moshi Nippon booth at 5pm, and I was trying to find the booth but could only see the booth was one that was giving away free miso soup at set times throughout the day, and I was like "surely I heard wrongly, this can't be the booth", but they actually showed up there.

I knew they would have a photo op, but I never expected them to be serving miso soup to their fans. It was so bizarre. Akarin handed me the plastic bowl with the vegetables and stuff in there, then Moe-chan handed me the spoon, then Nonoka put the soup in my bowl. It was super weird in a good way. People get selfies and autographs or hi-touches with the artists they are fans of, but to be served miso soup by? Lol I don't even know what to feel. Do they do these kind of stuff in Japan too?
Still I will say this; I'm not an idol fan or a wota. Honestly, the appeal of idols to me is only because they're a novelty in Singapore; at most 15 groups play here in a year, if I lived in Japan where I have a pick of 100 groups every week I probably won't even give a single shit. But I don't, so that's that. (lol, my heart shape failed, it looks more like a fucking pear. But hey, I don't have any experience in doing such cutesy poses.)
