I love Satan

>>12953298
It's not the sign of Satan, it's a fox sign!

I had a dream that I was meeting Moa at a public pool, but I instead had to chase a sassy black girl down because I saw her jump the turnstiles and not pay her entrance free and threatened to call the cops on her as we were now inside of a train station.

What could it mean?

I have a folder of pictures I look at when I'm feeling depressed and want to remember that there is beauty and innocence in the world despite all the bad things that happen constantly. A few of those pictures are of Moa.

Anyone else have something like this?

>>12953779

>mfw I saw somebody talk shit about Muto Ayami in the last thread

Also, I hate to be that guy, but Ayami was more beautiful as a kid tbh. #nopedo Her jaw grew too much.
Seems to be a common thing with idols that start young, apparently an attractive, marketable little girls face rarely scales well to maturity.

Pic related, it's Ayami a number of years ago.

>>12953789
I love how Moa is the only one who actually has an expression on her face

>>12956197
Yea because this thread has been gangbusters since we got banned bruh!! You guys literally got less posts in the last 24 hours we got banned than there were in the last 2 hours before we got banned.

Also lmao at me saying you can only get banned for talking about Japanese girls with black guys and in the same post asking if Ayami likes black dick and getting banned for that. WHAT THE FUCK. Here's the cute part. One of the things you can get banned for in the rule that was cited is RACISM. Lmao mods are racist, /jp/ is racist. This board shouldn't exist if that's the case. mfw pedoposts are allowed and I get banned for this shit. Second time getting banned in a week and it was for shit that 90% of the posts here are guilty of. Shit, I might even get banned for this fuckin post.

Anyway, LoGiRL was fun, too bad Yui wasn't there. I was hoping she and Moa would be on every single one til they graduate.

>>12954032
The only thing wrong with Ayami right now is the bizarre outfits they make her wear. I think she's the cutest she's ever been. Y'all see her new video just released? It's cool but not OK Go level of quality.

>>12954687
Japanese idols have a huge burden on them, huh? I admit I do look at them with a strange worship as images of purity and things that feel often so fleeting in this world, though I realize that I am in no place to demand such things from anyone. I guess lately there has been more idols that aren't so constricted to that oldschool image (no associating with the opposite sex outside of work, strict rules on behavior and words, etc), some even making a "charm point" out of being an "anti-idol", although somewhat ironically. One of the smarter idols who wrote a book about Japanese constitution, had one of the essays being about the no-dating rule, and if it goes against the constitution.

Are idols the modern day geishas?


Sorry for the off-topic blabber, it's the post-release schedule blues.

>>12956961
Please help improve the thread quality by removing yourself from it permanently. People who come here for something other than greentext and pedo fantasies will start posting then.

>>12956992
>I guess lately there has been more idols that aren't so constricted to that oldschool image
The market and concept of idol image is changing. You could point out vast differences between every decade. I started following idols in late 90's (Morning Musume) and when I look at some of their old vids I chuckle at how archaic they are.

The 90s idols are also what introduced the concept to the majority of Western fans, and now we're going on to 2 decades from that. But unless those idols you speak of are self-produced indies then it's just the industry adapting to the times. If we take CDJapan statistics as any kind of indication the Western fans are quicker to pick up on the new trends, with Babymetal album being the 2014 top seller and outselling even the AKB machine.

>One of the smarter idols who wrote a book about Japanese constitution, had one of the essays being about the no-dating rule, and if it goes against the constitution.
Name and source on the book?

>Are idols the modern day geishas?
That's simplifying and trivializing the concepts of both idols and geishas, but on the basic level, yes.

>Sorry for the off-topic blabber, it's the post-release schedule blues.
Take it easy, that's the kind of posts this thread needs.

>>12957017

>>12957047
>Are idols the modern day geishas?

This is a very interesting question and as >>12957047 says, it's a bit of a simplification, but like with geisha, men can have an 'affair' with a woman that their wives can approve of, because the two worlds needn't collide and actually might strengthen each other - she is still master of the house and her husband is getting whatever the fuck he needs from his idol/geisha without much risk of physical or emotional cheating.

You have to see this in context: male/female roles have of course changed slightly in the last few decades, but Japan is still very traditional.

My grandmother was visited twice yearly by a few of my granddad's favorite geisha, who'd pay their respects to her and thanked her for taking care of the household and him so well that he could frequent the tea houses free of worries and thus properly entertain his business relations, relax, and have fun.

Anyway, I digress.

>>12957652
>My grandmother was visited twice yearly by a few of my granddad's favorite geisha, who'd pay their respects to her and thanked her for taking care of the household and him so well that he could frequent the tea houses free of worries and thus properly entertain his business relations, relax, and have fun.

This is unthinkable in a western household. If women like this were to meet in the west, they would most likely kill each other out of sheer jealousy.

This is what I love so much in Japanese culture. They are way more skilled in putting these kind's of situations in perspective. Putting their emotions in second place, and prioritizing the greater good of the family.

>>12957845
>Putting their emotions in second place

The curious thing is, for Japanese women, it's hardly necessary to put their emotions in check in this case - because they understand what the deal is with geisha, this is all purely rational for them and makes perfect sense.

Wives have a role and geisha (or even fully fledged mistresses) have a role. They know this and know their position isn't threatened. The beauty is that the man works, gives his paycheck to the wife, and he gets an allowance.
She knows how much he spends on entertainment and if there's enough money, he can go visit tea houses four times a week, but if there isn't, well, unless he's going to dig into their 401K (in which case she should and would divorce the idiot), there's not going to be any partying.
The wife is very much in control of the household.

Certainly back in the day, this is what Japanese wives were. And still are, to a large extent: homemakers and mothers, that's it.

They didn't do anything outside of the home except shop. This made them essentially boring as fuck. And entertaining friends/business relations at home is not likely to happen now and was unthinkable a few decades ago.

These women weren't expected to be sociable, cheeky, fun to talk to, etc. They would, *IF* they socialized, only do so with other women.

For married men, the only way to socialize in a setting with women present, was when these women were geisha. (Geisha, of course, were never married, that would make their job impossible for reasons described above)
The wives never forgot that their men are having to pay the geisha -- and as such are not a threat to their homes.

Horny neighbors, now those you've got to watch out for...

Man you guys really need to stop reporting posts just because you don't like what is said. First off, it's lame and childish as hell. Second, it's killing this General. These threads are getting censored to hell. I can report this short geisha discussion and it would be removed according to the rules....butttt....what's the point of that? Not every post can be about Babymetal. Guess I'll start reporting greentext pedoshit too if you wanna play that game.

ANYWAYYYY, in one of my deleted posts, I mentioned the LoGiRL broadcast last night. It's nice to see Yunano got the front seat and the highlight position. She was definitely happy this time lol I wasn't happy with Moa sitting in the back as President but I'm willing to bet she was being her selfless self and suggested it to spotlight the other girls.

Yeah, I'll take idol-related meta-discussion or just a slow comfy thread any day over that garbage.

>>12958794
Where would geisha thread belong anyway? /int/ I guess. That was initially related to the idol business, and the few replies it got were interesting. But I suppose many on /jp/ would even have 3DPG threads to go someplace else, so...

Janny should just take it easy.

>>12958838
How many times do I have to reiterate I've been (one of the only ones) going against the pedoshit that used to pervade 90% of these threads? You're telling this to the wrong person.

Hence, "ACTUAL" BM discussion.

>>12958847
People here are such sticklers for rules. They literally would rather see no replies in an entire day than a discussion amongst BM fans. Even so, the geisha discussion(which I wasn't even a part of) relates to BM because they are IDOLS. Helloooo. If you guys really wanna follow the letter of the law these threads would have barely any replies and your posts responding to these comments are off-topic so please report yourselves and be consistent.

Its great seeing censors getting a taste of their own medicine. I for one welcome every kind of discussion, the only thing I dont tolerate is this retard >>12955315 trying to turn the thread into facebook 2.0

>>12958864
Well I'm cool with a thread free of pedo shit and wank fatasies and instead full of talk about Amuse's operations, idol industry, idols in context of Japanese culture, society and history, metal bands, gig reports, and nostalgia about the World Tour.

Oh, and Babymetal releases, whenever they fucking come out. It's three girls who release like 2 songs a year lately and don't churn out media like every other idol outfit, so what the fuck is there to talk about. And repeating and instigating the same old tired "who best metal" shitstorm is at this point pure trolling and shitposting. Fuck, even if we count in SG this makes it total of 11 members, no comparison to 48 or even HelloPro.

>>12958898
Have you considered joining the Gamefaqs community instead??

>>12959279
I'm the person you quoted and I agree with all this. I was also the one who said it's stupid to complain about idol related things because that of course relates to BM. Shit, even if something goes completely off topic for a bit, who cares? Someone please explain to me why that boils your blood.

>>12959292
Off-topic post.

Reported.

>>12959279
Thing is, we do have stuff to talk about. I mentioned LoGiRL twice and no one else did. A new translation was just released last night from 2013 where Moa gave an idea of what level of guitar playing she is at. New Amuse reports were just released and Babymetal is a big part of their future plans, and opening up an overseas market for all their talent. Ayami just released a new MV and she will be a guest on a Nogizaka46 live stream as well as LoGiRL tomorrow. Airi's zexy girl commercials were just released.

So at the moment, there's plenty to talk about.

>>12959543

I was just thinking about this, if Moa did get the new guitar she wished for. I would give her one of mine.

Here's the article on Amuse's growth and Babymetal's contribution although not sure I could trust the site since it's obviously biased
http://www.babymetalnewswire.com/2015/01/26/report-contribution-of-babymetal-to-amuse-inc/

Here's another one that I haven't read yet
http://www.equitystoryjapan.com/amuse/interview/amuse_interview2-1.html
Apparently their top 3 artists last year were Southern All Stars, Masaharu Fukuyama, and Perfume but they've been under Amuse for 36, 26, and (I think) 10 years respectively. Babymetal is the driving force behind them expanding globally though. I'd assume Perfume as well yo a lesser extent but then again Perfume sold out a 4,000 capacity venue in L.A. in their first US show and also sold out the same NY venue BM didn't during the same month and pretty fast although BM's tix were more expensive.

>>12959654
Well that was cute. Their jokes are too complicated for me though, lol.

>>12959614
If she's been keeping up with practice since then, according to the songs she's capable of playing, especially at such a young age, she should be pretty decent by now. I doubt Babymetal levels of skill but it'd be really cool for her to play guitar for something like No Rain, No Rainbow. I think Yui's also been practicing piano so she could play the keys. Would be great.

>>12959745
What do you mean by complicated?

I thought it was cool that it was just them speaking like they were running the radio show. I also like how they seemed so free and comfortable back then and now they seem stiff and reserved. If this was done today, every answer would be "Only the fox god knows."

Everyone saw the leaked Singapore behind the scenes footage right? That was heart melting lol

>>12959747
Well she did mention even on this radio thing that she has difficulties with making the time. I don't really have illusions of them ever actually playing instruments live, Maybe something in a studio enviroment. Getting to that level of professionalism, to be able to nail a stage performance takes daily practice and maintaining that skill afterwards, much like sports people have to.

I'm excited about their song writing efforts though, 4 no Uta has been growing on me.

>>12959817
I didn't get the Linkin Park thing, and the mobile phone metal only made sense after reading the comments (Rare metals like Tantalum).

>>12959829
Yea, that's the thing. I'm sure she is too busy to keep at it regularly but being able to play No Rain, No Rainbow is really easy if she's been able to play those other songs when she was 13. But once again, that all depends on if she's been keeping up but she said she likes to collect guitar picks and does enjoy playing it so it's possible. No Rain, No Rainbow is really basic and they have plenty of stage experience.

>>12959849
Oh. Those were definitely written for them.

Somebody should have bought Moa Rocksmith. After 2 years of playing with no prior experience I'm a pretty decent guitar player for someone who just fucks around with it only playing for fun without practicing techniques.

Here is a 10 year old Japanese girl in a similar situation playing Slayer on Rocksmith

>The allocation of revenue is another area where communication with artists becomes quite important. With the artists’ full consent, the earned revenue of the artist is partly generated from the infrastructure of Amuse, so we need to receive the proper share. It is important to mutually respect each other’s opinion, and go with win-win relationships. Without establishing the trust relationship properly, the long-term relationship over 10, 20, or 30 years cannot be sustained.

I mean of course they wouldn't say they're stiffing the artists but I really do think they are compensating their talent fairly as opposed to most in the idol industry. They're different and this also makes it seem even more believable:

>Many people understand that the Southern All Stars and Fukuyama did not leave Amuse even after they became big artists, because the communication between us is successful. In the same way, I think it shows the value of belonging to Amuse. We believe the artists stay with us for the long term because we can actually build a win-win trust relationship with the artists.

It's great they are expanding so much and placing a big importance on overseas and they have a California office too now!

Also, lol what, Amuse is making a One Piece amusement park in Tokyo? Dat hustle

>>12961893
I never even heard a K-ON song til yesterday. I think it's great they play guitar and pretty much play rock. That anime probably single-handedly made Moa want to play the guitar since it was her favorite before Love Live!

Good lord highly advanced guitar playing is cool as fuck. This guy is the Japanese Yngwie Malmsteen. Only 98 twitter followers smh.

>>12962142
Moa is such a cheeky rote memorizer. Wonder what her IQ is.

>>12956854
Raura.

I may have to get some of the Sakura gakuin/babymetal interviews and specials ripped into my iPod to listen to in the car.

The more I listen to their previous releases the more I get hype for an announcement for their next one...

>>12962142
Is Tina related to Ivy from Sakura Gakuin HELLO IVY?

Also, why did they stop making these videos?

>>12963165
Is it really? I guess it kind of looks like her. They're only one year apart, in that picture it looks like there's a 20-year difference.

>>12957223

Found it, thanks. Looks interesting, but probably won't drop 10 dora on a book I can't even read.

>>12957279
Don't know how it works in Glorious Nippon, but here if you sign a contract that violates your civil or even constitutional laws then they would very much apply and your contract would be found void.

>CHAPTER III. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PEOPLE
>Article 11
> The people shall not be prevented from enjoying any of the fundamental human rights. These fundamental human rights guaranteed to the people by this Constitution shall be conferred upon the people of this and future generations as eternal and inviolate rights.
>Article 12
> The freedoms and rights guaranteed to the people by this Constitution shall be maintained by the constant endeavor of the people, who shall refrain from any abuse of these freedoms and rights and shall always be responsible for utilizing them for the public welfare.
>Article 13
> All of the people shall be respected as individuals. Their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness shall, to the extent that it does not interfere with the public welfare, be the supreme consideration in legislation and in other governmental affairs.

Etc.

>>12957652
I really wonder how accurate the stuff about "pillowing" and all that was in the Shogun novel.

>>12963507
Because Koba doesn't want them to be cute anymore, he wants them to be cool :/

>>12963911
I'm fine with that as long as he doesn't try to make them slutty like a bunch of Miley Cyruses

>>12964030
My brain can not imagine how a full group of Miley Babymetals would look like. They are just to innocent.

>>12963542
My thoughts exactly. It looks like Raura in her mid to late 20's or something.

>>12963542
>>12964075
U know, drugs
,thug life.

>>12964315
The way how she tweets every. single. day. that "today will be a lovely day" does make me think that she has to be on a cocktail of pills.

>>12964075
I could see that. Raura is like the new Ayaka. You can tell she don't give a fuck, and will fuck a nigga up for talkin smart.

She may be a bitch but im falling for her shit

I just had my first Babymetal dream and it was pretty amazing. It was one of those totally lucid ones, too. >mfw, etc.

>>12966141

>>12966141
I had one with 2011 yui doing questionable things, i'm not proud of it but holy shit, it was amazing

>>12966180
Mine wasn't questionable or anything, just comfy and chilled out as we hung out together. I'm glad it turned out that way.

>>12966166
It's out of character for me to post this kind of stuff, but it's the best thing that happened to me in a while and I can hardly contain my excitement. Today will be a good day.

>>12966194

I started to have a dream and then got woke up by my fat neighbour clattering round his house at 3am.

What a cunt ;_; Utter Su-block.

Oh well, time to wait for LoGirl #2 sub to come around.

>>12966407
I don't think that's gonna happen. Dude that subbed the last one had it taken down quick. Sucks because he actually really wants to become an official translator for Amuse and they keep striking his videos lol

>>12966419
I fear so too, though he could just upload it to his google plus like he did with singapore, which hasn't been removed.

>>12966419

I-I guess I'll just have to watch them in a few years when my japanese is better.

>>12966604
He still might do it, like the other guy said he uploaded the Singapore video to google drive and it's still up. Here's something from the same guy in the mean time.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DLmN5_B4ORs

Just in time for the Ayami livestream (90 minutes to go).

I'll try to stay more on-topic and avoid mentioning idols in an idol thread. Oops!

This was a great appearance. Looks like they tried to squeeze every game they can think of in the 30-minute show. It turned out better than expected.

>>12960442
Thank you kind anon, you put a smile on my face with this post.

Ayami is noticing her foreign fans! From her twitter account:

>Music video of the 'Parallel World' will be uploaded 11pm tonight ! (Japanese and English subtitles available) Don't miss it !!

She even wrote the tweet in Engrish!

>>12966727
Lol even though my ban was bullshit, that one is just straight up ridiculous.

>>12966788
>Ayami uploading a MV with english subs later today
Man, this weeks just keeps on giving!!

Ayami stream in 15 minutes, tune into http://logirl.favclip.com/live/ and watch it with me :3

>>12966845
Ayami a shit

A couple two, tree thots on the LoGiRL broadcast

>>12966977
I was with you all the way until that last point.

By the way, her new MV is up on youtube now!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri4BdcTbH88

>>12966419
I know but I told him to start using Aegisub and posting soft subs. But ohh well if any of you know a way to export iMovie subtitles to srt that would be great.

>>12967060
Where do I get said iMovie file? I'll give it a shot when I get back home.

>>12967071
That is the problem, we need to find a tool to send it to Malone so he can convert em. I don't have such a file yet.

>>12967076
I'm confused, so does he have the subtitles or not? Is it a matter of converting the sub file format (trivial), or extracting it from a video file it's embedded in (still rather trivial)?

In other words, what's the source from which we want to export the subs? I never touched iMovie in my life, but unless it's plain old hardsubs burned into the video, I should be able to extract/covert it if I'm given the file.

>>12967112
Conversion from iMovie and apple formats without the files is non trivial.

Also OCR-ing hardsubs is non trivial.

iMovie has softsubs and he exports them them using the iMovie export function (to mov and that burns em in)

I asked him for a sample project file but haven't heard back.

>>12967123
That's what I'm saying, if it's hardsub then we're screwed because OCR is a pain in the ass, but if it's not then the sub stream with timestamps is just sitting then somewhere waiting to be extracted with the right tools. Unless apples went full retard and encrypted it or some shit like that. Actually, them being Apple, I wouldn't put it past them.

Hey you! Post a picture of the girl you don't post the most often!

>>12967975
Please forgive me Yui.

Why do you fucks give so much of a shit about soft subs. Take what you can get and stop bitching . It's FREE

>>12967036
Lol one of her lines in the chorus is "Pound me, alright"

Ayami is becoming so lewd.

>>12968284
BECAUSE SOFT SUBS ARE THE TRVE MASTER RACE.


And softsubs solve the "piracy issue" of Amuse taking stuff down..

>>12968950
Uhhh, Amuse aren't taking stuff down because it's subbed, they're taking it down because of the video itself.

>>12968987
Dude re-read my post...


Hint: With soft subs you don't need to distribute the video (WHOOSH)

>>12968991
No, I get it. But this guy isn't simply doing charity work. He wants something out of it. Like views.

WHOOSH.

Goodness. If you don't want hard subs, take the translation and do this shit yourself instead of complaining about someone doing a lot of work for free that he doesn't have to.

>>12969332
Mmm don't think so. When I talked to him it was more that he was unaware of the differences and he has expressed concerns about sharing the video before, so it was just a matter of getting used to a different subtitle editor. But the conversion would be needed for all the "old" projects.

>>12969350
It's not like he would admit to it. Let him do his damn thing. If you want it a certain way, do it yourself and stop whining.

And please, go back to lebbit

I think your dreams are really cute. I'm going to try to do some lucid dreaming tonight, I miss spending quality time with Yui, she's so pure and elegant (in case you hypersensitive faggots are wondering, I mean this in a non-erotic way).

I wish I could BBM-dream.
Well I did have one, but it was something about going back in time trying to find their album (judging by the cover art, don't ask), and it didn't make a whole lot of sense. No girls were involved.

>>12964697
Night of Spica

>>12969936
ayy my sides then that name wasn't coincidence since Yuika looks like a peruvian spic

>>12970191
Damn that's Yuika? I always thought she looked Hispanic too but she looks like she's about to go to her Quinceañera in that pic. I know there was a big influx of SA immigrants to Japan a long time ago but they were mainly Brazilian. Honestly though, a lot of Hispanic people can look Asian too. They can look like every single race actually.

>>12970191
I thought Japanese didn't like brown people (such as SE Asians). I wonder how popular she is with the wotas.

Did you miss me /bm/?

>>12970191
Ugly spic
they are nothing alike

Su was also brown when she was younger. They did morethan just remove her mole.

I want more interviews from Hot Wave and Kawaii Girl Japan

>>12969480

Sometimes the non-lewd dreams are better...they always seem more vivid to me and have a lasting affect after I wake up.

Either way, it's just nice to have that feeling of meeting Su...even if it's not for real just yet.

>>12970576
That was probably in the summer. Asians try to stay out of the sun as much as possible and apparently a lot(most?) of their skin products contain bleaching agents. Moa herself said she gets dark in the summer.

>>12970386
>>11970454
she's a peruvian called Wendy Sulca. Japan has some bonds with Peru an Brazil; Theres a peruvian dictator called Alberto Fujimori. Also native americans are mongoloid, we rice and chopsticks too :^)

>>12970532
>Brown sugar at the poster
Lol
>>12970541
Just acept it, they look like sisters, with Yuika being the fine version

What would Su be doing right now if Babymetal never took off?

Regroup with Ayami? Solo idol like Ayami? How successful?

I love BM and I would've never even knew she existed without it but I honestly feel like eventually Su could've went down as an all time great in Japan like Utada Hikaru and Ayumi Hamasaki. Won't ever happen with BM.

>>12970864
>Won't ever happen with BM.
What makes you say that? Isnt BabyMetal increasing in popularity everyday in Japan and the world? There is still hope...

>>12970906
I'd love for that to be the case but they're too heavy to reach those levels. And I doubt all the same 3 girls will be doing BM 10 years from now. It's just not them no matter how much they enjoy it.

Anyway, I wish I didn't say that last part because I wanted people to answer the first question most of all.

>>12970864
She would be a nobody after quitting SG. If she really had the drive to stay in the idol biz, she might have joined 48 and be an undergirl nobody there.
If she wanted to stay just in the showbiz and not care about being idol, she would probably end up in commercial, dramas, or as animu VA.
But most likely she would go back and finish school and just carry on with regular life, maybe pursuing her personal hobbies and becoming a name there, but probably ending up some salaryman's waifu.
I'd hate to be wrong, but one look at how irrelevant all MM and 48 graduates are, even the most talented/popular ones, will tell you that this is the reality.

>>12970984
Lol no. Su has an amazing voice and she isn't an idol. Well she is but she only uses it as a means to sing and perform but she cares nothing for the lifestyle. You act like a female solo singer can't make it in Japan.

Also, I think one of the top akb girls became a producer for them and even made her own concert for idols.

I wonder if she really wanted to be a songwriter or if that was something scripted and if Koba would let she compose something for Babymetal one day.

>>12970790
I dont know about Peru but the brazilians who imigrate to Japan are all pure descendants, there are very strict laws about this. Japan needs to preserve dat xenophobia yo.

>>12971070
>isn't an idol
>well she is

are u fucking retarded m8?

>>12970984
If you think Amuse would chuck her after SG when she has the most talent, your dick is smaller than the one you rode in on. Ask an idol? What about Perfume? Amuse is different. All the SG graduates are doing great right now and still supported by Amuse and they have other big acts who they've supported for up to 36 years.

In fact, BM wouldn't have a chance if Su wasn't as good as she is. Su is far from a typical idol.

>>12971135
Her job description is an idol. Her personality isn't. Now Moa? She is pure idol.

I wrote this extra slow because I know you're not a very fast reader.

What spic girl gonna do after she graduates?

>>12971070
You don't need to tell me how amazing Su's voice is. What I'm saying is, being even a successful idol is not a ticket to legit career. It's more of a door-blocking stigma than anything. Utada and Hamasaki were made into solo divas from the start.

It would be great if she could become a comfy talented singer like Maaya Sakamoto, known first and foremost for her legit singing talent and voice, but then Maaya wouldn't be who she is if she weren't virtually adopted by Yoko Kanno who was the actual creative and artistic driving force behind her.

>Also, I think one of the top akb girls became a producer for them and even made her own concert for idols.
I'm not into AKB much but if you're referring to Takamina then she's just a "general director" of the AKB groups, which is a title just as meaningless as an idol group "leader".

I can't name a single ex-idol who made a legitimate career in music, but I'll be happy to get examples if anyone has them. I can present ex-MM Asami Abe, Nakazawa Yuuko, and Takahashi Ai. One records one fuckboring ballad a year, another sings enka songs for grannies, and the third one, arguably the greatest singing voice HelloPro ever had has married a fucking monkey-looking comedian and blogs about hipster clothes. Even Maki Fucking Goto's solo career fizzled out after a couple of singles despite being signed with Avex.

From AKB you have everyone's beloved Atsuko Maeda who was forgotten by the general public the second she graduated and now acts in some low-budget movies no one in the West heard about. They also managed to churn out at least three AV actresses kek.

>>12971139
Nice ad hominems m8. Keeping a graduate on the artists' lineup and payroll may mean support from Amuse, but does not mean career. SG is a niche idol group catered to niche audience of enthusiasts of U15 girls and no amount of talent you accidentally posses can change that.

>In fact, BM wouldn't have a chance if Su wasn't as good as she is.
I never denied that. BM is the best that happened to Su, and Su is the best that happened to BM. If anything can give her a chance at a real career is the exposure she gets via BM and the change it gives her at showing off her real singing skills.

>>12971216
Su will be enka singer
She looks like young Sayuri Ishikawa

>>12971266

You're comparing SG to typical idol groups. Once those groups have their girls graduate, that's it. They're done. Once SG girls graduate, their real careers start. SG is probably Amuse's least lucrative act, and it's not about churning out idols, it's set up like a real school to develop them for the entertainment industry whatever they wanna do. Look at Airi and Ayaka, they were planned to be models from the start and now they're already 2 of the biggest in Japan. Look at Ayami, they put her as a solo idol in a world of 500 member idol groups. Look at Perfume, the girls are pushing 30 and only getting bigger. Then look at BM where they also threw the graduation system out.

Amuse is not an idol agency, they have business in all types of things. Not every female has to be an idol and BM has a lower ceiling of popularity than her being a pop star.

I don't know much about idol groups but honestly they don't seem to exude talent at all, and they're all about being identical rather than standing out. Su has been noticed for her singing since she was a child the same way that all the biggest popstars in the west were.

And let me add this isn't even bias here because Moa is by far my favorite and I have your concerns about her and Yui but Su is a one of a kind talent.

>>12972123
Oh man, Yui's hair here is too cute

lewd? O_O

>>12972161
Su herself said that she wants to be a singer/songwriter, being an idol amounts to nothing than waving at crowds and smiling while someone else takes care of the music & lyrics and even vocals for you. Even babymetal is separating itself from the idol world as much as it can, barely acknowledging the fact that they came from an idol group.

I'd imagine it'd be neither idol nor metal, something like Sakurairo No Avenue from the 2012 Sakura Gakuin album.

>tfw never wake up to Su wearing one of your tshirts as a dress in the morning passing you a mug of coffee
>never watch her walk to the bathroom before slipping it off and looking meaningfully at you over her shoulder while smiling and getting into they shower

>>12972469
Exactly. Everyone is hung up about idol this, idol that, but that doesn't apply to Su. She only cares about singing, and how many idols have such a high range of vocals as Su?

This is what I mean about Su not REALLY being an idol for the aspies.

>>12972469
>Sakurairo No Avenue
I hope so, that would be so sweet man.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWp4FaCgoc8

>>12972405
I won't comment on SG graduates, I don't follow them and still have only limited interest in SG as such.

As for Amuse I get it, they're more like Avex with a diverse roster, rather than idol-focused like HelloPro/UpFront. But that's their business model, they hold on to assets even losing money in the hope that they will once pay back. Same deal as with probably 80-90% of Avex artists being on life support from Hamasaki and a couple other big ones.

At this stage of course only a fool would get rid of Su, but was she really that notable as an SG member? Not questioning here, honestly asking. I'm sure even without Babymetal she would have been noticed as a great singer by now, but based on previous examples I do have doubts if this alone would have taken her places.

Oh and fuck Perfume. Over 10 years from their debut single which I deleted after one listen and they still have the same shitty overproduced autotuned sound as back then. But I digress.

>>12972469
>Su herself said that she wants to be a singer/songwriter,
>I'd imagine it'd be neither idol nor metal, something like Sakurairo No Avenue from the 2012 Sakura Gakuin album.
It would be fantastic if she became someone like Tommy heavenly/february. Incidentally she wrote My Graduation Toss for SG.

>Even babymetal is separating itself from the idol world as much as it can, barely acknowledging the fact that they came from an idol group.
I think this may have more to do with their serious attempts at promotion in the West. It wouldn't fly too good with people if they started randomly digging into their idol origins and finding things like >>12965657 . There's enough idiots screaming pedo just based on their age alone.

>>12972590
>mfw your pic

Is that for real? oh my gosh it's for real (￣ー￣)

and back to the actual topic, there was another rock band that Su performed with after Sakura Gakuin, I can't rememeber the name of it and even though the audio was on youtube, searching her name brings up nothing but shit fan tributes.

Literally who the fuck?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp0iAJf7bbQ

>>12972624
>At this stage of course only a fool would get rid of Su, but was she really that notable as an SG member?

She really was, even in their first years while Amuse was -trying- to focus on the elder members about to graduate, Su was the only who could really carry a tune and had the most time in vocals, and for the album of the year of her graduation she basically got two solo songs.

The being said, if she had not gone through the training camp that is Sakura Gakuin and subsequently the phenomenon that is Babymetal, I think that maybe she would have lived in her sister's shadow and never really reach the fame that she has now. Either waste her talents being a regular idol or play for a few dozen people at indie cafés or whatever.

I am an 18 year old in love with a 15 year old Japanese girl in a metal band. What the hell do I do with myself.

>>12972642
don't know how much rock this was
but could be this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tCXVYRATWk

>>12972773
Yes! That's exactly the one I was trying to find, thank you!

She has a voice for any music genre, really.

I'd be really interested in hearing her in a solo project that isn't necessarily metal.

>>12972805
I'm also hoping that in some time she tries the classic metal sing style not that awful grawl

>>12972624
Like I said Airi and Ayaka are top models in Japan. Marina and Hinata are doing voice acting for anime. Raura and Yuika are doing a webshow. Everyone is doing something other than 2 girls who wanted to pursue other interests(modeling/nursing). Amuse is beyond the music industry. For example, they're opening up a One Piece theme park in Tokyo. They also just added an office in the US. They work differently from the idol machine. Southern All Stars for 36 years and Masaharu Fukuyama for 26 years. Perfume and One OK Rock for around 10. Amuse puts a long term investment in their talent the way record labels in the west do, it's no wonder they have multiple groups more popular in the west than most Japanese artists.

And yea, Su was always a stand out(it's why Koba specifically built BM around her) but I think Amuse was banking on Ayami being the biggest star. At least originally, but I think that had more to do with her charisma.

>>12972694
Yup. But I don't agree she'd be in Himeka's shadow. Even when they were a young duo Tween, Su was the lead singer and she was obviously a lot better than her even as kids.

>>12970864
It is very hard to "break through" into the public knowledge though, there is so much stuff out there. I don't really pay all that much attention to what is "in" and popular right now but I have my doubts that it has all that much to do with quality of the material these days.

Music scene in general is alive and well thanks to the internet, so who cares about corporate cash cows.

>>12972590
Where is our Emperor anyway, I thought he just ran out of weed.

>>12972746
You think that's bad? I just turned 29.

I'm old enough to be lusting after Moa's mom, but it's not lust, it's a severe case of waifu-ism

>>12972817

Ayami's charisma >>12965657 is nice

>>12972817
Forgot to add that Koba had the idea for BM before Sakura Gakuin existed when Su was in Karen Girl's with Ayami and Yuika and he already wanted her to front it at that time.

>>12972817
>that had more to do with her charisma.
And that Ayami is slightly better at singing than Su
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOZ6EqrOUO8

>>12972860
she actually sucks m8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3dGYuzNgg8

>>12972860
Lol no she's not. She has a very nice voice and makes less mistakes but Su's singing is much more ambitious/difficult with a much higher range of vocals and a much more powerful voice. Don't get me wrong though, I like Ayami and root for her success. I'd love for her to top the Oricon charts one day.

They just REALLY need to get her a new stylist lol

>>12972817
Completely agree, actually, I really like that Amuse cares about music first rather than image and i have no problems that BM was manufactured and supported by them. Remember that Amuse completely supported Perfume when things didn't looked promising for the group.

Also, Ayami was pushed so much because honestly she is a better idol than Su, but Su always has been a powerful singer who doesn't really fit in the idol world, So after Sakura Gakuin and if BM wasn't there i think she would do fine as the lead vocalist of a Rock/Metal band.

>>12972869
u wut m8

>>12972883
>makes less mistakes
I didn't say she have a better voice, as you said, she makes less mistakes, have more control and tends to be more profetional, than Su; Maybe Su's mistakes are cuz she tries more ambitious/difficult things but that don't make her best at singing per se.

>>12972913
We know how well SU can sing when she's standing and not moving, and is a lot better and more powerful than Ayami.

>>12972624
You seem not to know much in general about Su so you probably didn't see this(before Sakura Gakuin existed).

Now, yes, Su makes some mistakes sometimes in vocals with BM but that's only because of the intensive dance routine. As you can see, even as a little kid she could perform flawlessly, and she also sounds perfect in ballads like Akatsuki Unfinished Version and No Rain, No Rainbow.

I can't believe I got this wrong! Thanks for the correction.

I like a bit of roughness in my vocals (huge fan of Doro), I will take an inspired powerful singing style with the mistakes, over a safe textbook execution when it comes to live. The latter belongs in studio.

We could argue all day about style and vocal types, I am not a huge fan of Ayami's vocals but that's just my shitty opinion.

>>12972869
No need to bash Ayami anon, she is a talented singer.

I've always thought that Su and Ayami are the two of the best singers that Amuse has this moment, they showed that in Karen's girls, SG and their projects in the present, but Su is a more versatile, emotional and powerful singer.

Let me put it in this way, if they switched places Su will be singing pop in the same level as Ayami does, but Ayami can't touch the power and the range that Su does in BM, that is a defining factor to me.

Don't get me wrong, Ayami has a sweet, calm and flawless voice that i really like but Su is the one who impresses me with her work in BM. after all one of the factors of BM success is Su's credibility as a female lead vocalist.

>>12972850
I just watched budokan and whenever they left the stage I felt like a piece of my life was taken away from me. I have never done anything like this before. I just don't know anymore.

>>12972997
You've successfully passed initiation. Keep your chin up and stand strong; you're one of us now.

>>12972997
1. Learn how to play piano & music production
2. Learn Japanese
3. ???
4. Become part of Babymetal! ( and make one/all of them your waifu)

>>12973008
>>12973032

Tokyo meet up when?!

I'm getting there with Japanese man. Almost N2. Studying abroad in 2 years. I plan on threatening to kill myself soon unless moa dates me so let's see how far that gets.

>>12973032
I'm leaning Japanese now, plan on buying a piano and taking lessons and will be visiting Japan in the next 2-3 years.
>>12973040
>Almost N2
Wait for me man! I'm still learning Hiragana.

>>12973040
It will
1. Make Moa very sad and disturbed
2. Get you deported or worse
3. Crush any remaining hopes and dreams of having a future with Moa

On image there is a proposal another fan made for his waifu. Those 14-year old Japanese girls are pretty smart, huh?

>>12973089
that was too bitch, it's just a joke.

>>12973089
Lol who is that and please tell me it's legit

>>12973089
Oh my god that's absolutely hilarious.

>>12973089
>On image there is a proposal another fan made for his waifu. Those 14-year old Japanese girls are pretty smart, huh?

笑

I didn't think that idol fans actually went out of their way to directly message the stuff that they scream out loud at concerts.

I can see that's why Moa's parents keep her off social media.

Oh well, only 887 days until she turns 18

>>12972997
Not watching it on a 50"+ screen... You are doing yourself a disservice they are FHD for a reason...

>>12973159
not just one person watched it.

>>12973089
she probably downs executive peen on the daily lmao

>>12973085
If you study hard you can get that down in a week. I honestly still struggle with katakana though they're so familiar.

>>12973234
Why do you always have to be that guy

>>12972901
Yea, Ayami has a great idol personality and better yet, you can tell she cares a great deal about her music and it seems like she even has a bit creative control over it as well. In one of the SG outtakes videos they asked some of the girls how SG helped them or taught them something. Ayami said it made her love singing and that she would die if she can't sing one day.

Side note: Su's answer was that it made her appreciate dancing whereas she didn't care much for it before

You can tell Amuse is already strongly supporting Ayami from the get go and pouring in money into her brand giving her the tools to succeed.

I'm not one to be a fan of corporations but from what we do know, Amuse is golden in my book. I'm well aware of how expendable idols tend to be but I'm really glad these girls are under Amuse.

Amuse might even be responsible soon of popularizing Japanese music in America which would be monumental.

>>12973275
Well, the way she adamantly refused and given a reason and *then* asked all those questions did imply that she's either a bitch who wanted to rub it in or that she's actually *interested*, provided you're rich enough. Perhaps both.

>>12973248
I only just started the other day, I even bought a notebook for my Japanese learning. The plan is to finish TextFugu's season 1 by this weekend and start working on vocab and grammar as soon as possible.

>>12973291
And that's why I love Amuse, finally a company in the music business I can really get behind.

>>12973445
no not that guy, the "lol I bet she suck corporate dick lol" that is in every single thread.

Full version

>>12973453
That's a good plan. I know the alphabets and I understand the grammar but never actually got around to learning a lot of vocab. I'm taking classes next semester so that will hopefully help.

>>12973524
>I'm taking classes next semester
Me too, that's why I want to learn as much as I can to get placed in a more advanced class than Japanese 101.

>>12973531
That picture warms my heart.

I am completely fine with starting with a basic class. It would be kind of annoying though.

>>12973445
>a bitch because she rejected a guy

>>12972590
I didnt know ritual anon was J Man. That fucker commented on every Babymetal/Sakugaku video on yt. By the way that was four months ago back when moot unleashed the dogs to prepare for THE NEXT CHAPTER.

>>12972162
Forget about those Perfume hags and post here more often.

Never bought BM merch before, what should I buy?

>>12973907
Pant-Su

>>12974058
yes?

>>12974146

Time to watch cute girls doing cute things before sleeping

I wonder how would a western crowd react & their real thoughts about it if this videos were played during a break in a BM concert

>>12974758
I'm pretty sure a high portion of people at their concerts are well aware of and are fans of SG. Of course there will be some metal heads like wtf? but they would just chalk it up to Japanese stuff.

>>12974146
Airaka gonna photoshoot in swimsuits when

>>12974758
I wonder how theyd react if this was played

>>12975041
I literally want to protect that smile

>>12964443
Raura reminds me of Nevada-tan. She is the perfect waifu for Koba.

>>12972746
that's still normal dude, my father is 4 years older than my mother. I'm 22 though, so that might be pushing it a bit
>>12973524
>>12973531
>taking japanese classes
I wish I had time for this. I got so many classes these days that I could barely squeeze something in, and with all this stidying I really don't ferel like learning something in my free time. I should have used my earlier semesters better.
>>12973867
>four months ago
I'm pretty sure the threads were still shit four months ago, so that can't be the reason he seems to be gone now?

>>12975069
>She is the perfect waifu for Koba.
Why? She deserves something better, at least on the /fit/ aspect

>>12975090
Theyre both serial killers mate

>>12973089
I think that's Miirun from HKT48. All I know is she's someone from the 48 group.

>normalfags in charge of legal age

What if the next OP is based enough to use a SK image

>>12975145
Im fine with whatever as long as theres a witty edition. And no more GTO pls.

Was this the summer uniform of the first gen?

>>12975041
It's so weird seeing her like this after how she was in SG. I thought she was gonna be the one with the least bright future in the entertainment industry. Good for her though.

>>12975134
I see you're perfect timing this week

>>12975151
What is GTO anyway?

Deets pls including their involvement and links if possible pls thx bb

>>12975309
Jdorama, pretty decent actually.

>>12975358
What is their involvement and are there subs anywhere? I looked it up but it's a whole bunch of moons peak.

>>12975361
They both play students in the class, and yes there are subs. Just search for Great Teacher Onizuka 2014 and download season 1 and 2 (they appear in season 2, but season 1 is kinda good too)

Also the anime is also good.

If you don't like the main character then don't bother watching it. You are going to see a lot of em.

>>12975366
Wow srs thx bbs

Do they have boyfriends?
I know some classmates appeared in Moa's diary
