There is something horribly wrong with any system, industry, form of entertainment, or pop subculture that idolizes young people, then drives them to suicide, or even just stands by while they kill themselves. (I know it isn't just Kpop, either, by any stretch of the imagination - it's pretty much everywhere, and it can include drug overdoses and other self-destructive actions as well as clearly identifiable cases of suicide).

On a more cheerful note, Ebichu is back with a new MV (minus Ayaka, who's on hiatus). They've been morphing into adult Ebichu for some time now, and thy MV really shows it, I think. It looks to me as if they're also moving into Wack territory, stylistically -- there are a lot of things in the MV itself, the choreography, and the overall look that remind me strongly of BiSH, EMPiRE, and Carry Loose. I like it, and I like what they're doing.

Perfume - Saisei (theme song for movie "Shijinsou no Satsujin")

Whoever edited the old clips to kinda match-up with the lyrics... They need a raise!

I just watched some Perfume for the first time in over a year yesterday, and I had no idea they had released a new song. I really like this -- it has an old-school Perfume sound. And yeah, that video is fantastic.

An MV for BABYMETAL's "DA DA DANCE", from their latest album METAL GALAXY…

It uses video recorded at several different tour stops, so it is able to show all three Avengers — Riho, Kano, Momoko — performing the same song in turns.

Blink and you'll miss them, however; the video is edited to keep the focus on Suzuka and Moa.

As for the song itself, it seems like a return to basics (if high-speed EDM metal fusion could ever be considered "basic"). Like a slicker version of "Ii ne!" from their first album.

E-girls will be disbanding sometime in 2020. Members will all go their separate paths and do their own things.

Such a shame how LDH has treated them.

Time for my annual "favorite albums" list. As usual, red means ~explicit~ lyrics, and some covers are NSFW (Aly & AJ's in particular).
