Special "Hot dang! It's Kpop metal!" double post:

[Moh]

I am so into that song, lol.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I'm enjoying that one too (could always do without the screamo elements though. )

^^ Daewang is my favorite because I love a masked mystery. Also the fun fact that she likes J-pop. Her favorite idols are Aya Matsuura and her favorite group is Morning Musume.

I wonder if they will ever reveal her face? They seem very close do doing so since she lost the fluffy bunny head.

[Moh]

Apparently they'll reveal her face once they get their first music show win. Girlies will probably disband before that happens.

ONEPIXCEL has disbanded on June 25th, 2021 after 5 years and 9 months. All of them will be staying in entertainment, doing their own thing.

[Moh]

That's surprising. Too bad, though. I liked their stuff.

Utada Hikaru recently came out as non-binary:

Singer Hikaru Utada announced on Instagram on Friday that they are nonbinary. Utada and Neon Genesis Evangelion director Hideaki Anno both appeared in a livestream on the social media platform. Before Anno appeared on the stream, Utada said, "I'm non-binary. Happy pride month!"

Utada previously shared their feelings about their gender on the platform on June 18. Utada wrote:

I'm sick of being asked if I'm “Miss or Missus” or choosing between “Miss/Mrs/Ms” for everyday things. It makes me uncomfortable to be identified so markedly by my marital status or sex, and I don't relate to any of those prefixes. Every time, I feel like I'm forced to misrepresent myself. I long for an alternative option, one that anybody of any gender or social standing could use.
…After writing thus far I looked it up and discovered that “Mx.” (pronounced as “mix”) has been suggested! That's awesome and I hope it becomes more widely used. I'm afraid my idea for a neutral prefix has come too late…

The popular singer previously teased that they are not straight in 2016 after releasing the song "Tomodachi" on their album Fantôme. The song is written from the perspective of a gay person falling in love with their straight friend.

Utada celebrated their 20th anniversary as a singer in 2018. Utada's "One Last Kiss" is the theme song for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time. The song is slated for an "overseas LP release" this summer. Their new song "PINK BLOOD" is the first opening theme song for the currently airing To Your Eternity anime.

Hopefully having someone so high profile come out as NB will help the cause of freedom of gender expression in Japan.
