Miyamoto Karin: 2nd album "Spancall" [5/22]

[Idol Tenshoku Ondo]

Oh man that title is bad and I can't spin it. Good idea, bad execution. I hope it gets changed to "Spangle." Getting flashbacks to Brainstorming and "Buresuto."

[boinsie]

"Spangle" doesn't include the wordplay, tho?

"Spancall" might be kinda awkward to us because it looks like an English word and then kinda isn't, and buresuto might have been awkward because it's similar sounding to breast (but is also a perfectly acceptable portmanteau of 'brainstorming' in Japanese)... but at the end of the day these releases are for a Japanese audience and it's just not a problem for them.

... unless your concern is that there's already a jpop idol group going by the name SPANCALL?

^ There's also already a group with Spangle in the name: Spangle Call Lilli Line.

Idol Tenshoku Ondo be like: If I have to look at Spancall one more time it's gonna Angerme

For me, it makes me think of Spanakopita! I mean, spanakopita.

Following Miyamoto Karin's reincarnation musical "STAGE VANGUARD Akujou Tensei" in 2022 and Encore performance in 2023, the second musical play in the STAGE VANGUARD series titled "The☆Idol!" will be performed in June 2024 @ Shinjuku Theatre Mercury. Miyamoto sings, dances, and performs.



In this production, unsuccessful idols from the 1980s travel back in time to the year 2024 and use various modern tools to climb the ladder to super idol status.
Please take note of the costumes, hair and makeup that incorporate the feeling of each era.
In addition, the original song written for the show is scheduled to be cut as a single based on the votes of the audience.

And this production will feature Emao Yu, former top star of the Takarazuka Revue's snow troupe, as a guest actor to enliven the story with famous songs from the 80s.

In addition, a special performance on June 16 (Sun.) will feature a special live performance for that day only.
There will also be a showcase after the main performance, so please enjoy the showcase as well.

I like the color flow of the normal edition better, it's got a more dreamy and aesthetic feel and I'm all about dreamy aesthetics.

[Spaghetti-Western]

I prefer the LE version cover myself but they are both okay. The eye stones remind me of clowns, the way they put on a happy or sad face. What does being an idol do to you inside? (Thank you for your service )
