Probably not too much, if anything, directly related.

MM are gonna be on a show with AKB, MomoClo and others about girl groups. It’s called Girls Group no saiten RAGAZZE! ~Shoujo-tachi yo!~.

Holy crap 9th gen are entering their 10th year as members and 10th gen aren’t far behind. I can’t believe it’s been so long, where did the time go.

MM won’t ever lose their status as the flagship. They’re the only group in H!P that’s ever been relevant even if it’s been ages. Beyonds weren’t nominated for a single award other than the one all the new H!P groups win. They’re not really what’s mainstream.

I could not for the life of me remember who it was of the current lineup that didn’t get the award and it turns out it was Juice Juice. Maybe UFP forgot about it that year.

It’s pretty normal for idols who go solo to see a drop off. I’m not really able to think of one whose first album/single wasn’t also their best selling. Yamamoto Sayaka, who is an ex-NMB member’s first album sold 50k the first week and her second sold 37k. And she hadn’t even graduated quite yet whe...

This ranked 11 with 10,172 copies sold.

Yeah it’s definitely the most beginner friendly. I guess Sacred Stones is too but I’m not crazy about the GBA installments.

Early consolation gift for Tomoko fans since she’s totally announcing her graduation in the next six months. The whole solo concert for individual members isn’t a completely out of left field thing. MomoClo and AKB both do it. It’s a chance to make more money and is easier than finding them third pa...

I tried making a list of stuff I liked and stuff I didn’t but most of it just fell into the not like category and I got burned out about halfway through. My main thought while I was re-listening to everything? Almost everything sounded really dated like it hadn’t aged well even thought it’s all new ...

Weekly #1.

I think in the general scope kpop is actually still a very small circle so you are more aware of when something like this happens.


I feel bad for Hara. She had already attempted suicide once before and it appears that she did not receive the help she needed after that.

They have but I saw people on Twitter saying this single had a lot more than usual. I don’t know the specific numbers myself.

This debuted at #1 with 54,950. They’re at 1 again on day 2, bringing them to 62k. It’s officially their best selling single regardless of what they sell for the rest of the week. They’re pretty far ahead of the rest of the songs too so it will probably be their first ever weekly #1 which would be a...

I did too. Why the hell did I run into a level 31 Haunter after the very first town.

Their singles probably do well on digital and streaming platforms. The physical sales charts have become a poor indicator of popularity. They don’t mirror real time charts of what people are listening to and watching at all.

Or maybe we’re all gonna get punked and Ikuta is gonna stay another two years or something. They’re both just over a year away from ten years. They’re both not that far away from 25, so we know they don’t have a crazy long time left.
