[quote name='rob' timestamp='1358831727' post='142260'] You guys are fucking deluded if you think people think the idol business is "real" everyone including us the fans know it's all fake, we just choose not to give a shit. [/quote] This makes absolutely no sense. Read that to yourself re...

Idols being bitches and being vocal about stuff is what the industry needs more of, in my opinion. I've been really tired of idols doing the usual super-fake act for the last few years, I guess that's why I gravitated more towards Idoling!!! or some of the smaller unknowns who don't over-do the idol...

[quote name='Anderei' timestamp='1358820728' post='142244'] It doesn't seem like a criticism of UFP rather than being an idol in general. Especially since she hasn't gone to another management company. There's probably other idols who feel the same way but won't ever say anything for fear of seeming...

This is pretty amazing. Koharu has always been a badass and it always felt like management treated her like dogshit most of the time she was more active, so this feels like vindication for me in the opposite direction, that someone is actually standing up and criticizing shitty UFA management to the...

Just gonna leave this here.

The title makes it sound like a graduation single. Lets hope the whole group graduates besides Ayaka!

Good god, these covers are terrible. I just kinda looked at them for the first time. All of these are so fucking awfully photoshopped its painful. Limited A is the only one that even has a good concept behind it, but it still looks awful and photoshopped when you look at it for more than just a glan...

I'm late as hell to the party, but holy SHIT I love this version of Samishii Nettaigyo. I just got around to listening to the album a few days ago. A lot of Wink's songs had the hard rock edge to them, even if the final arrangement ended up being largely 80s synths and crap (even though they did hav...

Also because the original Ayaya version of the song was arranged by Mutou Seiji, easily one of my favorite arrangers - and he did such a fantastic job on the original. This. And even talking about songs Mutou arranged, I have NMB's Girlfriend song stuck in my head! Cat-scratch fever strikes again! ...

I'm still going refuse to listen to that Kobayashi rumor. Proof is best instead of just text from unknown sources saying this and this happened. I don't want to believe it either, I do like her, but I guess a bunch of people started doing research on both of their blogs and there are pictures of th...

Only 10 damn songs? What the hell is that? That's unheard of for an idol album. And why the hell take off one of the best songs they've made in years? Seriously, who makes these fucking decisions?

Its really sad when the Mario Paint version of the song is literally 100 times better than the actual song:
