NECRONOMIDOL

[Elpis]

Necronomidol are an alt idol group originally formed in 2014. Necronomidol is produced by Ricky Wilson who is an american living in Japan. They've had a changing line-up throughout the years but typically have 4-5 members at a time. Because of their producer, they are very international friendly and have gone on several European and American tours. A lot of elements of their releases feature lovecraftian horror mixed with metal. I'm not really going to go into an introduction of every member and release as the information can be found on the fansite and their page on jpop wiki. They also have a bunch of social media. I didn't add all of them but this is the majority. The image I'm using is from December 2016 but it was the only one I could actually get to link. The only member still there is Himari (person on the far right)

That's a great choice of a group to be featured here first! They are who dragged me into the alt idol world for good and they are like 80% of everything idol-related in my life right now with the limited time I have. Excuse me if I spam this thread a little bit too much.

Everyone needs to watch the ITHAQUA video (and listen to the song because it fucking rocks)! I did replace the last video you included with Atai no Tsumetao though - last time I spoke with Ricky he didn't want that other one to be shared (because, broadly paraphrasing, it wasn't up to the standards and quality he wants to deliver) so I'm gonna respect that. Atai no Tsumetao is vastly superior to it anyway.

Too bad there is no current lineup image yet but Towa has only been a member for like a month now so I hope they're working on that. She does seem like a great pick though. I hope this will end the revolving door membership situation that they've had for the past couple of years. At least the picture you included is their strongest, golden age lineup. And there is MANACLE to fill the void, too (I vote for that to be thread number two lol).

I figured they’d be a good choice. They’re one of the early groups that got me into the scene too. I kind of lost interest in the group for a bit after Sari graduated but I’ve recently been following them more closely again. That’s good to know about the Vulture MV. Atai no Tsumeato is definitely the better song. And feel free to spam the thread I know I will too along with this section in general.
