Red Velvet is seriously amazing

Does anyone here like Passpo☆? They have also started to play different instruments and performing as a band. I think that's kinda cool, and very unsual from other idol groups.

Miku Hatsune is playing on the David Letterman show tonight. Very curious to see how this goes down and the reception she gets.

Dave: "Like being on Willie Nelson's bus."

The official Late Show video is here…

…but it doesn't include the exquisitely uncomfortable introduction.

they used to be the definition of underrated.
Avex you sly dogs with your expensive budgets.

What are Avex doing right for albums? All of their acts, i.e Namie Amuro sell albums better than singles?

I really like their new song Akikaze no Answer

best thing from Jpop girls in a while love the choreography.

I'm still a little bit upset about Avex throwing Hitomi Shimatani under the bus. She used to be popular.

[Nono]

Albums selling more than singles is the norm for every artist that isn't an idol.

[otaku_blue]

its so weird though. like Flower was selling 40k, then jump to 100k for album sales, and then Namie is like 100k to 300k. @___@

probably because of online downloads right?

[AyuHikaru]

It's cuz Namie is the queen.

Early AKB members sure got paid next to nothing: http://www.tokyohive.com/article/2014/1 ... s-in-akb48
