Your Homicidols Weekender #386

When compared to the craziness of last week where we saw and avalanche of April Fools Day projects and an dump trucks worth of new releases to kick off the Japanese fiscal year, barely anything happened over the past seven days. Not that nothing is happening. In a major milestone, ATARASHII GAKKO!, our quirky little new school leaders who used to play URBANGARDE’s annual Depression Fest, are…

Your Homicidols Weekender #385

Welcome to the Homicidols weekly recap, with a quick caveat: this version of the weekly round-up is devoid of any idol shenanigans that took place on Monday. Check out our April Fools Day round-up for all of that craziness.   April 1 is not just April Fools Day,  it is also the first day of the Japanese fiscal year. The impact this has on the music industry is that a ton of new songs get released…

The Greatest Alt-Idol Drops and Breakdowns of All Time

It has been a a few weeks since we asked members of the Homicidols community to identify their favorite choruses, drops and hooks in the genre of alternative idol genre. We published the nominations for Best Alt-Idol Choruses a short while ago, and now it’s time for the breakdowns! For the exercise, we defined the category of drop or breakdown pretty loosely, with the primary requirement being…

The Homicidols April Fools Day Round-Up 2024

Idol April Fools Day (aka Fox Day) is one of the biggest holidays on the idol calendar, up there with Idol Halloween and Idol X-Mas.  The amount of time, energy, and commitment that idols devote their April Fools day pranks each year is always impressive. However, it can be difficult at times to tell an April Fools Day prank from normal, everyday, Japanese idol insanity. For example, it may seem…

Your Homicidols Weekender #384

Like many of you, I spent this past week living vicariously through Oomfs  attending WACK in the UK 2: Electric Boogaloo featuring ASP, GANG PARADE, and KiSS KiSS. This time, the opportunities for cheki were plentiful and an excellent time appears to have been had by all.  At the end of the festivities it was announced that, this coming August 28th, London will be host to WACK in the UK 3: This…

After last week’s bombshell news of MIGMA SHELTER’s imminent disbandment, we could use a week with a little less of that kind of excitement. For once, the idol kami took mercy and (mostly) blessed us with good news this week: Yurapico and GARUDA are hitting the road together for a European tour in June. 【✈️ヨーロッパツアー決定🇬🇧🇳🇱🇩🇪】 Tour Dates🗓️Thursday June 6th LONDON, ENGLAND🇬🇧 Friday, June…

Your Homicidols Weekender #382

It was a roller-coaster week in alt-idol. The biggest and most impactful event of the past few days was the announcement that MIGMA SHELTER, one of our most beloved units and winner of ten Homicidols Best of the Year awards,  would be suspending all activities on June 2nd. But before you drown in the melancholy details of that impending departure down in the Oshiloss Corner, bolster your…

It was a crazy week, but I did finally manage to launch our latest community project seeking your nominations for the best drops, hooks, breakdowns, and choruses in alt, indie and underground idol.  I did realize, however, that I forgot to give a deadline for submissions. Why don’t we say, Monday, February 26th? That should work. So, think of some good stuff to nominate this weekend but, if…

In Search of the Best Drops, Hooks, and Choruses in Alternative Idol

In Search of the Best Drops, Hooks, and Choruses in Alternative Idol

It takes a village to be an alternative idol fan, and I mean that in all sincerity. There are simply too many idol units, idols, music releases, MV drops, tours, graduations, disbandments, reboots, retirements and returns to keep up with the massive amount of activity all on your lonesome. It is why there is a whole team behind the running of Homicidols, and it is also the primary reason for the…

We miss Maniac, the erstwhile founder of Homicidols dot com. Some weeks, more than than others. Maniac not only had impeccable musical tastes, but he was also able to sit down in front of a keyboard at 5:00 a.m. and pound out a cogent, inciteful, and amusing blog post and publish it before his coffee was cold.  That is not a feat that I am capable of. Case in point: I did a bunch of leg work last…

I’ve been getting a bit antsy of late, waiting for any announcement of plans for idols may have to head west in 2024. Other than the upcoming WACK in the UK Part 2,  things have been pretty quiet. That is, unless you happened to be in the Netherlands this week where Miho, Nonayu, and Okinawa Electric Girl Saya dropped by to warm some western, winter hearts.

We unveiled of your Homicidols Best of 2023 award winners earlier this week, and it was great fun to see all of the reactions from around the world. For example, here’s a three hour long discussion on YouTube of your Homicidols Best of the Year awards in German. I studied German for two years in high school,  but it did not help me much here.
