Is /jp/ not interested in male or co-ed (haha) idol groups?
Not since Gakkou e ikou got cancelled
>>15108025
Damn, I enjoyed V6 and TOKIO's variety shows.
I was interested, like, 10 years ago. JE really needs to step up the game again.
only been watching vs arashi, arashi ni shiagare and tokio dash island.
and school kakumei
Vs arashi is on TV here in Aus for whatever reason.
I only care about GIRL idol's stinky assholes after a concert
>>15114056
Really, VS Arashi can be very funny or very dull depending on the guests. Unfortunately, since the games're repetitive, it's normal that the ratings are decreasing with time.
>>15114025
I lost track of the new janisu groups after KAT-TUN. From HSJ onwards I simply couldn't get into them.
>>15115641
Same here, anon! Well, HSJ was still pretty nice imo, but what came after that.. Also, it never fails to amuse me how cringey the names of JE groups are. Sexy Zone.. really?!
>>15116433
Definitely, the names got worse (Johnny's West, really janni?).
But when you look at the janisu jr. unit names, most of them are/were cringey: OSSAN, They Budou, Question? (the wikipedia page has a list, and the names are hilarious).
I was super into NEWS and still check on them from time to time. Tegoshi is OTT as hell but really talented. I think if it wasnt for the Arashi LJ communities being super psycho, I would have been a big fan of them too. I really liked Matsujun in Gokusen.
>>15124545
Honestly, what's up with the johnny's lj communities (especially arashi's)?
Yeah, MJ was good in Gokusen. I liked Sakurai in Kazoku Game too. His grin always gave me the creeps.
No.
Male Japanese singing voices, like most other male pop singing voices, sound like shit.
I'm only interested in their scandals.
>>15134447
Ahaha the infamous Johnny's scandals. But girl idols also have their own fair share of scandals, don't they?
>>15126599
Get out of here!
>>15126599
What kind of high standards do you have, aniki?
>>15144156
Flor more mderniush pop, if it's not Freddie Mercury or Harry Connick Jr., I don't want to hear it
Are male idols also expected to remain pure or else they will be thrown out like trash
>>15144939
Not really. There are hundreds of girl groups so you can always jump ship, but basically two companies have a stranglehold on the boy band market, there aren't really any alternatives. So they just try to hide their relationships, eventually get outed and some fans get angry but nothing actually happens.
Also there's the fact that the man who controlled the male idol industry for decades was literally raping the idols and everybody kind of ignored it.
i see murakami mc a lot of shows lately
post you fav ichiban
>>15145755
Like goosh goosh rape?
ah the guy on the far right was the star of a propagandish show to make neets feel bad about neetness and get a job. freeter io kau or something like that. really pathetic, i wonder if jpas really fall for stuff like that. worth watching tho.
>>15124545
I like Tegoshi in Itte Q!
He always learn the challenges fast and embarass Miyagawa.
What group has the most variety TV programs? Like what's the AKBINGO of Johnny's/Arashi? And can you torrent it easily?
I already love following AKB48 and thought J-Pop singers like Gackt and Hyde were really cool when they were popular so it'd be interesting to get into that
>>15145755
That guy was only raping the underage ones
>>15146403
Sure thing.
>>15149895
Honestly, old Arashi shows were fucking amazing. Arashi no Shukudai-kun and D no Arashi were especially great.
>>15126424
いいねぇ~
Sad that KATTUN broke up. I'm still listening to their songs. I just can't find any male idol who can make music like them.
>>15146110
Hasn't Matsuko Deluxe gotten really popular lately?
>>15149895
If it's Arashi, I guess currently it should be VS Arashi or Arashi ni Shiyagare. But as >>15150504
said, their older shows were damn great, you should check them first.
As for Johnny's...I guess SMAPxSMAP? And TOKIO's Tetsuwan Dash, definitely.
>>15150573
I couldn't stop laughing in the first episode when this scene appeared. It was really unexpected.
i occasionally catch this show. the mc is the nakai produce busaku unit of kis-my-ft2. the situation sims are really funny.
>>15146403
easy thing
fumio for sure
>>15146638
He got the girl too.
>>15152895
are there any subs for it? Honestly, I don't have the courage to watch it raw entirely.
Girl idols are mediocre to begin with. Male idols are even worse. At least the girls are really cute.
There are only gooks and japs in idol threads.
It's not /jp/ culture.
