It did turn out to be a crazy week in REAL LIFE™, so it was entirely prescient for Chris to revive our Monday Match Game with a competition for the most mad idol. Congratulations to MAD JAMIE for taking home the crown!! The title is well deserved. Speaking of idol madness, congratulations are also in order for Richan of PLANCK STARS who hit 10K Twitter followers with less than 24 hours to go…

It was a difficult week to be a chika idol fan with a day job that requires focus and detail orientation. Each day was packed full of distractions with idol news and excellent new releases dropping constantly. This resulted in an Oshiloss Corner that’s a bit more crowded than I like, but we at least got to be comforted by some heartfelt new releases that are going to feature heavily in playlist…

The big news this week, (other than RAY’s sudden suspension of activities) is that Japan will be opening it’s borders to overseas visitors again. The catch is that only tourists attached to an approved, organized tour group with fixed itineraries will be allowed in. These tour groups will be heavily monitored and things like slipping away to a livehouse in order to catch a chika idol taiban will…

Happy weekend !! I’m in LA for Cruel World festival whose lineup includes Bauhaus, DEVO, The Damned, Christian Death, Blondie and a number other legendary groups whose influences help shape the music we talk about here today. Coupled with the very exciting news from earlier this week that MELON BATAKE A GO GO are visiting the US at Saboten Con, it’s becoming more and more clear that festivals and…

I’ve been traveling most of this week for work so please forgive the lack of substantive updates. It’s the first extended trip I’ve taken since COVID started and, after being cooped up with my cat for over two years, I kept seeing her out of the corner of my eye in the hotel. It’s nice to be home, but it seems I missed her more than she missed me. That’s probably for the best since I’m hitting…

It has been another tumultuous week in idol but amongst all of the headlines of members leaving and new units launching, we want to make sure that this piece of news didn’t slip by your radar: our favorite Hiroshima-based punks, PLANCK STARS have announced that Richan will have a solo single released if, and only if, they can garner 10,000 Twitter followers by the group’s tour final on June…

It was another full week in chika idol. While we had the one big heartbreak, we also had a bunch of debuts, a shocking reboot, and an unexpected rebranding that just about evenly split the Homicidols Discord server in regards to whether the new name is an improvement or not.
In other surprising news:
Did FRUITPOCHETTE just drop one of the best songs of the year? Yes. Yes they did.

It pains me to say it, my dear readers of Homicidols dot com, but I have failed you. When I took the reins of this storied site from Maniac’s weathered yet capable hands, I made myself a commitment to ensure we publish at least one post per week in addition to the Weekender. Though such a modest goal, it appears that the maintenance of even that small measure of output was beyond me. This week,…

It was a very eventful week with two very different dynamics at work. On the one hand, we had some pretty big announcements in the graduation and disbandment categories. At the same time, we were receiving word of some pretty big unit reboots and debuts. Our hearts would get ripped out one moment just to be resurrected the next. So, while we usually segregate all of the bad news by itself away in…
