introducing japanese idols I follow (1 Viewer)

[Willow]

I have thought that it would be easier to try to list all Japanese female idol groups I follow/stan and classing them in few categories, depending on their image/concept. Some of those groups could be female pop-rock bands instead of idols I think. It would be helpful for the ones who want to discover Jpop but doesn't know which group to pick or to start with.

@daeunraine @Yachii @kuro @MinSquishy @sweetener It is far from being exhaustive but it gives a little idea

It is surely a lot

Neve Slide Down (disbanded) was a sister group to PassCode, with a similar sound but without the screams.

On the rock side, there is a glaring absence of boys. I only have known SUPER★DRAGON; but I've gotten the impression they are shying away from the genre.

Maybe I will try a boygroup version 🙂

Kleissis is more a voice actress unit though 🤔 you are right for the two others

I have a few others on my spotify; but I'm not sure they are idols or bands. Does Band-Maid count as idols? I don't think so; but ...

 

[Willow]

@eclipsoul just read the list :)) actually like I said it is far from being exhaustive
