Band-Maid has announced new outfits. They didn't wear them for Day of Maid so I guess they debut in Europe.

It's not news but SHISHAMO ends activities in just about one month from now.

That means their spot as the queen of Japanese women's bands will also be taken soon!

Birthday event.

Kanami looks so cool with that, geez. Might be the best she's looked.

>>50935547
They look cool asf but I notice that they don't show their legs off as much as they used to. Little sad about that.

>Do you have a regular job as well? Or can you pay all your bills being a musician?
Nice try, wannabe stalker! At least the guy got a like. Apparently this is less annoying than mentioning Sakika's previous band or little sister.

What did Accorinrin mean by this?

>>50937293
She means it's time for the Anon from last thread to take some feminist hag ass to the face.

Natsumi is out. It looks like Bridear will not have their own drummer for a while.

And Moe has a fursona for sure!

It's always nice to see a decent sized crowd in these end of concert shots. Sometimes you see small crowds in small venues, sometimes only about a hundred. I know the bands are glad to be playing to anyone but still it must be a bit hard for them to be enthused about it.

>>50940682
And gal Hettsu

Playing for small crowds is only a downer if the band was used to playing larger venues.

Now drop the bloody new MV!

Looks like Hanabie appeared on a tv segment. The Japanese fans are fkn pissed about Hanabie being called an unknown band.

This brings up the subject of how well known current rock and metal bands are in this day and age. I imagine much of Japanese media knows of Band-Maid, if for no other reason than Miku's relentless promotion, and of course everyone knows Babymetal, but if it's anything like the US the other bands are definitely swamped by other genres. I don't know the scene well enough to back that up, it's my opinion, so can anyone else add to this?

Cultural fragmentation applies to Japan just as much as to other countries. Most people will know huge names like Mrs. Green Apple and Yoasobi, but everything under that level might as well only exist in niche bubbles.

PaleNeØ's new maxi single is out and of course they're doing in-store promotions. Reoto sings!

The place looks kind of empty. Did they really have to film this during a down hour?

>>50947429
Well, it was either this or film with someone blundering into shot every five seconds, I guess... more likely the shop had this part temporarily blocked off for filming, it was only for a few minutes, after all, and the other floors would be unaffected.

Plus, as per the recent discussion about niches and popularity, it's not as if it were Atarashi Gakko or someone doing the promotions. PaleNeØ are great, but still rock/metal...
