an akihabara based idol group from Dear Stage. one of my favs! high-octane bops and super fun music videos to fuel your day! if happiness were a song it would sound like them. FUN FACT, one time they had a concert at anime expo and i didn't know about it. my boyfriend ended up getting free tickets by chance AFTER I LEFT and he got to see them live. without me. since then 2 of my favorite members left and i will forever have this hole in my heart.

Genre: J-pop

not your average idol group. their whole thing is that they're alternative idols who say fuck you to idol group stereotypes. they're such a mess i love it. there have been like 29401 line up changes, 2 disbandments, and a spin-off group called brand new idol shit (real name). that being said they have a refreshingly edgy sound. kinda like babymetal if they were grown up and allowed to say fuck.

current members: ???? could not tell u honestly. the longest running member was Pour Lui but i think she left? maybe? they're currently scouting for the next generation last i heard. Toggy, Ito Musensiteebu, Manako Chiii Manako, Chant Monkee, Neo Trees. I fucking love these stage names

𝓫𝓪𝓷𝓭-𝓶𝓪𝓲𝓭

a girl group that is also a rock band! their sound is so cool and harder than most of the groups on this list, which is an interesting contrast to their maid concept. every april fools they turn into band-maiko and sing in kyoto dialect and dress up as maiko. this was such a hit they turned it into a real sub-unit!

current members: kobata miku, saiki, toono kanami, hirose akane, MISA

fav song: secret MAIKO lips
