No matter what stress the world can throw at you.. sometimes the best thing you can do is a silent escape.

Away from everything but the sound of nature. Lettung yourself relax.

...Sometimes we all need that.

If you want to have truly surreal time, watch both Idoly Pride and Selection Project, while keeping in mind that the shows only had half a year between them airing. It was honestly one of the weirdest things I've seen happen in my 10 years of seasonal anime watching.

My journey with Idol’s animes and mangas - Part 2

I’m back with this journey, but before the anime review (I still don’t know why i added mangas in the title, I’m barely trying to read “Oshi no Ko” in chapter 50 and “Oshi ga Tonari de Jugyou ni Shuuchuu Dekinai!”in chapter like… 5?)

I want to try and explain a little bit of japanese idols, as far as I know, because if someone of this class reads this, i doubt they know japanese idols besides japanese members in korean groups.

  Disclaimer that I forgot last time: my posts respect the Japanese names’ order.

The idol history usually is told to start in the 1960s traced to Yoshinaga Sayuri, who was an actress, but also to the Takarazuka Revue, and the starting in 1962 with Johnny’s Entertainement creating the group Johnnys being then said to be the first active idol group in Japan, and also Kitagawa Johnny being credited as the idol trainee system’s creator. 

On the other side also told it basically started as an effect of the popularity that the french film “Cherchez l’idole” got in Japan. But as a last this year was made a TV Movie (titled “Idol”　「アイドル」with sarcasm i need to say “what a creative title!”) about the one artist who Japan considers the first idol, Ashita Matsuko, an idol in the war’s period (specifically the movie is set in 1936), I cannot actually tell more because I haven’t been able to watch it yet, i only know is based on Matsuko’s real life.

Besides this kind of complex start point (with the information I’ve found in these years as idol wota). We can definitively say that the gap between the 60’s and 80’s are the golden age of idol, traditionally talking, with all the icons we get from this period, like Matsuda Seiko, Nanno, Moritaka Chisato, Sakai Noriko, and the group Onyanko Club.

This being also possible because of Japan’s economic bubble and the commercial interest on them growing, in this times idols weren’t close to the fans, and you can really notice this with Konno Junko from Zombieland Saga (as far as I know because I haven't watched this anime). The 90’s bring a declive in the interest on idols due to a shift in attitudes caused by Japan’s economic collapse. The idol interest also shifted from amateurs to professionals (partially because of a rehaul on Matsuda Seiko’s public image). This period was called The Idol Winter Period” アイドル冬の時代 and we got icons as Amuro Namie and SPEED, even though they never referred to themselves as idols.

In the 90’s we got the chidol boom, as the elementary aged idols were increasing.

The lasts years of the 90’s and the 2000’s bring more popularity to idols again, specially thanks to Morning Musume and the posterior creation of Hello! Project (excuse me to be a little out of this more academically moment to say that I love this conglomerate), this also started to bring the “Idols warring period” アイドル戦国時代 (which i’m not clear if it continues today) getting groups like AKB48 in 2002 (and posteriorly their sister groups), and having more groups since 2010 like Momoiro Clover Z, Dempagumi.inc, and more.

  This was a short history about idols, must say that Johnny’s Entertainement are STILL relevant today, yes, since the 60’s.

Anyways the idol industry is big in history, and in variety, this is a message to promote you to listen and hopefully you find one that fits to you liking.

NOW! To what I am here

Today I’ll review the anime I watched because one of my favorite idols had a character in…

  SHINEPOST

  LET’S START

First of all, the anime is a Light Novel adaptation, the novel titled “Shine Post: Nee Shitteta? Watashi wo Zettai Idol ni Suru Tame no, Goku Futsuu de Atarimae na, Tobikkiri no Mahou”... I cannot say a lot about this point, I wish I was able to found it translated to english or spanish.

Moving on, I’ll try to not spoil it, but the supernatural tag MyAnimeList gives us is really intriguing at first; it has its reason to exist, and is pretty good, not really heavy, but it helps a lot to understand the characters.

To resume it, is that a group called TiNgS is going to reach their first anniversary and haven’t being able to fill yet a live house

 (being this the smaller spaces to have a concert) while their rival group who debuted basically at the same time, HY:RAIN, has a confirmed Nippon Budokan concert (we know thanks to OshiBudo this place is IMPORTANT to idols), so TiNgS got a mission, to be able to fill the Nakano Sun Plaza’s concert hall or they would disband, 

to reach this mission they get a manager, it seems a bit weird to me they didn’t have one, but anyways, this manager will help them to release the best of each member to complete the mission.

    I said I watched it because of an idol voicing a character in it, 

but I must say I got trapped by the story way before her voice appeared in the anime, so, IS A GOOD ANIME.

  Shows a lot of effort from chika idols to reach their dreams, and at the same time their problems, specially thanks to this supernatural point, when you realize what it does, you can understand all the story as it is going towards the climax of the episode.

  We see the girls rehearsal, handing pamphlets of their concerts, 

planning what to do with their manager, and even working their own self-trust, on the trust of their group mates.

We also get flashbacks about why they are there, why they decided to become idols (spoiler alert: it’s because of an idol).

And going towards the 9th episode IS ALL SO WOW, you get it in the 8th, but it flows nicely in my opinion.

Story wise, I would lie if i say i didn’t cry or i didn’t get mad (I’m really mad at one specific character, but isn’t that mean, is in a way understandable, but still kinda mean). I really recommend it.

The songs are good! From TINGS (this way to write the group’s name is a hint for the story); and also from HY:RAIN, and i’m not saying this being “biased” but i like a bit more HY:RAIN’s songs.

The animation is nice, the way they used the 3D for dance scenes is, in my opinion, nice. I just have one thing I dislike; and is the fact that I DON’T SEE ANY MICROPHONE! not even diadem ones.

  This one is the exception about microphones.

The images we got at some endings I find amazing, some are like Paris themed.

  The SHINEPOST twitter account gives us 1koma, which amplifies (i want to think so) the lore, or at least I think so. And those are SO CUTE and funny, even though I don’t understand most of them!

Character development is good.

I gave it a 9/10 on MyAnimeList, but I think it might be 10 sometimes.

  Do you want to ask me if there’s anything (in slang) fruity? Well, I want to say no, because… I don’t have any reason really, I just (and surprisingly enough) didn’t had a medium amount of focus to even make up ships, but! the friendship that Momiji and Rio have is so pure and lovely.

 And Yukine is like a mom for TINGS, always helping in even the most ordinary things. 

Aoba (even tho small amount of screen time) is for real a big sister (like, really she has her own little sister in her group) but also mom-like i think. 

I'd say they’re all family, and the interactions between both (and others) groups that the 1koma give us have that energy.

  All said here, see you next post.

I really hope you make a space and watch SHINEPOST (legally, here)

Best episode by far 😩 wow I’m speechless about their first full performance but there was a lot of good stuff in this episode.

For starters, the festival was a great idea. Everyone has been so stressed and worried about what’s going on that taking some time off to just let the whole town gather around celebrate was a good way to blow off some steam. All the usual fanfare of a summer festival, the food etc. really nice time.

Lailaps being afraid of bugs leading to him freaking out and finding Yohane’s staff is hilarious. So You’s theory about a bird carrying it off to a nest wasn’t too far off 😂. Luckily they were able to find it with enough time left in the episode to give us the first 9 member performance of the spin-off and wow it was amazing.

Very nostalgic to the OG series. The song is great and the new art style/ 3D/2D blend is incredible. It’s so wild looking back on how far idol performances have come in general in anime. In the latest love live series and in others like Shinepost and Idoly Pride. You can’t even tell the difference between the CG and drawn stuff at many points.

Can’t wait for Lailaps ep next week
