Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Well here’s a sign that Avex might be running out of ideas. They are going to be holding auditions for their new girl group, but are asking specifically for delinquent girls.
FUCK THE POLICE
avex is currently taking applications from juvenile delinquent girls (known as ‘yankees’) in the country for the “‘Yankee’ Idol Audition“. They’re calling for these girls to try venting their excessive passion and energy in the idol scene. Members that are selected will debut as the first idol group managed by newly created label “Bari Bari Records“.
This audition will fully develop the delinquents’ potential to create the ultimate “Tough Idols”, which is the antitheses of the typical cute idol. This will be a chance for the girls to depart from their wayward behavior and move towards a new start. Besides the usual criteria for physical appearance and singing ability, the girls will be judged by their individualistic values and way of living.
I seriously can’t tell if this is progress or just a gimmick concept meant to appeal to a niche.
Both?
CL must give it a try
Guess they figured hardcore-ish girl groups are in right now and they wanna give it a shot.
I don’t get how you can be a delinquent and an idol at the same time, kind of contradicts each other. “Real delinquents” wouldn’t even give a flying fuck about this.
It also depends on how you look at the current idol situation. AKB48 are pretty much dominating every idol thing right now so why not make an idol group that consists of polar opposites to AKB because any Japanese idol group not -48 is irrelevant.
I for one, am damn tired of the kawaii wave, +1 for avex but then again -10 for being avex.
Surprisingly…Momoclo is pretty popular. Their sales can’t touch 48 tho but it seem they got good level of recognition.
Seems mainly from women too, which strikes me as odd.
Exactly what I thought….
“Real delinquents” don’t care about this shit.
Hell I’m sure they beat up people who even mention this shit.
It would be awesome if they DIDN’T give a shit and started punching Music Station audience members and shit.
Da hell o.o
Real yankees are criminals, bike gang, and probably have criminal records/jailed.
So………….it’s going to be hard managing those people and IDEK if they can even find anyone wanting to be “idol” in the first place. :|
In term of concept, this is fucking interesting lol~
Japan already got…
porn star idols – Ebisu Muscats
idols you can meet/theater idols – AKB48/all the 48
power rangers idols – Momoclo
Now they have yankee idols lol
is it strange that I would love to see this happen?
No.
You can’t have delinquents as idols o_o
Idols are robots made to obey the rules and bring in money,and they whole point of being a delinquent is NEVER follow the rules,so………I’m confused !
Maybe it’s just a concept cause I don’t think that “real delinquents” will ever even think of being an idol in the first place…delinquent wannabes,maybe.
If this is boy group audition,i think Nichkhun (and Daesung) must give it a try….
All those clean cut girls that will be cracking their teacher over the head or robbing some old woman with dreams of being a delinquent idol
The images in my head…
I assumed they would really get like get ex-delinquents or something less heavy than what they actually said.
If I was a delinquent I would consider going for it shamelessly with the money in mind. (But that’s probably just me…)
This is a perfect idea! I cannot wait for when this delinquent idol group is nominated for something at an award show, lose the category their in, and get angry and shoot up the place.
That’s too gangsta.
*they’re
no chance in hell that they are actually trying to be progressive.
I don’t want to spoil the fun but truthfully yankee is not a type of thug we know in the West. They might scare the hell out of a country like Japan, but most foreigners living in Japan report them as being quite harmless.
Their most evil deed is riding loud bikes around the block in inconvenient hours.
Yankee’s aren’t real delinquents, they are average punks who think dying their hair, skipping school and smoking cigarettes makes them cool.
The REAL scary and violent delinquents who are cast into the yakuza are actually called chinpira. Yankees are high school punks while chinpira are juvenile criminals.
I actually want this to happen. Let’s see how it goes.
why can’t i stop laughing?
I from the south so when i hear yankee i think of old white southern people screaming. ‘damn you yankee sons of a bitch the war aint over!”
other than that avex is either brilliant or fucking gone retarded.
But the large japanese chick kneeling down looks like a chica to me. like her name should be rosa and she’ll fuck you up.
Why did I laugh at the Rosa comment, it was too funny. Now I can’t look at her the same with out giving her a chola voice.
I hope it’s true!
Actually Ayaman japan sound look like a pretty good alternative to AKB48
