Idol Fandoms 2020: Other J-pop

 Outside of Johnny's & Associates and Hello! Project I do not follow many J-pop idols. I am more invested with with non-idol J-pop acts outside of those but I am always open to checking out new artists so there are exceptions.



As of now the biggest exception is the idol group Chu-Z. I've been following them since the release of their first album in 2014. They have gone through a few member line up changes and are currently a nine member unit. Though the concept of the group of being able to switch between cute and cool still remains and is a part of why I continue to enjoy the group. I also love that the members have been overtime finding their own way to help contribute to the group, like Luna writing songs for them and Miku getting acting work that helps not only raise her profile but also of the group.


I am not sure if BABYMETAL really fits into the idol category anymore, but I will keep them here for now at least. Still love this group, but I am a sucker of rock, especially when it mixes in other genres so it almost feels like the group was made for me to love.


Other than that there are no other groups I can really say that I follow. Though I do enjoy the music of Wasuta, but have not delved any deeper than that for them.
