New School Kaidan Japanese idol appreciation

The only release that included all of H!P’s current members since 2004’s ‘All for One & One for All’, ‘Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku’ showcases the full cast of the new generation. When announced, it was a pretty exciting prospect considering that H!P’s releases in the past quarter were better than …

It certainly wasn’t what I was expecting to see headlining when I woke up this morning. It looks like SDN48 is the first 48 group to disband, and it does so in a startlingly up-front manner. All the members of SDN will be graduating at once after their graduation concert …
