You know I have a soft spot for local idols like Akashi’s YENA☆. The girls give us a taste of their lives with this lyric promotional video for “Starlight”. The live looks like fun as the girls dance in member color-keyed leggins and sci-fi looking versions of seifuku. Lights are …

Today, we get the graduation solo from AKB48/HKT48 legend (and NSK logo) Sashihara Rino and “Watashi datte idol (私だってアイドル！)”. After a few clips of the girl laughing and laughing and laughing herself to death, we are introduced to the murder scene of Rino and the “Dead Rino” walking among us. …

I think the only time we’ve ever seen PaiPai Dekami here at New School Kaidan is her collaboration with Kikkawa You, 2018’s “Saikou no onna“. Say what you want about PaiPai and her breast antics, but there’s no denying that she has surrounded herself with some real aces in her …

Performed in one take, THE BANANA MONKEYS bring you something a little more on the idol side with their new promotional video “Nani-mono”. Starting in a classroom and ending up on a stage facsimile for a taste of live performances, the group provides more cute looks than you’d probably expect. …

Coming in with some support for their new album, today we get the latest from “DEVIL NO ID”. “Survivor (サバイバー)” gives us a length intro of a crying child in ruins as she’s greeted by a ghoul. I’m sure there’s a narrative here about how to survive in the margins …

This is a new one for the New PV Alerts. Today we try to penetrate the world of fairies in which elfloat inhabits. The trio of Maaya, Rika, and Mio have been performing since 2014, so it seems right to give them a place here at New School Kaidan. “Missing …

The latest release from Yoneko finds the girl out on the streets for some choreography out in the open. Wearing a pair of outfits and a long red ribbon around her pinky finger, Yoneko dances exuberantly in the narrow alley between shops as her more sinister sounding arrangement plays. “Kasei …

Coming in with their debut on avex, we have the short version for the new Tokimeki♡Sendenbu jam “Seishun heart shaker”. For the good times, the six girls (now with member Ann Julia) take things to the Toshimaen, an amusement park just on the other side of Tokyo. The girls look …
