IZONE News and Discussion Thread

I love how much Korean girl groups have attracted lesbians and women in general lately I especially see it with Loona. Thanks to getting into K-Pop with IZ*ONE finally, I've also made a lot more lesbian friends lol

It's a nice change (not only from 48G fans but also western musicians I listen to)

 

Izone will be featured in zip! The monday.

Fansite masters fled from the venue to the same area. Japanese staff was much stricter.

Not just Japanese members were amazed with girl dominating fan crowd, male fans too.
I've told you Aijeu should be given a concept different from AKB48, they should go with female youth catering concept. And, since the fan demography is like this, Producer Akimoto wasn't the right choice, he was clueless how to please fan girls. Girl crush and Producer Sasshi for next comeback.

As the fan demography is girls dominated, most Sakura and Nako's old fans didn't move to IZ*One, huh?

 

Judging from the fanmeeting results I'd say at least most of Sakura's did, either that or she got a huge amount of new fans, but the first is the most probable scenario

 

I always thought that KPop girl group in Japan attract female fan more since SNSD & Kara days. Anyway, when will we get the PV.

 

If you dont mind spoiling yourself with a LQ version here it is (+ a mking of at the beginning)

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

The MV is good. Although I don't understand the context of that colorful trash.

 

I think the director of the MV is Ninagawa Mika? based on the popping colours on the mv. That is so her trademark lol. Just a guessing 'tho

 

I think it's a similiar aesthetic, but Ninagawa's PVs usually look more expensive than this

 

Sky Perfect TV will air the evening showcase on 2/6 at 7pm!

Why don’t they perform “Rolling Rolling” ever when they do all the other concept evaluation songs? I mean, that was the winning song

 

they havent performed To Reach You either

 

Agreed. This looks cheap. It's basically 3 sets with wide and close up shots. The only set that excites me is the one with neon lights.

This looks like a morning musume pv. Tragic. I knew AKS would fuck up
