A great idol group I've been talking with and following over the past few years. They introduced me to the two-step dance that's popular in the underground idol scene. Aggressive, yet cute, they are constantly doing live shows every week!

Man, you might just get me into idol stuff in my old days... Until recently, "idol" was basically synonymous with highly polished, overproduced and a squeaky clean image in my mind. So "underground idol" was basically an oxymoron to me. But this performance is really raw, in the good sense, i.e. gives an authentic impression. I really liked it!

When you say you've been talking with them (also in the 100-YOKAI post), do you mean on Twitter? Or are you in Japan and could actually meet them at events?
