Then I came home to my day job and the work that had piled up from taking a few days off, my laptop got corrupted and died, plus I picked up a cold in LA that's stuck around all week just added to the total drag. But I just have to think back to last weekend for the motivation and energy to power though.

10 Years of Homicidols: By the Numbers

Well, look at us. Almost ten years old. Only a handful of idol groups make it that long and, honestly, we’re just as surprised as you are. What started as a questionable idea (“let’s write about underground idols from half-way around the world who perform in…
10 Years of Homicidols: By the Numbers
Well, look at us. Almost ten years old. Only a handful of idol groups make it that long and, honestly, we’re just as surprised as you are. What started as a questionable idea (“let’s write about underground idols from half-way around the world who perform in and speak a language that we don’t even understand; how hard can it be?”) somehow mutated into a decade-long obsession that’s eaten up countless weekends, introduced us to innumerable friends from around the world, and exposed us to a legion of idols and oshis and losses that we’ll never emotionally recover from.

Best of Homicidols: The Boys of Alternative Idol Revisited
Next up in our Best of Homicidols countdown to our 10th anniversary, we would like to revisit one of the most popular articles we've ever published. Back in 2022, Cal and I teamed up for a feature exploring the dearth of male idols in the alternative and underground idol space while, at the same time, boy groups dominate large sectors of the mainstream J-Pop charts. We also wanted to recognize those groundbreaking male idols who were making significant contributions to our favorite genre.

Lots of A-List releases and other pleasant surprises. It’s almost all good news in this edition of The Weekender.

Banner image: SITUASION. This week was quite eventful. We had new releases dropping from A-listers almost every day plus a couple of surprise member ADDITIONS which is unusual in a genre that specializes in unexpected member subtractions. We welcome this the new trend! Since there is a lot to get through, let's just jump right in:

Banner image: Jiemei. I am living vicariously this weekend though all of those around the world attending the many overseas idol lives taking place on almost every continent (everyone always overlooks Antarctica and poor penguin wota). Unfortunately, I am at home preparing for surgery on Tuesday. My spine is getting operated on which is good news as it will, hopefully, fix me up so I can get back to traveling around the world and seeing idols. Wish me luck! In the meantime, idols are all over the world this weekend:
