Podcasts about japanese idol

Perfect Blue Ani-May continues on and this time we are looking back nearly 30 years to the classic psychological thriller that introduced the western world to the intricacies of Japanese Idol culture and unhealthy parasocial fandom in that sub-culture, all through the singular vision of the acclaimed director Satoshi Kon. Based loosely on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by writer Yoshikazu Takeuchi, this film explores the trauma of sexual assault, the fear and uncertainty of dealing with stalkers, and the existential dread that comes from gaslighting and potential mental collapse from an unravelling reality. It is a far cry from the usual anime of the same time period and it remains as topical and relevant today as it was in 1997. Dion made the call for us to watch this, as he wanted a classic piece of Anime, what none of us were really prepared for was the uncompromising film that we watched. Jill was far more up to speed on the content and style while Quinny thought he'd seen it and then realised he probably hadn't. All of them had a lot to process from this episode. Please note the film does include some disturbing and graphic imagery of sexual assault, and our podcast does discuss the content. As such a heavy trigger warning if advised. Synopsis A pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past. https://youtu.be/BZ2cXEF3ar0 A huge shout-out to the beautiful flower children and hardened warriors who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

Farages Fucked Face is back for his fourth appearance on RP in 2025, in a sign of our increasing desperation and inability to book big guests. This time it's a two-hander, in which I sit down with him to watch a documentary about Japanese idol culture, which aired as part of the BBC's Storyville series under the name TOKYO GIRLS in 2017. We do live commentary on the whole film, but before that we chat a little about movies and even some politics.

Today we sit down with Heidi from Japanese underground idol group Merkmal Mermal, who talks to us about the origins of Japan's idol culture, as well as her own unique challenges as a foreigner in the idol scene.

We seek acceptance in the Love Me section this week. In real life, Sarah tells us all about her TwitchCon experience while Joe finally finishes Scavengers Reign. We didn't play Baulders Gate this week so we got recommendations! In Skip Beat, Kyoko joins LME. She gets assigned as the only member of the Love Me section, a thinly disguised attempt to make her do grunt labor. Her first major assignment is to protect the last Japanese Idol, Ruri, from the sun. Will she be able to achieve this daunting task without major injury? No, the answer is no. Recommendations: Joe - Kubo and the Two StringsSarah - Golden Hour

After nearly 7 years, we have a great deep dive into some fandoms that have been untouched. I was lucky enough to have CandyMon join me to talk about them! Candy first kicks things off with talking about Japanese Idol anime and games. We touch on big fandoms like Love Live, to shows like Hypnosis Mic, and Milgram. Candy also talks about the games and their loot box/gachapon style rewards. From outfits to characters, and the variety of games that are out there. Then we change gears and talk about the video game, Danganronpa. Candy talks about first discovering the game, what they like about it, some ties and influences to other media and games, and more. We wrap up with Candy talking about Cosplay. He talks about first getting into Cosplay, taking a break from it, and then getting back into it again. From some of their favorite cosplays, to what they're working on now, and their grail cosplay (which may surprise you!).

In this episode, our old friend Zac Saxton (CatchFiveBats) walks us through his 10 years of Japanese idol fandom that took him from following major idols like Takahashi Ai to being a fan leader in the local idol scene in Nagoya, Japan. These experiences led to Japanese speaking fluency, connections and friendships throughout Japan, and an intimacy with a lifestyle that few outsiders experience on his level. What does he have to say after 10 years? "You probably couldn't pay me to support another group on the same level." Find out why in this week's Tokyo Splosion.   Music by Clint Breeze https://clintbreeze.bandcamp.com/

Before you listen to episode 53 of the Dead Air Podcast we have one question for you. Who are you connected to? The question that resonates with our characters as Japan is hit with an unprecedented wave of inexplicable suicides. Seemingly happy and well adjusted people ending their own lives en masse have the police force baffled and grasping for explanations. Stranger still is the grisly clues being left behind. The horrific events can't seem to squash the national success of Dessert; a Japanese Idol band whose fun infectious tunes have everyone dancing but, of course these two things couldn't be connected, could they? Also, Wes and Lydia answer fan questions about what sort of horror movie they would like to make. It all starts now!
