I have serious problems with this video. Youtube keeps pushing this video all the time. I like some idol group because I am music fan who likes weird music. There is plenty of that in Japan. Japan also has unhealthy obsession with young girls. Both overlap in idol groups. Usually is one dominant and other is almost non-existent.. All the bands and artists I have put best albums lists are concentrating on music. Usually ones concentrating on unhealthy obsession doesn’t make good music. And then there is this video.
I like the song but watching the video makes me feel like I am watching someone’s kink video without having obsession for the thing. I became sensitive to these things after reading long blog post of how living in Japan killed love for anime and manga. Post is in Finnish but if you want to check it is here. If you want to read about problems of idol culture you can check this Cracked post.
These videos with shy young girls dressing sexy make me want to stop following all idol groups. They just feel so wrong after knowing something about the culture they are made in. It is reminder some of the fans are not in it for the music. And it makes you thing if you want to be part of that fandom. Then I remember not everyone in business have this unhealthy obsession and they want their groups to stay away from that part of idol culture. For example Necronomidol kicked one of their member out of the group earlier this year when she posted too sexy pictures on her social media. She was told not to do it before doing it.
About that video’s group. This song is only song of theirs I found interesting. The song is one rare exception when group concentrating on unhealthy obsession can make good music.
