BanG Dream! – Final Review

August 7, 2017 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Artist: 刃天

A few months back, I shared my thoughts about Kidani Takaaki believing that idol boom will die and the band boom will happen. Of course, that never really went into fruition since girl band shows are not too different from idol anime.

Bang Dream and the Girl-Band Boom, Does it Even Exist or is it a Pipe dream?

April 18, 2017 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

For a while now, I have come across an article about BanG Dream. It’s about a statement that Kidani Takaaki made.  He said that “the idol boom that has continued until now is already finished this year.”

In other words, he believes that idols will make way for the girl-band boom. However, I am very skeptical of that for many reasons that I will share.
