This is a thread for discussion of idols for all of us who are learning Japanese that uses the manipulation of the media in which idols appear to better our Japanese (これマジ）, and just because, we like AIDORU. For the record, this was my idea and not Mark’s.

I hereby give birth to this thread by remembering the roots of this generation’s idols started:

[4:44:30] Mark Weber: There are a few of us here on the TextFugu BB who study Japanese, and like idols as well. This thread is for discussion of idols, but the main focus will most likely be the AKB family. Anything can be taken up here, and take it more like a sub-forum at a forum, but please try to stay on topic and keep related to idols.
If you are not familiar with what Idols are, this is NOT the thread to as that question, and I will encourage you to read
