My life as a fan of some K-POP band.. will be coming sooner or later.
As you know, all posts of this blog have been missed the right time. This post is the first post written in the exact day what the event occurs. I didn’t expect whether I write this post tonight. I was very shocked to write blog post right now. I think that this event is the starting point of changing my leisure life.
I went to work just same as other days and visit youtube sometimes. I felt something different in the youtube posts (not video or shorts, there are posts.) There is no details but very sad mood in some fanpage. I felt strange and searched web and found the reason they are sad.
Actually, if I visit instagram first, I can know what happens at once. (Link) The member of K-POP band RCPC, Takahashi Juri left the team. The content is written in Korean and Japanese. She is Japanese but the member of K-POP band, she uploaded the Korean first and Japanese at the back. It maybe secret to the global fans.. There is no English version. I read both of Korean and Japanese considering the case the content differ, but both of them have almost same contents. First of all, the member and entertainment company say same – they break up coolly due to contract expiration. But I feel very anxious the situation well-known member go away suddenly.
The break up is not progress so suddenly for insider. Juri uploaded her plan just after the announce of leaving tthe team. She doesn’t show detailed plan but it seems that she has own plan. Chadodo in girl’s reverse said ‘the end of job moving is self-employed state. Rose finally go that way.
I am not official fan club of RCPC, whose name is Ketchy. I was official fan club in 2nd period, 4th period now. But I always buy album and search their activity very often. I was very shocked to encounter this situation. I watched her stage last night.
I like this stage. I like the song’s mood and this song come out in very important scene of the animation movie ‘Weathering with you’. (director : Makoto Shinkai) I will recommend this song who watch the animation.
Hmm..
As I saw above, this news may be initiate my life as fan of some K-POP bands.
Started in 2016, my K-POP fan life is proceeding in 3 branches. The first branch is – not ended yet but lose energy since last autumn. The second is hard to continue because the group’s activity is so small this year. The last is fan of RCPC. So I shocked very much.
Anyway, I saw her in real, last year. I didn’t know it was last time see the Juri of RCPC. Juri’s activity in last year was great. She acted as virtual girl group candidate and got 6th (unfortunately, the debut was 5 members) She experienced another survival contest in spring-summer, come back in September.
It has been 8 year from 2016. The K-POP idol circumstance is changed significantly. There are many event, most important event of it was COVID-19. During the COVID situation, many minor group get disbanded because there were no stage. After COVID, some girl group get amazing album sales and swept domestic market. (In 2010s, boy groups tend to sell many album while girl groups tend to get higher score in music apps. Now, the major get all of them.) The domestic market size is not expand much, so I think the K-POP scene get ‘winner takes all’. I like minor groups – I can’t spend many time to K-POP, so too much activity makes missing to watch all activity. and Major groups sell so many album so I can’t feel my purchase is meaningful. – but the market bothers minor teams.
