I showed this art I made to my brother and all he could muster was "Amanda the Adventurer."

Everyone go watch #Aggretsuko on Netflix. Some wholesome rage and fury with a side of #KawaiiCore too.
And a surprisingly profound satire of modern day Japanese urban life.
Worth your time, particularly season 5.

Some #kawaiicore for you all...
Megitsune translates to vixen (a female fox).. foxes are quite magical in Japanese culture.

and this song is too.

#FridayNightJukebox is about songs not in English which works great for my ongoing dive into #KawaiiCore from #japan.

This is the anti Idol band Brand New Idol Society (BiS) , a pretty anarchic group that decided to kill the idealisation J-Pop bands.

But I'm going to show you the #noise side project they created: BiSKaidan, song is Suki Suki daisuki.

Warning it is very noisy, distorted and most people will not like it. It's an acquired taste, lol.

This is the same song (iine), but I wanted to share with you the powerhouse that these girls are on live shows.

The audience is definitely having a blast and they're all rocking their hearts out. Su chan, the central singer has a death scream that's bone chilling too.

Definitely one of the shows I hope to get to see live one day.

There's also the more dramatic, eldritch horror of Necronomidol.

They function more like a regular idol band, which means that they're lineup is frequently changing, but somehow their style and quality keeps consistent.

If your thing is thick guitar riffs and kick ass heavy metal solos, maybe check out Ironbunny.

Ironbunny is a robot rabbit who came from the future to start a band. And he rocks!

Part of the fun of these #KawaiiCore bands is the characters and stories around them.

On the more hostile, aggressive end of the spectrum sits 14th Generation Toilet Hanako San. She's the reincarnation of a 444 year old ghost.

Her rotten scream voice is genuinely kinda scary.
Apparently she spits on people in her shows too! Fun!

@pezmico didn't know #KawaiiCore was the name of what BabyMetal do.
They should get more credit for their crazy fun music 🤘

And then there's Passcode, who use a lot more of EDM elements, and shameless auto tune. Some really high energy #KawaiiCore

And if what you're after is some musical genre #KawaiiCore whiplash, you can't go wrong with iine.

In this song they go from something you'd find in Dance Dance Revolution to some teeny hip hop to the most bad ass metal drop and guitar riff at roughly 2:05.

It's a guilty pleasure for me, I love it. #music

Another one of my favourite #KawaiiCore songs is HeadBanger by Baby Metal.
These girls are hugely famous and have some serious metal attitude.

Do you know #KawaiiCore?
It's definitely not for everyone's taste but I find it very fun!
It's the unholy offspring of J-Pop and Heavy Metal.

I enjoy it a lot, hope you do too!
