my TOP SNH48G idols (January 2026)

 I've been a bit out of the loop with the chinese idol world. It's been 3 years since my last post, wow. It took me a while to get used to the newer lineup as the girls I was a fan of are now mostly gone. And shuffles that mess the rankings too.

I miss Fei QinYuan ;_;

my TOP 10 Active Idols (January 2026)

 I've been thinking on making a list of my active favorites (and trying not to make it endless) for a while...
Until 2017 the first spot was always for Kojima Haruna. For a few months it was Kudo Haruka but she graduated in 2017 too. The top spot went to AiNA THE END for 5 years. But BiSH disbanded and she became an artist, so no longer aplicable to the idol list. In 2024 a new girl took the top spot and holding on it!

 

.Well, I managed to reduce it to a TOP 10!  

 

my TOP 25 STARDUST PLANET idols (January 2026)

 STARDUST PLANET is really changing...Really few remain from the time they were known as 3B Junior...

AMEFURASSHI is disbanding in March.

LumiUnion is disbanding in April. 

ukka is disbanding in May.

An Julia is graduating from Tokisen on March. 

 

And it's been only a month since TEAM SHACHI disbanded. Truly not the greatest time to follow STARDUST PLANET.

A Look Back at My Favorite Disbanded Idol Groups (Part 1)

 I’ve been running this blog since 2014, and during that time I’ve watched so many idol groups debut and eventually say goodbye. So in this post (Part 1!), I wanted to look back at some of my favorite disbanded idol groups. 

Listing some of them and my favorite songs! Will do more parts so it doesn't end up being too long

 

my Favorite UNIDOL girls (December 2025)

 I've posted about UNIDOL groups before (chocolat lumière and Natsumezaka46 come to mind) but if you don't know what it is: 

UNIDOL is a nationwide inter-university competition where female college students perform idol-style dance covers. 

 

Anyway, there are many amazing girls (a few become actual idols later)!
