The alternative idol / J-pop outfit Zetsubou Kinema (絶望キネマ) — a theatrical alt-idol quintet from Japan with a tragicomedy concept — has just dropped a brand-new music video for “絶望キネマサーカス (Zetsubou Kinema Circus)” (Despair Cinema Circus). This release leans into their quirky performance-art aesthetic, blending idol-pop hooks with dramatic staging that nods to both J-pop and the broader alternative idol scene.
Welcome to our little corner of the internet where Japanese rock, hard rock, metal, punk, Visual Kei, and alternative idol chaos collide! This site is a passionate hobby project—currently rising from the ashes of a digital disaster of Megadeth proportions (yep, we lost data on 700 bands to a rogue black hole… RIP).
The site is now fully up and running again. New Music and New Videos are live. An updated radio show calendar is in progress, along with the news section. A webshop featuring a wide range of exclusive T-shirts is on the way. Band information will be added continuously as time allows.
Stick with us—follow on Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube—and ride the sonic wave with us! 🤘
