Its been a couple of weeks so that means it’s time for another ALT iDOL PODCAST! Unfortunately the past few weeks have once again been full of announcements of graduations so the podcast starts off on a bit of a down note. There was still plenty of cool stuff that happened though so get ready as we catch you right up to date with all of the latest …

Its been a couple of weeks so that means it’s time for another ALT iDOL PODCAST! Unfortunately the past few weeks have been full of announcements of graduations or groups disbanding/rebooting with totally new line-ups so the podcast starts off on a bit of a down note. There was still plenty of cool stuff that happened though so get ready as we catc…

Happy New Year everybody! Welcome to the first podcast of the year, we hope you all had a great holiday period but now it’s time to knuckle down and get back to business. The usual crew of Terry, John and myself are back to bring you all of the latest news, releases, song previews and all of that good stuff from the world of Japanese Alternative Id…

The gang is back together this week for a regularly scheduled, not-3 hour long podcast. That’s right, you’ve got me, Terry and John for the first time in a very long time. Its been hard to get everyone together to record a podcast lately so it was nice to be finally able to make it happen. There’s a ton of news for us to recap from the past few wee…

Since both Terry and myself are back from Tokyo and have been for a while now, we thought it was about time we got around to doing another ALT iDOL PODCAST. We had originally planned for this to be a regular episode, but John had to cancel due to some work related issues. So instead we got Kris on to talk all about our recent trips. We talk about s…

This week’s ALT iDOL PODCAST is the last show before Terry (@ramenshuriken) and myself head off to Japan for most of November. It’s also the show where we get the band back together as John (@StraightFromJpn) joins us for the first time in a while. We talk about his trip to Portland to see NECRONOMIDOL, our Japan trip plans and a whole bunch of oth…

This week we’re back again with another episode of the ALT iDOL PODCAST. John was busy seeing NECRONOMIDOL in Portland this weekend so friends of the show Kris and Ethan join Terry (@ramenshuriken) and myself to cover all of the latest news, releases and opinions from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. Things went a little off the rails at tim…

Its been a couple of weeks so that means it’s time for a new ALT iDOL PODCAST! This episode is a 2-man show with Terry (@ramenshuriken) and myself where we’re trying out some new stuff, so please let us know what you think of this format in the comments, on social media, etc. Don’t worry though, we’re still covering all of the latest news, opinions…

After taking the better part of a month off, the podcast is back rested, refreshed and more importantly ready to get you caught up on all of the latest news, MVs and talking points from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. Not the busiest time of year for news but we have plenty of new releases and MVs to talk about so sit back and enjoy! Join t…

Well, its been a couple of weeks so it must be time for a new Alt Idol Podcast! John skipped out on us again to go see NECRONOMIDOL, Yanamute, Hanako-san and a bunch of other people in California so friend of the show Kris joins Terry and myself to recap all of the news, MVs and opinions from the past couple of weeks in the world of Japanese Altern…

It only took us about a month, but we’re finally back with a brand new Alt Idol Podcast. Unfortunate John (@StraightFromJpn) couldn’t make it to the recording this time so it’s up to Terry (@ramenshuriken) and myself to try and get you caught up with all of the news, MVs and talking points from the past month in the world of Japanese Alternative Id…

Its already been 2 weeks and now we’re back with your regularly scheduled Alt Idol Podcast! Covering all of the latest happenings from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol in audio and/or video form! This week, along with Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself, we are also joined by special guest and resident WACK slave Ethan …

Its been a couple of weeks since the last one, so I guess now is just about the right time for a new episode of the Alt Idol Podcast. Truth be told it hasn’t been the most eventful couple of weeks in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol, but Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself still managed to talk about all of the latest n…

Oh hey, haven’t done one of these in a while have we? Well the podcast is back this week after a bit of an extended break that all of us needed for various reasons. We gave things a new lick of paint while we were away though so everything should be all shiny and new looking now, let us know if you like it. As always I’m joined by Terry (@ramenshur…

So yeah first of all, I had absolutely nothing to do with the thumbnail used for this episode of the podcast. You can give all of the credit for that one to Terry through your social media network of choice if you so wish. Anyway, we’re back again with a new episode of The Alternative Idol podcast. Its been a pretty crazy couple of weeks in the wor…

Its been a couple of weeks, but here we are back again with a brand new episode of The Alternative Idol Podcast. You know, the one where Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself do our best to keep you up to date with all of the latest goings on in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. Fans living in the UK and the west coast of…

Not only do we have a new episode of the Alternative Idol Podcast for you this week but we also have a very special guest too! First Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) take you through all of the latest news, MVs and opinions from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol then I show up late so we can all have a chat with Derek Vasconi…

The podcast is back after a much needed break last week. Well I thought it was much needed at least, I’m not entirely sure how Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) felt about it. In any case, we’re back with another packed podcast featuring all of the latest news, MVs and talking points from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. It …

I’m not really sure how this keeps happening, but the podcast returns for what is somehow a 5th week in a row. Even more unbelievable is the fact that we actually have way more to talk about than we did last week. I mean sure, Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and especially myself wouldn’t mind getting a week off every once in a whil…

The podcast is back for a fourth week in a row somehow. Not sure how that happened but here we are. Unfortunately we don’t have any special guests for this one, but all of us are either very tired, somewhat drunk or both! If that’s not a reason to tune in then I don’t know what is. Despite our various levels of impairment, Terry (@ramenshuriken), J…

So the podcast returns for a third week in a row, something that definitely doesn’t happen that often so obviously it has to be a special occasion or something right? Well, it was actually the 1 year anniversary of the podcast…but we didn’t realize that until after the fact. Thankfully Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself were…

The podcast is back for a second week in a row, something that hasn’t happened in quite some time. Not only was there a decent amount of stuff from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol for Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself to talk about from the past seven days, but we also hit 500 subscribers on YouTube and wanted to cel…

The world of Japanese Alternative Idol appears to finally be waking from its winter hibernation at long last. What that means is that Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself are not only back with a new podcast much quicker than recent times, but we also have all manner of exciting news, releases and discussions to share with all…

Well, its been a minute since we did one of these huh? What can I say, pickings have been very slim these past few weeks in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. Thankfully Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself finally managed to scrape together something that vaguely resembles a show for all of you. Certainly by no means the…

We’re back with the first Alternative Idol Podcast of 2018! The year started off really quiet on the news front but man have the last few days been pretty crazy. So crazy that Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself needed over 2 hours to get you guys all caught up with everything. Sorry about that I guess? Well, seeing as you’re…

Happy New Year from everyone at The Alternative Idol Podcast! We didn’t do a fancy end of year episode like everyone else seems to be doing (yet anyway) but we weren’t about to take the week off either. You’re probably all super hungover right now and that’s okay, I’m sure 2 hours of listening to Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and …

Well, that last podcast ended up being a bit of a mess for the VOD viewers didn’t it? Those lovely copyright gremlins over at YouTube really got us there! Anyway, this week’s episode should be a bit less bothersome (for you guys anyway, I can’t get the stupid mp3 to upload currently) and hopefully we’ve banished the gremlins for now. It’s just me a…

Man, it sure have been a while since I sat down to record and episode of The Alternative Idol Podcast with my buddies Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn). Well, I’m back from Japan and this week I make my triumphant return to the show that aims to bring you all of the latest news, MVs and opinions from the world of Japanese Alternati…

So you might have noticed there hasn’t been a podcast for the last 3 weeks or so. Well when two thirds of the hosting line-up go to Japan at the same time, these things just kinda happen. I’m actually still in Japan as I’m typing this so I wasn’t able to sit in on this one. I’m sure Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) did a fine job …

We’re back again, with what now seems to be turning into the bi-weekly Alternative Idol Podcast. You can’t really do much about it when there isn’t much going on in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol on a weekly basis right now though. Still, Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself will endeavor to bring you all of the news, …

Well, the trend of not having much to talk about for a week and a half and then getting hit upside the head with a whole bunch of news in the space of a couple of days appears to be continuing. That’s the reason why there wasn’t an Alternative Idol Podcast last week. You know, the one where Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself…

Its been a pretty brutal month or so in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. There hasn’t been much news or many new releases for Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself to podcast about so we’ve only been able to do them every other week recently. We’ve got a new one for you this week though so it’s all good, and you can expe…

You guys know how it is by now, some weeks the Idol Gods bless us with a bounty of news, MVs, etc to talk about and other weeks…well we’re struggling. Thankfully this week it was the former and Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself are back to get you all caught up with the latest happenings in the world of Japanese Alternative…

Hey look, it’s a new Alternative Idol Podcast. We took last week off because there wasn’t much going on but Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself are back this week to bring you all of the latest news, MVs and opinions from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. We also announce the winners of our 200 subscriber giveaway, so m…

Man, it’s getting harder and harder to come up with an original introduction for these things. Anyway, we’re back with another Alternative Idol podcast for your listening pleasure. Join Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself as we recap all the latest news, MVs and opinions from the past week in Japanese Alternative Idol. We’re …

Hey look, an all-new Alternative Idol Podcast for your listening pleasure. You know, the podcast where Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself do our very best to bring you all of the news, MVs and opinions from past week (or in this case two weeks) in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. John even called in from his new mansi…

After last week’s pretty lowkey affair, boy did the Idol Gods really deliver unto us a bounty of things to talk about this week. Obviously the BABYMETAL and Guso Drop news are the big hitters this week but there was actually so much other stuff that we ended up having to cut things out. I’m pretty sure that’s a first, but we’ll be sure to catch up …

We’re back for another week with a brand new Alternative Idol Podcast. I’ll be honest, this one is probably a bit more lowkey than usual in the star power department but that’s okay. It’d be pretty boring if Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself talked about the same old stuff all the time. Plus you guys might discover somethin…

The podcast is back after being forced to take the last week off due to their being pretty much nothing to talk about. Not much we can do if our subject matter decides to collectively take the week off too. Don’t worry though, Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself have a packed show for you this week and it kicks off with Terry…

Another week and another episode of The Alternative Idol Podcast for you, THE PEOPLE! Most of you know the deal by now, Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself try our best to bring to you all of the news, MVs and opinions from the past week in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol in about 90 minutes or less. Like most weeks, w…

As some of you might have noticed, there wasn’t an Alternative Idol Podcast last week. We wanted to do one, but things outwith our control happened that prevented Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself from bringing you all of the news and MVs from the past week in the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. We’re back this week tho…

For the second week in a row we have an absolutely stacked Alternative Idol Podcast for your listening pleasure. Talking points certainly appear to be coming thick and fast as we enter the summer months and we even have some MVs to talk about this week too. Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) join me as always, because teamwork makes…

It’s another week so that means it’s time for another Alternative Idol Podcast. I actually bothered to show up for this one too so you guys have no excuse not to watch this week. I’m feeling much better now by the way, thanks for asking. Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) are also there of course, but they didn’t bring any of the au…

So I let the side down big time this week, as someone decided to share their cold with me which meant I was in no fit state to record a podcast. Thankfully Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) still smashed it…well, apart from whatever went wrong with Terry’s microphone anyway. We think we’ve fixed it though so it should be all good f…

I bet that thumbnail got your attention. It isn’t even clickbait, unlike most of YouTube. Anyway, the podcast is back for the 4th week in a row which is definitely some kind of record. Terry (@ramenshuriken) and John (@StraightFromJpn) join me as usual and we run down all of the news, MVs and other such things from the past week in the world of Jap…

The show returns for what I think has to be a record third week in a row. We were a bit light on the video side of things this week but the news and some great discussions more than made up for it. We like to have fun with these podcasts but we also want them to be entertaining, informative and above all else accurate. All that while attempting to …

Hey we somehow managed to do a show 2 weeks in a row! I’m also actually on this one so that’s probably going to make you very happy or very sad (if you’re actually reading this website then hopefully it’s the former). It was a pretty solid week for news, MVs and all the other stuff we usually cover but we still managed to go off the rails a time or…

All of the Idol groups took last week off, so there wasn’t really anything to podcast about. This week was still pretty light on the news side of things but there were plenty of MVs to talk about and we tried out a new segment that we’d love to hear your feedback on. I say we, but I wasn’t actually able to make the recording of this show so you’re …

Another week and another packed Alternative Idol Podcast, where Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself do our best to bring you all of the current news and MV releases from the world of Japanese Alternative Idol. We had a lot of fun with this show and hopefully that comes across in the recording. Feedback however is always appre…

We had to take last week off due to some prior commitments, but Terry (@ramenshuriken), John (@StraightFromJpn) and myself are back, once again bringing you the best Alternative Idol podcast on the internet. We have a packed show for you, with a ton of news and new MVs to talk about and all in a little over 90 minutes. Also be sure to listen all th…
