1 Windows. List of t-back u15 idols Regardless of the album's imbalanced efforts, Triangle rocketed Perfume into idol pop's fame orbit, from which they are yet to return. Of course, idol pop popularity begets idol pop trappings, and soon after the release of Triangle, the product endorsements, sponsorships, and endless advertisement requests came rolling in. The result is evident in 2011's watered down effort, JPN, Over a half-century later and in the face of multiple sexual harassment charges by former boy band members, Kitagawa's influence has not waned. Rather, it's studied. Scholars at Meiji University recently created a social psychology course on Kitagawa's methodology and included in the syllabus are a few chapters on Johnny's most precious gem: Arashi. The five members of Arashi are idol pop's ultimate stalwarts. Active since 1999 and with plenty of highs and lows under its belt, Arashi is unrelenting. Not surprisingly, each member of Arashi started his career as a Johnny junior before being tapped to join Arashi. Upon formation, the group got to work quickly and found immediate success with their debut single, "A RA SHI," which is their best-selling single of all time. Thankfully, those who do end up taking the plunge into the immersive world of idol pop don't have to hold their breath for long; their careers are often as short-lived and ephemeral as the blooming of a cherry blossom. This is in large part due to idol pop's obsessive prioritization of youth. Being young is the central tenet of idol pop from which all of other key cultural characteristics of the genre flow. Some idols-in-training are as young as seven while most are under 20. Within being young, one must also be or at least create the illusion of being saccharine, chaste, demure, and sincere, so to not shatter the fantasyland in which all idol pop fans dwell. A little dose of kawaii, the Japanese quality of cuteness, also goes a long way. Idol pop stars are only considered a finished product when they are able to successfully suspend the outside realities of their fans, somehow establishing an emotional and profitable connection between themselves as packaged goods and the fans as consumers. It's an order as tall as Tokyo's skyscrapers, but when it's filled, the results are fascinating and worth understanding, seeing as Japan is the world's second largest music market and idol pop is its industry's crown jewel. In this instance, kawaii is deployed to elicit glee from tweens and salaciousness from adult, manga-loving men AKB48's two largest fan bases. As the mostly minor-aged girls flounce about in lingerie

2 and feed each other cherries, a viewer's base instincts can't help but flare and rev. It's like looking at a Balthus painting. Young viewers might find the kawaii aspects of it endearing, but anyone above the age of 12 will be suspect of both the video's stars and makers. Not surprisingly, there has been no shortage of reactions to this video. Some pundits consider it a humanitarian crisis; others call it merely incendiary. But most agree that there's something unsettling about its treatment of the young girls, and perhaps rightfully so. That being said, this video, and others like it (of which there are many), isn't intended to be controversial. Japan has a rich history of creating fantasy worlds for consumers, and AKB48 is a commodity that is simply optimizing a rich trifecta: girls, kittens, and candy. If this video seems alien, revisit Katy Perry's " I Kissed A Girl.". Intermediate Work While boy bands certainly have cemented their place within idol culture, idol pop's brightest stars are women. Superstar solo acts like Seiko Matsuda dominated the '80s and '90s, while the early '00s have belonged to female groups the likes of which America hasn't seen since the break-up of The Supremes. And even The Supremes aren't a fair comparison because while The Supremes had, at the time, a record 12 No. 1 singles, AKB48, Japan's most popular idol group, has 23. "A RA SHI" is a remarkable and sweeping track that manages to skitter through 10 years of boy band sounds in four minutes. The top of the song features the same funky bass lines and stabs of sax that can be heard on just about any New TEENs On The Block song that populated American airwaves in the early '90s. This is followed by a stretch of campy rap verses that, despite linguistic differences, sound as if they were lifted directly from Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations." Eventually the rapping turns into a slow jam as the track closes with breathy harmonies and smooth snaps reminiscent of Backstreet Boys balladry. With a dozen or so key and tempo changes at play, "A RA SHI" offers a little something for everybody, and 15 years later still reigns as the group's most inventive and listenable track.

Junior Idol Follow this interest to see new images in your feed. Not all bands take idol pop to the extreme that AKB48 does. While certain elements of AKB48, like relentless marketing, persist throughout idol culture, many other bands within the genre look nothing like AKB48. Take longtime idol pop favorite Perfume, for example. In comparison to AKB48, Perfume has an ordinary origin story. Whereas AKB48's members were mercilessly recruited from a rolling American Idol -esque audition and voting process, the three women of Perfume met in school (albeit at a rigorous talent academy). After graduating they toiled for many years, jetting back and forth between Tokyo and their hometown of Hiroshima in search of a fan base that would stick. They eventually partnered with producer Yasutaka Nakata, whose fame and influence surpasses Pharrell Williams' by about a light-year or so, and who allowed the girls to develop an electro-pop sound complete with robotic imagery. Between the years of 2003 and 2007 Perfume dug deep into this niche until the group finally struck gold with "Polyrhythm.". Visual Search Use an image to search on Bing.

The group was sluggish until 2007, when it blitzed back onto the scene and incited mania. This was in part thanks to Kitagawa's orchestration. He expanded Arashi's exposure by finagling deals with television network producers that made their singles the theme songs of many of Japan's most-watched shows. "Love So Sweet" and "Happiness" benefitted from these deals. Both tracks are quintessentially Johnny-

3 sounding. Unlike the R&B-influenced "A RA SHI," "Love So Sweet" and "Happiness" are upbeat ditties comprised solely of the bloated melodies and excessive instrumentation that have come to define the Arashi sound. "One Room Disco" finds Nakata and Perfume in full on electro-pop assault mode. A corral of electronic sounds is at work on this number, but Nakata implements each one brilliantly to create a giddy and danceable track that reminds listeners of old school hits like Snap's "Rhythm Is A Dancer" or Ace Of Base's "All That She Wants." In other moments on Triangle, Nakata and Perfume seem to lose their grip on the knobs and dials, which leave tracks like "Zero Gravity" sounding uneven and tilting too far in the direction of nonsensical, electronica gravitas. Devoid of many of the coquettish distractions that afflict AKB48 videos, "Polyrhythm" serves as a slightly more palatable sampling of idol pop for someone unfamiliar with the genre. The number opens with the striking of a few airy and suspended chords that quickly usher in a vocal so auto-tuned it sounds as if a hologram is singing it. Many influences are quickly recognizable namely the four-on-the-floor rhythm patterns of Detroit house and the Vocoder-infused vocals of Kraftwerk. Other parts of the song, like the bridge, render no search results when attempting to find a comparison. The main feature of the bridge is its polyrhythmic structure. As is immediately evident, the rhythm of the vocals in the bridge conflict with the rhythm of the percussion to create a sound that is both jarring and addictive. At the time this structure was so atypical of idol pop music that Perfume's record executives insisted on removing it from a separate, shortened version, thus deleting the polyrhythm from "Polyrhythm." Despite this dense move, the original version prevailed and climbed up the Oricon charts, proving that an innovative marriage arranged by Nakata between a buffering bridge and a catchy chorus was the exact kind of update idol pop needed. Perfume has continued to have many high moments since the success of "Polyrhythm." 2009's Triangle was Perfume's first chart-topping album, and was composed of many stand-out tracks, notably the innovative "One Room Disco.". So much so that former Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano recently praised the business model of AKB48 and conceded that the model could be effective for the Japanese economy in general. As is true of many pop stars before them, the magic of AKB48 is in the marketing, not the music. It's genius to include free vouchers for exclusive meet and greets in the girls' CD. That's a value-added proposition fans can't get from pirated music. Tactics like this account for at least 50 percent of AKB48's success. The remaining half is attributable to psychology. Given AKB48's insipid lyrics, pedestrian vocals, and overwrought production, its success must be made possible by what is projected upon them as opposed to what they produce. The group's music videos bring evidence to this claim; take the kawaiiinspired "Heavy Rotation," for example. Arashi - Happiness [PV] from liliane on Vimeo. To be clear, Arashi is not idol pop's best offering. Musically speaking, the group is more boring than offensive. But its lack of innovation and often-referenced inability to harmonize hasn't stopped it from complete idol domination. For example, in 2010, six out of the top 10 singles of the year belonged to Arashi. Or better yet, this: Arashi has had 39 No. 1 singles, putting them just one shy of doubling the Beatles' American record. When considered closely, this logic-defying comparison reveals a core idol pop 101 lesson: It's never about the music. Despite often being considered a niche interest, J-Pop is about as sweeping and unhelpful a term as "rock 'n' roll" is. It's only J-Pop's conflation with K-Pop in the Western world that has led many to believe that J-Pop in itself is some sub-genre phenomenon, when it simply refers to popular music in Japan. Real phenomena exist within J-Pop, and chief among them is the insane and adorable world

4 of idol pop. Thought it's technically a musical genre, something isn't considered idol pop because of distinctions in sounds or rhythms. Rather, idol pop only only becomes idol pop if industry impresarios declare it so and market it as such. The main inroad into idol pop is through talent agencies. They are the gatekeepers. Agencies like Up-Front Promotion hold auditions and scout young artists, quickly deciding whether or not the candidates are idol material. To be of "idol" caliber simply means potential stars must be willing to temporarily relinquish control of their own humanity and submit themselves to a culture that is as punishing as it is rewarding. Though superfans might have a favorite team or a preferred subgroup, AKB48 is still marketed and sold as one product, and Akimoto sure knows how to move units. AKB48 is the vision of Japanese producer, Yasushi Akimoto, who sought to make "idols you can meet." To facilitate this dream, Akimoto expanded AKB48 to include over 130 members that are broken down into over a dozen teams and subgroups. This means that on any given day, various members of AKB48 can be bombarding fans across multiple channels at the same time. While Team A is performing in AKB48's permanent theater in the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Team K could be starring in a commercial, and subgroup Not Yet could be busy at a meet and greet. It's a system that practically guarantees ubiquity. "Labrador Retriever," on the other hand, starts where it finishes. Every element of the song strings, vocals, woodwinds, random dog barking is maximized into perpetuity without any offerings of respite. The culminating effect of so much happening at once is the absence of any lasting impression. In the face of too much sonic inundation the brain simply shuts down. The genesis of idol pop can be traced to the launch of the genre's leading talent agency, Johnny & Associates, in Named after idol pop's master crafter, Johnny Kitagawa, Johnny & Associates created the blueprint for idol construction and has been building idol pop boy bands for over 50 years. At Johnny & Associates, "Johnny juniors" (the name given to all young men brought into Kitagawa's fold) train for more than five years before being strategically grouped with other juniors. Once in their groups, juniors then rehearse for an additional two years in order to further learn how to act like certified idols. When followed precisely, Kitagawa's process allows his groups to be lionized not for what they are, which is impossible to control, but for what they appear to be, which can be easily manipulated: cute, innocent, and as untouchable and alluring to a young girl as an encased doll on a shelf.
