>>1344716I wouldn't be surprised if I asked a complete stranger about them and they knew they exist. I think they are the most popular Japanese music artist in the US ever already. They toured the US and sold out every show and were a huge draw at every major metal festival they played at. A lot of people in this thread are falling for the idol meme and don't actually know shit about them. A lot of work goes into the project with some of the most talented respected people behind the scenes and they aren't even sexualized at all.
Also, I think you guys can stop pretending they aren't popular in Japan. They actively avoid TV and ads like everyone else in Japan and they still sold out back to back nights at Tokyo Dome.
