Wake Up, Girls! was an idol unit active from 2014 to 2019 whose leader was none other than Yoshino Aoyama, voice of Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou in Bocchi the Rock. In this performance of the opening theme from Restaurant to Another World, originally a collaboration with Mayn, she's the one singing the very first line, with the light blue ribbon.

Far from the absolute nobody before Bocchi the Rock she's sometimes painted as (also by her own presentation), she had before already led this unit throughout the years, culminating in this final concert in a brimful Saitama Super Arena in front of about 35,000 people (full concert playlist) that wowed her senpais Rie Takahashi and Reina Ueda.

During the unit's active years, she also voiced the character based on herself in various accompanying anime productions.

After the unit disbanded after this concert, the only other member that continued to be significantly active in the idol and/or anime space AFAIK is Minami Tanaka, who e.g. went on to become part of Franchouchou in Zombieland Saga.

I recently decided to watch this 4-part ONA after seeing a post on Reddit praising its cinematography and finding out that it's available subtitled on YouTube for free.

What can I say, that poster was absolutely right. This show is visually absolutely stunning. I usually think of myself as someone who doesn't place too much emphasis on animation quality, focusing more on the storytelling and characters instead. But despite being quite simple in the latter two departments, Pretty Derby managed to really pull me in.

Not only are the races animated so amazingly that I was literally at the edge of my seat. Also in quiet moments, the facial expressions, music, voice acting and (yes again:) cinematography came together to make a really captivating experience.

8/10 Did not expect "stupid horse girls" to make me cry so much.

Hey, I hope this is okay to post here:

I created a community which might be seen as a sibling to this one: !japanesemusic@feddit.de
After all, anime was my gateway to Japanese music, and I guess it might be similar for others here.

(NB: If the above link does not take you to the community page, you may need to paste the URL https://feddit.de/c/japanesemusic into the community search of your own instance. This will cause your instance to start fetching it. Discovery of remote communities is a bit fickle.)

Any genre of music from Japan is on-topic, also relevant questions, discussions and articles.

My own taste tends towards rock music, preferably with female vocals, so that's also mostly what I myself will post. Of course everyone else is highly welcome to post their own favorite tracks!

So, as another Reddit refugee, I was wondering if there's also a way to view the posts I've voted on here?

On Reddit I liked to use that to quickly find posts I wanted to check back on, while "saved" was only for really exceptional content.
