I have noticed that I started to follow some idol units that had "villains" as a concept or themed in a way or the other. All of them are Chika Idol groups, só I think it would be nice to share them!! I hope you find something new and get interest in (o゜▽゜)o☆
Idol Groups:
VILLAINS HOUSE
❝VILLAINS HOUSE is a Tokyo-based idol group affiliated with Circle Lychee. They have a dark concept, creating a unique worldview with a haunted house motif.❞

VILLAINS HOUSE formed on August 1st, 2024, and their name might sound familiar to you, especially if you follow the chika idol scene on twitter; They have been announced alongside Gimmick and Kurai Sekai, a JiraiKei group that caught most people’s attention!
Their most recent Music Video was released on January 15th this year, and it’s one of my favorite songs by them, so please, give them a listen! They’re my favorite group from Circle Lychee, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do – and I hope you start supporting them, for they’re still very new ♪(^∇^*)
Viz Villains
❝Viz Villainz is a five-member boy group with a “villain” concept. They debuted on June 7th, 2024 ar Shirokane-Takanawa SELENE b2.❞

I want to start this out by saying that the group moved from Mewmuse to RINDO entertainment at the end of February – and after that, this current lineup had their last live on February 25th before preparing for a new lineup.
And, somewhat because of that, I wanted to try and show some light on them! They have very few songs – given this line up didn’t last long; However! I must say I am excited to see how their group will progress from February on, and I hope they have peeked your interest too \( ̄︶ ̄*\))
I strated writing this in January, but only managed to post now (╥﹏╥), however, we have yet to see their new line up!
My Criminal Lovers'
❝My Criminal Lovers' is a villain-themed idol group and their sound is described as gothic and hard rock. They are one of the two initial spinoff groups of Yume Saku à la carte, representing the Villain side to Elements! -Elemental Heroines-'s Heroine side.❞

This one have an interesting story, and very nice songs as well! For the ones who are more interested in j-rock and gothic rock, please check them out~
I have to confess that I haven't met the members very well yet, but they seem to be very talented at what they do. Please don't hesitate to support them if they have piqued your interest!
(Bonus!)
Album:
Villans:impress (Harmoe)
[Spotify] [YouTube]
Harmoe’s first mini album, this one takes the word "villain" to a more fantastical side, since the album is inspired on fairy tales’ villains!
Each and every track is inspired on a different villain from a different fairy tale, and they're right on point with each and every one of them! The tracks are somewhat different, but is very well held together as well.
