Team Homicidols has compiled a list of the 10 Most Disturbing Idol MVs in History.
Last week, we published a piece recommending dark idol units for new alt-idol fans discovering the genre through Phantom Siita. The response to the post reminded me that not everyone has spent the last decade+ obsessing over and chronicling the alternative, independent, and underground idol scene. Especially the number of people who were hearing about JyuJyu and “Noroi Hajime” for the first time…

35 DESKS
Among the rows of lined up desks, one of them,
Mysteriously, is scribbled black – my desk;
A scene the same as always
Unexpectedly, I thought you’d called out to me
But you were just having fun with some sort of punishment game
Scared of what’s behind those smiles, I look down
I want to talk to you
I want to talk to you, but
Just like a ghost, nobody notices me
I’m sure when the flowers bloom
You’ll forgive me, won’t you?
Reaching you, across 35 desks, far, far away
The way you look at me, as if you’re looking at trash
It’s alright, I’ve already gotten used to it
I wonder if we can go back to those days
I wonder if I’ll be able to laugh
Among the rows of lined up desks, one of them,
How beautiful – adorned with a bouquet
Apart from that, the scene is the same as always
I want to talk
I want to talk to you, but
I’ve become a ghost, nobody notices me
I’m sure when you, too, die
You’ll come find me, won’t you?
One by one, I’ll adorn 35 desks with bouquets
That smell of burning hair
It’s alright, it’s already dissipated
Even if you grow to regret those days
It’s much too late now
That view, as if in a dream
Scribbled black
You can’t see a thing, so you can’t walk
huRRY uP anD coME
If something’s become trash, we throw it away
It’s alright, it’s just returning to the ground
You, too, trembling in insomnia
Make yourself comfortable, won’t you?
Once we’re all ash, dancing in the sky
Here, where we can finally reunite
I wonder if we can go back to those days
I wonder if I’ll be able to smile
