Apologies for no newsletter last week...Fuji Rock consumed all my time! Idol duo Vanilla Beans announced their intention to disband this October. The pair of Risa and Rena has been together in its current incarnation since 2008 — the group debuted in 2007 with one different member, but they left soon after to give a go with the reality-show-turned-idol-group Idoling!!! — and developed a solid following over that decade, although they never breached the mainstream during a time when idols enjoyed a renaissance in popularity...and then saw slightly subversive groups gain ground as well.
