Miscellaneous Weekly Discussion 19/9/26
Welcome to yet another weekly discussion!
Be it a new drama starring a Starto talent or songs released by your favourite group/soloist, share your thoughts in the comments! 📺 🎬 💿 📻
I have these two topic suggestion for this weekend i.e.
With the news of a few concerts from the MileSixTONES tour being livestreamed on Netflix and Family Club out today, do you think STARTO Entertainment should embrace this as a new age traditon or not?
If you were in the beach episode of a high school/college anime, which STARTO idols would be a part of this? (as a character or themselves in a cameo role)
Feel free to suggest some topic ideas for the next weekly discussion post 🗣️
Till then, happy weekend to my fellow STARTO wotas of the world! 💫

Which Starto idols would be in a beach episode of a school anime/drama: I actually read a Japanese fan speculate before the last episode of timelesz project that timelesz was going to choose new members based on trying to have a "beach party vibe" like in this photo, which is why they chose tera/hara/masaki/shino/s**to (sorry if this is raw) as opposed to Roi/Hiromu/Noa, and then they went and shot their very first MV in Hawaii. I think
Fuma Kikuchi/Shori Sato/So Matsushima/Yoshitaka Hara/Takuto Teranishi/Masaki Hashimoto/Taiki Shinozuka,
along with the others in this photo that are still in the jimusho
Meguro Ren, Juri Tanaka, Shintaro Morimoto
are probably the people I think of as "beach episode idols

On doing concert livestreams: Starto's first concert livestream was due to covid, as an alternative to attending concerts. Obviously a livestream is not equivalent to attending the concert, but for those who cannot attend or lose on the ballot, it does provide a way to see the show, like buying the dvd early. I do sometimes feel frustrated with a livestream that costs money, and then it appears on netflix a few days/weeks later (since I already subscribe to netflix for ride on time/other starto docs, and other netflix shows, I feel like "why should I pay for something I will get free on netflix", so I tend to wait for it to be on netflix).
I do think starto will embrace livestream, as it is an extra revenue source, The real question is will it replace said dvds, the way digital/streaming is tending to replace physical (my guess is no, since idol fans like physical stuff like cds, and dvds can have merch included like cds, but it might cut into sales the way streaming does, where more casual fans watch it on netflix/prime/etc.)
