An Introduction to CoLoN: | Group of the Month April 2019

Hey there, idol fans! This month's featured group is "genderless" group CoLoN:. Check out last month's group, HANDSIGN here and to be the first to know when next month's group is announced be sure to subscribe to the Dansei Idol Girl newsletter. If there are any groups you'd like to see featured in future months feel free to let me to know. Anyway, let's get started!


CoLoN: (formerly Duckling-B) is a 9-member boy group under BACS Entertainment, an agency that produces underground male idol units. They're described as a "genderless" group, with their concepts and costumes often having an obvious feminine touch to them as well as their songs telling stories from a more female perspective. Unfortunately though, being an indie group their CDs currently aren't available at ordinary stores so you can only really buy them at BACS' official online store. The group was formed in 2016 but they made their debut in 2018 with the single "MagicalCoLoN:".

I was always vaguely aware of CoLoN: since I'm pretty into a few of BACS' other groups but I only really got into them when the music video for "Snatch Cat" kept getting recommended to me on YouTube. One day I just decided to click it out of curiously (and because I was avoiding doing work at college). Y'all know I love me my cute feminine idol boys so I fell in love with the video instantly, plus the song was catchy as heck. I absolutely love the concept of a "genderless" group and I can't wait to see more from them.

What do you think of CoLoN:? Let me know in the comments!

  2. Hii! I was looking for their information and stumbled upon your blog. I was wondering where did you get all the information from? Like their hobbies and such? And do you probably have links to their TV program in Eng sub?

    They debuted in my country, Indonesia. And have been a permanent idol group to perform in Ennichisai Event since last year. So I was so excited to welcome them again last weekend (the event held on 22-23 June 2019) ^^

    1. Hi there! All of the websites that I got the information from are linked at the bottom of the post, though they were in Japanese originally so I had to translate it myself. Sadly I don't think they have any videos with English subs yet but I'll keep a look out


      I did hear about them performing in Indonesia the first time, it's awesome that they came back again!
