As the official account announced the results, social media instantly exploded with joyous comments like "So happy to hear Bakkyun!", "Precious Bakkyun!", and "Thank you for granting my Bakkyun wish!"

Fans were captivated by its cute choreography and adorable interactions among members. Many comments praised the "Bakkyun choreography for being too cute," and performances by specific member pairings such as "MemeNabe" (Ren Meguro, Shota Watanabe), "MemeKoji" (Ren Meguro, Koji Mukai), and "AbeSaku" (Ryohei Abe, Daisuke Sakuma) elicited a flood of enthusiastic reactions about their favorite moments. Comments included: "MemeNabe is really cute, so cute it's a problem," and "Meguro-kun 'bakkyun'-ing towards Koji-kun, but it's one-sided here, it's painful lol. Such a typical tsundere!" Some fans also reported new discoveries, like "Just found out today that Bakkyun's lyrics contain member names ←," further deepening interest in the song.

The performance of "Bakkyun" completely captivated viewers, with many fans expressing that they felt "shot" or "so cute it almost killed me." "Suno-Misoka" created a warm space where members and fans united, a fitting way to conclude the year.

The context

Snow Man is a highly popular nine-member Japanese idol group, managed by START ENTERTAINMENT (formerly Johnny & Associates). They made their debut in 2020 and have since gained a massive following for their versatile performances, including singing, dancing, and acting.

"Suno-Misoka" is an affectionate portmanteau combining "Snow Man" and "Ōmisoka" (大晦日), the Japanese word for New Year's Eve. This annual live stream event allows the group to connect with their fans and celebrate the end of the year together.

Fan participation, particularly through real-time song requests and voting, is a cherished aspect of Japanese idol culture. It fosters a strong sense of community and allows fans to directly influence performances, making them feel more engaged and connected to their favorite artists.

"Bakkyun" (ばきゅん) is a Japanese onomatopoeia representing the sound of a gun, often used playfully to mimic shooting someone with a finger gun. In idol performances, this gesture is typically employed for its cute and charming effect, which explains the fans' humorous reactions of feeling "shot" or "killed" by the cuteness.

Terms like "MemeNabe" (Ren Meguro and Shota Watanabe), "MemeKoji" (Ren Meguro and Koji Mukai), and "AbeSaku" (Ryohei Abe and Daisuke Sakuma) are popular fan-created nicknames for specific member pairings within the group. These "ships" highlight the dynamics and chemistry between members, sparking enthusiastic discussion among fans. "Tsundere" is a Japanese character archetype who is initially cold or aloof but eventually reveals a warmer, more caring side, often towards a specific person.

2021 Japan Derby Winner Shahryar (5-Year-Old Stallion) Retires from Stud Duty

It has been revealed that Shahryar (5-year-old stallion), winner of the 2021 Japan Derby, has retired from stud duty. This unusually early retirement, coming just this year after he began his career as a stallion, has sent shockwaves through the horse racing fan community. The primary reason for his retirement was an extremely low conception rate. In his first year of breeding, he covered 74 mares, but ultimately, only 7 conceptions were confirmed, a severely challenging situation. Given this exceptionally low rate, discussions among those involved led to the decision that it would be difficult for him to continue as a stallion. Information circulating suggests that a testicular disease may be the cause, and there are indications that standard stallion insurance might apply, or that he may be re-purposed.
