Group Name | ZOMBIE LAND SAGA

[@binkyboy448]

A little explanation for why the name is so perfect for a zombie idol group. On the surface, "Franchouchou" is a cutesy, vaguely French-sounding name; but when spoken in Japanese, it sounds a lot like _furanshuu_, which means "smell of decay". And to think they came up with it when a legendary zombie of a legendary girl born from the stuff of legend started sneezing after sucking up marker ink.

[@fransuke12]

Its derive from the word Frankenstein and Chuu Chuu ( sound fx for sneezing )

[@LeoPloser]

This is the Kanji 腐卵臭 or 腐卵臭酒, yeah, it sounds like rotten smelly smell :P

[@SpicySweetsTLs]

tbh I thought the chouchou referenced the zombies getting reborn as idols like 蝶々

[@artytoons]

Octopus-like with the ink. 14 idol arms to hold you.

[@Shackospeare]

@@fransuke12 isn't chu the onomatopoeia of kiss?

[@KarmikCykle]

One of the best parts of this full scene is how Saki's writing on the dry erase board somehow drips, making it look like spray paint to highlight her delinquent nature.

[@Nolroa]

What about Yugiri? Somehow her writing in the dry erase board looked like It was very elegant calligraphy made with a brush... (And let's not talk about the fact that with the same black marker they made orange signs)

Lily is so adorable. Also how did the colour of the kanji change when they only had a black marker?

[@warrirornunluv801]

MAGIC. No need for explanation.

[@Nolroa]

Looking for logic in that part, but I can't find the logic when they have a nice and well lit rehearsal room, but the group meetings are in a dark dungeon and a cute zombie puppy becomes an awful looking zombie adult dog depending on the point of view of the characters.

From here (0:58) to this (1:06) made me laugh 1:44 their expression is kinda funny when Yugiri said about themselves 2:14 Lily is disgusted and smiling at the same time 😂

[@Glitchyz]

THEY WAY SAKI CALLED YUGIRI SIS IS SO CUTE

[@brandonperez8977]

I think is because Saki used to be in a biker gang. And from what know is that the bikers calls themselves brother/sister

[@virovac885]

Yugiri , naming the group after an infamous secret police force is probably not the best...also they disbanded when you were like 3.

[@noc2rn]

I lost it when LEGENDARYYAMADATAE was doing that lip trick with the pen, started chewing it then sneezed.

[@mariaarakat8823]

So Sakura was hit by a truck seeing the line on her forehead of impact, then Saki was killed in a bike accident? Because her whole body is wrapped up pretty much and has a lot of cuts. And Yugiri was beheaded? Considering she she has a straight red stitch line across her neck. I’m trying to figure out how they all died save for Sakura because we all know what happened to her which was like wtf and so sad. And no lie I was hoping to see her send in her audition and become an idol herself. I’m happy she’s getting the chance now, but it sucks as when she was alive she wanted to be one so bad. I’m worried to find out what may happen if she realizes Ai was from the group she was a big fan of. X.x this show can’t update fast enough I wanna know so much!

[@Nolroa]

Cute name for a group of idol zombies ...Although technically they would no longer be zombies, since zombie in the mythological sense is told to the being that is resurrected but that being has no consciousness, but now they are fully aware, Except for Tae. Will the whole “Save a real life japanese prefecture (The equivalent to a State in USA) in the tourist, cultural and economic aspects with a local zombie Idol group” plan be carried out with resounding success?

[@saltypumpkin927]

Nolberto Roa Pulido well zombie is a fast and loose term to use. Basically anything resurrected can be considered nowadays, but some very old ideas of zombies didn’t even necessarily include resurrection either, they were fairly similar to vampires, but more shambly.

Why isn’t anyone talking about reflection in the mirror

[@Nolroa]

Because there IS a reflection in the mirror. Pause the video at 1:30 It is not noticeable at first because they are both close to the mirror running from one side to the other.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

Sooo do they stink or not?

[@zeronin4696]

Hahahahahahahahha... No more words needed

[@Nolroa]

It seems not. Already being fully awake and fully aware they may not stink. Otherwise, it would be the “smelly” part of the whole “Save a real life japanese prefecture (The equivalent to a State in USA) in the tourist, cultural and economic sense with a local zombie Idol group” plan that could not be hidden even with all the makeup of the world.

[@procraftinator]

[@joelap.3859]

They do have reflections. Pause the video and you'll see.

[@Nolroa]

They do have reflections. For example: Pause the video at 1:30 The reflection is there. The reflection is not clear because they are very close to the mirror and they are running from one place to another..
