According to TenAsia on June 20th, Amu and Negi will participate in TIF, which will be held this August in Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan.
At the 16th annual TIF, Amu and Negi are scheduled to perform in outdoor concerts, participate in talk shows with real-time streaming, and host handshake events with fans. As TIF is the most prominent and large-scale festival open to underground idols, insiders report that Amu and Negi showed strong determination to join the event.
Launched in 2010 by producer Kadosawa, who previously produced concerts for Japanese idol group Idoling!!!, TIF is the world’s largest idol festival, featuring participation from 45 groups.
Ihoteu had been active under EFG Music, a subsidiary of JDB Entertainment. Mina from Ihoteu was recently suspended from activities due to a personal life controversy. Although the group was expected to disband following the termination of their contract with the agency, Amu and Negi plan to carry out previously scheduled appearances with support from JDB Entertainment.
Meanwhile, Ihoteu belongs to EFG Music, a subsidiary of JDB Entertainment, home to many well-known comedians such as Kim Dae-hee and Kim Jun-ho. Recently, JDB Entertainment’s CEO “A” faced accusations of an affair with girl group member “B”, and expressed his intention to resign.
