When it comes to stuff being weird, you can count on Japan to do that.
It seems that when it comes to Japanese idol groups, anything can happen. For instance, in this idol group, their new member is a goat.
Yeah, you heard that right.
*ChocoLate Bomb!, an idol group managed by Johnnyโs Entertainment, announced that their new and limited-time member Shiropen is a goat. Shiropen will be included on their upcoming single โLOVE ME DO ~Doko ni mo Iccha Dame~โ, which will be out on June 24.
Rough translation of caption:
[? ? critical announcement ใ ใฎ]

Shiropen’s contribution is his own billy-goat voice accent. If you’re curious about his sound and want to hear it then youโll have to attend *ChocoLate Bomb!โs show or go to their online shop. Unfortunately, the single wonโt be released in all stores in Japan or outside of it.
Shiropen is from Tokyoโs Shitamachi area. Prior to this, he is already kinda famous. His rise to stardom began when his owner took pictures of him wearing costumes and in cosplay and uploaded them to Instagram (@mitarou3). Since then, heโs made numerous appearances on Japanese television and is known nationwide as Japanโs โikemenโ mini goat.
There is no information on how long Shiropen will be part of the idol group. Still, you can keep an eye out for updates about him on Twitter (@shiropen).
Is this weird or what?
