• I'll be picking this up for review and hope to finish within the week. For now my suggestion would be to strike ALT2 as it's a niche hook since non-anime fans may not know who Ogata is and thus may not get the context or how Ogata is a big deal. Either ALT0 or ALT1 should be fine as long as "all-male" is kept in the wording. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

• @Narutolovehinata5: I have struck out ALT2. I figured I had to add an edge case considering there (surprisingly for a recently-rising anime star) wasn't much to get from the article. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:55, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! The article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination (originally a draft but was moved to mainspace on April 15, which is just within the 7 days requirement). It is adequately sourced and free from close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been provided. ALT0/ALT1 are essentially the same hook and is properly cited; assuming good faith for the source but a Google Translate check checks out. The hook is interesting even for those unfamiliar with the band in question (myself included). Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:41, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
