If each group had 10 members, that would mean that there are 30,000 people nationwide calling themselves idols.]

Source: The Japan Times (article): "It was 1964 when 19-year-old ye-ye singer Sylvie Vartan captured the hearts of Japanese cinemagoers in the French film “Cherchez l’idole,” released here as “Aidoru o Sagase” and in English as “The Chase.”"

Overall: 
Great work on the GA nomination here, Lullabying, as well as the variety of hook choices you've included. Each of them checks out: I think the most promising hook is the primary one, followed by ALT4. One note, however, is that there are a few phrases that registered on the copyvio detector here. Upon further review, that page seems to contain a bunch of text pulled from wikipedia, so by my assessment it's a false positive.. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 01:01, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- That would make sense, as the page in question seems to have pulled from that page specifically. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 02:41, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
