About TIU

Established in September of 2021, the Tri-State Idol Union is a networking and resource community dedicated to advancing and connecting idol-inspired performers who are based in the North Eastern United States.We are an inclusive, judgment-free environment and are open to performers of all skill levels. People from outside the North East can join as supporters and find events within the area.

Why is it called "Tri-State" idol union if you serve the whole North East?

Back when the Tri-State Idol Union started in 2021, our community was focused on idols from New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania (a region commonly reffered to in the north east as the "Tri-State Area").While we've since expanded in early 2022 to serve the Tri-State, New England, and DMV areas, we've held onto the name to remember our beginnings!

Alex Pinku

Staff

Hello! I'm Alex Pinku~ You can call me Alex. I'm a performance idol, artist & dancer currently living in Maryland and often travel for conventions and live shows. I've been in the odottemita community for over ten years and an active solo idol since 2018.Now three original releases deep, my main influences in music and performance are Japanese acts like Perfume, 2010’s era AKB48, Morning Musume, and a wide range of currently active Japanese idols. As well as the music they grew up listening to like My Chemical Romance and Lights. I aim to spread not just music, dances, or fashion, but the idea that hard work and spending your time doing what you love is important, regardless of skill level. There is something special about Japanese idols and the aura that they produce. I hope to capture even a fraction of that for you in my own performances and content across the internet, and in my work with TIU!
