Stereo Tokyo “PARTY PEOPLE” MV Released

| kame

Stereo Tokyo

The MV for Stereo Tokyo’s PARTY PEOPLE has been released.

These EDM idols have a unique style to them that make them stand out from the other idols, with a catchy electronic sound that is sure to make you move your head along to the beat. It reminds me of Perfume, but of course with more members and a more EDM style.

The setting of the video is a crazy party with people waving lightsticks, carrying cakes, and dancing along to the music as a story unfolds. Things get hectic when the senior citizens hit the scene, bringing with them enough foam cannons to cover everyone in attendance. As weird as that might sound, it makes the video much more unique and complements the visuals well.

The single was released on October 28, so it’s brand new on store shelves for you to enjoy!

NEXT YOU “Next is You!” Single Announced

| kame

NEXT YOU Juice Juice

Juice=Juice’s fictional idol alter ego NEXT YOU will be releasing their 1st single titled Next is you!

As we mentioned before, Juice=Juice will be playing a fictional idol band called NEXT YOU and they would be releasing singles under that name while the drama Budoukan played out and it seems like we’re already getting a new single announcement ahead of the drama’s airing.

The title itself isn’t the most creative, but I’m liking how they went for simplicity over a complex and long title. A nice detail is that it will be produced by Tsunku. Those who remember the drama mention might remember that the group in the drama are produced by the legendary producer so it’s nice that he will have a part in this release as well.

Of course, the release was mentioned at a conference so there are not that many details so far, but we should hopefully have a date for release sometime soon.

miwa “Anata ga Koko ni Ite Dakishimeru Koto ga Dekiru Nara” Covers Released

| kame
Regular
Limited

The covers for miwa’s Anata ga Koko ni Ite Dakishimeru Koto ga Dekiru Nara have been released.

With an amazing look and voice, it’s no surprise to see her get equally impressive covers for her latest release, and I have to admit that these are quite eye catching. Of course, we get two versions: regular having her in a fetal position as well as a Limited version.

I’m quite the fan of the Limited version since we get to see her looking at the camera, but I’m loving the leaves and flower petals flowing around her with the light background colors in the background.

There is mention that an MV is out for the song, but I couldn’t find it so if you do please comment below so we can share it with everyone.

November 11 is the day of release, so make sure to get a copy and check out the drama Kounodori where the song is being used as a theme song!

sora tob sakana

The MV for sora tob sakana’s Yozora wo Zenbu has been released.

sora tob sakana have an interesting style that sets them apart from other groups since they tend to lean towards a more electronic sound mixed in with some rock. Sure, it might sound a bit messy at times since the instrumental is a bit too powerful, but it seems like a group to keep an eye.

The single was released on October 27, so you can get a copy out now!

Arai Manami PB Titled “Seventeen’s Eyes”

| kame

Arai Manami

Arai Manami’s PB, previously titled LOVELY EYES, will be titled Seventeen’s Blue.

It seems like quite an interesting choice to change the title, but for me it definitely makes for a catchier title, since it seems to show off her age a bit more while not being a bit generic. Of course, the content will be the same so that will be a treat.

We’ll be enjoying this amazing PB pretty soon, in fact in a few weeks on November 16.

Details For Takahashi Minami’s Last Single With AKB48 Released

| kame

Takahashi Minami

Details for AKB48’s 42nd single, currently untitled, have been released.

The details were released during the handshake event on October 25.

As expected, Takahashi Minami will be the center for the single, here is a comment from her translated by Tokyo Girl Update:

I have been assigned center position for my final AKB48 single.
The last time I stood center by myself was Sakura no Hanabiratachi, released when we were still on an independent label.
The single will be a definitive idol song in AKB48 style.
I am really happy that my final single here is an idol song.
Since it is not a song where I leave graduation messages for everyone, I sincerely hope it will be performed by many members and loved by all the fans even after I graduate.

It’s certainly nice to see more details about this release so we can begin to get ready for it. Unfortunately, it was only a handful. That means that our tracklist consists of nothing but TBD titles alongside one B-side title.

We will hopefully find out more in the coming month with some previews to look forward to.The single will be released on December 9, the day after AKB48 will be celebrating their 10th year anniversary. More details, such as the tracklist, are available after the break!

ANGERME “Desugita Kuiwa Utarenai” MV Released

| kame

ANGERME

The MV for ANGERME’s Desugita Kuiwa Utarenai has been released.

We’re greeted by a familiar movie sound effect that at first threw me off, but honestly hearing the rest of the song and the hard rock sound it definitely brightened up my expectations. The vocals are on point, and the guitar mixed with the drums remind me of Buono, which is amazing.

Of course, the song seems a bit messy at times (the classical instruments in the bridge), but I’m liking what I hear. An energetic song to say farewell to Kanon, culminating with a dark set and glow in the dark outfits.

November 11 is the date, so make sure to get your copy to support Kanon’s last single!

| kame

Tokimeki Sendenbu

The MV for Tokimeki♡Sendenbu titled Kisetsu Hazure no Tokimeki♡Summer has been released.

There will be 4 different versions, with the Doki-Doki version featuring a DVD with the members of the group doing Kimodameshi (going to haunted areas at night during summer) with a dance MV. Pyon-Pyon version will include the coupling song titled Pyon-pyon. Don-don version will have a coupling titled Don Worry and the final version titled Tokikuri will have a coupling titled Santa-san ga … Yattekonai!.

The song itself is quite upbeat with a colorful video alongside Hawaiian dresses and some interesting shots of the members being shot by water, getting hit by beach balls, as well as some cute scenes with drawings on the members.

From what I saw it’s quite the active and upbeat song so fans will definitely be pleased. It’s nothing that will revolutionize the face of music, but it’s decent.

We’ll be enjoying this single on December 2, close to the holidays!

Otome Shinto

The MV for Otome Shinto’s Tsuchinoko tte Iru to Omou…?♡ has been released.

There will be 3 different versions, limited Type A with a DVD featuring an MV and the Making Of, Type B with a Dance shot MV and a dance instruction video. The coupling song will be titled Mune ni Hattekou!

The song itself has a whimsical sound to it with the members dancing in colorful outfits alongside a rainbow of colors which are quite impressive. Of course the dancing … completely not suggestive fish flashing in the background might be a bit too flashy for some, but other than that it’s a solid MV that showcases the colorful group.

November 18 is the date of released so make sure to get a copy!
