Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da have released the MVs for their single titled Mudai Gasshou.

The single was released on April 6th.

From time to time I like to show off some up and coming idol groups that catch my eye. Sure, they might not have the biggest fan bases but they show potential and a unique concept that sets them apart from the standard idol groups.

Zenbu Kimi no Sei Da are certainly one of those groups due to their unique dark tone that breaks the pure idol concept and they show off that style in their latest release titled Mudai Gasshou.

Nemoto Nagi Peppermint Dassou Keikaku

Niji no Conquistador’s Nemoto Nagi has released her song titled Peppermint Dassou Keikaku.

According to Nagi, this is apparently the last of this releases for now following her previous songs titled America and Purity.

Nemoto arguably is the most recognizable member of the group, in my completely biased opinion, so naturally another song where she gets to showcase her vocals is always welcome.

With a happy sound that fits in perfectly with her image, it’s definitely a solid song that is sure to have Nemoto fans with a smile due to the cuteness.

So far there doesn’t seem to be any physical release of the songs, but according to a tweet from Mikeneko Homeless it seems like there could be a CD or MP3 release sometime soon.

Make sure to check out the song and the special site since they’re both amazing!

Former AKB48 member Itano Tomomi has released the MV for 8th single titled HIDE & SEEK.

Releasing April 20th, this single will be released in 3 editions:

Type B
Type A
  • Regular CD-only with the two tracks featured in the Limited editions

Nozokime 5
Nozokime 4
Nozokime 3
Nozokime 2
Nozokime 1

While the idea of buying 5 versions of a single for a sticker might be a bit too much for me, I do have to agree that the single so far is pretty solid.

With a Beauty and the Beast theme in a nightmarish land, we get to hear Itano’s talented vocals in a darker, more mature pop track that is sure to have you wanting more.

It’s a must see MV with a dark theme and one that shows off just how nicely she adapts to any type of song, so make sure to check it out and get a copy of the single for yourself!

Death Rabbits “Usagi Stream 2” MV Released

Death Rabbits Dai Niji Usagi Taisen Album Cover

Death pop group Death Rabbits have released the MV for their track titled Usagi Stream 2.

Releasing June 1st as part of their 2nd album titled Dainiji Usagi Taisen, this track will be among the 12 tracks available for fans to enjoy. The full tracklist and MV are listed after the break.

BABYMETAL and Ladybeard are amazing, but maybe you need a little bit more death pop in your life? Thankfully Death Rabbits are here and they show off their talent in this catchy rabbit themed song.

Personally, it’s a bit on the tame side for me but it is interesting to see the theme they went for. For example, a traditional Japanese setting paired with a trio of idols and a guy in a gas mask is something that not many get to see.

Still, the vocals are catchy and the fact that there are clean vocals from the guy is a nice twist among the death idol scene.

It’s definitely an MV to check it out for those who love the more metal side of the idol spectrum!
