[Updated: LADYBABY have announced their return.]
Nemoto Nagi “Peppermint Dassou Keikaku” Song Released
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!
Itano Tomomi “HIDE & SEEK” MV Released
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
- Type A which will include the MV for HIDE & SEEK and an additional track titled One Last Kiss
- Type B with a key similar to the one Itano wore, alongside an additional track Triple “0”
There are also an additional 5 versions which are available on the KING RECORDS site where you will receive a Nozokime sticker as well as free shipping.
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 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!

Both singles have been out since April 4th, but it’s definitely a nice touch to show off the short MVs on a special page with lyrics so those who are curious about her return can enjoy them before getting a copy of the single.

Make sure to take a look at both since they look amazing and showcase the vocal talents of this J-pop legend!
