Brats

Brats has released the MV for their song titled 14-sai Byou.

Many might be familiar with at least one of the members, specifically Rei who has been gaining fans around the world with her performances in LADYBABY.

As expected of the more rock heavy style from her other group, this group has a more macabre and darker style that is contrasted heavily by the heavy happy sound.

It’s something that needs to be seen to enjoy, but the occasional birds that she flips to the camera are a reminder that this group is heavy as a bag of bloody, fluffy pink marshmallows.

No news on when the single might be available to purchase, but the song is epic so make sure to check it out!

PassCode

PassCode has released the MV for their song titled Never Sleep Again.

With a futuristic theme and holograms abounding we get to see an interesting theme for an MV that not many idol groups could have thought of. The electronic beats, the rave lights, and the crowd dancing along to the song combine to form an epic video that is sure to have you dancing.

It’s honestly a nice video that somehow brings to mind Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas due to the hard beats, screams, and the 8-bit sound during the bridge.

It’s one of those songs that you have to see to believe so check it out since it’s among the best songs I’ve heard in a while.

November 25th is the date of release so it’s just a matter of days before we get to enjoy this single!

BiSH

BiSH has released an MV for their song ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.

BiSH is well known for causing a bit of stir with their videos since they are labeled as the anti-idol group, but surprisingly this video shows a more sensitive side from the group.

The video itself was filmed during the Eden of Sorrow tour, and features interviews for the first part of the video. In those interviews, we get to find out a bit more about their true feelings and it’s a perfect way to see them in a more natural light.

Of course, the music starts at around 5:04 with a calm beat that slowly progresses into a standard BiSH song at around 7:34 with an upbeat sound that is sure to have you jumping.

Check out the link below to download the song for free and see the tear-inducing MV after the break!

E-girls

E-girls have announced their first best-of album titled E.G. SMILE -E-girls BEST-“.

Since the album is a Best Of it means we can expect to see all of their singles, and from Natalie it seems like we will be getting just that with all of their singles since their debut back in December 2011.

Want more? Sure thing, there will be two brand new songs as well. Want even more? How about some remixes from DJs in Japan as well as from overseas? Sounds like a perfect release for fans.

There will be 5 types, with one being the classic 2-CD, alongside a Complete Pack with 3 DVDs or Blu-rays, and the Music Video Pack with 1 DVD or Blu-ray.

The release is shy of Valentines with a release of February 10.

Paipaidekami “Watashi no Namae wo Yondekudasai!” MV Released

Paipaidekami Watashi

The MV for Paipaidekami’s Watashi no Namae wo Yondekudasai! has been released.

Fanservice seems to be the main theme of this MV and it’s hard to deny that since the music isn’t exactly the strongest or the main selling point.Sure, Paipaidekami tries, but think of the MV as a gravure video with some music in it.

Is this video for everyone? Of course not, but it’s certainly an interesting look into the more gravure and fan-servicey side of music where bouncing on a beach ball in a bikini, moving your butt against the camera, or getting a full body massage count as an MV.

All being said it was an upbeat song, but a word of caution for those interested in seeing the video … Open the video in an incognito tab.

The release is set for December 16, so make sure to get that copy in if you’re interested!

Flower “Hitomi no Oku no Ginga” Covers Released

| kame

 

Regular E
Regular D
Regular C
Regular B
Limited A

Covers for Flower’s single titled Hitomi no Oku no Ginga have been released.

Since the group has a more mature sound I’m not surprised to see that the covers have a more mature tone to them, with a black and white filter as well as softer colors and even a full white shadowed look.

The Limited version is looking sharp, but it’s basically the colored version of the Regular E so in a way it doesn’t seem to stand out that much to me. Regular C though, it’s like a pink flower in the middle of a black and white field of idols.

Which one is your favorite? Make sure to let us know and check out the tracklists after the break.

December 16 is the date, so make sure to get that copy pre-ordered!

Namie Amuro Red Carpet

The MV for Namie Amuro’s Red Carpet has been released.

With a solid sound and a strong voice, we get to enjoy a perfect song with a nice beat that is sure to have fans putting the song on repeat.

Sure, there might not be any red carpets in the short preview we saw, but it’s still a nice video with a little town setting that invokes a calm feeling as she sings in the streets.

Make sure to check out the Red Carpet site for a chance to customize the MV with three different colors of outfits. Apart from that, December 2 is the release date, so just a few weeks until then!

The Hoopers “Jounetsu wa Kareha no You ni” MV Released

The Hoopers Jounetsu

The MV for The Hooper’s Jounetsu wa Kareha no You ni has been released.

Idol groups are widespread in Japan today, but seeing a group of women dressed up in a boyish way and performing songs with that theme is a refreshing way of showing off a new style that might be catching on.

The beat is on point, and the dancing is nice to see alongside the Spanish beat making for a unique song that many are sure to love. The girl on girl fanservice might be new to some but since most Oshare Kei and Visual Kei bands have done it at some point it’s only normal to see them use it here.

The release is set for December 16, so make sure to get a copy of this release, which shouldn’t be too hard since there will be 10 versions released (Regular, Limited, and special Limited versions for each member).
