Popular six-member Johnny’s boy group SixTONES announced that they will be releasing a brand new single, “Mascara”, August 11. This will be the latest release by the group since “僕が僕じゃないみたいだ” (“Boku ga Boku Jyanaimitaida”) back in February and will be their fifth single overall. Provided by Daiki Tokita of King Gnu and millennium parade fame, "Mascara" was announced during the Kanagawa-Yokohama Arena performance of the live tour on eST held on June 3 and 5-7. Following the announcement of the release, a video message was played from Tokita with the surprise announcement of the collaboration, and after the six members looked at the monitor and listened to the message, they appeared surprised and absent-minded for a while. This was followed by having everyone taking a deep breath, saying, “We were surprised by this announcement!” and "We also have to calm down (not just the fans)!"

Like with several of Johnny’s releases, “Mascara” will drop with three editions: a CD-only standard edition and two limited editions lovingly called Types A and B, which will come with a bonus DVD. Type A’s DVD will feature the music video for “Mascara” along with a making-of and a solo member version of the track as well, while Type B’s content will be announced at a future date. The standard edition will be a must-have for fans as well, as it will also include a 20-page photo book along with a couple additional B-side tracks.

As we look forward to the upcoming release be sure to check out the music video for “Boku ga Boku Jyanaimitaida” along with the pre-order links for all three editions of “Mascara” including an exclusive bundle edition below!
