Sae Otsuka Voyages to a New Solo Career with Debut Mini-album!

Popular voice actress Sae Otsuka released the music video for her track “ぬか漬け” (“Nekazuke”) on Avex’s official YouTube channel. One of the lead tracks for Otsuka’s solo debut mini-album Avant Title, available now, Otsuka looks to break the mold from the usual voice actress-turned-vocalist trend. Otsuka, who is famously known for her role as Tae Hanazono in the multimedia franchise BanG Dream, does indeed break her image and show a more passionately vocal side of herself with “Nekazuke”. 

Avant Title includes six track total, all which are written and composed by Otsuka herself. The album is now available under three editions; a CD-only standard edition and two CD + Blu-ray limited editions. Not much is different with the limited editions except one Blu-ray edition includes several music videos, with the other including footage of her BIRTHDAY LIVE~SAEchism!~ which took place at the famed Yokohama Bay Hall last year along with a photo book.

Check out the music video for “Nekazuke” along with the order links for Avant Title below!
