Ena Fujita drops music video ahead of album

/

Artist Ena Fujita dropped a brand new music video for her song “超DIE” (“Cho Die”) which will be on her new album Iromono which is due out June 26. The music video for  “Cho Die” starts off with Fujita falling asleep next to some train tracks. From there, Fujita dreams about singing at a bar, playing a white guitar and singing the song. At the video’s halfway point Fujita takes off her jacket to reveal she is in a leather bikini with intricately placed straps. I’ll leave the ending of the video a mystery but I will say that from at that point on things take a fairly dark turn.

Iromono is being released in two editions. The first edition will be CD-only and is being referred to as the Chakui Edition. The second edition will be CD and DVD and is referred to as the Daitsu Edition. You can pre-order your copy of Iromono here and you can find the full track listing at the bottom of this page.

FORMRE shows they are FORCE to be reckoned with in teaser of first album!

/

Three-member rock band FOMARE dropped a small teaser trailer for their first full album FORCE on JMS’s official YouTube channel. Dropping June 12, FORCE will be the latest release done by the group since their mini-album Snowdrop back in December. 

FORCE will be available in a CD-only standard edition with ten tracks includiing fan favorite songs “Frozen” and “Continue”. The teaser includes small clips of tracks featured on the album played alongside clips from various lives FOMARE performed.

However, the excitement of the album dropping will be short-lived as drummer Takuya Kinoshita will be leaving soon after. The sudden news came from their official site with Kinoshita commenting that he’s leaving due to personal reasons. His last performance with FOMARE will be during this week’s show in Tokyo’s LIQUIDROOM  live house.

Kis-My-Ft2 wants fans to put their HANDS UP for new single!

/

After the release of their very successful album Free Hugs!, popular  seven-member male idol group Kis-My-Ft2 announced a brand new single tiled “HANDS UP” July 10.

Being the group’s twenty-fourth single overall, “HANDS UP” received a more dance-centric feel to it. With this, Kis-My-Ft2 hopes to inspire fans to push forward and unleash their inner selves in order to achieve their goals and transform into their ‘new selves’.

Releasing with two tracks, “HANDS UP” will drop in three different editions: a standard CD-only edition and two CD + DVD limited editions simply titled Type A and Type B. The difference between the two limited editions is that not only will both feature a different B-side track but they will also include either the music video of “HANDS UP” or several campaign videos that were used for their Free Hugs! album on the DVD. Not to be outdone by the limited editions, the standard edition will include one of the B-side tracks from the limited editions along with two new unannounced tracks, rounding its total out to four tracks.
