WANIMA takes on a different beat with latest music video!

Three-member rock band WANIMA dropped the music video for their latest track “りんどう” (“Rindou”) on their official YouTube. “Rindou” is to be one of the lead tracks for the band’s upcoming album COMINATCHA!! arriving October 23. Taking a different approach from WANIMA’s usual high energy riffs and composition, “Rindou” slows it down with a lovely ballad-like composition and has vocalist KENTA front and center, proving just how amazingly far his range can go.

As previously reported, COMINATCHA!! will include fifteen tracks total and two editions, a standard CD-only edition and a CD + DVD + photo book limited edition including a DVD lovingly titled 1 CHANCE DISC. Pre-order both editions of COMINATCHA!! and view the aforementioned music video below!

Jurina Matsui once again announces hiatus!

Last year Senbatsu winner Jurina Matsui, unfortunately, announced that she will once again be taking a hiatus.

This announcement comes after the short hiatus Matsui took last year after winning the 2018 Senbatsu and ultimately affected the quality of that Senbatsu’s single “Sentimental Train”. Matsui added that she will be resting until she’s in perfect condition and will announce her return time as soon as possible.

We at Ongaku to You wish Matsui a speedy recovery and hope to see her on the grand stage once again.
