The Lethal Weapons Shakes Up the Ceremony with Upcoming Single!

Japanese and American electro-pop duo The Lethal Weapons announced that they will be releasing a brand new single “特攻!成人式” (“Tokko! Seijinshiki”) on September 30th. This will be the latest single done by the duo since “Half Price Time Sale” back in August and will be their second single overall. As the title implies, the theme of the song is based on the Japanese Seijinshiki (Coming of Age Ceremony) albeit with a splash of 80’s style that the duo is known for. The single will release with two tracks total and will drop with two editions, a standard edition and a limited edition, both of which are CD-only. However, in vintage style the limited edition will be released on a mini-disk.
