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.

Music Corner Week 24: Burnout Syndromes

Burnout Syndromes is a three-member rock band that got started in 2005 with Kazuumi Kumagai as lead vocalist and guitar, Taiyuu Ishikawa as bassist and back up vocals, and finally, Takuya Hirose as the drummer and also back up vocals. To this day the same three guys are in the band and they show no signs of slowing down the release of a brand new album this year and a single released back in August. 

Burnout Syndromes writes fairly unique compositions that come through in their music. Kazuumi’s vocals are a little different and might take the listener a little bit to adjust to but they really fit their style of music. They also execute their songs with amazing skills making their music fun to listen to. Take for instance Burnout Syndromes’ latest single “Good Morning World” that opens up with Kazuumi singing acapella before being greeted with the powerful guitar and drums that run throughout the song. “Good Morning World” takes a serious turn before the chorus kicks in with this fun and up the melody.

Since forming Burnout Syndromes have released a total of three studio albums with their first major album coming out in November of 2016 that is titled Lemon, Peacock came out in February of 2018, and their latest album Myojo came out in February of this year. Burnout Syndromes have put out a total of four singles since going major with their first single being “FLY HIGH!!” in March of 2016, “Hikarire” in October of 2016, “Hanaichichi” in February of 2018 and “Good Morning World” in August of 2019. Be sure to check out Burnout Syndromes on their official website to keep up with their latest news or follow them on Twitter, and they also post their news on their Facebook page. Burnout Syndromes' latest release “Good Morning World” is posted below for anyone looking to check them out.
