The idol world’s official °C-utie Queens °C-ute have released two new videos for their upcoming triple a-side single “Mugen Climax / Ai wa Maru de Seidenki / Singing ~Ano Koro no You ni~”.

“Ai wa Maru de Seidenki” is a stark contrast to the main a-side “Mugen Climax”. A very sweet and more “traditional” idol song, in this video the girls gush about a certain special someone whilst doing arts and crafts around their house. Rounding out the single is the mid-tempo “Singing ~Ano Koro no You ni~”, the lyrics talk about their love for singing and being idols, perhaps it can be interpreted as a “thank you” to their fans.

“I never had enough sleep when I was young. My precious youth […] I’m truly happy that I met you; I have no regrets”

Expect some tears to be shed from both the girls and wota when this is performed live! “Mugen Climax / Ai wa Maru de Seidenki / Singing ~Ano Koro no You ni~” will be released on November 4th, check out the two PVs below.

BEAMS magazine is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary and have created a special video that encompasses the last 40 years of music and fashion in Tokyo, featuring many different musicians from different genres (ranging from Yoshitaka Minami and Jun Togawa and  right up to the likes of Hatsune Miku and tofubeats) performing snippets in their respective sound over a montage of the most outstanding fashion styles from the years 1976 to 2016. It makes for a dizzying, amazing and awe inspiring piece that everyone should experience at least once.

For the month of October, the featured artist will be a rock band which is barely known on the western world: Chatmonchy! This band is a rock duo (previously trio) formed by Eriko and Akko. Them two together make an outstanding pair able to touch the strings of the heart of most listeners with their amazing rock tracks full of emotions. If you have ever felt nostalgia for some old-school rock, Chatmonchy will surely fill that gap in your ears.

Let’s begin!

2017 is going to be the year of Rei Kawakubo for the Met Costume Institute. This morning the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that the legendary founder of Comme des Garçons, was going to be the subject of an exhibit and the inspiration of the Met Costume Gala. The exhibit, that will open May 4th, will include 120 pieces spanning the designer’s 35 year career. Some important features to look out for will be some articles of clothing from her first ever collection from 1981. This is only the second time that the Met has featured a living designer as the subject of an exhibit; the first being Yves Saint Laurent.

As for the gala it will be co-chaired by Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour; with Rei Kawakubo as honorary chair.
