Rap group TOKYO HEALTH CLUB will release their new album, “VIBRATION”, on June 8. The album will feature collaborations with ZOMBIE-CHANG and MCpero.

TOKYO HEALTH CLUB recently released the music video for a song off “VIBRATION”, “Tenjiku.” The video for the laid back track is set in the desert and features a distressed salaryman. He originally saw a coupon for a sex service called “TOKYO HEALTH CLUB” in a tabloid while at a bar. He then finds himself looking for said sex service in the desert while accompanied by the members of the group, not knowing that the group shares the same name as something that would normally be the name of a sex service. Check out the video below, along with more information on the album!

ANARCHY will release his new album, “BLKFLG” on July 6. The album will come in 3 editions: CD+2DVD, CD+DVD, and CD only. The CD+2DVD version will come in a special box with a bandanna and a sticker. The first DVD that comes with “BLKFLG” will include “BLKFLG the MOVIE.” The short film features all 11 songs on the album as well as appearances by CRAZYBOY (aka ELLY from Sandaime J Soul Brothers) and MIGHTY CROWN, both of whom appear on the album as well. The second DVD will feature live performances from ANARCHY.

ANARCHY recently released the music video for one of the album’s tracks, “Chain Gang.” The song samples THE BLUE HEARTS’ 1987 song of the same name. The video features the rapper as a rebel leader of sorts, in the forest and the city streets.

He also recently released the album covers for “BLKFLG.” Some might find the covers problematic due to the fact that they feature the rapper in all black, including face paint (blackface). Check them out below, along with the album’s tracklist and the video for “Chain Gang!”

KOHH’s new album, “DIRT II”, comes out on June 17. Today, the rapper showed a different side of himself in the music video for “Die Young”, the album’s opening track. The song features KOHH singing with the assistance of some vocal effects, backed by an angsty hard rock tune. The aggressive tone of the song is matched by the music video, which features KOHH going crazy on his tour bus. And as with most things related to KOHH, this video is English-subbed, showing that he does pay attention to the international fanbase / attention he has garnered in the past year or so. Check out the video below!
