As we reported previously, rock band indigo la End will be releasing their latest single “Kanashikunaru Mae ni” (“Before You Become Sad”) next week on June 17th. Now, well ahead of this date, the group has chosen to publish the full music video for the title track to their official Youtube channel.
The PV provides us with a contrasting setup: the band performing the song in a monochrome setting intercut with colorful shots of actress Sakurai Yuki. However, as the video progresses the bright world that Sakurai exists in transitions into grayscale itself, perfectly mirroring the song’s title.
Kanashikunaru Mae ni’s music video will be located right after the jump, so feel free to read on if you’re curious.
One year and five months after the release of their previous record, up-and-coming rock band androp have announced that they’ll be releasing a new studio album on August 5th. The release will be self-titled and consist of 14 tracks in total, including their previously issued singles “Shout” and “Ghost”.
Ahead of the album’s release date the band have made opener “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” available for purchase on Japanese digital distributors this past week on June 3rd. Those who buy this digital single on Recochoku will be entered into a lottery to receive goods or even tickets to the July performances of the group’s “one-man live tour ‘angstrom 0.7 pm'” tour.
You’ll find the cover and full track list for “androp”, as well as a preview of “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” just below the cut, so please don’t hesitate to stick around just a little bit longer.
This week’s guests were Ikimonogakari and Hata Motohiro.

Hata Motohiro – Suisai no Tsuki
We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback. This is where we look back on what topped Oricon this week 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.
Not too long ago, AKB48’s annual Senbatsu Elections finished. Now we at Arama! Japan are here to give you the results of this big event. This year, the event was held at the Fukuoka Yahoo! Dome and 272 girls took part in the event. How popular members like AKB’s Kojiharu and SKE’s Matsui Rena chose not to participate this year.
As with the elctions in recent years. First place determines the center for the next center, with places 1 – 16 being considered part of the Senbatsu line who will be the faces on the cd and promoting the song on television. Those ranked 17 – 32 are the Under Girls, Next Girls are those who ranked 33 – 48, Future Girls are girls who ranked 49 – 64, and finally, those girls who ranked 65 – 80 make up the Upcoming Girls.
The results are in, check them out below!
