Up-and-coming rock band [Alexandros] have just released the full music video for their new song “Famous Day”, following the shorter version that was published to their Youtube channel earlier this week.  The PV finds the band performing amidst a sparse industrial scene, occasional shots of an empty cityscape interposed between these longer takes.

“Famous Day” is the lead track off of [Alexandros]’ major debut album “ALXD”, which is set to hit shelves next month on June 17th.  The new release will consist of 14 songs in total, including the group’s previous singles “Run Away / Oblivion”, “Adventure / Droshky!”, and “Wataridori / Dracula La”.

Namie Amuro will release her new album “_genic” on June 10. She’s now released the music video for the album’s penultimate track, “Anything.” “Anything” is different from the songs that have already been released in video form from “_genic” in that it is a ballad. It is a song about perseverance. The music video features Namie on a catwalk, walking through different rooms. In these rooms, there are various people dealing with different life issues. Check it out after the jump!

Furuya Kenji (better known as ‘KJ’), a founding member of famous Japanese rock/hip-hop band Dragon Ash, has announced that he will be releasing his debut solo album this year on June 17th.  The record will be titled “Everything Becomes The Music” and is set to include a total of 12 full-length songs written and composed by Furuya himself.

Ahead of the release of the album, he has already made two tracks available to the public; “Swallow Dive” was released as a digital single on March 16th and “Stairway” as a physical single this past week on May 20th.  The music videos for both of these songs will be included with the Limited Edition version of the album.

Well known rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION will be releasing their latest studio album “Wonder Future” next week on May 27th.  They’ve preceded this new release by revealing the PVs for its pair of lead tracks “Planet of the Apes” and “Opera Glasses” and uploading them to their official Youtube channel.

“Planet of the Apes” is a distortion heavy rock song that is set against slowly spinning scenes from a house party, the music video concluding with a shot of the band rocking out to the track.  Meanwhile, the video for album closer “Opera Glasses” takes us backstage at a theater and mixes the band’s playing with some stop-motion hijinx and clever use of silhouettes.

Both music videos, as well as the full track list for “Wonder Future” are located just below the jump.
