Golden Bomber will be releasing new single ‘Rola no Kizudarake‘ on August 20 and has revealed the PV through their YouTube channel.
With this single, Golden Bomber seeks “specialization in music”. This is an experiment for the band – the CD will come with a plain white jacket cover and include none of those bonuses that have been popular in the past couple of years.
This idea has received praise from netizens across the internet, but at the same time, is seemingly alienating fans of groups who use these strategies.

Continuing with her expansion into America, singer Crystal Kay has released the music video to Dum Ditty Dumb. Late last month she revealed a teaser for the video that had many of her fans excited. Many have noted that this is a new sound and look for Crystal. She herself has described it as Yokohama Ratchet Pop. The song itself is a mixture of American and Japanese music. The reason behind the song’s name is because it’s about a girl going crazy over a guy, so much so that she feels the need to rap in Japanese. The video itself combines 2D animation with live-action which gives it, overall, a unique look that her fans are sure to love.
