Japan’s #1 Mommy Blogger Nozomi Tsuji has launched a brand new collection for her highly successful clothing line Saruru.

Launched in 2013, the line started out solely selling childrens clothes. Shortly after, Nozomi decided to expand the collection, adding clothes for adult men and women to her repertoire. Quite a few of the adult pieces mirror the childrens line, this was intentionally done so the entire family can match and be kawaii at the same time.

Saruru’s 2014 mid summer collection consists of casual wear perfect for playing outside or lazing around at home. The collection also features a collaboration with Hello Kitty and Sanrio, these select items were produced in limited quantity and are expected to sell out fast. Prices range from 3,300 to 9,000 yen. Check out the collection below!

Kanjani8’s superhero alter-ego Eight Ranger is set to release their 2nd second single, directly titled ‘ER2′ on August 6. The song is featured as the theme song for movie ‘Eight Ranger 2’ that opens July 26. Prior to the movie release, the ER2 PV (Issai Gassai ver) has been released. Snippets from the movie, new Hachimon mascots, the ranger dance routine, sentai group pose, and even Hawaiian Hula dancers are all present in the PV.

The first single, ER, has set the record single sales for a Movie Character when it sold 331,000 copies in its first week. ER2 gives a consistent feel as the first single, although fans seem to prefer the addictive power jam that is ER.

Check out the PV, tracklist, single covers and ER characters below. What happened to Black Ranger?

Rock band Heavenstamp‘s new mini-album Romantic Apartment was released this month on the 16th, and to promote the record, they’ve uploaded a music video for the single cut “Himitsu no Hanazono” on YouTube.

Romantic Apartment comes two years since the release of their self-titled debut album on major label Warner Music Japan. After losing drummer Mika due to a hip condition, vocalist/guitarist Sally#Cinnamon and guitarist Tomoya.S brought in MASEEETA (former BEAT CRUSADERS drummer) and TOKIE (bassist; ex-RIZE, AJICO) as session musicians and set about recording new material. The mini-album is the first release from indie label GOLDSHOES RECORDS, a property of Japanese music television channel SPACE SHOWER MUSIC.

Get a look at the PV below!

Oricon has announced its market report summarizing the sales of music software in the first half of 2014, which includes singles and album CD, DVDs, and Blu-ray.

Overall, total sales have decreased 1.1% compared to the same period last year, down for the second year in row.

Following the reveal of the single covers, Momoiro Clover Z‘s official YouTube channel uploaded the PV for their Sailor Moon Crystal opening theme song “MOON PRIDE” today.

Like the anime, the PV was directed by Munehisa Sakai, and while it may not feature Momoclo themselves, the music video is still worth a watch for a few original animated scenes not found in the currently airing remake. The transformation sequences of Mars, Jupiter and Venus are also shown for the first time in this clip, so steer clear if you don’t want to be spoiled.

You can see the video under the cut:

Aqua Timez previously announced a new album and tour for this year and now more information was released.  ‘Elf no Namida’, the band’s 6th album, will be released on August 27.
