New Pop goddesses FEMM take us to the club in their new night-out-with-the-girlies anthem ‘Girls Night Out.’
If you don’t know what FEMM is, you need to get into it. They’re a high concept duo fronted by mannequins RiRi and LuLa. They are part of an elite unit named “FAR EAST MENTION MANNEQUINS” from the near future sent out to find mannequins that meet a “certain criteria.”
If you think you have what it takes, sign up on their website and you can become an agent with a mannequin. Both are you, but at the same time, they’re not. If you do decide on becoming part of the agency, you might become the hero of the revolution that is about to take place to find out what happened to the 300,000 mannequins that went missing.
After a nearly two-year absence from solo work, singer-songwriter SAWA has finally announced her latest release RingaRinga for September 24th.
SAWA has seen a few ups and downs over the years. Debuting in 2008, she grew a small following as one of many so-called “post-Perfume” electronic pop acts through collaborations with producers like FreeTEMPO, RAM RIDER and m-flo‘s ☆Taku Takahashi, culminating in the major album release Welcome to Sa-World in 2010, which also featured some of her first songwriting and production efforts. Unfortunately, despite being well-received by fans, the album quickly fell off the charts and she was soon dropped from her record label, and many considered the acoustic taste of her 2012 indie comeback Soprano Rain too stark a departure from her previous sound.
Now, she’s recently been gaining attention again after writing for idol group Especia, and it seems like she might just be ready to get back to her roots. Former collaborator Takeshi Nakatsuka appears once more for “Kimi to Bartender,” while the mini-album also includes a self-cover of her Especia track “Midnight Confusion,” coupled with an introductory interlude, “Midnight na Hitotachi,” featuring the girls of Especia themselves.
Check out the cover and tracklist below!

Since the alleged drama that occurred with Yamapi, Nishikido Ryo and Akanshi Jin involving a fan’s cellphone, the two have made into the headlines again. Reportedly, Nishikido is now dating a beautiful model-like woman and Yamapi may be arrested.
I’m not sure why this young boy is famous, but he has seem to amassed 337,000 followers on Twitter and nearly 100,000 followers on vine.
His name is Kemio (Amigachu are just his hypegirls) and he seems to be a hot topic among high school girls, gaining 100,000 twitter followers in under a month earlier this year according to his interview with modelpress. A recent high school graduate, he has since been working with culture magazine “HR” as a model and even posed with his idol Lady Gaga on a magazine cover… well, a doll version of her at least.
Watching TV as a young boy is what inspired him to live for the applause. He has gotten a lot of attention for his flamboyant vines, but doesn’t consider himself to be just an actor or singer. He’s the whole package: Kemio!

Check out the previews below… as well as the full versions for most since she hasn’t released an original album since 2008. #BoAteas
