As previously announced, Shiina Ringo will release her new album, “Sandokushi”, on May 27. Ahead of the album’s release, she’s released the music video for the album’s opener, “Niwatori to Hebi to Buta.” In the clip, Ringo’s dancer AYA SATO plays the titular chicken, snake, and pig, the three animals which represent the three poisons in Buddhism: greed, anger, and delusion, respectively.
The video’s director / Ringo’s lover, Kodama Yuichi, said that the music video for “Niwatori to Hebi to Buta” is linked to the more recent videos of this era, those being “Kamisama, Hotokesama”, “Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri”, “Menukidori”, and “Kemono Yuku Hosomichi.” He explained that all those videos took place in Tokyo the same night, and that the video for “Niwatori to Hebi to Buta” is another story of that night.

Earlier in the year Maho was assaulted while returning home from a concert, after speaking out about the incident AKS management was harshly criticized by both Japanese and oversea media for the way the entire situation was handled.

Nao Toyama is currently one of the top female “seiyuu” in Japan. Getting her start in 2010, her first main role came shortly after when she voiced Kanon Nakagawa in the anime series “The World God Only Knows“. She has also voiced characters for the popular shows and video games “Nisekoi”, “My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU”, “Laid-back Camp”, and “Fire Emblem”.
While overzealous fans are nothing new in the industry, certain people in Nao’s fanbase have began to take it to an extreme. Every time Nao or one of her staff posts something on SNS, it’s repeatedly spammed, often with “offensive” content.
