The band CHAI has been receiving a lot of buzz as of late and they are set to release their debut album, “PINK”, on October 25. The album received its title due to the fact that band uses pink a lot in their visuals, from their clothing to their makeup. “PINK” will feature eleven songs, including songs that represent the band such as “Gyaranbu”, “Boys Sex Men”, and “sayonara complex.” With “PINK”, CHAI wants to present their world view of “complex is art” and “NEO kawaii.”

The album will come in a CD+Booklet limited edition and a CD only regular edition. The booklet that comes with the limited edition is titled “COMPILEX” and further explains the band’s theme of “COMPLEX.”

This theme of “COMPLEX” presents itself in the video for the song “N.E.O.” In the clip, complexes such as being single or having small breasts are presented in a humorous and artistic way. Check out the video below, along with more information on CHAI’s debut album!

MIGMA SHELTER is certainly one of the most interesting acts in the Alt Idol  niche this year; part of the AqbiRec family (There There Theres, CLOCK&BOTAN), the six girls are the first unit in the scene to adopt Trance music as core of their sound, whereas other projects only briefly flirted with it to refine particular passages in certain tracks. While the peculiar sound proposed by MIGMA SHELTER surely played a major role in the positive reception the girls have been getting so far, solid songwriting is the winning element of their formula, welcoming occasional Rock influences – borrowed from producer Tanaka’s other projects of the same family – while maintaining Trance’s mesmerizing synths and beats as predominant elements.
