Former E-girls member Dream Ami has released a brand new MV for “Re:Dream”, a promotional song from her upcoming debut studio album sharing the same name as the song.

The playful MV begins with Ami going through a vast white room filled with pink doors. The doors lead Ami through various wacky and fun situations meant to symbolize Ami’s “dream world”. These different scenes include Ami having a boxing match with a plush cartoon version of herself, appearing in a puzzle, and climbing up a set of stairs in space. In usual LDH fashion impressive dance choreography is featured throughout the video.

Re:Dream is the second promotional song from the album, following XOXO. 17 songs will be included in total including a solo cover version of E-girls hit song “Follow Me“, along with 7 music videos and a documentary on the DVD versions. Re:Dream will be released on October 4th, 2017. Watch the MV below the jump!

We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback. This is where we look back on what topped Oricon this week 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.

Two years after the release of her previous album, folk singer/songwriter Miyuki Nakajima has announced that she will be releasing a new record on November 22nd.  “Soumon” will be Nakajima’s 42nd studio release and will include both “Bojou”, her summer single from this year, and a self-cover of “Aria -Air-“, a song which she wrote for singer Ayaka Hirahara.

In support of this release, Nakajima will be embarking on an 18-date tour starting on November 26th and concluding early the following year on February 18th.  These shows will be considered part of her special “Yakai” concert series, which has a focus on elaborate stage performances.

Read on below to find both the cover and track list for “Soumon”, as well as a preview of single track and album closer “Bojou.”

The U.S.-based actor Hiroyuki Sanada (56) will join the second season of the HBO-produced sci-fi drama ‘Westworld’, IMDb posted. There is no details about his character yet but as he has impressive experience with action films and doing stunts, an adrenaline-driven cowboy cyborg is not out of the question.

One of the coolest things about FEMM is that they are always taking part in activities apart from the common music releases. Sadly, this doesn’t translate that well to overseas fans, which are sometimes left wondering where are their queens. And just like that, they release a three-track single out of the blue! The double A-Side Digital single “My Revolution / Konya wa Boogie Back” features as key concept “80s-90s J-Pop Revival”, as the songs are covers of J-Pop bops from the past! However, it’s clear a futuristic input has also been included in the pack, creating a beautiful trio of songs!

For “My Revolution”, song originally released by Misato Watanabe in 1986, Akina, Anna and Mikako from FAKY are featured providing vocals, while Lil’Fang from FAKY and Yup’in take part in “Konya wa Boogie Back”, released in 1994 by Kenji Ozawa, singing the rap segments of the track. Lastly, the third track, “Falling For A Lullaby”, is an original song only sang by FEMM, and has already been used for the Prince Shopping Plaza. Check out both the original and the cover songs and more information about the production and illustrations of the single just after the jump!
