The curtain has been pulled back on “Kimi no Tonari“, the upcoming fifth single released by Dream Ami. Filmed with a smartphone, the video was directed by Hidenobu Tanabe and documents day-to-day life with her “boyfriend”.

This is Dream Ami’s first single since LDH announced huge changes with E-girls and the creation of E.G. Family, which announced Dream’s disbandment and Ami’s intentions to be a solo artist fulltime. And yes, she will be maintaining her “Dream” moniker.

Following her previous single “Hayaku Aitai“, this is Ami’s second song released as a single that was penned by herself. It also comes before her first album, which is set for release in September 2017.

Fusion rock band UVERworld recently announced that they will be releasing a brand new studio album on August 2nd.  This record, titled “TYCOON”, will be the group’s first such release since 2014’s “0 CHOIR”, marking the longest gap between albums for the band.

“TYCOON” will be well worth the wait, however, with nearly 79 minutes of music packed into this massive 18 track release.  Though the record will include songs from all of their singles this era, many of them will receive special album remixes, ensuring that even those who follow the band regularly will have something to look forward to.  Furthermore, the album will be released in two different versions, the Limited Edition planned to include a bonus CD and a photobook packaged in a special sleeve case.

You’ll find the cover and complete track list for “TYCOON” right after the jump, so please do read on below.

A couple of weeks ago we reported on the impending release of Spitz‘s latest compilation album, which is due out next week on July 5th.  The band has now published the music video for the third and final new song to be included with the Best:  “1987→”.

This upbeat, punk rock-inspired track is meant to evoke the sound which Spitz had during their indie days and ensure fans that they’ve never forgotten where they came from.  This sentiment is complemented by a PV which explores the group’s extensive live history, compiling footage from their earliest shows to their most recent tours.

Read on below to find the full PV for “1987→”, and look forward to the Best’s official release next week.

Idols Yurumerumo! (You’ll melt more!) just released the Music Video for “Moi Moi“, a new track featured in the unit’s new mini album “Discopsychedelica“.

The video shows the four members playing the role of restaurant waiters, but they’re clearly not into this kind of job; as you would expect from Yurumerumo!, things get weird pretty soon, precisely when they start hypnotizing people and leave the whole restaurant in a state of trance where customers dance and jump like zombies. Then they serve them food of questionable quality, like weirdly-colored fish and soups, something that – for whatever reason – turns the restaurant into a club. Because why not.
