LDH super group E-girls announced some major changes regarding the entire structure of the group. Throughout the past week the LDH official website has been teasing fans with a “E.G REVOLUTION COUNTDOWN”, leaving fans curious if things were about to be shaken up with the group.
LDH certainly didn’t disappoint, as of now E-Girls will be their entire own origination called “E.G Family”. To begin the E.G Family lineup will consist of seven acts. E-girls, Dream Ami, DANCE EARTH PARTY, Happiness, Flower, ShuuKaRen, and SudannaYuzuYully. Despite this being promoted as a “girls entertainment project”, it isn’t strictly limited to female members. DANCE EARTH PARTY includes EXILE members USA and TETSUYA, making them members of the “E.G Family”.
This week’s guests were Tetsuya Komuro, Ito Seiko, Honma Akimitsu, Daichi Miura, Ohno Yoshiyuki, Takahashi Shigeo, and Takizawa Karen. Tetsuya also performed with Kanjani8.

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.
This week on Recochoku, Beverly retook the top spot with “I need your love.”
On iTunes, TrySail topped the chart with their new single “adrenaline!!!”
Che’Nelle’s “Destiny” topped the Recochoku monthly chart for May.
This past Thursday alternative rock/indie pop outfit Sunny Day Service made waves with their surprise release of a brand new studio album. Unlike any of their past releases, however, this 85 minute, 22 track record, titled “Popcorn Ballads”, is not available for sale – it can only be found on streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
To coincide with the release of this new album, the group have also uploaded the music video for its lead track “Aoi Sensha” to their Youtube channel. This PV stars an unusual cadre of characters and focuses on a strange series of events surrounding the titular ‘blue chariot’.
You’ll find the music video for “Aoi Sensha”, as well as the cover and full track list for “Popcorn Ballads” right after the jump.
Back in February singer/songwriter Kenji Ozawa released “Ryuudoutai ni Tsuite”, his first proper single in over 19 years. Now, after over three months have passed, he has finally published the full version of the lead track’s music video to Universal Music Japan’s official Youtube channel.
The PV features a number of special guests, such as Shinya Arino (of comedy duo Yoiko), Nemu Yumemi (Denpagumi.inc), HALCA (HALCALI), and of course Kenji Ozawa himself. Scenes of these various personalities are cut together to ensure that the kind of ‘parallel world’ described in the song’s lyrics can be properly expressed.
