Well liked rock band Spitz have announced that they will be releasing a new Live DVD / Blu-ray next month on May 3rd. Well ahead of its street date, the group have published a live music video for their song “Samenai”, the title track from the album the tour was meant to support.
In addition, it was also revealed this week that Spitz will be responsible for the new theme song for popular morning television program Mezamashi TV. The track will be titled “Heavy Mellow” and has been described as a song which pairs positive emotions with their more typically introspective lyrics. A preview of “Heavy Mellow” can be found here.
You’ll find the live PV for “Samenai”, an additional teaser, the DVD’s full track list, and an extended look at their new Mezamashi TV theme song below.
Back in December we reported on the release of popular rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN’s music video for their track “Answer”. Just this week the band finally published the full version of the PV to their Youtube channel, enabling everyone to take a full listen to the retro-inspired song.
Answer’s PV is composed almost entirely of footage from popular anime Sangatsu no Lion, for which the track served as the first opening theme. However, the shots used have been cut together so that they pair perfectly with the song’s lyrics, creating an even deeper connection between the two pieces of media.
Read on below to find the full version of BUMP’s music video for “Answer”.
After a year and a half of silence, rock and funk band Ulfuls have announced that they will be releasing a brand new album titled “Jinsei” next month on May 24th.

“Jinsei” is currently planned to be released in two versions, with the Limited Edition to be paired with a DVD containing footage from their “Ulful Carnival” concert in Osaka.
