Just last week we reported that 80s-influenced rock band Newspeak would be releasing their first mini-album “Out Of The Shrinking Habitat” on October 3rd.  Now, in order to promote this release, the group have published the music video for its lead track “Lake” to their Youtube channel.

This PV, directed by Hiroya Brian Nakano, features the band posing as landscapers tending to a pool, alternating between working and enjoying the space.  According to Nakano, the video is meant to represent the theme of this late summer song’s lyrics – that there is more to life than the chaotic shuffle which tends to dominate every day.

Check the music video for Kanjani8’s “Koko ni” (Here), the group’s first single as a 6-member group. The group has experienced several setbacks this year, including the withdrawal of their lead vocalist Subaru Shibutani and injury and illness of member Yasuda Shota who is still in the recovering stage. The group however is quick to move forward. “Koko ni” is written considering the circumstances surrounding the group and imparts the message as they usher in a new beginning. Part of its lyrics says “Don’t let it start, start it”.

The song is written by WANIMA and is the first song the trio has ever written for another artist. The video was shot during sunrise to signify this new chapter. Check out the PV below!

Earlier this week, popular metal band MAXIMUM THE HORMONE announced that they would be suspending their live activities while member Daisuke-han receives surgery for a severe herniated disc.  Scarcely a day later, the group have chosen to upload a music video for track “Haikei VAP-dono”, or more simply “VAP” – their first new song in over five years.

One of the more lighthearted entries into the band’s catalog, “Haikei VAP-dono” is notably sung almost entirely in a strange language the group have claimed originates from “Planet Ryo” – as only singer/guitarist Ryo Kawakita seems to be able to understand what it means.  As best can be gathered, the track appears to be suggesting that the group will be transferring labels from VAP – whom they have been with since going major back in 2004 – to Warner Music Japan, and intend to release new material in November (or sometime close to that).

You’ll find the festive music video for “Haikei VAP-dono” below, and look forward to additional information about MAXIMUM THE HORMONE’s upcoming activities as it is made available.

Alternative rockers Newspeak are gearing up for the release of their first mini-album “Out Of The Shrinking Habitat” next week on October 3rd.  Following the reveal of their music video for lead track “Lake” late last month, the band have now published the PV for the record’s second promotional track “24/7 What For” to their YouTube channel.

Directed by Hiroya Brian Nakano, who also directed Lake’s MV, this video was created to pair with the song’s discussion of social media addiction.  Through the use of CG and vivid colors, Newspeak attempt to convey just how unlike reality what we see on the internet can be.
