The idol gods have seen it fit to bless us with even more good new stuff from good old units, friends. The Idol Formerly Known as Yamaguchi Kassei Gakuen — now known as Yamakatsu — dropped an MV in advance of a later-this-month release:
“Survivor” is off of Yamakatsu’s eighth(!) single, “distopia”, the title of which alone gives me a warm fuzzy feeling deep inside. GO DARK, VETERAN IDOLS!
Update: Both MVs!
Guess who wrote the song!
Here’s a full live launch event:
The really cool thing, though, and one of those little things about idol that will always make me smile, was the delivery of a gift from the factory where they filmed:

Pssst.
“Yamakatsu” isn’t a name change. It’s just the shortened version of the full name: “Yamaguchi Kassei Gakuen” (^_-) Just like when you say YKG, it’s just an easier way to type it in Japanese, やまかつ rather than やまぐちかっせいがくえん or 山口活性学園
******** The more you know
Once again, my excitement to hold up namesy things for purposes of fun is poorly executed! Of course this man is right. He’s also Yamakatsu’s all-time greatest fan, so he has a vested interest.
Haha that is one of my many titles around here. I wonder how many other fans of YKG there are on here…
