Despite the deluge of not-so-great news flying at us, this was actually a great week for chika idol music. Yanakoto Sotto Mute made their major label debut with an awesome single, Tsurezure put out a double A-side with two of their best tracks in a while, and we even got a new slow-burner from Ray.

After an eight month drought, Yukueshirezutsurezure gave us not one, but two new MVs this week. We were able to give REDERA the front page treatment. My deepest apologies “Still Roaring” for only making the weekender. I love you too.
The new RAY is lovely.
We got a Friday night gift from The Grateful a MogAAAz.

この1年ずっとパフォーマンスに力を貸してくれた私たちの衣装です。
この衣装を作ってくれたみしぇるちゃんの「衣装たちのお葬式をしてあげたい」という言葉をきっかけに、3人でこのフライヤーの計画を立てました。

A happy Nachu illustrates what happens when you stop performing six days a week as a member of PASSPO☆.
Natsumi Iwamura has been demonstrating the change in her figure since PASSPO☆ was disbanded in September 2018. The 28-year-old is now a plus size model for La Farfa. pic.twitter.com/AYWxRR9Txd
