I mean, the “Laser Beam” single comes out today so the world should know soon but…here’s a video possibly maybe of B-side “微かなカオリ” (or at least a little of it). If this IS the song…well, it might be the most cookie-cutter J-Pop thing they’ve ever done. It’s also pretty boring! UPDATE: Neaux…
Living in Japan offers a lot of perks yes, but also a handful of drawbacks. Chief among them, no Thanksgiving.

They are, distinctively, pop…there are clear, catchy choruses supported by twinkly instrumentation and Shinobu Ono’s lovely sing-rapping.
