[Music In-View] Claris – Party Time

It’s only 2 month after the last single “STEP” released in April which is basically a single for the Anime series Nisekoi that also airing around that season (If I’m not mistaken, Nisekoi is on the spring anime season category, while today season for anime are categorized as summer), now this lovely duo came with their newest and 3rd album so far 😀

The 3rd is called Party Time … yeah let’s party 😀 … while this should be release in April 4, 2014 but the Limited Edition (with DVD) already “launched” yesterday (or maybe 2 days ago, even in amazon.jp are available for purchase 🙂 ) though the regular edition and 1 special edition will be release tomorrow (pre order already open though :p). The regular still contains only their 12 track without any bonuses, while the limited will be with 1 DVD contains of PV for “colorful” (Madoka Magica Movie), “CLICK” and “STEP” (Nisekoi OP theme) and some “stuff” 😀

[Music In-View] Yanagi Nagi – Euaru

I though I post about Yanagi Nagi latest single 2 months ago, A single that release to enliven the anime series Yahari ore no seishun rabukome wa machigatteiru. Now Geneon Universal as her current label record, on July 03, 2013 … also for the first time … release the first album of Yanagi Nagi, with title Euaru … her debut album in this industry (and I hope it’s not her last album 😀 )

[Music In-View] Claris – Second Story

I still remember the first time I heard “irony”, the first single release from this duo. While watching oreimo, the opening take my interest and began to think “nice op” then searching through the internet and found out the singer name “claris”, not only that, it turn out that this duo in their first debut to the J-Pop and anime music industry with “irony”, is only a junior high school student … I mean 2 junior high students (now I think they’re already senior high) ^.^ using the “anon status” with initial Clara + Alice = Claris, they’ve success to release 7 singles and 2 albums so far … good result, considering they’re still high school students (even some of their single listed in top ten Oricon Monthly Singles and Albums last year) 😀
