'Comet' and 'RGB' are cool in English lyrics. Many others... um, I'd rather hear the Japanese.

 

Her English is mostly clear, I can appreciate.

I've only heard 'Blue' so far as 群青 is my favourite of theirs and honestly, I don't know, I far prefer them in Japanese.

 

'The Book' is one of my favourite albums of the year so I guess I'll give this a look but the originals are almost certainly going to be far preferable.

That said, if this gives YOASOBI a more international push I'd welcome it, they're still absolutely stratospheric in Japan and it shows no sign of letting up so the potential is certainly there for them to hit it big outside.

Into The Night and RGB have been growing well on me until now (OGs are still the best though), pretty interested in repeating Tracing A Dream as well.

The remaining tracks, I'm sticking to the Japanese.

E-SIDE 2 is out today:

 

New song titled Idol, soundtrack for an anime called Oshi no Ko, was out Wednesday. Sounds different from their last 2 albums and I like it!

 

English version of 'Idol'.

I prefer the Japanese version, but not surprised at this one.

 

They sure have blown up the 'synthesised voice' (virtual singer) kind of music to the wider audience.

'Idol' is a such a tune, I think it might be challenging 'Gunjou' to be their best yet. Come back to it so much and that's not even because of it soundtracking the anime (which I've fallen behind on).

These HITC Los Angeles performances were just insane. :cheeseblock:

 

New song Yuusha (Hero / Brave), for the upcoming anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, will be released on September 29th.

 

Preview:

 

Also, they become the headline of the latest NME edition:
