Girl Next Door gears up for 2011 + preview of their new single
J-pop trio Girl Next Door is gearing up for 2011 by releasing a new single and album next month in a simultaneous release.
On March 16th, the group will release their eleventh single, “Twitter ~silent scream~“. Girl Next Door descibes the single as, “A single that fans have been demanding. Anyone who hears the song will be able to feel the story through the magnificent sound and lyrics that will draw people in.”
This type of story will be a first for the group, especially for the PV. They are working with famous director Koizumi Norihiro (ROBOT), who directed the movies “FLOWERS” and “Taiyo no Uta”. The complete PV is a whole ten minutes, another first for the group.
“Twitter ~silent scream~” will be the opening theme to NTV’s “Happy Music” program for the month of February. It will then be the ending theme song to “Yoasobi Mishimai” for February through March.
There are two versions of the single: a limited edition with DVD and a normal edition.
Limited edition A DVDs will come with the music video and a slipcase, while the normal edition will be a CD only. Both CDs will have five tracks, three of which will only be available on the single.
They do not plan on releasing it in the upcoming album.
The second announcement is their third album, which will come with a set of ‘goods’ for their fanclub members.
Their second album was #1 on Oricon Charts, and this third album is expected to do the same. Like their single, the album, “Destination“, will be released on March 16th, and it will have four different versions. It also has six new songs, giving this album a total of 13 songs.
Type A will include a DVD that has seven music videos (subject to change) and a 30 minute documentary.
Type B DVDs will have 60 minutes of live footage from their “FIRST TOUR 2010 FINAL” encore.
Type C will have a bonus CD that contains eight remixes, including “Infinity”, “FRIENDSHIP”, and “Seeds of dream”.
Type D is a CD only edition, but the first press of the CD album will have a special price of ¥2,100 (tax in) ($25 USD) and an alternative jacket.
