She also made a guest appearence in CL's The Baddest Female PV in 2013. In 2011 she released her own original album, MADEMOWORLD, and plans to release her second in 2013, titled WHATEVER HARAJUKU.

Deliciously put-together tread
I'm really excited for new stuff, I recently got into her music. Anyone who hasn't listened to her yet should!

[pommy48]

I really liked Moonlight Express from her last album

I've been repeating that clip of HARAJUKU WONDER for days!

[ayufan-]

I can't wait for the Harajuku Wander musicvideo, I really want to see it already >.<

[koumori]

I remember being absolutely obsessed with MADEMOWORLD back in 2011. I can't wait for new stuff, it's been far too long! The music video clip sounds okay, but I'm hoping the full-length ver. sounds a little better. By the way...is it just me that prefers the MADEMOWORLD cover to the WHATEVER HARAJUKU cover..? I don't know, the new style seems so immature and not professional compared.

[relmy]

Mature is one of the last words I put next to MADEMOWORLD, I do think the cover is less refined though.

I'm so excited for this, her first album was awesome. I still play Zodiac Gold and GIMME GIMME now.

Well, I meant more that it looked like a school kid designed the new one I do really love the first one though, but all the colours and clashing design on WHATEVER HARAJUKU..I don't know...I just want to know what was going through the designer's mind

[tomiko8]

ooooh im so excited

[emi♡]

I missed your thread!

Thank you for making it <3

Very excited for her next album, but I'm a little concerned with what sound she'll come out with tbh...especially with that cover. I really hope she keeps the darker, dancy, electro, but we'll see!

New interview with BLOUIN ARTINFO. It's in Japanese, but there's some new promo pictures. In the interview she talks about hoping to support artists overseas, and that in WHATEVER HARAJUKU she's trying a wider range of music than before. There's probably a lot more information, but that's all I could get out of it.

Interview link!

Just listened to a short ver. of that song off her new album. She's hot! This is what J-Pop has been missing. She's got a lot of spunk and style.

[zellyx]

just listened to Gimme Gimme, and.. wow. Can't believe I haven't heard of her before!!!

[ayufan-]

[NintendoHTF1242]

OMFG I am OBSESSED with this bitch! She is EVERYTHING I've been missing from Japanese pop. Hot booty-poppin' music with a great look.

[koumori]

HARAJUKU WANDER is catchy, but it's missing that oomph of GIMME GIMME or DOWN DOWN for me. But thanks for sharing the longer version Her look has been flawless so far in this era.

[pommy48]

The song is so addicting! And all the colors

[Delicious n Bold]

I don't know who this chick is but I like the youtube preview.

There's some youtube links to some of her songs in the first post (under the banner) She's got a few solid pop-electro songs already. I'm surprised not more people know her at AHS, hence the thread - I really think people here will enjoy her stuff.

[emi♡]

fuck me that's my girl. You just can't teach that style.
