Boy-girl unit Magic Party has a new mini-album with a concept of inviting 5 different artists to produce each track, hence the title that translates to "2 vs 5". Those producers are Konishi Yasuharu, Kaji Hideki, Matsuda "Chabe" Gakuji (Cubismo Grafico), Aida Shigekazu (El-Malo) and Hidaka Tōru (Beat Crusaders).
Lead track "Blackout" is produced by Konishi Yasuharu and its distinctive sound should make Pizzicato Five fans happy! This one only is available in advance on iTunes Japan, for those who can't wait.
