Vanilla Beans are back with a new mini-album titled "Def & Def", after the song they sing in a commercial for unisex deodorant "D&D" (this one stands for "Deo & Dry"). The song is included here in two different versions, along with covers of theme songs from various young witch anime series, two of which were included on the recently released compilation "Kirakira Majocco Cluv".

I've been listening to this new Vanilla Beans this weekend and its really really nice.
Do they have any concrete producer or song-writter or they just keep changing every new release? (sigh, hope booklets were in english and not just in japanese ^^)

Sorry I took a while. :)
Glad you like this release! I've been enjoying it a lot too!
I think their songs so far have mostly been written/produced by people at their record label, no famous producer that I know of. I could be wrong though. This mini-album does contain one song produced by 8-bit unit Sexy Synthesizer. Also KAJI Hideki wrote lyrics for their song "LOVE&HATE".
