Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Idol group Vanilla Beans announced recently that they will be quitting after a last single and last shows. That last single's details have now been announced. "going my way" is an upbeat song, while B-side "Last Song" is a ballad, both are themed around the end of the unit but with a look at the future. The jacket is a nostalgic nod to "Nicola" (2008), the first single that featured Rena and Lisa.

Tower Records gives away a "No Music, No Idol!" poster of a photo from the single's photo shoot, only at 15 physical stores (details here). Vanilla Beans' last in-store event will be held on October 3 from 19:00 on Shibuya Marui's rooftop. A special Vanilla Beans shop and gallery of artifacts is open on the 4th floor of Shibuya Marui until October 7.

Vanilla Beans' last one-man show will be held on October 6 at Shibuya Duo Music Exchange. A special last event will be held the next day on October 7 at Shinjuku ReNY, with guests including Negicco, lyrical school, Tokyo Girls Style and more. Find details on these and other remaining shows here.
