Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Vanilla Beans are back with a new powerful single! The song "uchōten Girl" has music that was originally written in the 80's for idol group Wink (by hit songwriter Inoue Daisuke), though it ended up unused until Vanilla Beans' staff unearthed it. Check out the catchy video below with their new cheerleader-like outfits.

The B-side, "Kiss wa me ni shite pō!" is a cover of another song by the same songwriter, actually a pop arrangement of Beethoven's "Für Elise" that was used in a cosmetics commercial in the 80's in Japan.

The limited edition comes with a bonus 30-minute DVD that follows the girls as they attempt to climb Mount Fuji!

Vanilla Beans will perform a one-man live at Ebisu Liquidroom on December 18, not to be missed! Details at Tokyo Gig Guide.
