Here's the first album from idol group Sakura Gakuin. I'm bringing it up because the song "Dear Mr.Socrates", sung by sub-group Twinklestars (the "baton" section) is produced by ex-Cymbals' Okii Reiji, and despite the clear idol direction with the many girls, you can surely recognize a Shibuya-kei vibe in there!.. in this song that is. As a plus it seems like all these teenage girls can really sing. Do check out the sample video clip below.
Well, this album is offered in an hallucinating 4 editions(!), three limited ones named "sa" "ku" and "ra" with each a different DVD, and a regular edition of the CD only. I'd recommend either the "ku" edition which has a segment with the "baton section" on its DVD, or just the CD alone. For those who just want the one song, iTunes Japan offers "Dear Mr.Socrates" individually.

sōtaiseiriron have been around for 4 years and have released 3 albums. This new one features songs from the previous albums along with some brand new recordings, all revamped by many famous artists: Cornelius, Buffalo Daughter, Sakamoto Ryūichi, Ōtomo Yoshihide, Suzuki Keiichi (Moonriders), Scha Dara Parr, Spank Happy (Kikuchi Naruyoshi), Arto Lindsay, Fennesz and Matthew Herbert. The album's title means "The correct sōtaiseiriron" (for those who don't know, the band's name means "theory of relativity"). More than just a remix album, it's said to be a "mutant album".

Aira Mitsuki has a 2nd live DVD coming up, this time of the awesome final show of her latest tour for 3rd album "???". This show was held last January 30 at Liquidroom in Ebisu, Tokyo.
I had the great pleasure to be in the audience, and you can read my report here. The full show really contained some 8 extra songs, though we're still left with a total of 24 tracks that should amount to almost 2 hours full of energy and fun dancing. Check out the preview clip below! A few photos can also be seen over at Natalie.
The package also includes a CD single of brand new song "Hound Dog".
