LADYBABY to release 2nd Single as 4 members


LADYBABY will release their 2nd physical single "Haten ni Raimei" (Thunder Breaks the Heavens) on May 28th through the new label, Raimei Records (Thunder Records). It incorporates various elements such as JPop, Hip Hop, Death Voice, etc. into a heavy sound that is synonymous with LadyBaby. The single will include 2 coupling tracks "God's Not" and "LB 4 Future".

(*Haten comes from "Haten Kou (破天荒)". It means "Doing something that has never been done before" or "Unheard of/Unprecedented". A literal translation would be "Break the Heavens", so the title would be "Thunder Breaks the Heavens")

Raimei Records is a joint label between TV Tokyo Music and Clearstone. It will strongly support Artists that are unique within the music industry and allow them to develop without interference.

Normally, I wouldn't post something basic like this, but this will be LADYBABY's first physical single since "Hoshi no nai sora" was released a year ago. They did release a digital single "Damedame Dono" last October, and just released another one last week, "Riot Anthem", but I expected a little more after they became a 4 member group. When they started making digital releases, I was worried they were running out of money, but they must have just been looking for a new record deal. Hopefully it means we'll get more substantial releases this year.


Comments from the members:

Kaneko Rie

"I'm happy to see new and important works by the 4 of us increase. On this single, I think that the color of each member can be seen, and it incorporates what we've learned/experienced over the past year since the group became 4 members. The strength of the song lies in the immediacy of the lyrics, of what it says about who we are "now". Along with the heaviness, rapping, and metal riffs, it's a song that can only be expressed to it's fullest when performed live, so by all means, please listen to it with that feeling!"

Ikeda Nana

"I'm very happy to release our new single this way. This song differ slightly from the atmosphere/vibe we've created up till now. There's a bit of a street vibe with lots of rapping. It's become a very cool song! It's because of the current incarnation of LADYBABY that you can enjoy this kind of music!"

Karasawa Fuka

"I'm really happy that we decided to release our first single in about a year! When you listen to it live, it's a song that unexpectedly becomes a lullaby, so please look forward to it."

Arima Emily

"Depending on the style of these 3 lovely songs, they create a work that vividly showcases each members personality! I was honored to be involved in the production by writing lyrics for the Death Voice parts. I'd be happy if you'd listen to it."
