LOVEBITES // Let it shine and be beautiful, forever

雪 (Yuki) 6 May 2026 No Comments
With their fifth studio album “Outstanding Power” releasing in Europe through Napalm Records on May 8, LOVEBITES are more than ready to continue with a new chapter in their music. The album is not the only musical milestone for the five metal women either, since they also played the famous Nippon Budokan stage for the first time ever last March!

More than enough reasons to invite vocalist Asami for an interview to learn a little more about their new album and their current ideas regarding their music!

Z CLEAR // サイン (Sain): I’d rather love than be loved

雪 (Yuki) 2 November 2025 No Comments
After the release of their single “広島” (Hiroshima) in late December of 2024, Z CLEAR have released not one, but two new singles: “ぶちROCK” (Buchi ROCK) in April and “サイン” (Sain) in July. That last one is a one-track digital single, but does come with a music video.

“広島” (Hiroshima) already had a strong power of attraction, but this new single is definitely a sign that the group is on to something! It’s power attracted 雪 (Yuki) once more, so she took a closer look at the single and accompanying MV, and is ready to tell you all about it in this review.

We asked the group for a chat to talk about their band, music and of course how they see their future. Are you ready to meet SLEIPNIR?
