This time, the five-piece has decided to re-record their very first and most popular song \u60aa\u5f79\u306e\u306f\u306a\u3057 (<em>Akuyaku no hanashi<\/em>). The original song can be found on their very first self-produced EP from 2019, <em>FACT Re:<\/em>. The music video depicts a confrontation with themselves while singing about justice and evil. \u2014 Recommended by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3042\u308b\u304f\u3068\u30fc\u30fc\u3075 - \u60aa\u5f79\u306e\u306f\u306a\u3057\u3010Official Music Video\u3011\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bab3rqf4-2Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Catfood Salmons &#8211; SYMPATHY<\/h3>\n<p>This week the in 2018 formed band Catfood Salmons released their sophomore mini-album, with the title <em>Patchworks<\/em>.

The album delves into more introspective feelings from their previous mini-album <em>Watercolors<\/em>, which was released two years ago, but is still full of constant enthusiasm for music. \u2014 Recommended by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Catfood Salmons - SYMPATHY\uff08Music Video\uff09\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r9lNiGd9d5A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Carpenter&#8217;sBlue &#8211; Gianna<\/h3>\n<p>We have arrived at the third single from three-member shoegazer band Carpenter&#8217;sBlue, <em>Gianna<\/em>, and the title track received a cinematic music video. It&#8217;s another song with a strong emphasis on melody and lyricism in the song text. The trio has been active since the summer of 2019 and is situated in Machida, which is to the west of Tokyo. Hopefully 2023 will bring the band a mini-album or full-length album. \u2014 Recommended by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carpenter&#039;sBlue - Gianna\uff3bMusic Video\uff3d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x6klG7dgh6I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>\u30c1\u30e7\u30fc\u30ad\u30e5\u30fc\u30e1\u30a4 (ChoQMay) &#8211; \u5341\u4e09\u6708\u306e\u9280\u6cb3 (Galaxy Beyond December)<\/h3>\n<p>From the start in the summer of 2020, this pop band has been quite active in pumping out new music and videos to present their face and tunes to the world and this paid off.
