Active since spring 2022, multi-instrumentalist Carole ai\u2763\ufe0f brought some musicians together after a call on Instagram inspired by English band The Kaisers. Very soon after, they were performing in identical miniskirts and glitter make-up to steal the hearts of the audiences. Last year, they released their first single featuring Little Richard&#8217;s song <em>Jenny,Jenny<\/em> (but the Japanese version released by Yasushi Suzuki a few years after the original song), the inspiration for their band name. \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=\"\u30b8\u30a7\u30cb\u30fb\u30b8\u30a7\u30cb\u300c\u6559\u3048\u3066\u3042\u3052\u308b\u300d \u3010MV\u3011\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gunBb1gCLU0?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>roi bob &#8211; mirror<\/h3>\n<p>After releasing several singles, the three-member band roi bob has reached their fourth single, <em>mirror<\/em>, a pleasant pop song with a shoegazey vibe.

Originally a quintet, the band recently parted ways with two members, but that didn&#8217;t stop them from continuing to create music. This track is featured on Asteryawn&#8217;s first mini-album, fittingly titled <em>After a yawn,<\/em> (including the comma).

It is also their first release in five years, although they published a music video several years ago but it looks like they officially returned to activities early this year. Formed in 2019 with the city of Fukuoka as their home base, the alternative rock band consists of vocalist Fumiko who also writes the lyrics, guitarist Usako and Mayu on keyboard. Characteristic is the use of irregular time signatures which contrasts precisely with their bright sound, enhanced by dark lyrics, creating a unique quirky atmosphere.\u00a0\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=\"rillrail\u300cGarden\u300dMusic Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EqxBd8CMtlk?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>BALZAC &#8211; \u6b7b\u7dda (Shisen)<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I came across anything new from the four-member band BALZAC, that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ve been out of action, but this week they released a brand-new music video and they announced their 13th album, their first since 2019&#8217;s <em>Hybrid Black<\/em> and 30 years since the release of their debut album.

Besides some demos, they have also released several singles that are also digitally available. The two musicians have a DIY mentality, doing almost everything themselves from songwriting and arranging to recording and mixing the music, designing artwork, and filming and editing videos. Although the band has only been active since spring 2023, they have big dreams, including performing on international stages.\u00a0\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=\"Music Video\u300c\u30a2\u30ed\u30ac\u30f3\u30c8\u300d\/ cry crow.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sMBQ2BmDPuY?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>minako &#8211; odd<\/h3>\n<p>Last October, singer-songwriter minako released her first full-length album, titled <em>FAREWELL<\/em>.

In 2021, she began her solo career under the name minako and the following year she released an album of folk songs.
