BACK-ON’s new single ‘ONE STEP!/Tomorrow never knows’ out on January 27th 2010!

BACK-ON will be releasing a new single called ‘ONE STEP!/Tomorrow never knows‘ in January 2010!

It’s been a while since we’ve posted news on the BOO website, and we are very glad to be bringing you this fantastic update, as this is the first single release since  ‘flyaway‘, which was released way back in January 2009.

The single will feature 2 songs:  ONE STEP! feat. mini and Tomorrow Never Knows, and is due out on January 27th 2010, with an RRP of  ¥1,050.

Two of our most favourite websites have been very receptive of new single suggestions, so you can now pre-order the single from:

• Play-Asia ($11.90)
• YesAsia ($13.49)
• CDJapan ($11.06)

amongst others. It is probably worth bearing in mind that purchasing from YesAsia and CDJapan will contribute towards BACK-ON‘s Oricon rankings,  but Play-Asia is currently offering 10% off the listed price (sale price shown above) so after postage and packaging, it might be slightly cheaper. 10% discount is no longer on offer so may or may not be cheaper*

I certainly have high hopes for the single. Tomorrow never knows has already been used as the background theme music for the DyDo coffee TV commercial and in case you haven’t heard it yet, you can watch the 30 second CM in full or below courtesy of jr77355.

In the meantime, we do know that BACK-ON are currently preparing for their 2 forthcoming live gigs in Taiwan on the 26th and 27th of December, at Taichung’s SOUND LIVE HOUSE and Taipei’s THE WALL LIVE HOUSE respectively.

You can see the special promotional poster below:

BACK-ON will be supported by local bands such as LAZY LADY, OverDose, Broken Flowers (碎紙花), and Solidor(固定客) (Solidor’s Blog).

Last but not least, Kenji03 and the band members are here to promote their mini ‘tour’ on Youtube. The video is courtesy of MONSTERSNITE and we get to hear Kenji03 speak some quality mandarin! :)

Watch the first Murder Princess OVA CM/Trailer

I wouldn’t normally post such detailed information about the Murder Princess OVA at this stage, but this time there’s a special reason:

Its the first opportunity for us to hear the Fk Metal ver. of Hikari Sasuhou!

The clip is only 15 seconds long and there’s a rather loud voice-over, but you can definitely tell that it is indeed a different version of Hikari Sasuhou.

There are several ways for you to watch this clip, either on Youtube (courtesy of Mitheor) or on the official Murder Princess website. Alternatively, watch it below in either WMV or FLV format!

Last but not least, a reminder that the first DVD will be released on March 28th 2007 . I’ll make another news post at some point summarising the information about the anime but if you want to take a quick peek at the release, Famitsu.com has a news post with some screenshots.

Watch the “Chain” MV

In the future all media will be streamed from Enchained, but in the meantime – Youtube (being the source of all things video) is our friend. You can watch Back-on’s Chain PV on Youtube courtesy of Absjpn.

Other Back-on MVs that you can find on Youtube are from blueblueblue include:

• Flydom from ‘Baby Rock‘, Back-on’s 3rd mini-album

  
  

• Gaku Ten also from ‘Baby Rock‘ featuring (Nao Oikawa)

  
  

• Baby Rock CM where CM stands for ‘Commercial Message’.
