KBG84, Japan’s oldest idol group, have released their first major label single. The song features a sanshin (Okinawan string instrument) performance by Kikuo Tsuchida, an Okinawan musician, in the vein of traditional min’you music with a pop idol vibe to it.

The new single is available on Amazon Japan and iTunes. Now we’re just hoping they’ll release a full album soon … preferably with a Babymetal collaboration or two!
