It was earlier announced that Girls' Generation will be having a new Japanese single "Love & Girls" which will be their 7th release. Now its full music video has already been unveiled through YouTube!

Details about the single has already been revealed a month early and was initially reported to be out on May 29 but is now rescheduled to be available on June 19.

The music video was done on April 17 and female fans from the girl group's fan site got the chance to be in the Colorful Mardis Gras/Carnival-themed MV. The upbeat pop track matches well with the ever-energetic charisma of the girls.

Ako Shimaki's (Boku ni Natta Watashi) shōjo manga series Pin to Kona is getting a live-action television adaptation that will premiere in July.
Kis-My-Ft2 idol group member Yūta Tamamori (Gokusen's Ryōta Takasugi, Nobunaga no Chef's Ken) will star in the series as Kyōnosuke Kawamura, the handsome son of a noble family. Idol group NYC member Yūma Nakayama (Piece - Kanojo no Kioku) will play Ichiya Sawayama, a talented kabuki novice from no notable family, and 9nine group member Umika Kawashima (Hunter × Hunter: Phantom Rouge's Pyro) will play the kabuki-loving heroine Ayame Chiba. The romance manga follows both kabuki actors as they fall in love with the same girl.

Johnny's Jr. members Hokuto Matsumura and Jesse will co-star in the series as a fellow kabuki actor who is jealous of Ichiya and Kyōnosuke's friend, respectively.
Kōji Yamamoto, Masahiro Takashima, Takaaki Enoki, and Kyōko Enami will also play kabuki actors and leaders, and Gorō Kishitani will play Kyōnosuke's father.

The manga won the GIrls' Category at the 57th Shogakukan Manga awards last year. The manga also placed 8th in the top 10 manga for female readers in the 2012 edition of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook.

Shimaki launched the manga in Shogakukan's Cheese! magazine in 2009, and Shogakukan published the 9th compiled volume last month. The manga has more than 1 million copies in print.

The series will air on TBS on Thursday nights at 9:00 p.m.

BlazBlue, Arc System Works’ fast-paced 2D fighter franchise, looks like it will be getting an anime adaptation, according to fans who recently bought the second volume of the game’s light novel series.

According to Hachima, fans who were able to obtain a copy of the BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger’s second volume of the light novel series, which was released today, spotted the following message on the cover of the book:


“The giant project that will be dying the world in ‘Blue’ has commenced” and “Anime adaptation confirmed!”


It also reads that you can catch up on the latest information on their official website, but for now there’s no mention of the anime on the site.

We recently revealed a countdown that leads up to the Arc System Works Festival, in celebration of their 25th anniversary, which begins on May 19th. Perhaps we’ll be seeing more news regarding the anime adaptation at the event?


Arc System Works’ upcoming title, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma is also expected to be shown and played at the event.
