Japan's Otaku Idols Dempagumi.inc to Release First International Album and Perform at HYPER JAPAN at The O2 This Weekend
"An explosion of joy and creativity” – MTV Iggy
Japan's alternative idol group Dempagumi.inc. has confirmed the international release of their album W.W.D.D. through London's JPU Records, following their first UK performances at HYPER JAPAN at The O2 on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July 2015.
Described as “pop… played at hardcore punk speed” by Complete Music Update and “an insane mish-mash of styles… an explosion of joy and creativity” by MTV Iggy. Dempagumi.inc. are already turning heads overseas, and now the otaku superstars break out of Tokyo's Akihabara district to bring their music to an international audience for the first time.
When originally released, W.W.D.D. reached number three in Japan's Oricon Album Charts, where the six all-girl unit has held huge headline arena shows, including the Nippon Budokan, National Yoyogi Stadium's First Gymnasium, as well as appearances at Japan's major rock festivals, despite their pop aesthetics.
A number of tracks on the album have been written by prominent figures in the Japanese rock industry, including Tamaya 2060% of punk group Wienners, NAOTO from popular hip-hop rock act ORANGE RANGE, and anime theme composer and video game music remixer Ken'ichi Maeyamada amongst many more.
W.W.D.D. on CD will include a 28-page full colour photo and lyric booklet and will be available first at HYPER JAPAN, ahead of its official retail release from 7 August 2015. Digitally, the album is out now on iTunes and will be made available from other digital download and streaming services shortly.
