Japanese idol group Snow Man adds to the clamor surrounding their recent single release “Dangerholic” as they have revealed a new ‘Dance Practice’ version of the track.

Check out the slick choreography from the 9-member outfit as they perform a kinetic medley of intricate moves and bold steps accompanying the energetic pop/rock infused single.

Newly formed Japanese talent agency TOBE reaches an early milestone as its first group to debut, IMP., has released its first single and music video “CRUISIN”.

“CRUSIN” is available digitally worldwide. It’s an uptempo pop track with a bright instrumentation and funky guitar riff throughout. The official video matches the tone of the single perfectly with its assortment of colorful visuals, rapid transitions and intermittent scenes of the lively choreography by the 7-member group.
