We're only a few weeks away from something I've been waiting for: a live-streamed Macross Frontier concert. As we rapidly approach the Macross franchise's 40th anniversary, this seems like a fitting event to have.  I expect even bigger and better things the closer we get to that milestone.

During the PlayStation Showcase, Gearbox revealed an awesome headbanging trailer for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands that features the song "Gimme Chocolate!!" by BABYMETAL.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands appears to be a standalone spinoff from the main Borderlands series. Instead of the post-apocalyptic wastelands on other planets, players will be a part of Tiny Tina's chaotic tabletop gaming session in a fantasy setting featuring magic and guns.

Utada Hikaru's "One Last Kiss" music video is now available online coinciding with the theatrical release of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.
Utada revealed on her Twitter account that she wrote the song which is used as the main theme for the movie, after reading through the film's final script.

According to the music video's description on Youtube, the video itself was directed by the film's director, Hideaki Anno. Due to the worldwide pandemic, Anno gave general instructions by email such as taking selfie-like videos around Utada's present home in London. Anno himself then edited and assembled the final video.

The song has also been released physically as a CD featuring Shinji on the cover and as a limited edition vinyl featuring Rei. The official website revealed that due to the huge demand from overseas, they will also be releasing an international version of the vinyl that will feature Asuka on the cover later this year in the summer.

Whenever people ask for Japanese music recommendations there's one band I always recommend: Lovebites. They're an all-female band formed in 2016 and they play a blistering brand of power metal that has gained them attention around the world.
