Back in February, it was revealed that LADYBABY had been reformed as a four-member girl group. Joining original member Rie Kaneko are Fuka Karasawa, Nana Ikeda and Emiri Arima. Now they have released the music video for their first single, Hoshi no Nai Sora (Starless Sky).

Looking to distance themselves from the somewhat gaudy Nippon manju iteration, the music video is directed by Mami Yamabe and presents a more serious group clad in gothic attire. Seen performing the catchy pop track, it is Arima’s death growls that give it a distinctive edge.

Hoshi no Nai Sora is released in Japan on 30 May 2018, which also includes the track bite me and off vocal versions of the two.

The regular edition also includes the track Biri-Biri Money (feat.Ladybeard), while the limited edition includes a DVD of the music video for Hoshi no Nai Sora and making of.
