The Full Length Cut of CHEMY×STORY is now out for Kamen Rider Gotchard fans to Hip Hop To

Just how two boy-band groups like BACK-On and FLOW got to gether is rather simple, and they got some words to say about the full length lrelease of their hit song, CHEMY×STORY.

CHEMY×STORY Back-on x FLOW coverThe theme song of Kamen Rider Gotchard is now available as a single, and the groups BACK-ON and FLOW could not be any happier. Fans can delight in hearing the feature length cut of CHEMY×STORY! This track replaces the previous version, which was used since September of last year, and this take is quite the update!

Although this latest entry of the Kamen Rider franchise is about sixteen episodes in, it’s safe to say Shout! Studios will eventually pick this up for release in international markets.

This song is available to stream at the following sites through this portal:

From the Press Release:

“The story in Gotchard is filled with twists and turns, and this seemed like the perfect timing to add a surprise twist to the opening theme song as well. We thought of this band as soon as this project first came along, and we wanted to go further than all the ‘Rider’ collaborations of the past, so we crashed through the boundaries to bring this track to life!” said the band BACK-ON.

When Trolls Band Together, What Can Musically or Chaotically Go Wrong?

Three films in, DreamWorks is out to milk Trolls Band Together for everything they can musically put out, and all I have to ask, when will they sing showtunes?

Trolls Band Together Movie PosterSpoiler Alert

New musical puns and even more tunes have been Troll-matized in DreamWorks latest. Unlike the last film where fans get to discover various subspecies exist, Trolls Band Together broadens the world so that fans can find just how diverse it is. That is, it’s not entirely populated by these tiny singing Muppets. There’s other species who also love breaking out into song.

Although the Mount Rageons are rather creepy looking, perhaps the character design was intentional. They are either modelled after Gumby or are related to a toy line I never played with. However, I can’t help but think that cackling doll from the movie Poltergeist was an influence! When two of them (conveniently a sibling pair named Velvet and Veneer, played by Amy Schumer and Andrew Rannells) have kidnapped Floyd, one of Branch’s brothers, just so they can steal his mojo, I thought this film is a retread of the original.
