Otoboke Beaver return with a new album Super Champon. It follows the critically revered Itekoma Hits of 2019. Champon is a Japanese noun meaning a mixture or jumble of things of different type. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Ippei Suda in between lockdowns at Osaka’s legendary LM Studio. Releasing worldwide by Damnably Records on 6 May 2022.

“Next album is a mixture of songs from love to food, life and JASRAC. Our music is genreless and has various elements. We hope that it will be our masterpiece of chaos music. It also sounds like champion.”

Across 18 songs, chief singer-songwriter Acco expands the band’s possibilities and pushes their musical skills to the limit. Acco has remarked previously that she is more influenced by ‘manzai’, a traditional style of comedy in Japanese culture comparable to double act comedy or stand-up comedy exemplified by its use of slang puns and wordplay, speedy back-and-forth dialogue and impeccable timing in delivering a punchline, characteristics of which Otoboke Beaver’s music shares in droves.
