VOLA & THE ORIENTAL MACHINE is set to release its first full-length album on April 11, so says Bounce.com. The album includes the pre-release single, "Hane no Hikari", as well as other songs used as commercial background music. A remix of the track "Yume Shindan" by Hayashi of Polysics serves as a hidden track.

While Vola prepares to release its album, ZAZEN BOYS is losing its bassist, so Bounce.com says as well. Hinata Hidekazu, who also plays with Straightener and FULLARMOR, joins Nakamura Tatsuya (Blankey Jet City, LOSALIOS) and Tabu zombie (SOIL & "PIMP" Sessions) for a new project.
