BB/B

Idol group Aquarium and Clematis, whose activities revolve around the three pillars of life, live performances, and journey, has finally released their 4th EP BB/B on streaming platforms-about half a year after its physical release.

For each EP, "Aquarium and Clematis"("Suisou to Clematis") works with a different artist as the composer and producer. This time, all songs on BB/B were created by the Yokosuka-based alternative rock band Fallsheeps. The tracklist includes three songs: a Aquarium and Clematis cover of Fallsheeps' "Second Hand" ("Byōshin"), and two originals- "Blue and Lead" ("Ao to Namari") and "Blurred Vision"-both inspired by the city of Yokosuka and its sea.

These songs were written at a turning point in the group's lineup, with different members participating in the vocals for each track. The subtle yet definite dividing mark of "/" in the title resonates with the sense of "parting" that runs through Fallsheeps' musical world.

The EP's cover art features oil paintings created by all nine members themselves, each interpreting in their own way the shade of "blue" they felt from the three songs. True to that, BB/B is an ocean of blue-of blending, and of parting.
