Japan's unconventional singer-songwriter Ena Fujita takes off with the release of debut album Iromono, out now for digital download and streaming from JPU Records. Get it by clicking here.

The multi-talented rising star – who also writes her own material – is also a gravure idol, a Japanese horror movie actress and an MC under the moniker MC BIKINI, has already started gaining attention in Japan and overseas, and her latest single from Iromono is no exception. Entitled "Tsuki ga Tabeteshimatta", the YouTube video has close to two million plays and sees Ena Fujita as a kick-ass heroine, punching zombie-nuns in the face.

Album track "Cho DIE" is also the ending theme to Japanese TV series Arita Generation. Its shocking music video was released ahead of the album this month, and sees Fujita taking down her adversaries while on stage in her battle uniform; a bikini and a pistol.

Feisty Fujita can also be found causing all kinds of chaos in Japan in the video to album track "Ienai Koto wa Uta no Naka". The track is also the theme to upcoming, ultra-violent flick WELCOME TO JAPAN from Tokyo Gore Police director Yoshihiro Nishimura. The film features Fujita as a fascist punk who slowly learns that bashing foreigners is wrong when she realises her favourite foods originate overseas. The movie is due for release later this year.

BIKINI RIOT is the first album to be released overseas on CD from Japan's number one singer-song-writing-gravure-idol, Ena Fujita.

The MISS iD 2017 winner unleashed her cursed EP EVIL IDOL SONG earlier this year, with the titular track being the theme song for a horror movie of the same name, about a demonic songstress (also played by Ena Fujita) who pens a song so powerful that it makes the listener's brains explode upon listening.

BIKINI RIOT sees Ena Fujita once again delve into Japan's extreme horror genre with album track "Watashi dake ga Inai Sekai" being used as the theme to ABCs of Death 2 director Souichi Umezawa's latest blood filled flick Chi wo Suu Nendo, internationally known as VAMPIRE CLAY.

To celebrate the tie-in, Ena Fujita's music video to the song imitates the film’s plot. Instead of creepy plasticine demons coming to life and devouring the locals of a rural art school, the music video sees Ena creating a self-sculpture which comes to life one night, murders the singer, and then crafts a guitar from her insides using art tools.

Album opener "404 Not Found" is an optimistic, happy blast of guitar-pop with a music video featuring bunny-people, marshmellows and a vacuum packed Ena Fujita.

The album also features her rapping alter ego MC BIKINI, a name she uses when hosting and performing at a number of underground rap battles and events across Tokyo. The track, entitled BIKINI RIOT, sees Ena put down the guitar in exchange for electronic beats. The shortened music video sees Ena and her bikini squad running around Tokyo armed with pistols and lollipops.
