QUEEN BEE released their industry-shaking album Ten in May last year, which shot to number one on iTunes in Japan and peaked at 4th place on Oricon's weekly charts. Their success didn't end there however, as tickets to all of their live shows in promotion of the record sold out. It hasn't even been a year yet, and QUEEN BEE are set to release yet another new album, BL, on February 19.
The album will be released in several different versions. There will be two limited pressing editions, lily and rose, each with their own design concept and each coming with a gorgeous 88 page visual book. There will also be regular edition copies with just the CD. The limited pressing editions feature photos of the members wearing different makeup and outfits in line with the respective lily and rose themes. Both visual books will each also contain entirely different photos. The CDs of all three versions will contain 8 brand new songs, and in line with each edition's different concepts, the track list will be in different orders too. Additionally, regular edition copies also contain instrumental versions of all 8 tracks. The album also includes QUEEN BEE's new song BL which features as the opening theme for the Japanese drama series Juu no Himitsu ("10 Secrets") starring Osamu Mukai. The title and lead track for the new album, BL will be released digitally at midnight in Japan tonight (January 28). Pre-orders for the full album are also now open on iTunes in Japan. Tickets are now on sale for QUEEN BEE's two concerts entitled "Ten −Introduction−" taking place at Mahukari Event Hall on April 4 and 5. Information
