Black Gene for the Next Scene - New Single + Jacket Competition

Some exciting news from Black Gene for the Next Scene today, and best of all, you can take part in it!

As announced on their OHP earlier in the month, they will be releasing their second maxi single, titled 「涙-kHz-」(Namida -kHz-). It will be released in five types. Types A and B will be CD+DVD with two songs, and C, D and E will all contain three songs. The date has been set for 2012.7.11, but prices have yet to be announced.

And best of all, they have announced a competition of sorts – you, the fan, have the chance to design the booklet! It is currently running and will end on 2012.5.10, and all submissions are to be emailed to jacket@blackgene.net. All designs must be 126 x 126 mm, at least 350dpi (dots per inch) and saved in .jpg format. The title of the email/letter must read “BFN CD ジャケット” (Jacket).
