Peanuts-kun unleashes hard trap single ‘Squeeze’ pre-album drop

Peanuts-kun (ピーナッツくん) hits hard with his gritty new single, ‘Squeeze’, in the run up to his new album ‘BloodBagBrainBomb’.

This track, premiered at ‘POP YOURS 2024’, Japan’s largest hip-hop festival, has quickly become one of his most talked-about releases. Despite his peanut Vtuber persona, ‘Squeeze’ cuts deep with its raw and introspective lyrics that critique societal pressures, financial exploitation, and the hypocrisy of fame while championing independence and resilience in the face of adversity.

Teaming up with industry familiars, Peanuts-kun’s bass-heavy trap track was brought to life by producer nerdwitchkomugichan (Age Factory / AFJB), with the music video directed by manic visionary Koide Shunpei (Vampillia / VMO). Visuals and logo design were handled by TV veteran nabekatsu (Tsuribu Tokyo).

Simultaneously with the single release, Peanuts-kun has released the tracklist for his upcoming 4th full album, ‘BloodBagBrainBomb’, slated for release on June 14th. The album features collaborations with a lineup of fellow Vtubers and IRL artists, including Tsukino Mito, lilbesh ramko & hirihiri, alongside a cadre of producers such as YagiHighleg, Automatic (Yurufuwa Gang), and Peanuts-kun himself.

In celebration of the album’s launch, Peanuts-kun will hit the road for his 4-date ‘BloodBagBrainBomb Tour’. Kicking off at Tokyo’s Zepp Haneda on July 2nd, the tour will make stops in Nagoya and Fukuoka before concluding in Osaka on July 16th.
