[Machine Translation] MOP of HEAD's first new album in a year is the first VOCAL MINI ALBUM with featured vocals on all songs. Wannadie, which was released in December of last year, features vocals from LEO IMAI, MOP of HEAD's allies Yoji Kobayashi (Large House Satisfaction), Ryuta Shibuya (SUPER BEAVER), and Kanazawa underground hero YOCO ORGAN, and the lead track "Do It" features vocals from UCARY & THE Do It", which is also the lead track, is an ambitious work featuring UCARY & THE VALENTINE. MOP of HEAD, who made a complete comeback with Vitalize last year, has created a new work that demonstrates their new appeal and ability. The lead track, "Do It," features UCARY & THE VALENTINE and is a pop tune with a sense of ennui that only MOP of HEAD can deliver. <profile>MOP of HEAD has grown up as an artist who expresses dance music such as breakbeats, dubstep, drum'n'bass, and house in a band style. They have been featured in Tower Records' very popular campaign ("Dancing Rock") and have performed at various festivals such as ( FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ) ( SYNCHRONICITY ) ( COUNTDOWN JAPAN ) while attracting attention from the dance-rock scene.

In July 2016, they released "and Touch You" with GUEST VOCAL for all songs, completely destroying the impression of MOP of HEAD up to now and impressing MOP of HEAD as a new style.
