UPDATE 1: The album's title 裸人 (romanized as: Rabito) literally means "naked people" and as you probably noticed, it sounds very similar to the bands' name. Isn't it clever? Many thanks to すんすけ for this information :)

UPDATE 2: Listen to Nikki!

UPDATE 3: Covers and a promo picture

UPDATE 4: Rabbit's official website, Twitter and Facebook

What do you think about all this Rabbit project and Ai Otsuka in it? Honestly, I was very surprised to hear about it, but I'm looking forward to hear their songs! ;) I wonder what the album's general theme will be about - I'm sensing something... really peculiar :D

Also... what do you think about the band's logo? I can't even... :D

The title of Rabbit's upcoming album is 裸人(Rabito). The meaning is literally a naked humam. 裸人's way of pronunce is close to the sound "rabbit", just so you know :)
