MEAN ANGEL by Goodbye Castle
Into a "Kowa -Kawaii” (scary-cute) cinematic world — a mysterious, dreamlike debut album woven with fantasy.
"MEAN ANGEL” is Goodbye Castle's debut album.
From the creative minds behind the film MEAN ANGEL successfully merges cinematic soundscape with art-pop and neoclassical textures into a bold, scary-cute aesthetic.
This project brings together artists from France, Poland and Japan.

Combine that with the renowned skills of multi-instrumentalist Shinichiro Sudo and the exciting voices of Erika Matsushita and her TORANOKO girl performers, then add lyrics and direction led by Yuria Matsushita with immersive sound design by Yuya Shito and the result is a stunning experience.
