New Featured Artist: KINEMA106

Dive into a crowd of Kantai Collection-inspired tracks created by KINEMA106, our newest Featured Artist!

KINEMA106 is a powerhouse in the doujin sphere. Throughout the last 6 years, they've earned a valuable reputation for creating extremely catchy J-rock songs accompanied by beautifully illustrated anime-style music videos. While most of their early works drew inspiration from the KanColle franchise, they've recently been expanding to other franchises like Fate/Grand Order and even fully original content!

We're in for a big one this time. 37 top-notch songs have been prepped for your eager mapping fingers and are available on KINEMA106's Featured Artist listing!

It should come as no surprise that KINEMA106 is popular among circle clickers. This brand of J-rock is essentially in our blood at this point, so we've organized a ton of maps for you to explore (most of which come from the swell folks over at the Mappers' Guild).

The weekend is over, but December is just beginning! We've got something very special in store for the end of the year, so stick to the edge of your seat and watch over the @osugame Twitter for eventual news on that. Until then, we'll be continuing full force with our usual twice-a-week artist announcements!

See you Wednesday!
