j-Pad Girls’ concept is to present all of their songs in ‘Zenbu Jibun’ version, which literally means ‘all by myself’ that all the sounds and videos are created by the artists themselves. Their goal is to keep the series of releases going until they reach 100 artists. Currently, they are already preparing for the second series of releases by 4 artists.
Mizuki Yamashita’s recording and video clip unfortunately did not make it on time for the first series of releases due to poor health conditions, but her release will be made along with the artists of the second series.
