B.O.L.T. is a unit formed under the Stardust Planet idol management unit of the Stardust Promotions agency. The unit was originally formed from the 3BJr pool of idols as the "King Records Unit," a group that was formed to pursue a major debut under King Records. The 5-member unit was eventually named Rock A Japonica and debuted under Evil Line Records, a division of King Records that is also home to Stardust's flagship idol unit, Momoiro Clover Z. The group released 5 formal singles and 1 album and was characterized by rotating centers for different songs and member associations with specific themes like school subjects or musical genres, as opposed to colors.

 

After the release of their 5th single Mugen in 2019, member Shiina Ruka decided to withdraw from the group after an extended hiatus for health reasons. Additionally, member and leader Uchiyama Ami announced her decision to also leave the group. The remaining three members, Naito Luna, Takai Chiho, and Hirase Misato, decided to continue pursuing their dreams as idols and worked on solo activities for a few months until reforming in July 2019 as B.O.L.T. with two new members, Aoyama Nanoha and Shirahama Aya. B.O.L.T. debuted at Evil Line Records 5th Anniversary Fest "Evil A Live" with the song "Ame ga Furu Machi," written for them by HAWAIIAN6 member Yasuno Yuta.

 

Their website is still under construction as of 2019-07-16, so the profiles are a combination of the old Rock A Japonica profiles and the Stardust Promotions agency profiles.Tentative official website is here.

I like them :D they're cute! :3

They're also a stardust group that isn't heavily colour coded? :o It seemed like the background had floating colours so I guess fans know what colour glowstick to get :P

 

Considering Lunpan as a favourite as she stands out a lot to me but it could change if I get to see them goofing around(like making of videos etc)

So far their performances haven't had very colorful audiences. They have an official penlight, but it seems to run more on a spectrum than with definitive color choices. 

 

Here are some live videos:

 

 

So far there hasn't been a ton of behind the scenes footage, partially because they're still very much a part of 3BJr and so they often include all of the members... which is a lot. Here's a Ustream for Ruttan's birthday, and you can probably spot most of the members to her right and behind.

Their songs are pretty cool :D Shame the performance video isn't such great quality, I seem to find more and more 'stream' quality videos of idols these days and it makes me pretty sad ;-; But I suppose the other option would probably be just less videos at all so oh wells. Thanks for the clips :3

New single song is "Dakedo Yume Miru," to be released in 6 versions: one with Ninja Nine and a Blu-ray, and the other 5 each with a different subject song b-side.

 

See some live previews here.

 

And they livestreamed on YouTube earlier, here's the archive. Mostly talking, but also an exercise challenge and punishment game for the loser.

They're releasing a new single to be sold at events only, Tambourine, Rinrin. Two versions, Hikari and Yume. Hikari comes with the B-side SPARKLE TOUR!!, and Yume comes with the B-side Dreaming Road. They will be selling it on their 4th tour, Revenge for 1000. They had a challenge last tour to build up audience enough to sell out Club Citta (approximately 1000 capacity), but they fell short. 

 

Covers and details here.

^ Watashi no Chizu is the lead song off of their first album, "Magical View," to be released November 15.

Two limited editions, one with a bonus blu-ray and one with a bonus CD, and one regular edition. 

 

That music video stresses me out.

I do sometimes. It's more a fear of falling than a fear of heights, and they're pushing it.
