Nextreme (stylised in all caps) is the sixth EP by Japanese electronicore band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas. It was released on 13 July 2011 through VAP.[1] The title Nextreme was formed from "next" and "extreme" (or "limit"), meaning that the band received the previous work and thrust their "next limit" into a mini album.[2] The EP made its debut at number 8 on the Oricon chart with 12,126 copies in its first week sales.[3] Nextreme won the CD Shop Awards for New Blood category in 2012.[4] The song "Jump Around" was selected to appear in the video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 as the fourth track, and "Chase the Light!" was used as the opening theme for the second season of the anime Kaiji.[5]
