Natsuko Nisshoku, a piano and vocal artist who celebrated her 15th anniversary last year, will release her fifth full album, Ginka, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Details of the album have now been announced, with the cover and new artist photos all revealed at once.

The CD contains 12 songs in total, 10 of which were fully arranged by the band and did not yet have titles, and were performed on the "Unreleased Songs Tour "Area Mirai"" held last year. The only one is "i", which departs from the band sound and was offered to Refeeld to make the track. The other is a nostalgic track titled "(an unknown crew)". All the songs that were represented by the alphabet have titles, and the days that we called the future have finally become a reality and are delivered to you.

The first limited edition will include a DVD and Blu-ray containing live footage from the June 21, 2024 performance at EX THEATER ROPPONGI from the "Unreleased Songs Tour "Area Mirai"," the prototype for "Ginka." The songs included in this work were previously announced at a live performance. We hope you enjoy listening to them and comparing them.

The jacket, which was also revealed, was created by illustrator Kawaguchi Takuya. The release, which has arrived at the present through "Area Mirai", is superimposed on the "silver phenomenon" that sparkles like the aurora, in this work "Ginka". The work is decorated with a stunning design that also incorporates elements of the release tour "Gyokuto "GYOKU-TO"".

In addition, new artist photos were released. Teaming up for the first time with photographer Yoshiharu Ota, the visual symbolizing Natsuko Nisshoku as she takes a new step in her 16th year has been unveiled.

Natsuko Nisshoku continues to make great strides without stopping. Please look forward to her future activities.
Pre-orders for the CD have started, so be sure to check it out.

<Natsuko Solar Eclipse Profile>
Born May 8, 1991 in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture.
Started playing the piano at the age of 9 and writing songs at the age of 12. From the age of 17, she started full-scale music activities based in Morioka as "Nisshoku Natsuko". The meticulously crafted lyric world and composition techniques that sway the heartstrings have attracted attention, and have appeared in many large festivals. Released in 2021, "Anti-Freeze" was selected as a prize-winning work at the 14th CD Shop Awards 2022, and in recent years he has also written many new movie theme songs and commercial music. Nisshoku Natsuko's dense music that she creates one after another knows no bounds in creativity, and her musical ability and performance, including her unique composition style that expresses guitar, bass, and sometimes even percussion parts such as drums with a single piano, are outstanding. It goes beyond the imagination and framework of a piano-playing artist. Strength, weakness, sharpness, ephemeralness, the piano music that runs at full speed pierces the listener's heart and provides a unique musical experience.
