Piano soloist Natsuko Nisshoku will release her fifth full album, Ginka (reading: Ginka), on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. The album will contain 12 tracks, and the eighth track, i (reading: Ai), was released on Wednesday, April 23 ahead of the release.

A comfortable sense of resignation and a faintly burning ember in the heart. With Refeeld as the trackmaker, this song is addictive with its rhythmic yet melancholic vocals on a lo-fi track. Only "i" on this album is separate from the band sound, and the nostalgia that seeps out from the emotional melody quietly stirs the listener's heart. Its presence will also be felt prominently among the songs composed by the band.

In addition, "i" will not be performed at the "Unreleased Songs Tour "Area Mirai"" to be held in early summer 2024, where the other songs were debuted, and will be released for the first time with this advance download release. Be sure to check out Natsuko Eclipse's latest song.

─ Comments from Natsuko Eclipse "i" ─
This song sits in a slightly different place from the band sound of the Eclipse CREW, which is symbolic of "Ginka". I borrowed the lo-fi sound of Refeeld, a track maker I've been listening to for a long time, to add a deeper sadness to the plain and somewhat monologue-like melody. I was more like you in the past than you are now... This is the monologue of someone who swallowed the feeling of wanting to say this and turned to the side of simply watching over you.

<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.
