Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano-playing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, has announced that she will release a 1000-piece limited single "Ongaku no Susume" on March 10, 2021 (Wednesday). Distribution will start on each music site from 0:00 on the same day.

Couplings include the full version of "Danzare", a tie-up song by Parsley Holdings Co., Ltd., and the new song "Mine", which is a melody sampled by Natsuko Nisshoku herself.
After the "△Sing better△Tour" tour final held at the beginning of last year, all activities became a blank slate. As of April 2020, the lyrics of "Ongaku no Susume", which had been written, were rewritten to respond to the "now".
With Mr. Satoshi Takebe as the arranger, the song finally completed captures the feeling of depression that spreads all at once, and sublimes into a simple and exhilarating statement of determination that Natsuko Nisshoku has arrived at.
Don't be swept away, don't cater, and just appeal straight.
I have high hopes for this song, which is presented as one of the guidelines, and I want to wait for further reports.

[Comment from Natsuko Solar Eclipse]
Summer 2019. When I performed at a certain large-scale festival, after my turn was over, I went to see Otori's live performance on the biggest stage. The stage was so wonderful that I was overwhelmed, and I thought that I would never forget this memory, so I went home from the festival that night. That is the chorus of "Ongaku no Susume".

It's been a year and a half since then. Now that the place where music belongs is completely limited, I feel that I was fortunate to be able to see that big bird stage. Now that everyone in the music industry is suffering from a stagnant market, when I calmly think about "Is music useful?" "It's not logic. There's no way I can let go. I love music, so even in this difficult situation, I have no choice but to cling to it with intuition. Sorry!" Everyone in the industry, I wished that they would be so upset.

Those who make music, those who sell it, those who bathe in it... Until the dawn that must come again for all musicians,
I just want you to keep dreaming, even if it's just an illusion. and for that
Now is the time to need a landmark like a single flag.
This work, "Encouragement of Music", will be proudly presented to the world as one flag.

I would like to once again thank the arranger Mr. Takebe, the recording members, and the staff for their efforts in splendidly dressing the original song in the midst of a difficult situation.
