Piano and vocal artist Nishoku Natsuko will release her first best album "Nishoku Natsuko 15th Anniversary BEST -Fly-by2024-" on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. The music video for "0821_a" (read: Zero Hachi Ni Ichi No A) (Disc 2/M11), the only new song among the 22 songs and 24 tracks included in the album, has been released.

"0821_a," the final track on the best album, is a tense number that combines sharp lyrics with a sound honed through repeated sessions with skilled musicians and band manners.
The music video was directed by Hiyotaro Hayashi, who is teaming up with the band for the first time, and features guitarist Yuki Numano, bassist Kazuhiro Nakamata, and drummer komaki, who all participated in the song's production.
The contrast between the outlined light and the pitch-black darkness is striking, and the dramatic progression of the song, the flickering light, the passionate band sound, and the solemn atmosphere that is reminiscent of another planet all accentuate the world of the lyrics and the song itself, making your heart pound. The dawn light projects a strong, ephemeral figure as he plays the piano, gazing into the distance. The entire video is sure to shake and stir the viewer's heart.

This is a must-see, must-listen music video that tells us about Natsuko Nisshoku's current whereabouts as she celebrates her 15th anniversary this year. Be sure to check it out.

─ Eclipse Natsuko "0821_a" Music Video ─

— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —
Now in my 15th year of activity, I've been thinking about the inevitable end of my music and my life, which will come at some point in the future.
The world will still exist after I am gone, and stars that do not yet exist will shine in the sky.
If we can expand the sky that exists today even just a little for these stars, then I believe that will be what it means to pass on the era to the next generation.

To the stars that have yet to be seen. This is a message from a certain star, currently tarnishes the bottom of the universe, but struggling to influence the world even if only a little.

In commemoration of the release of the best album, a panel exhibition will be held at Tower Records Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Morioka stores. The exhibition will include live photos from the unreleased song tour "Area Mirai," where the band performed only new songs with tentative titles that only contained letters, such as the song called "a," which was the predecessor to "0821_a," as well as notes on the set list, 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.
