Piano soloist Natsuko Nisshoku will release her fifth full album, Ginka, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. The sixth track, leeway, from the album, which contains 12 tracks, was released on Wednesday, April 2, ahead of the album's release.

The song "leeway" depicts a heart wavering between uncertainty and determination with a light-hearted rhythm and vibrant sound.
The song was first performed during the "Unreleased Songs Tour: Area Mirai" in early summer 2024. At the time, the song did not have a title because it was unreleased, and it was performed under the temporary name "e". With each tour, the song has gained more depth, becoming a song that gently pushes forward for all those who are struggling but continue to move forward without stopping.
I hope you will listen to this song as you experience the new scenery that each of you will encounter in the coming seasons.

The new album "Ginka" in which this song will be included will be released on Wednesday, May 14th. The first limited edition will include live footage from when "leeway" was still called "e". Be sure to check it out too.

─ Comments from Natsuko Nisshoku's "leeway" ─
Wind pressure, strong winds, unavoidable forces. I didn't want to fly, but I was pushed to take off, and now I'm just going to fly without affirming or denying the inevitable decision. This song depicts such a declaration of intent from the perspective of a small bird flying through a deep forest. In the midst of the anxiety and uncertainty of the new year, this song may be a push for some people.

<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.
