Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai has announced the release of their new song "Hokkori News Daishuugou" ahead of their "Let's Finally Play Together Tour 2025" which starts on Monday, September 1st.

Additionally, new artist photos based on illustrations by the members and new merchandise for this tour have also been released.

The new song "Hokkori News Daishuugou" was released as a digital single on Saturday, August 30th, just a few hours after the announcement. It was created with the desire to "deliver more heartwarming and peaceful topics" in an age where grim information is prominent on social media these days, and it is a unique song that has delivered timely "heartwarming news" at live performances.

Furthermore, the album jacket features a collaboration with Inu Inu, the author of a childcare manga that is hugely popular on social media. A post of "Cho-chan singing Utsukubigokumon Doukoukai's 'I Don't Want to Get Out of Futon'" gained over 100,000 likes, creating a buzz and finally leading to an official collaboration.

The tour merchandise announced at the same time will also include collaboration items with Inu Inu. The T-shirts and towels feature scenes that became popular on social media, and are truly heartwarming. These items will go on sale at live venues and online stores from the first day of the tour on Monday, September 1st.

In addition, the new artist photo released this time features the latest member illustrations that have already received great support from fans through social media content and merchandise development. This is the first update in 1 year and 8 months since the previous artist photo, which was created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the group's formation in 2024.

With numerous announcements, Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai is in high spirits for the upcoming tour, and expectations are high for their performances across the country.

[About the song]
The song is full of humor and surprise, as the performance suddenly stops from the intense rock sound that is typical of Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai and switches to a part where "heartwarming news" is read out loud.

[Utsukubigokumon Club Profile]
Formed in 2004, this three-piece band features guitarist/vocalist Atsushi Osawa, drummer/vocalist Asuka Kawamoto, and bassist/vocalist Junko. Their unique style features a male guitarist, a female rhythm section, and a mixed vocal lineup with alternating male and female vocalists. Their musical sound, driven by a deep bass oriented seven-string guitar and five-string bass, contrasts sharply with their lyrics, which focus on everyday topics like food and health. Their unique approach has led them to describe their musical genre as "lifestyle-focused loud rock." They were also one of the first bands in the industry to use video jockeys to display lyrics during live performances, with the VJ functioning as an employee of their agency, further enhancing their unique style. Every element of their sound has solidified their position as a unique band.

Despite the band's name, their fan base is diverse, spanning men and women of all ages, and they have written songs for everything from sports drink commercials to anime theme songs and children's programs, and their collaborations with everyone from professional wrestlers to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries are limitless. They also continue to be active as a live band, having toured extensively, selling out the Nippon Budokan in 2018, and their 20th anniversary tour in 2024 was a huge success, drawing in 10,000 people for the final show. While they have become a regular at many of Japan's most famous festivals, they have recently begun to branch out overseas.
