Natsuko Nisshoku will start digital pre-release of track 6 "leeway" from her new album, which will be released on Wednesday, May 14th!

ピアノ弾き語りソロアーティストの日食なつこが、2025年5月14日(水)に5枚目となるフルアルバム『銀化』(ヨミ：ギンカ)をリリースする。全12トラックが収録される本作より、6曲目『leeway』(ヨミ：リーウェイ)がアルバムリリースに先駆け、4月2日(水)に先行配信がスタートした。

迷いと決意の狭間で揺れる心を、軽快なリズムと躍動するサウンドに乗せて描き出した楽曲『leeway』。
初披露されたのは2024年初夏開催の "未発表曲ツアー「エリア未来」"。当時は未発表のために曲名がなく、仮に「e」と呼んで演奏された。ツアーを重ねて楽曲はさらに奥行きを増し、葛藤しながらも足を止めずに進み続ける全ての人へ、背中をそっと押すような一曲に。
これからの季節、それぞれが迎える新しい景色の側でぜひこの曲を聴いてほしい。

本楽曲が収録されるニューアルバム『銀化』は5月14日(水)リリース。初回限定盤には『leeway』がまだ「e」だった頃のライブ映像が収録されているとのこと。こちらもぜひチェックしてみよう。

─ 日食なつこ『leeway』コメント ─
風圧、強い風、不可抗力。飛びたくもないのに煽られて飛び立たなければならなかった仕方無しの決断を、今はただ肯定も否定もせずに飛ぼう。そんな意思表示を、深い森を飛ぶ小さな鳥の目線で描いた曲です。新年度の不安と迷いのさなかで、人によっては背を押してくれる曲になる、のかも。

<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.

[Push-pull pot profile]
A four-piece rock band from Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
The members are vocalist and guitarist Yamaguchi Daiki, guitarist and chorusist Kuwahara Takuya, bassist and chorusist Horiuchi Kazunori, and drummer and chorusist Myojin Ryutaro.
It was formed in the university's light music club and became the current member in 2019.

In April 2021, STAY FREEEE!!!!!!!! released the first nationally distributed mini-album ``Bokura Mama de''.
In August 2023, the festival they sponsor, "Shoufuku Zessho FESTIVAL," will be held for the first time at Kanazawa EIGHT HALL.
In November 2024, they will release their 6th digital single "To You Who Live in the Present" and hold a tour at 18 locations nationwide, including Zepp Shinjuku.

The gentle yet powerful singing voice of vocalist and guitarist Yamaguchi, who also writes the lyrics and composes the music, and the band's passionate performances that touch the hearts of those in attendance have attracted a lot of attention, resulting in repeated entry restrictions at circuit festivals around the country.

Although based in Kanazawa, they perform over 100 live shows a year, and in 2024 they will appear at approximately 13 large festivals across the country, including "JAPAN JAM," "VIVA LA ROCK," and "SWEET LOVE SHOWER," steadily spreading their name across the country.

The CD contains 12 tracks in total, 10 of which were fully arranged by the band and did not yet have titles when they were performed on the "Unreleased Songs Tour "Area Mirai"" held last year. The only track is "i", which deviates from the band sound and was produced by Refeeld with an offer. The other track is a nostalgic track titled "(an unknown crew)". All of the songs represented by the alphabet have titles, and the days that we called the future have finally become a reality and are being delivered to you.

The first limited edition will include a DVD and Blu-ray containing live footage from the June 21, 2024 performance at EX THEATER ROPPONGI from the "Unreleased Songs Tour "Area Mirai"," the prototype for "Ginka." The songs included in this work were previously announced at a live performance. We hope you enjoy listening to them and comparing them.

The jacket, which was also revealed, was created by illustrator Kawaguchi Takuya. The release, which has arrived at the present through "Area Mirai", is superimposed on the "silver phenomenon" that sparkles like the aurora, in this work "Ginka". The work is decorated with a stunning design that also incorporates elements of the release tour "Gyokuto "GYOKU-TO"".

In addition, new artist photos were released. Teaming up for the first time with photographer Yoshiharu Ota, the visual symbolizing Natsuko Nisshoku as she takes a new step in her 16th year has been unveiled.

-Gagaga SP Comment-
Kozak Maeda (singer)
"There have been a lot of things going on at the moment, but this song conveys the message of staying positive in times like these!"

Satoshi Yamamoto (guitarist)
"The two members of The Batteries listened carefully to this song and sang it.
It's the same group groove from the beginning! Everyone, please enjoy the music along with the video!"

Satoshi Tajima (drummer)
"Thanks to the two members of Batteries, we were able to create a wonderful piece! The lyrics are straightforward, and I hope it will reach a lot of people!"

-Batteries' Comments-
Ace
"I was happy to meet Gagaga SP for the first time, who uses the song "Chokkyuu Shobu no Otoko" for the intro.
The lyrics are great and even I can understand them easily, they really hit home.
The lyrics are mostly what I think, so I'd like it to become like a theme song for us.
I will never change my intro from "Straightforward Man," and if I were to change it, it would be "Que Sera Sera" (laughs)."

Temple
"From the first time I heard it, I knew Ace would be a good fit.
I was so nervous to meet Gagaga SP, who I used to sing and listen to at karaoke with my friends in high school.
I finished the recording feeling light-hearted, haha."

When the members heard that the Batteries were using Gagaga SP's "Chokkyuu Shobu no Otoko" as their introductory music,
We all cheered for them when they participated in last year's M-1.
We hope that this song, which marks the first time the two groups have teamed up, will reach many people along with this product.

Push Pull Pot announces the holding of their hometown festival "Shoufuku Zessho FESTIVAL 2025" in Kanazawa

Push Pull Pot, a four-piece rock band from Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, announced at the finale of their 2024-2025 TOUR "Someday, Before the End Comes" in their hometown of Kanazawa that they will be hosting their own festival, "Shoufuku Zessho FESTIVAL 2025," at Kanazawa EIGHT HALL on August 9th (Sat) and 10th (Sun).

Last year, the event was a huge success, featuring eight bands including ammo, ALStake, Maki, and THE BOYS&GIRLS, and will be held again this year for two days at Kanazawa EIGHT HALL.
The "Shoufuku Zessho FESTIVAL" created by Push Pull Pot will further liven up Kanazawa, where the band is based.
The guest band will be announced at a later date. The first advance ticket sale (lottery) is open until 23:59 on Monday, February 24th.

In addition, it has been announced that the hugely successful solo concert at Zepp Shinjuku on Friday, February 7th will be broadcast as a 60-minute special program on Space Shower TV.
The program will be simultaneously broadcast on the video distribution service "Special On Demand," making it possible to watch it on smartphones and computers.

For more information, check the band's official website.

- Comment from Gt.Vo Yamaguchi -

The Shofuku Zessho Festival will be held again this year!
I'm sure there are many fans and bands who have never been to Ishikawa Prefecture. Our friends are so cool.
Please come and see it.
I think it will take some time, but it will become a festival that represents Ishikawa Prefecture.
