Utsukubigokumon Doukoukai has publicly recruited band partners for the "Finally Let's Play Together Tour 2025" and has announced all the bands they will play together! In addition, the final one-man show has been decided!
Utsukubigokumon Doukoukai has announced details of all the performances for the "Let's Finally Play Together Tour 2025" which will be held from September, and in conjunction with this, advance ticket lottery applications for each performance have also begun.
This tour is a new project by Uchi-kubi-Gokumon-Doukoukai, in which they widely solicited artists to perform with, with the aim of "making new encounters with artists they have not previously performed with."
Up until now, the bands themselves have offered to perform with people they want to play with, but this time they have taken the opposite approach and asked artists who want to play with Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai to come forward. Applications were accepted from April 1, 2025, and many applications were received from all over the country.
As a result, a diverse lineup that would not normally be seen in regular bookings was realized in each location, including jazz, metal, visual kei, idols, and even animal bands. This will be a tour that is typical of Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai, where you can enjoy the "chaos of a live house" that transcends musical genres.
Furthermore, the tour final show on Friday, December 5th (Zepp Haneda) will be a solo concert. This year, the band has been performing many "first-time joint performances," so don't miss this stable concert in their "most familiar format" as the final show of the tour.

Digitally distributed single "WAZA"
[Utsukubigokumon Club Profile]
Formed in 2004. A three-piece band consisting of Atsushi Osawa (guitar/vocals), Asuka Kawamoto (drums/vocals), and Junko (bass/vocals). A rare style with a male guitarist, a female rhythm section, and a mixed vocals with both male and female vocalists taking turns singing. Musically, the sound is deep bass-oriented with 7-string guitars and 5-string basses, but the lyrics are full of everyday topics about food and health, creating a huge gap. Due to their unique stance, they call their music genre "loud rock that is close to everyday life." They were also one of the first in the industry to use VJs to display lyrics during live performances, and the VJs on stage are handled by employees of their agency, which is also an unusual arrangement that enhances their unique style. They have firmly established their position as a unique band in every aspect. Despite the band name, their fan base is wide, ranging from men and women of all ages, and they have provided 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. They continue to be active as a live band, and after numerous tours, they sold out the Nippon Budokan in 2018, and their 20th anniversary tour in 2024 was a huge success, attracting 10,000 people to the final show. They have become well-known as a regular band at famous festivals in Japan, and recently they have begun to expand overseas.

Natsuko Nisshoku releases the Music Video for "Flash Bomb and Halation" from her new album, which will be released on Wednesday, May 14th!
Piano soloist Natsuko Nisshoku will release her fifth full album, Ginka, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. The album will contain 12 tracks, and she has released the Music Video for the lead track, M1, Senkodan to Halation.
─ Natsuko Eclipse 'Flash Bomb and Halation' Music Video ─
https://youtu.be/PtMdQXOUQeA
The new album marks a new step forward for the band in their 16th year of activity. The lead track on the album is "Flash Bomb and Halation."
The sound is provided by the band members Yuki Numano (Gt), Kazuhiro Nakamata (Ba), komaki (Dr) and others of the Nisshoku CREW, who ran through the 15th anniversary project "Space Friendship" together, and the thrilling performance that literally emits a dazzling light stirs up excitement. This song is a symbol of the album, vividly depicting the protagonist who is boiling with impatience and sprinting with fighting spirit.
The music video was directed by Yuka Ueda, with whom she has worked many times before. The video is shot with a blindingly intense light, a driving piano music, and meticulous shots that accompany the powerful lyrics, capturing the intense passion hidden in the calm eyes of the singer.
The studio live broadcast held in 2024 and the unreleased song tour "Area Mirai" that formed the prototype of this work "Ginka". Natsuko Nisshoku's latest song has finally been released more than a year after it was first released. Please check it out.
─ Eclipse Natsuko comment ─
How long will I have to keep running and being chased?
How long do I have to live with this murderous aura?
I question the value of this life, which has missed its chance to become a flower that will heal a loved one.
If these feelings are to be spat out in frustration, I hope that they will at least scatter and shine as light.

<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.

[Utsukubigokumon Club Profile]
Formed in 2004. A three-piece band consisting of Atsushi Osawa (guitar/vocals), Asuka Kawamoto (drums/vocals), and junko (bass/vocals). A rare style with a male guitarist, a female rhythm section, and a mixed vocal ensemble with male and female vocalists taking turns singing. Musically, the sound is deep bass-oriented with 7-string guitars and 5-string basses, but the lyrics are full of everyday topics about food and health, creating a huge gap. Due to their unique stance, they call their music genre "loud rock for everyday life." They were also one of the first in the industry to use a VJ to display lyrics during live performances, and the VJ role is handled by an employee of their agency, which is also an unusual arrangement that enhances their unique style. They have firmly established their position as a unique band in every aspect.
Despite the band's name, their fan base is wide, with people of all ages and genders, and they have written songs for everything from sports drink commercials to anime theme songs and children's programs, and they have collaborated with everything from professional wrestlers to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, so they know exactly what they want. They are also very active as a live band, having toured numerous times and sold out the Nippon Budokan in 2018, and their 20th anniversary tour in 2024 was a huge success, attracting 10,000 people to the final show. They have become well-known as a regular band at famous festivals in Japan, and recently they have begun to expand overseas.
