This bandTo the people who have been with me for 20 years,Together with the people who share that moment with me,

The day of the performance is when everyone checks what kind of presents they have inside..

▼Naoki Miyahira (Gt)

A performance at Nippon Budokan that no one could have predicted.I've always admired it ever since I started playing guitar,Kariyushi 58 is a distant, unattainable dream.My Budokan isn't a place to perform, but rather a place to go and watch other people's live shows.That was

When the topic came up a few years ago,I couldn't tell if he was serious or joking, but secretly, something was ignited in my heart.I thought, "No way, that's impossible," or "If you're a man, you should do it!"I sometimes think that (lol).Personally, I had some wavering feelings before giving the go-ahead.I get scared by movements that are bigger than I can handle.

But now that I've decided to do it, I'm going into it with the determination to make it the craziest day ever.I'd like to see it.We still have a long way to go in our band career, and this day is by no means the finish line.This is not just a passing point, it's an incredibly significant day.To everyone who has discovered and loved Kariyushi 58's music,The members started out as high school classmates &To the team staff who have supported and kept the band going for so long, family and friends,I'm really looking forward to being able to celebrate the day with you all!!

Let's do "Kariyushi 58 at Nippon Budokan"!!

▼Hiroki Nakamura (Per)

Kariyushi 58's biggest venue ever, the Budokan, has been confirmed!And then six months later!

To be honest, it still doesn't feel real!

This will undoubtedly be an event I'll never forget! - Kariyushi 58In a way that is typical of an Okinawan,

I want to give it my all! I want to engrave these irreplaceable moments in my heart.Please come!

The title "Karikarikarika" is an Okinawan dialect word meaning "Now,"Rikka" means "Let's go" or "Let's go together," and the band name isA coined word combining "kariyushi" (a type of Japanese clothing).

The catchy chorus and memorable calls make you want to sing along!The song makes you want to go out somewhere just by listening to it.This song is full of excitement.

Another point of interest is that percussionist Hiroki Nakamura will be performing for the first time in his lifeI'm trying my hand at playing the sanshin (Okinawan stringed instrument).

As the song is colored by the distinctive sound of Kariyushi 58, who hail from Okinawa,Nakamura himself tried playing the sanshin (Okinawan three-stringed instrument) for the first time.It stands out as a particularly unique presence within the album.

Hiroki Nakamura developed focal dystonia.As a result, they took a break from activities for approximately four years starting in December 2015.He later made a comeback and is currently the percussionist for Kariyushi 58.They continue their activities.

This time, Nakamura tried playing the sanshin for the first time in his life.The following comments were made about the song.

<Comment from Hiroki Nakamura>

"This time, I had the opportunity to try playing the sanshin for the first time."I think it plays a somewhat unconventional role within the album.We're releasing it early because our summer isn't over yet!That's what I think.I hope you can feel the Okinawan atmosphere!

As an Okinawan, I really wanted to try playing the sanshin.My whole family is so happy!

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai Acoustic Team's compilation album "Dou Baka Kashou Shuu," a collection of songs summarizing over a decade of activity, will be released on September 5th (Saturday). It includes 6 songs dedicated to "Suiyou Dou Deshou."

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai Acoustic Team, a side project by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai's guitarist/vocalist Atsushi Osawa and drummer/vocalist Asuka Kawamoto, will release their compilation album "Dou Baka Kashou Shuu" on September 5th, 2026 (Saturday), which summarizes their activities over the past decade.

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai Acoustic Team was formed in 2014 after participating in the "Suiyou Dou Deshou Caravan." Due to the nature of the event, which uses the back of a truck as a stage, it was difficult to perform as a full band. Therefore, Osawa and Kawamoto, who were already fans of "Suiyou Dou Deshou," started out as a duo with acoustic guitar and cajon.

Since then, their activities have been limited to appearances on the "Suiyou Dou Deshou Caravan" a few days a year, and in stark contrast to the sound of Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai itself, they have been performing relaxed songs based on acoustic sounds.

The acoustic group's latest release, "How Do You Like Wednesday?", is a collection of six songs related to the show that they have performed live. Each song was created as a tribute to a specific "project" within the program, and the content will leave listeners unfamiliar with the show completely bewildered. It is a work that truly deserves to be called a collection of songs by "How Do You Like Wednesday?" fans for "How Do You Like Wednesday?" fans.

For the recording, Masamichi Ureshino, the director of "Suiyou Dou Deshou," made a guest appearance by recording his own "famous quotes." In addition, Sachi of Kuroiro Sumire, who has been working with them for many years on the "Suiyou Dou Deshou Caravan," participated on violin, and Takuya Miura of DEPAPEPE also provided equipment support for the acoustic guitar recording.

Furthermore, the back of the jacket and the booklet feature photographs taken during the long-running "Suiyou Dou Deshou Caravan" events, with the cooperation of HTB Hokkaido Television. The album is a work that allows listeners to feel not only the music but also the history of the acoustic team and the event.

The release date coincides with their appearance at the "Suiyou Dou Deshou Matsuri UNITE2026" on September 5th. The work will be released on CD and will also be available on various music streaming services. The CD will not be sold in general CD shops, but will only be available at live venues and the Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai online shop.

In addition, along with the release announcement, various goods—the first ever from Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai's acoustic band—were also announced. With "Suiyou Dou Deshou Matsuri UNITE 2026" just around the corner, this news will only add to the excitement for fans.

[Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai Acoustic Team Profile]

This is an acoustic unit formed by Atsushi Osawa (guitar/vocals) and Asuka Kawamoto (drums/vocals) of the band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai. It is a side project in which the two perform songs dedicated to the TV program "Suiyou Dou Deshou," which they both admire, and they rarely perform songs by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai.

Leaving everyone who doesn't know "Suiyō Dōdeshō" behind, they have continued their activities at a pace of a few times a year, and now they are releasing a sound source that compiles their activities over the past decade or so.
