In the YouTube comments section
"I love the music that Yuki-san creates based on his unique worldview."
"Yes, I've been waiting."
I went to buy the album as soon as possible!
Many comments were immediately posted, such as:
This work will be released in 2025 as Yuki Kei leaves the agency LD&K, where she had been affiliated for eight years, and marks a new start for her.
Yuki says the following:
"Up until now, I have been singing about this world, but what exactly have I been singing to, and how?
This album is a compilation of those questions I ask myself, and of all the work I've done over the past eight years.
The tour "Hajimari Hajimari" will be held in support of this album starting in May.
The tour will be a special opportunity for Yuki Kei to look back on his musical career to date and step into a new future.
Yuki herself commented on this tour as follows:
"This tour may be the real final for me.
But I have a positive attitude and I'm looking forward to turning the first page of a new story.
We hope you will enjoy this rare opportunity to experience Kei Yuki's music and story.

Tokyo Psycho-Pass releases new song "Alola" and announces two-man live show with THE STARBEMS!
The craziest punk idol group, Tokyo Psycho-Pass, will release their 10th digital single, "Alola," on Tuesday, May 13th.
The lyrics and music were written by nao, drummer and vocalist of Kubifuri Dolls, for the second time.
"Alora" is named after the female name "Alora" which means "dreamer", and is a powerful rock song that is typical of the girls who live life in their own way. It is a song that is sure to get you singing along, saying "any color is fine" and highlighting the joy of music.
The music video will be released on Thursday, May 1st. This DIY music video was produced mainly by member Shiragozen and filmed on the members' own smartphones, condensing their experiences from when they first met to the present. Don't miss it!
Furthermore, on Friday, June 13th, a long-awaited two-man concert is scheduled to take place with THE STARBEMS, led by their close friend Hidaka Toru, who has written many of Tokyo Psycho-Pass' original songs.
Of course, Tokyo Psycho-Pass will also be performed with a band, making for a dream collaboration!
[Comment from Toru Hidaka]
I'm the type of band member who wants to wear the same clothes whenever possible, whether it's for a live performance or just for everyday use (my ideal artist is someone who wears what they want to wear, rather than having costumes prepared for them), so I think Tokyo Psycho-Pass is a true PUNX with a message, as they express their will and intent through their fashion, whether on stage or everyday, whether it's special or casual!
(Toru Hidaka/THE STARBEMS)
In 2023 they will make their global debut at an American festival, and in 2024 they will lose a member, so keep an eye on Tokyo Psycho-Pass as they get even more powerful!

Utsukubigokumon Doukoukai will be holding a Zepp tour in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka in the spring! They are also looking for band partners for the autumn tour!
Uchi-kubi-Gokumon-Doukoukai has announced that they will be holding a spring Zepp tour in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, and are looking for band partners for their nationwide tour starting in September.
This tour will consist of two parts, each with a different purpose.
https://uchikubi.site/2025/
The first of these is the "Finally, the Band Co-Op Mystery Tour 2025."
As part of the "Finally a Band Battle" series held in 2018,
There will be a two-man live show with an artist with whom they have never performed together before.
Furthermore, this time the opposing band will not be revealed until the day of the show, making it a mystery.
A single kanji character hint will be provided for each performance on the special website, so try and guess.
Advance ticket sales have also begun.
The second event was the announcement of a new venture called "Let's finally try playing together tour."
This tour is organised through a public call for bands and artists who wish to play alongside Utsukubigokumon Doukoukai.
Only the dates and venues have been announced, so bands and artists who have not previously performed together but are interested should check the application conditions and deadlines on the special website.
Ticket and other performance details will be announced once the local joint performances have been decided, so please wait for further information.

Natsuko Nisshoku will start digital pre-release of track 6 "leeway" 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 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 at 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.
─List of "leeway" distribution services─
https://orcd.co/leeway
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.

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.
A crystallization of resonating, polishing, and honed sounds. A new album that marks a new step in the 16th year. Natsuko Nisshoku's 5th full album "Ginka" jacket and details announced, new artist photo released!
Natsuko Nisshoku, a piano and vocal artist who celebrated her 15th anniversary last year, will release her fifth full album, Ginka, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Details of the album have now been announced, with the cover and new artist photos all revealed at once.
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.
Natsuko Nisshoku continues to make great strides without stopping. Please look forward to her future activities.
Pre-orders for the CD have started, so be sure to check it out.

<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.
