Natsuko Nisshoku's digital single "Kemuri to Suisho" (Smoke and Crystal) will be released on Wednesday, April 8th!
A fleeting moment that dissolves like smoke, and an eternity that remains silent like crystal.
The song expresses the loneliness illuminated by the hazy spring light, set to a light melody.
Piano-playing singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku will be performing this spring.
They will release their new song "Smoke and Crystal" on Wednesday, April 8th.
"Like smoke that vanishes in the blink of an eye," "Like a crystal that shines for tens of thousands of years."
The hazy, fleeting, and ever-changing scenery that only the season of spring possesses.
The ambiguity of the heart, and the unwavering voice that lies dormant deep within, undeniably existing in the space between them.
The loneliness illuminated by a hazy light is sung to a light melody,
The dramatic song structure leaves a somewhat melancholic aftertaste, while announcing the arrival of spring.
In stark contrast to their previous full album, which explored new territory with a band sound,
This work showcases the creativity and expressive power of the solo artist.
With Gulliver Suzuki as arranger, and Hiroshi Kido on drums,
Gulliver Suzuki's contrabass, with its budding sound, warmly complements the music.
The album cover, which was also revealed, was self-produced.
The slightly glittering, sharp ore crystals and the smoke that drifts over them quietly expand the worldview.
This latest work depicts subtle fluctuations and shimmers, imbued with the spring-like scent characteristic of Natsuko Nisshoku's style.
Some stores have started pre-orders and registrations. Be sure to check them out and look forward to the new song!

─ Eclipse Natsuko comment ─
Spring is a season when many things change. Every year at this time, I feel restless and like I've been thrown into a gaping hole.
Within that void, I am once again acutely aware of my own wavering and uncertainties—a wavering nature that seems as if it could vanish at any moment like smoke, or as if it could exist forever like a crystal.
A time of year when the world vaguely shifts and changes, a season that is both empty and beautiful. I've taken the rambling complaints of someone who still dislikes spring, put them together a little, and will release them as a single for Spring 2026.

<Natsuko Solar Eclipse Profile>
Born May 8, 1991 in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture.
Natsuko Nisshoku began playing piano at age 9 and songwriting at age 12. At age 17, she started her full-fledged music career as "Natsuko Nisshoku," based in Morioka. Her meticulously crafted lyrics and songwriting skills, which deeply resonate with listeners, have garnered attention, leading to numerous appearances at major festivals. Her 3rd full album, "Anti-Freeze," was selected as a winning entry in the 14th CD Shop Awards, and in recent years she has also composed many original songs, including movie theme songs and commercial music. Natsuko Nisshoku's dense music, which she produces one after another, shows no bounds of creativity. Her unique songwriting style, which expresses parts of guitar, bass, and sometimes even percussion instruments like drums using only a piano, and her musical ability and performance, transcend the imagination and frameworks of piano-playing singer-songwriters. Her piano music, which encompasses strength, weakness, sharpness, and transience, pierces the hearts of listeners and offers a truly unique musical experience.

"Logma Rope"
The final of the Manzai top battle "M-1 Grand Prix 2023" was broadcast at the end of last year. Promotional video song The M-1 warriors fight for 4 minutes, sharpening the laughter they believe in even though they struggle and suffer, in order to make the whole of Japan laugh at someone in front of them. This year, 8,540 comedians, the largest number ever, entered the contest, and the songs were selected as songs that could reflect their personalities and give them a little boost.

"Pioneer"
Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya has long been a fan of Natsuko Solar Eclipse, but the following X post from last fall also became a hot topic.
- - - - - -
There are songs that miraculously express the way I live and what is important in my life.
Every time I listen to that song, I make time to look forward.
I'm still listening to it as I write this.
I want to be the person that this song suits me forever.
Pioneer of Natsuko Solar Eclipse.
This is the theme song of my life.

<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.

Nisshoku Natsuko releases STUDIO FILM of M2 "Dum bottom spring feat. Sobs" from new album "Hanayodo"!
Piano-playing artist Natsuko Nisshoku has released the STUDIO FILM of M2 "Dumbottom Spring feat. Sobs" from the 6th Mini Album "Hanayodo" released on April 5, 2023 (Wednesday).
Sobs, who featured in M2 "Dumb Bottom Spring feat. Sobs", is a three-piece indie pop band from Singapore led by the only female vocalist, Celine Autumn. This song is a song that makes you listen to the crossroads of life = the feelings of spring with a light sound arranged by Sobs. The recording was done remotely, and you can get a glimpse of the production scene in the STUDIO FILM released this time. The appearance of Natsuko singing in front of the scribbled music is fresh and has a lot of highlights. Please check it out.
— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —
The pop sound of Sobs rides on the sloppy lyrics,
I was able to create a song with an unprecedented exquisite brightness.
Together with the scenery of the production studio of both artists,
I would like to remember the bouquet that I submerged in the dam this spring.

Nisshoku Natsuko to release 7-inch analog board "Local Meha no Uta / Loco no Uta"!
Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano-singing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, has announced that she will release a 7-inch analog record "Local Meha no Uta / Loco no Uta" on October 5, 2022. Realized by DJ/music producer Tatsuo Sunaga's love call, this is his second analog work.
The A-side includes the 2017 clothing store real estate sales TV commercial tie-up song "Local Miha no Uta". A “local fanboy” is a town spot (store/place) or information that “locals know” even if it is not nationally famous, and that information is transmitted to the world through the media. People who are happy with this are called “local fanboys”. The song has been loved by fans with attractive lyrics that recall the "local fanboys" overflowing in the city. However, this time, the production of an analog board was realized with the enthusiastic offer of DJ / music producer Tatsuo Sunaga, who loves this song.
"Roko no Uta" recorded on side B is the ending theme of A side "Local Miha no Uta" from September 2021. A song written for the renewal of the program and the expansion of the broadcast frame. The sound is the same as "Local Miha no Uta", but the lyrics have been rewritten to the original version of the program, and the stories that have spread all over the country that the program has collected are gathered. Although it is on air for about 1 minute in the program, the full version will be recorded in this work. There is no CD release or distribution on music distribution services, and you can listen only on this analog board B side. Please check it out.

— Solar eclipse Natsuko comment —
We received a very happy request from Mr. Sunaga, and decided to make "Local Meha's Song" and "Locco's Song" into 7 inches and release them to the world! In the history of the solar eclipse, it will be the second analog board production following "I can't see it in the backlight". I am also grateful to President Otani for connecting me with a wonderful relationship.
— Comment from DJ/music producer Tatsuo Sunaga —
I'm really happy about this release, including the fact that the moment I heard it in the commercial, I immediately contacted the person in charge of the label I belonged to, "Do you have any plans to make it analog?" Thank you very much for making it come true.

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. In the winter of his second year of high school, he started full-scale artist activities in his hometown of Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. His powerful singing voice that directly touches people's heartstrings, his meticulously crafted world of lyrics, and his composing techniques have attracted attention, and he has performed at many large-scale festivals such as "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL" and "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL". The 3rd full album "Anti Freeze" released in 2021 was selected as a prize-winning work at the 14th CD Shop Awards 2022. He continues his activities based on his unique play style, which expresses instruments such as guitar and bass, and sometimes even percussion parts such as drums, with a single piano. In addition to playing the piano, he often performs in a simple form with only piano and drums at his live performances. It has been transformed into a premium, extraordinary space. Strength, weakness, sharpness, and ephemerality, the piano music that runs at full speed pierces the listener's heart and provides a unique musical experience.
