Gagaga SP latest single limited release & Kozak Maeda solo album release for the first time in 17 years!
Gagaga SP latest single limited release & Kozak Maeda solo album release for the first time in 17 years!
Gagaga SP, a youth punk band representing Kobe. Towards the 25th anniversary of the formation on December 08, 2022 (Wednesday), we have announced a memorial project that we will aim for over a whole year.
As the first step, the release of the limited-edition single "Kore de Iinoda" was announced. It is an important song for them as they head towards the anniversary as an anthem to inspire them to the band's 25th anniversary.
In addition, as the second memorial project, we announced the release of a mini album under the solo name of Gagaga SP singer Kozak Maeda. It will be his first solo work in 17 years since the 2004 solo album "Higashisuma wa 6 o'clock in the evening".
Satoshi Yamamoto (Gagaga SP guitar player), who knows Kozak Maeda the best, fully cooperates as a sound producer in the part where his charm as a singer, who is over 40 years old, stands out and further expands his own interpretation and unique expression.
A work full of musical desire that pursues musicality that is a little different from Gagaga SP. In addition, Kozak Maeda is one of the fan must-buys in which a reliable musician participated in the production of music.

Fukuoka alternative pop band NYAI's new song "Maboroshi" will be released on August 7th! At the same time, the MV will be released at 21:00 on the same day!
NYAI is a 5-piece alternative pop band that spreads the next wave to Japan and the world, based in Fukuoka, the mecca of music that has produced numerous historical rock and pop stars.
2nd full album "HAO" (completely self-produced board), which was selected as Tower Records [Taware Recommendation] in July 2019 and won the CD Shop Award 2020 Kyushu Block Award, 3rd full album released on November 18, 2020 NYAI's long-awaited new single "Maboroshi", which has released a series of masterpiece albums in recent years with "Head of triangle" (LD&K's first release), will be released on August 7, 2021.
At the same time, at 21:00 on the same day, the music video directed, filmed and edited by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter takuchan will be released. It is a must-see music video for fans who enjoy the realistic characters of each member that emerges from the fake.
NYAI "Maboroshi" (Official Music Video)
https://youtu.be/Qe4an_JY-jI
NYAI “Maboroshi” distribution link
https://orcd.co/nyai
The "song music" spun by takuchan, who handles vocals, guitar, and all songwriting, is always delicate and emotional. It could be described as normal passion. There are differences in tempo, rhythm and guitar distortion, but his core is always unwavering.
In addition, a song that I would like to call a masterpiece has been added as a new representative song. The title is "Maboroshi". For many songwriters and bands, phantoms, phantoms, and visions are major themes in songwriting and sound-making, but the ``phantoms'' that takuchan and NYAI sound are some of the feelings I have received from the many phantom songs I have listened to. different from any of In my opinion, the "illusion" for them is not a slightly mysterious illusion that rises in the real world, but the emotions that arose after a certain conversation yesterday, and the "always" that they saw for a moment at that time. I think that it might be the world. takuchan's "Heavenetsu no Gekijō" sings the "illusion" called "reality" that continues to appear, such as daily emotions and the scenery that accompanies them, on top of the dazzling and beautiful guitar distortion and melody that overlaps over and over again. It may be one of the pleasures hidden in this sound source to distort it into a bitter and sweet symphony. Please enjoy the guitar sweet symphony song "Maboroshi" that NYAI has newly appeared in this world.
NYAI is a 5-piece alternative pop band based in Fukuoka. The members are takuchan (vo,gt,song writing), ABE (vo,key), Shuhei Tanigawa (ba), showhey (gt), Ayano Intiraymi (dr).
NYAI is a 5-piece alternative pop band that has been doing so-called DIY activities at their own pace, producing independent sound sources including artwork (including CD jackets and MVs, produced by vo/gt's takuchan) that make use of their own sense in their hometown of Fukuoka. While continuing the DIY spirit, he joined the music office LD&K from January 2020 in order to pursue new expansion. From the early stages, he captivated local high-sense individual eventers and media personnel with a pop and alternative guitar rock sound that can be understood by those who know. With roots in alternative bands/units/artists from the UK/US/Japan that frequently occurred from the end of the 80's to the 90's, they are part of the trend of new Japanese band pops after 2020 with their own sense of Japanese. I have a feeling that it will form.
1st full album "OLD AGE SYSTEMATIC" (independent production board) in September 2016, 2nd full album "HAO" in July 2019 (independent production board/July Tower Records [Tower Recommendation]/CD Shop Award 2020 Kyushu Block Award ) was released for nationwide distribution. While living in Fukuoka, love calls are increasing day by day, such as live events / circuits in various places, guests of tour bands, etc. In addition, the radio “SPITZ Masamune Kusano’s Rock Continent Manyuuki”, the SPITZ fan club newsletter “Spitzbergen”, the music site “REAL SOUND”, and the November 2019 issue of “POPEYE” (Special feature: Music I want to listen to now! What is it?), but it was introduced in color 1P (a comic-style live report by manga artist Naokaku Shibuya), and its presence is gradually increasing nationwide. When the 1st analog single "Pomason/tape drug" (20.1.22 release) was released, it was also broadcast and exposed on major radio stations mainly in Fukuoka. Appeared in the advance NEW COMER corner “Come music”! Furthermore, in April, they released the 2nd analog single (20.4.22 release) containing the new mix versions of the popular songs "Yumeshibai" and "Chinese daughter" included in the 2nd full album "HAO".
In November 2020, the 3rd full album "Head of triangle" (20.11.18 release) was released.
In August 2021, the distribution single "Maboroshi" (21.8.7 release) was released.

NYAI is a Japanese alternative five piece pop/rock band formed and living around Fukuoka city which is located in the southern part of Japan.
This brand new song Maboroshi(Illusion) is filled with creative and dreamy guitars and melodies that you can love forever.
Their basic music style is influenced by the late 80s to 90s impressive alternative pop and rock bands and artists from US, UK and Japan, such as Smashing Pumpkins, Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals and Cornelius.
Nevertheless, their music can be described as very much original NYAI music for the people living in this century.
It is authentic, futuristic, realistic and much more fun to listen to for the everyday people in the world today.
Watch out for the NYAI music or they might catch YOU!!

〜Comment from Satoshi Yuki〜
Corona misfortune, there were various thoughts and ideas at that time,
At the beginning of the corona crisis, I, as an artist, had nothing to say. I thought.
After that, I found what I wanted to convey, what was important, and announced the “choice”,
It's been about two years since the coronavirus started, and I'm starting to wonder what the real problem is...
I came to feel man-made disasters, human fear and darkness.
I'm worried about people's eyes and public opinion due to the corona disaster, and there's an atmosphere where I shouldn't do what I can
I feel like the atmosphere is spreading even if you can't say you like what you like.
I don't know how far anyone is telling the truth,
I was fed up with the "society" where you have to doubt yourself, not "Corona".
No one can enter my heart and yours.
It is a song that was completed with irony and determination, and the image of the beginning of a new world and flow.
Get into the work. go crazy

Kariyushi 58 Maekawa Shingo's 4th solo work is a collaboration with Gagaga SP Satoshi Yamamoto!
Kariyushi 58's 4th solo release by Shingo Maekawa, the vocalist of Kariyushi 58, is celebrating its 15th anniversary as a band.
This work "Natsume" is a joint production with label mate Gagaga SP and guitarist Satoshi Yamamoto.
It seems that they were born while exchanging songs and lyrics as if they were sending letters while each other's bands could not work as expected due to the corona vortex.
A song that floats for a moment, combining a song arrangement with a solemn sound and lyrics that seem to be composed of a waka poem that captures the moment of summer.
This work, which has a different taste from each band color, is a special song that was born precisely because it was a collaboration.
Attention should be paid to the activities of Shingo Maekawa and Kariyushi 58, who continue to transmit new activities as if the headwind for artists from last year is a tailwind.
The long-awaited nationwide tour, which was postponed due to the corona crisis, will also be held.
