A tribute album to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Yohmo to Ohana's formation will be released!

"11 Gazes" from 11 artists to Chiba Hana.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the formation of Yohmo to Ohana, a miraculous tribute album has been completed by 11 amazing artists.

The acoustic duo "Yohmo to Ohana," formed in 2004, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
Also, April 8th of this year marks the 10th anniversary of the death of vocalist Hana Chiba, "Yoshoku to Hana Day."
As part of the 20th anniversary year project, Yohmo and Ohana will be holding a live performance titled "10th Anniversary Live Uta no Tegami ~Arigato~"
A live broadcast was aired, during which the release of a tribute album to commemorate the band's 20th anniversary was announced!
His partner, guitarist "Yohmo" Ichikawa Kazunori, also known as "Yohmo", continued to work after that, focusing on the artists who had been with him on the journey.
A tribute album for this work is being planned and will be released on May 15th.

In addition to Ohashi Trio and Kotoringo, who had close ties with Chiba Hana before her death, Aina the End, yui (FLOWER FLOWER),
The album features a number of impressive artists, including Yuko Ando, Salyu, Ann Sally, Miyuki Hatakeyama, Kitri, DadaD, and World Standard.
The album jacket was designed by Junaida, who has been with him since his debut.

A comment was received from Soichiro Suzuki, who has been involved in the production of Wool and Ohana for many years.
"The album title "Manazashi" is<羊毛とおはな>This duo looks at the past and future through sound.
It represents the feelings of all the musicians who participated. And it represents the vision of the passionate music fans who will listen to this album."
….Soichiro Suzuki (World Standard)

There was also a comment from member Ichikawa Kazunori.
"If I had to choose who I would most like to play the Yohmo to Ohana tribute album "Manazashi" to, it would definitely be Chiba Hana, so it's a "farewell CD" in two senses. It's been 20 years since we formed, and the songs we've created together with Chiba Hana have been mediated by musicians we respect, and I feel like they've created a wonderful bouquet that I'm familiar with but have never seen before.
To all of you who are fans of Wool and Ohana, we apologize for the wait.
To those who listened to "Manazashi" without knowing Yohmo to Ohana, nice to meet you."
...Kazunori Ichikawa (Wool and Flowers)

Be sure to check out this miraculous tribute album, "Manazashi," by 11 amazing artists.

Push-Pull Pot from Kanazawa performs live on the dream "SCHOOL OF LOCK!" for 20 minutes, creating a huge response! ! Vo/Gt Yamaguchi “The day my dream came true”

4-person band "Push Pull Pot" from Kanazawa will be featured on TOKYO FM "SCHOOL OF LOCK!"
They appeared live on March 25th (Monday) and performed 6 songs in band form.
Also, at the beginning of the program, the new song "Gold March" released on April 3rd was aired for the first time as a surprise.

March 11, 2011
When Vo/G Yamaguchi was 13 years old, he was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in his hometown of Iwate Kuji.
They say they were saved by music played from a radio that was distributed as relief supplies at the evacuation center.
In fact, the program that was playing that music was "SCHOOL OF LOCK!"
That experience led to him starting a band.

In March 2024, 13 years later, he appeared on "SCHOOL OF LOCK!".
On this day, instead of the usual guests, they brought their equipment to the studio and performed a live performance with the same band as at the live house.

With the MC saying, ``I too was saved by the music that came on the radio.''
Live start with “Aishiteru ni ni ni”! Next, they performed "Unstable Boy".

Here Yamaguchi begins to speak...
Great East Japan Earthquake March 11, 2011 I'm from Iwate, and I had no place to return to, and the new house I was supposed to move into three days later was washed away.
When I was preparing for my graduation ceremony in 1st year of middle school, I had no interest in music, but the music that came on the radio made me who I am today.

I can say good morning, good night, and sorry again tomorrow, so please do it later.
Living is not something we take for granted.
I know it's extremely painful, but don't die. Don't take your own life and die.
I learned that from the radio

13 years later, I'm standing and singing to the School of Rock I was listening to.
I'm playing music because I want to save you
Rock band is really good
"School of Rock" Thank you for saving me!
I was happy to be able to sing
I hope this song reaches you..."13 Years Old Night"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEDpr-XJhJ8

"I don't even know the name of 13 years ago. I wonder if I can become like the hero that I was 13 years ago.
I'm seriously coming to save you! ! ” and performed “laughing.”

Then, it reappeared at 23:00,
After getting on the phone with a 15-year-old female student who had been traumatized by friendships at school in the past and speaking to her with words of encouragement.
"Tomo" sings "Let's do our best" instead of "Ganbare".

At night, I think about all sorts of negative things, and I feel like I want to die or disappear.
You can hear School of Rock and our music in the middle of the night!
I'll make you feel glad to be alive at this moment! Then, they performed the last song of the night, "Iki Ike."

Principal Komori said, ``It was the best night that I truly felt that today was connected to someday in the future.
Stand up! see you tomorrow~! He ended the program with his usual phrase.

After the program ended, there was a huge response with many posts on SNS.

- - - - - - - - - - -
The boy who was saved by School of Rock 13 years ago will have saved many teenagers and the smoldering memories of those once upon a time at School of Rock tonight.
Mr. Push Pull Pot's music was the cry of the soul. thank you very much.
- - - - - - - - - - -
It's often said, ``Don't think about things at night,'' but if there's music and words that flow through your veins, there's definitely a meaning to musing. I couldn't sleep for a while and cried every night, so I wanted to listen to the two hours tonight. The visit of the future born 13 years ago was wonderful! I'm happy to be there. see you tomorrow.
- - - - - - - - - - -
I can't stop crying. Thank you for saving me.
I think I'll get out of the house for a little bit tomorrow, and I'll try to eat a little bit.
- - - - - - - - - - -
"After 13 years, I've seriously come to save you."
cry of the soul
Hearing it on the radio, hearing it from School of Rock, it's a real hero.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Listening to a band's songs live makes me feel so numb...I can convey my feelings to them.
I hope I can hear some great music at a live venue someday... I feel like I can take another step forward tomorrow. Let's do our best
- - - - - - - - - - -

Vo/G Yamaguchi wrote the following words on SNS.

“13 years later March 25, 2024
The day my dream came true

<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.

Everyone in the company is afraid of Sakakibara, but by chance Mariko is appointed as Sakakibara's business attendant. ``Listen...attending the president's meals is the job that puts the most pressure on me as a secretary.''

<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.

Piano-playing and singing artist Natsuko Nikko releases new artist photos and announces her first exhibition!

In 2024, Natsuko Nikko, whose 15th anniversary "Natsuko Nikko 15th Anniversary -Space Friendship-" has started in earnest, has released a new artist photo that symbolizes the keyword "Space Friendship" for this year!
The photo was taken by photographer Kenta Aminaka. A new visual that captures the eye is born, with a location that looks like the surface of the moon, styling reminiscent of a space suit, and a line of sight staring at you from behind a clear helmet. This is a perfect finish for Natsuko's eclipse, which has opened up a variety of possibilities for her anniversary year.

Furthermore, Natsuko Hikoku recently announced the existence of five major projects for "Space Friends Swimming". Immediately after, they announced the first part of the project and announced that they would be holding an uncharted band tour called ``Area Mirai,'' which would consist only of previously unreleased songs, and the band immediately sold out one after another.

Amid high expectations from fans, she has announced the holding of her second exhibition, ``Area Past'' - What Made Natsuko the Eclipse, her first ever exhibition.

This exhibition will feature actual items and costumes used in past visuals, an area that recreates the music production room, treasured footage, and lyrics, focusing on Natsuko's accomplishments from the age of 17 until now. It will be a special opportunity for all of us to see the presence of these people.

─ Natsuko Solar Eclipse Comment
A messy lyric notebook from when I wrote that song, a handwritten storyboard from when I devised that music video, a dictionary full of markers and sticky notes, numerous stage costumes I wore on past tours, photos, videos, mysterious notes... .
When we dug up the traces of our 15 years of activities, we found that there were more "things" left than we had expected that were deeply imbued with the passion of the times. Shouldn't you show these off on your anniversary year, when you'll be celebrating with lots of friends? That's why I came up with the idea for this exhibition.
In the pure white space of Lampzaka Gallery, my past 15 years, mixed inside and out, are scattered all over the place. How many pieces of "Area's past" can you find in 8 days?

With the slogan "Space Friendly Swimming", there is no doubt that it will become even more exciting in the future. Let's look forward to the next report.
