not washed away. Not welcome. Solar eclipse Natsuko's research declaration. 1000 copies limited single "Ongaku no Susume" will be released simultaneously digitally on 3/10 (Wed.)

Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano-playing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, has announced that she will release a 1000-piece limited single "Ongaku no Susume" on March 10, 2021 (Wednesday). Distribution will start on each music site from 0:00 on the same day.

Couplings include the full version of "Danzare", a tie-up song by Parsley Holdings Co., Ltd., and the new song "Mine", which is a melody sampled by Natsuko Nisshoku herself.
After the "△Sing better△Tour" tour final held at the beginning of last year, all activities became a blank slate. As of April 2020, the lyrics of "Ongaku no Susume", which had been written, were rewritten to respond to the "now".
With Mr. Satoshi Takebe as the arranger, the song finally completed captures the feeling of depression that spreads all at once, and sublimes into a simple and exhilarating statement of determination that Natsuko Nisshoku has arrived at.
Don't be swept away, don't cater, and just appeal straight.
I have high hopes for this song, which is presented as one of the guidelines, and I want to wait for further reports.

[Comment from Natsuko Solar Eclipse]
Summer 2019. When I performed at a certain large-scale festival, after my turn was over, I went to see Otori's live performance on the biggest stage. The stage was so wonderful that I was overwhelmed, and I thought that I would never forget this memory, so I went home from the festival that night. That is the chorus of "Ongaku no Susume".

It's been a year and a half since then. Now that the place where music belongs is completely limited, I feel that I was fortunate to be able to see that big bird stage. Now that everyone in the music industry is suffering from a stagnant market, when I calmly think about "Is music useful?" "It's not logic. There's no way I can let go. I love music, so even in this difficult situation, I have no choice but to cling to it with intuition. Sorry!" Everyone in the industry, I wished that they would be so upset.

Those who make music, those who sell it, those who bathe in it... Until the dawn that must come again for all musicians,
I just want you to keep dreaming, even if it's just an illusion. and for that
Now is the time to need a landmark like a single flag.
This work, "Encouragement of Music", will be proudly presented to the world as one flag.

I would like to once again thank the arranger Mr. Takebe, the recording members, and the staff for their efforts in splendidly dressing the original song in the midst of a difficult situation.

Kariyushi 58, new release decision on the 15th anniversary of debut!

Kariyushi 58, which will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2021, will release a limited edition on the anniversary of its debut.
It was announced at the event "Smile Count Down Live in Okinawa 2020-2021" held in Okinawa on New Year's Eve.

“Smile Count Down Live in Okinawa” will be held in Okinawa such as BEGIN, MONGOL800, HY, DIAMANTES, and Kariyushi 58.
An annual New Year's Eve event that began with the idea of letting the representative artists get together and spend the New Year with a “smile” together with people from inside and outside the prefecture.
Kiyosaku from MONGOL800, who hosted the event for the first time, declared, "I want to do this every year while exchanging parents (hosts)."
It will be held for the fourth time this year.
And this year, Kariyushi 58 acted as the host and big bird, and celebrated the moment from the countdown to the New Year with their representative song "Owari Hajimari".

Scheduled to be released on February 22, 2021, the 15th anniversary of his debut, the work title is "HeartBeat", and the title song and several songs will be included.
"HeartBeat" is a joint work in which each member writes lyrics and sings, and is a treasured song that was recorded during the recording of the album "Bandwagon" released in 2020 and kept warm for a year.

Hiroki Nakamura, a drummer who was taking a rest due to illness, will return to the band in 2020.
A solid "band wagon" that seems to symbolize the determination for a new departure with five people including support members.
"HeartBeat" has a contrasting impression with "Bandwagon", but it is a colorful, cheerful and fun song with the colors of the members scattered.
This coherent song also contains the hope for their fresh start with all the members.

In 2020, the nationwide tour was postponed due to the influence of Corona, and Kariyushi 58 has not yet been able to make a fresh start in the true sense.
In 2021, we hope that the "bandwagon" named Kariyushi 58 will make a fresh start all over the country, and with the start of the 15th anniversary
Please pay attention to their year of delivering "HeartBeat" with the voices of all the members!

On (Sun) (Jail Day), a change in the schedule was announced.

This is at a time when the third wave of the new coronavirus infection is spreading nationwide.
This is a decision to avoid attracting customers from all over the country due to the arena scale.

In addition, due to the schedule change of the final performance, the extension of the tour was also announced.
Pia Arena MM on May 9, 2021 (Sunday) will be the tour final,
In addition to the areas held in "New Coronavirus Hate Tour 2020" from March next year,
The "New Coronavirus Haters Tour 2021" will be held with additional performances in Tohoku, Hokuriku, Chugoku, Shikoku and Okinawa.

The detailed schedule and venue will be announced at a later date, so please wait for further information.

《Comment from Atsushi Osawa (Decapitation Prison Club)》
On January 11, 2021, we will hold the tour final of "Tour 2020 that hates the new coronavirus".
We have been planning to hold it at Pia Arena MM, a large venue with a maximum capacity of over 10,000 people.

However, in the turbulent 2020, the situation will change moment by moment this year.
In order to be flexible with the situation, we pushed out ticket sales until the last minute.

And I hate to admit it, but the "bad" side of what I was expecting has happened.
As you know, tensions are rising all over the country due to the spread of infections called the "third wave".

Through this tour, we have deepened our experience and understanding of know-how on infection prevention measures.
In the first place, the guidelines for holding events in the event industry, which are audited by the government in early spring, are extremely strong.
Even if it is the largest venue, we are proud that it is possible to hold the event with thorough infection control measures inside the venue.

However, it is only a story "inside the venue".
If it becomes the tour final at a venue of this scale, I think that many people will come from all over the country.
When it comes to talking about thousands of people moving and staying at once, the story changes in various ways.
I have to admit that if I could choose the timing, it would be natural to say, "Not now."

And as mentioned above, we've been postponing ticket sales to "choose" that decision.
Wisely, I left myself with a choice.
So, it makes sense to reconsider having the tour final on January 11th.

But it is.
It is also true that there are definitely people who have been waiting impatiently for this tour final.
As for us, we don't want to go out of our way to disappoint everyone in this disappointing corona misfortune.
I don't want to give only disappointment with the word "discontinued". What is it that makes you smile when you should be smiling?
I hate that. I don't care about the venue cancellation fee deficit or anything like that (not good)

So, I'm very selfish, but I'm really sorry that I'm going to say something strange again.

We are pleased to announce that this time, "New Coronavirus Hate Tour 2020"
It is very selfish, but I would like to extend it.

In other words, “Tour 2021 that hates the new coronavirus” will start again.
Continue. It seems that the new corona virus is still going to continue, so I'm going to extend my trip.
Well, we need a bit of preparation time, so the tour will resume in March.
Increase the number. In addition to the cities I visited in 2020, I have not yet visited Tohoku Hokuriku, Shikoku Chugoku, and Okinawa.
Details such as ticket sales will be announced as soon as preparations are complete.

And the tour final will be held at Pia Arena MM.
May 9th (Sun) is a "change" to "Prison Day".
Yes, it's just a schedule change. I'm very sorry, but I ended up extending the tour itself!
I'm sorry, just change it!

That's why I will continue my journey singing "I hate the new coronavirus." I hate it.
Of course, while polishing the anti-infection measures.
Without causing any trouble to those who are forced to fight at the forefront of medical care.
And so that the lights of our precious places will never die out.
Yes, it's a bad life to give up, so I'm going to move forward while searching for a way to make it all work.

Hopefully, by the end of this journey, we'll be able to say, "Everyone, come together."
Until then, please keep in touch with us for a while.

A countdown live support project where Kariyushi 58 and other Okinawan artists gather has started at "wefan"!

“Smile Count Down Live in Okinawa 2020-2021” is a countdown event that has become an annual event in Okinawa for the fourth time this year.
In the past, artists representing Okinawa such as BEGIN, MONGOL800, HY, Kariyushi 58, DIAMANTES, D-51, Kiroro, etc. have performed, and every year the New Year's Eve has been celebrated with Okinawan friends.

MONGOL800 will be the host for the first year, then BEGIN, then HY, and this year Kariyushi58. This event is overflowing with a peaceful atmosphere that is concentrated with uniqueness.

This year, events were canceled across the board due to the effects of the coronavirus, and after careful consideration of how to hold the event, it was decided to reduce the capacity and hold the event with an audience and distribution.
However, due to measures against infectious diseases, it will cost more than usual, but since the capacity is halved, the budget is limited, and various companies are facing hardships. .

Therefore, crowdfunding has started with the aim of reducing debt by reducing expenses such as construction and operation costs and infectious disease countermeasures for implementation!
It was held on the crowdfunding site "we fan" operated by LD&K, to which Kariyushi 58, the host of this year's event, belongs, and the course includes a DVD with selected live performances of the day, and a VIP seat with a guaranteed front row seat. There are plenty of special rewards for those who are looking forward to the event and those who support each artist.

▽What is we fan?
360-degree artist support crowdfunding “we fan”
Things related to music that are overwhelmingly different from existing crowdfunding. Sound source production, advertising, distribution,
With know-how such as event festival booking, goods production, fan club management, etc., 360-degree music activities
Crowdfunding service launched to support.

In 2020, entertainment throughout Japan was faced with adversity, and I hope that 2021 will bring a tailwind. event now.

Starting with this countdown, we want Okinawan entertainment to deliver "Smile" to Japan and the rest of the world, and to once again feel the potential and power of entertainment!

▼Comment from Kariyushi 58 Maekawa Shingo▼
2020 has been a year of silence around the world.
That's why I believe there is a deep meaning in ending the year with music in Okinawa, where music has continued to connect even in the face of adversity.
I would like to spend the last day of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 with music, in order to prove that people are not defeated by reality.
Believing in the power of music to overcome difficulties, we decided to hold a countdown live again this year.
Let's turn all the complaints and whinings into songs and welcome the new year together!
