I will surely remember it when spring comes. Seven spring poems. Nisshoku Natsuko's 6th Mini Album "Hanayodo" will be released on April 5th (Wednesday) & new artist photos released!

Piano singing artist Natsuko Nisshoku has announced that she will release her 6th mini-album "Hanayodo" on April 5, 2023 (Wednesday).

This work, which will be released for the first time in about a year, is not necessarily bright and gorgeous, but that's okay. Completely different from the previous work "Mimesis", which was sprinkled with metaphors and traps everywhere, the result is a melancholy yet soft conceptual spring work full of straight thoughts and sounds. Continuing from the previous work, we would like to pay attention to various arrangements including collaborations with Asian artists.

The artist photo released at the same time as the release announcement was taken by photographer Kenta Aminaka. Sophisticated visuals with a natural and emotional atmosphere are finished to expand the world view of the work.

Pre-orders for the CD have started today. Benefits will also be available for reservations made by February 19 at the target corporate store. Please check it out.

— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —
I have lived thinking that spring is not the season of encounters, but the season of parting.
Everyone is buoyed by the cheerfulness of spring, budding new premonitions, and set off on a journey with the lukewarm wind blowing. Yes, we do that every year.

I suddenly felt like I wanted to claim that it was my own kind of spring.
Torn, muddy, scattered all too easily, but still I am invited again.
In such a season when flowers and sediments mix,
I will collect seven songs and bind them as a work called "Hanayodo".

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.

— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —

FM Nagasaki has been supporting our activities in various ways for a long time, and I am happy that I was able to have a definitive and strong connection with Nagasaki by being invited to Sky Jamboree this summer. However, at the end of the year, I am overjoyed to be able to visit Nagasaki again for a one-man live. FM Nagasaki, thank you for always giving me a wonderful voice!

The place is Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art "Bridge Corridor".
Strangely, I am currently conducting a solo tour "Reiwa Modernism" that tours beautiful buildings all over the country, and I think that this is also a fate that cannot be dismissed by chance, so this live will be called "Ken I will call it "Beauty Modernism".
Just thinking about what kind of song I can sing while bathing in the architectural beauty of the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art is exciting.
I am really looking forward to the glittering winter of Nagasaki.

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.

Nisshoku Natsuko Releases Music Video for M5 "Necessary Item (album ver.)" from New Album "Mimesis"!

Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano-playing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, has released a music video for M5 "Necessary Item (album ver.)" From the 4th Full Album "Mimesis" released on March 30, 2022 (Wednesday).

The original version of the song was recorded as a new song on a CD produced as a return of crowdfunding conducted by Nisshoku Natsuko in the spring of 2020, and for about two years after that, it was not distributed or distributed. .

It was upgraded by adding sounds sampled by herself to the original song with only piano and vocals, and was released as one of the songs closest to Natsuko's eclipse in the album concept of "mimicry".

The music video released this time is a self-produced work produced by Nisshoku Natsuko herself from planning and editing. The essential items that "must be bought" that appear in the lyrics, the essential items that were lacking during the release tour "Shushukokaku" with the 4th full album "Mimesis", and various scenes during the tour. It has a road movie-like finish that is perfect for the rustic and natural music sent with photos.

I want you to enjoy watching it while thinking about what you need right now.

▼Nisshoku Natsuko “Necessities (album ver.)” Music Video

https://youtu.be/VHw7bj2HW6k

— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —

After taking photos of the essentials that were missing during the "collection pilgrimage" and arranging them, it became somewhat sentimental to look back on the tour itself, so I made a music video.
There are pictures of myself behind the scenes, of the team members who walked with me on this journey, and of those who came to the tour, there was one photo that made me think, "When was this...?" I might.

Necessities that disappear no matter how much you buy more are similar to daily memories that fade no matter how much you accumulate them. That's why if I leave it in the video like this, I'm sure I'll be blessed with the opportunity to look back on it no matter how many years pass.
It will surely become irreplaceable in the future, but for now it's just a small record of our journey.

— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —

I have held many conceptual solo tours such as “Yui-Kissa” and “Nara-Watari”, but this time I came up with a new idea for a trip.

Entitled "Reiwa Modernism".

This is a tour that takes you through retro and atmospheric venues such as Western-style buildings and auditoriums where you can feel the remnants of the bright and open civilization and enlightenment of Japan, when Western culture once swept in.

The program, the costumes, the goods... I'm excited because it seems like it's going to be worth it.

Let's meet in an exceptional setting suitable for setting foot in a wonderful venue.

Nisshoku Natsuko Releases Music Video for M4 "meridian" from New Album "Mimesis"!

Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano-playing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, has released the Music Video for M4 "meridian" from her 4th Full Album "Mimesis" released on March 30, 2022 (Wednesday).

The word "meridian" refers to the moment when the sun rises highest. This song, written by Natsuko Natsuko when she was in her third year of high school and at the age of 18, was written based on the events that happened before the exam season. Contrary to the voices of the leaders, the lyrics express the extremely pure suffering of those who do not want it, and the reality that they have lost their hiding place under the powerful light. The song, which seems to murmur and twist at times, is softly accompanied by the sounds of the piano and guitar, making it a song that seems to permeate deeply.

The released music video was produced in collaboration with Mr. Dai Osaki of Ten to Sen Inc., who handles various commercials and LOOK BOOKs. The faint light, the light that flickers on the surface of the water, and the darkness that spreads out in response to the backlight are carefully and beautifully developed through sophisticated lighting, resulting in a finish that enhances the world view of the song.

This work was released after a long time from production. An essay describing the production secret story at the time has also been released, so please check it out along with the music video.

— Solar eclipse Natsuko’s comment —
When the sun is at its highest point, there is almost no shadow on the earth.
That child who was crushed by the light that mercilessly poured down from directly above.
These are the words I wrote at the age of 18 when I couldn't do anything while watching it.

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.


Nisshoku Natsuko's new album lead track "√-1" music video unveiled!

Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano singing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, will release her fourth full-length album "Mimesis" on March 30 (Wednesday). The music video for the lead track "√-1" (reading: root minus one) has been released.

In this work "Mimesis", Nisshoku Natsuko, who has gained a huge amount of time due to the corona disaster, absorbs various sensibilities from a wide variety of genres during that time. I can write interesting songs!” It was produced with a strong desire for output. 13 songs with various musicality and origins are gathered under the theme of "mimicry" = mimesis.

The lead track "√-1" was created with Tomoki Numano as an arranger. The melody that flows vigorously in the chorus is especially memorable. In contrast to such a track, the music video presents a monochrome world filled with a sense of collapse, an animation that colors the world from various angles, and a scene of a piano playing on a stage where the lights come and go. Combined with this, it became a finish that stirs up emotions. The animation is handled by Hana Ono, following the previous work "Utsurobune".

Regarding this song, Solar Eclipse commented that it was "a song based on non-existent numbers", but in the work "Mimesis", what exactly did this song imitate and what did it sing? I would like you to search for the answer by retrieving the hints in the video.

▼Natsuko's comment on the solar eclipse

This is a song about numbers that don't exist.
What was it that I unknowingly dropped at the end of the days when I chased those things named "i" and "empty" with curiosity?
I wrote this song by borrowing multiple figures in order to keep my still unsettled emotions rushing at that speed.
Why can't I find an answer? I want to cherish the feeling of hesitation for the rest of my life.

Nisshoku Natsuko's new album lead track "√-1" music video teaser video & radio on-air lifted.

Nisshoku Natsuko, a piano-playing artist from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, will release a teaser video of the lead track "√-1" (reading: Root Minus One) Music Video from the new album "Mimesis" to be released on March 30 (Wednesday). lifted the ban.

The video begins with a quiet black-and-white image, in contrast to the powerful melody that says, "Bright blue hands and cracked red hands." Nisshoku Natsuko, who was sitting on a bench, picked up something and held it in her hand, and her gaze changed to a hollow expression without ever raising her gaze, and she murmured something into the air. The scene shifts to a stage where brilliant lights come and go, and the scene of playing the piano earnestly while wearing a jet-black costume unfolds in a hurry. The video ends with a cut of 10,000 yen bills fluttering down, and the finish makes you want to find the solution already. What is "√-1" mimicking and what is it singing? I want you to look for its true identity in the full story that will be released soon.
