New single "Into the Light" details and comments have arrived!

Into the Light" was written by Motoo Fujimori of SAKANAMON, who provided the music for the band. Ai Higuchi wrote the lyrics and Kengo Minamida (agehasprings Party) composed the music for "Aoi Haru to Nishi-no-Sora" (Blue Spring and Western Sky), which was recorded at the same time.

Both songs continue to be arranged by Ritsuro Mitsui, and while they have the characteristics of the band's past work, they also offer new possibilities.

Comment from Motoo Fujimori (SAKANAMON), lyricist and composer
I too was not good at human relations, and there was a time in my school days when I quit a band and decided never to be in one again,
I had a friend like Ijichi senior who invited me to join a band.

I was a shy and passive person, but he actively encouraged me to join a band,
He reminded me how much fun it was to be in a band, and that is why I am here today.

Being able to play in a band,
It is not a matter of course to be able to be in a band or to be able to play live, but it is a momentary art that is created by a combination of miracles.
I want the audience and the band to enjoy the moment of playing together.
I made this video with these feelings in mind!

I will continue to support the activities of the Band of Solidarity.
Please continue to support the activities of the Band of Solidarity!
