Furthermore, the following week on August 16th, the first album “Homeworks” will be released under the name of his new project “GOMA HomeWorks”, and afterwards, a digital-only version of the CD album sold exclusively at his solo exhibition “Hikari no Sekai” will also be released, with two additional songs.

■GOMA & The Jungle Rhythm Section Profile
The hottest, most danceable and strongest groove band, centered around didgeridoo artist GOMA.
Members: Kyoichi Shiino, Kenta Takagi, and Kosuke Tsuji.
Their performances, which create a wild groove through raging rhythms and didgeridoo sessions without using any electronic instruments, have become a huge hit at outdoor festivals and parties.
In 2009, GOMA was involved in a traffic accident and suspended activities.
In 2011, he overcame the hardships of an accident that left him with no chance of recovery, and resumed his musical career at FUJIROCK FESTIVAL.
The film “Flashback Memories 3D”, which depicts the band’s journey to their comeback in 2012 using only live footage of the band and GOMA’s diary, won the Audience Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival and was a huge hit, attracting an audience of over 20,000 people.
Since celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2014, the band has continued to engage in a wide range of activities, including holding solo concerts and appearing at festivals around the country, and in 2018 they released their long-awaited new album, “STARTING OVER,” their first in about nine years.
In the same year, he organized his own outdoor festival “JUNGLE FESTIVAL” in Minami Boso, Chiba, which was a huge success.
He is responsible for creating the music for the illuminated track entrance at the opening ceremony of the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics.
The 20th anniversary live show “JUNGLE FESTIVAL 2024” will be held in August 2024.
