On December 10th, East Of Eden announced the departure of bassist Wakazaemon. While their future movements have been closely watched, it was announced today, December 24th, that MINA, who is active as a solo artist, will be joining the group as a new bassist!
MINA has over 1.6 million followers on TikTok, and the total number of followers on her own SNS account has exceeded 2.8 million. In January 2024, he participated in the session video “Already Over Sessions: Episode 5 (Tokyo)” by LINKIN PARK member Mike Shinoda (Vo), a solo project, which became a hot topic. He has many followers from overseas and is one of the artists who attracts attention from all over the world.
Along with this announcement, the tour “East Of Eden Spring Tour 2025 ~ Seeds Of Hope ~” to be held in March 2025 has also been announced! Tickets go on sale from today for East Of Eden’s first tour after the new organization, which started with new member MINA. Don’t miss it!
This tour also includes a performance in Shanghai, China, which will be the band’s first overseas performance, and details will be announced at a later date.

My name is MINA and I have joined East Of Eden as their bassist!
Before going solo, I was in a band for about 6 years, and I moved to Tokyo with the dream of becoming a successful band, devoting all of my time to music.
When such an important place disbanded four years ago, I kept a lid on my heart, thinking that my dream of becoming a band would never come true.
This time, I was invited by all my seniors, and to be honest, I was a little confused at first.
However, I happened to run into some of the members and we worked together.
I felt that such a coincidence was fateful.
And above all, when I went to see their live performance, I was impressed by how cool they were.
I thought I’d try playing in a band again.
I decided to join because I was so happy that there is a place where people can meet my needs.
Compared to the members, I still have a long way to go in terms of career and experience, but I want to continue to grow and enjoy music in a place called East Of Eden.
thank you.

We are pleased to announce that MINA will be joining East of Eden as their new bassist.
With MINA, who has accumulated a lot of experience as a bassist in a band for many years and is now active as a solo artist, we will be able to protect the East of Eden that we have created together, while also being able to improve our songs and live performances. I think I can take on new challenges as well.
I have always been inspired by MINA’s way of being as a musician and her personality, but from now on, as members of the same band, we will all pursue better music while respecting each other and improving each other. I want to go.
And we, East of Eden, have created a place where we can meet everyone next March.
Beyond “Forbidden Fruit”, which takes on the challenge with a new system…
Please come and see it.
Once again, we look forward to your continued support of East of Eden.
