[ISSA (DA PUMP)]The ultimate winter song “The Christmas Song” is now available! His first solo album in 18 years, “I SING,” will be released in March.

DA PUMP’s ISSA has started distributing the adult Christmas song “The Christmas Song” from today.

This song was co-written by ISSA and Hatake (Sharan Q), who have been friends for many years.

In 2001, when ISSA visited Mr. Hatake’s private studio, the work they co-produced for fun has finally been released after 23 years. The deep chorus sung by ISSA and the gorgeous guitar solo by Mr. Hatake are also worth listening to.

The lyrics were written by ISSA, the music was composed by Hatake, and the track and chorus arrangement was by Daisuke “DI” Imai, who also worked on DA PUMP’s “ALRIGHT!” and ISSA’s “Chosen Solider.”

We want you to enjoy the classic Christmas songs with an adult flavor.

Furthermore, ISSA’s solo album “I SING” will be released on Wednesday, March 5th next year. This is ISSA’s first solo project package release in about 18 years since their October 2007 EP “CHOSEN SOLDIER”.

In addition to the newly recorded original songs, this work includes “Another Life” released last year, remastered versions of past songs, and even the sound source of last year’s Billboard Live performance, and it is based on the title “I SING” that he himself titled. It is a hearty piece that allows you to fully enjoy vocalist ISSA’s progress so far.

At “ISSA Premium Live at Billboard Live 2024”, which will be held from December 3rd (Tuesday), original coasters will be given to those who reserve the venue for this album. The designs are different for the daytime and nighttime performances, so be sure to check them out as well.
