Aoba Ichiko released her new single “Lullaby” today, Thursday, August 8th.
This is the first new song in about a year since their previous album “meringue doll” and is said to be a bridge between their seventh album “Adan no Kaze”, which has been a hot topic both in Japan and overseas, and their new album “Luminescent Creatures”, which is scheduled for release next year.
In addition, it has been decided that she will hold her first domestic tour in about five years since “ichiko aoba qp tour 2018-2019” held in 2018-2019, “ICHIKO AOBA Japan Tour 2024”. This will be a solo performance in seven cities nationwide ahead of her world tour scheduled to start in February next year. Advance ticket sales will start today at noon. In addition, the second advance ticket sales and tickets for overseas residents will also go on sale for “ICHIKO AOBA “Luminescent Creatures” World Premiere”, a concert to recreate her latest album by a total of 10 musicians to be held in Osaka and Tokyo in October. Check it out.
[Comment from Ichiko Aoba]
A nighttime lullaby for all little creatures.
An old music box found on a deserted beach.
When you add some star sand and turn the handle, you will hear a melody.
I painted that kind of scenery.
Releasing the important songs I’ve been working on for years at this very moment,
We deliver with our best wishes.
