Yukkyun, new AL release decided, pre-release of song produced by Enputei/Koichiro Okunaka

It has been announced that Yukkyun will release his new album “Reincarnated Anata wo” on September 11th (Wednesday).

This is their first album in about two and a half years. The recording will include support band members for the event to be held on June 3rd (Monday) at Shibuya WWW in Tokyo, including Ozora Kimijima (Gt.), Okunaka (Gt.), Yoshiteru Takahashi (Bas.), and Misaki Umei. (Key.) and Yukihiro Kamiya (Dr.) participated. Also, from the album, he will be releasing advance singles for 4 consecutive months starting in May. As the first step, a “Logout Bonus” will be released on Wednesday, May 15th. The song is the first produced work by Koichiro Okunaka (Vo./Gt.) of the five-piece band Empty, and is said to be a “retirement anthem” inspired by several French movies. It also seems to be Yukkyun’s first song with a band sound.

Furthermore, Yukkyun, who is celebrating his 10th anniversary as an active member, is planning to hold “Yukkyun 10th Commemoration Two-Man Project DIVA & YOU” for three consecutive months starting in June. On Sunday, June 16th, sake bottles will be available at Oppa-La in Enoshima, Kanagawa. On Tuesday, July 23rd, Satoko Shibata will be available at Shindaita FEVER in Tokyo. On Friday, August 23rd, at Shangri-La in Shimokitazawa. A two-man live with Ozora Kimishima will be held.

Advance ticket lottery for both performances will begin today, May 8th (Wednesday) at 12:00 p.m.

[Yukkyun comment]

I will release the album “Unreborn You” in September (if I can make it in time).
We have decided to take the lead in releasing new songs in May, June, July, and August (if we can make it in time).

Barbara Roden’s “WANDA”
After seeing the lone person in Agnès Varda’s A Winter’s Journey,
I’ve always had the image of a person wandering alone in my heart,
For some reason while watching Chantal Akerman’s work,
I came up with the title “Logout Bonus”,
I write with the feeling of portraying the person in a Japanese movie.
One year ago, I suddenly wrote the lyrics for a full chorus at a business hotel while traveling.
Mr. Okunaka’s good work,
And with the help of so many people, I’m happy to be able to share it with the world.

My fans have a very high turnover rate.
A place where your life can truly shine
I think there are a lot of people looking for it.

Until now, people have always told me that they listen to it when they go to work.
But in 2024, I started to realize that life is not just about going to work.
I hope you listen to this when you have no choice but to listen to this.

I’m looking at you, unreborn.

[Comment from Koichiro Okunaka (Enputei)]

Last September, Yukkyun and I went to a coffee shop and reported on what was going on. At that table, he secretly showed me the lyrics he was struggling with because they weren’t coming out well. The lyrics spoke to me about the melody, so we went straight to the studio (at home) and created the prototype for this song. If the lyrics come first and the melody comes later, I often change the lyrics to match the melody, but I think I was able to express the scenery of the original lyrics more clearly by adding the melody without changing the lyrics. . We had Mr. Ozora Kimishima (Gt), Mr. Misaki Umei (Pf), Mr. Yoshiki Takahashi (Ba), Mr. Yukihiro Kamiya (Dr) for the performance, and I also participated with acoustic guitar and tambourine to complete the sound source. REC, MIX, and mastering is done by Hinata Kashiwai, who also works with Enputei. There’s a lot to listen to, so come check it out! Come to think of it, it’s a personal matter, but this is my first time providing music.
