Yuma Abe to release 2nd album “Hotel New Yuma” set in a fictional hotel

It has been announced that Yuma Abe will release his new album “Hotel New Yuma” on November 13th (Wednesday) (LP will be released on December 18th (Wednesday)).

Yuma Abe is also the vocalist and guitarist of Never Young Beach. Japan in the 1950s and 1960s had such a huge influence on Abe that he wanted to actually touch, smell, and see it himself, and even wanted to travel to that era. Therefore, Abe decided to reinterpret Japan at that time in his own way and create his own version. The resulting work is “Hotel New Yuma.”

This work, which is his second solo album, is set at Hotel New Yuuma, a hotel on a southern island where Yuma Abe works as the hotel manager. A collection of theme songs from popular variety shows. The result is a very airy work that gives the feeling that Abe is embarking on a new journey.

Additionally, along with the album release information, the music video for the lead single “Let’s sing together”, which was released on Wednesday, October 16th, was also released.

Furthermore, it has been decided that a tour will be held from December of this year to January of next year, covering seven cities in the United States and Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Abe was selected to open for Brainstory, a three-person band belonging to the American label BIG CROWN RECORDS, for some of the performances in the United States. Official advance reservations for the Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka tours will be held from 18:00 today until November 4th (Monday).

[Comment from Yuma Abe]

▼“Hotel New Yuuma” program overview

This is somewhere in the south. The only hotel on this warm southern island, its name is “Hotel New Yuuma”. Yuma Abe is the hotel manager there. There was a variety show set at “Hotel New Yuuma”. Surprisingly, the host of this program is Yuma Abe, who plays the role of the hotel manager. The program will be broadcast live for 30 minutes on Friday nights from 11:15 p.m. With guests appearing each time, skits, songs, readings, talks, etc. will be held. Short skits based on the theme were performed, with dancing, musical performances, and singing interspersed between them. It was a fast-paced, stylish and exotic program that featured singers performing in skits and comedians as singers.
Despite being broadcast late, it was a popular program that was loved by island residents of all ages and men and women, and was watched by the whole family.
On November 13th of this year, it has been decided that the long-awaited “Hotel New Yuma” theme song collection will be released, which all islanders have been waiting for.
