Hasegawa Hakushi releases song "Itteshimatta" with KID FRESINO from new album, and holds first tour

Hasegawa Hakushi’s collaboration with KID FRESINO, “Itte Shimatta,” has been released from his new album “Magical School,” which will be released on Wednesday, July 24th.

This latest song by the two, who have collaborated on the track “youth (feat. Hakushi Hasegawa)” from KID FRESINO’s fourth album “20, Stop it.” (2021) and performed together at live shows, is a fast-paced number with a BPM of over 200. Hakushi Hasegawa himself commented, “I feel that this is the work on the album that I created without understanding the meaning of it the most.”

In addition, Hasegawa Hakushi’s first live tour “HAKUSHI HASEGAWA First tour 2024 Magic School District” has been announced. This will be his first solo live performance since his performance at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo in 2021, and will be held in Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, and Tokyo. KID FRESINO will also be making a guest appearance at the Osaka and Tokyo performances. The official first advance ticket sales will start on Saturday, June 15th at 12:00.

[Comment from Hasegawa Hakushi]

I released a new song called “Gone” that I wrote with KID FRESINO. I feel that this song is the one that I wrote without really understanding what it was about. There’s very little I can explain about it, other than that I’m just running.
We will also be doing our first tour called Magic School District in conjunction with Magic School. KID FRESINO will be joining us for the Osaka and Tokyo shows. It will probably be as much of an attempt as possible to see how I, none other than myself, can respond to the album Magic School. I look forward to seeing you there (Amazing. It’s done.)
