It has been decided that NORIKIYO, who has been in prison since June last year, will release his new song “Sogatsuame” as a 7-inch single on May 23rd (Thursday).
The beat for the new song “Satatsu Ame” is provided by KOYAN MUSIC, who is also a member of the rap group SD JUNKSTA to which NORIKIYO belongs. The artwork uses a picture drawn by NORIKIYO himself in prison, and is a drawing of his cell, where he currently lives, with a mechanical pencil. A record (and a new song) whose jacket is a picture drawn by a prisoner will be released while he is in prison.
The coupling track includes “THE GROWER’S CLUB ANTHEM,” which was a collaboration with I-DeA, the producer of NORIKIYO’s signature song “2FACE.” Why did you record this song together? “If you drop the needle on both sides of this record and look at the jacket, a seasoned fan will understand,” NORIKIYO is said to have said in the meeting room.
This product is a limited press of 250 copies, and also includes a download card for the high-quality sound data of the new song “Satogatsu Ame”.Furthermore, from today, April 23rd (Tuesday), it will also serve as NORIKIYO’s official web shop.ZAKAI.JPWe have also started accepting orders for T-shirts (including download cards) printed with pictures and letters that NORIKIYO drew while in prison, which is the basis for this album’s jacket.
Additionally, the designs for new merchandise from “THE GROWER’S CLUB”, which sold out immediately after its release, were also revealed.This is9sari GrouporNEWFUNK STOREHowever, it will be available for purchase starting May 23rd (Thursday).
