Music agent site “ZULA (pronounced: Zula, Massenext Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo), which operates the service “Bukiyou na Sayonara,” began distributing IKE’s new song “Bukiyou na Sayonara” on Wednesday, August 21, 2024. “Bukiyou na Sayonara” is available on various music streaming services and download services.
Vocalist IKE resumed his musical activities in July 2023 with the themes of “at his own pace” and “being himself.”
Currently, as a singer, he is featured in the works of artists he is close to. In December 2023, he released his first self-produced work, “MY DEAREST,” for members of his fan club, “HANDSHAKING,” which supports him.
The new song “Bukiyou na Sayonara,” released digitally today, is IKE’s second self-produced work following “MY DEAREST.”
This album features the participation of guitarist Yoshinobu Ohga, whom IKE has always admired, and talented bassist Kazuhiro Sunaga. The album beautifully combines the outstanding performance techniques with IKE’s powerful and expansive singing voice.
The lyrics of this song have the theme of parting and reunion, and while they carry regrets from the past, they hope to meet again with smiles at the end of their respective paths, and paint a positive picture of hope for a reunion.
I hope you will listen to this song, which is filled with IKE’s sincere feelings and passion for music.
“Clumsy Goodbye” is now available on all streaming and download sites.
Since suffering from ulcerative colitis in 2021, he has been performing musically while undergoing treatment, but due to the severe decline in his physical strength caused by the worsening of his symptoms, he has decided that it is difficult to continue his activities and has decided to leave the band and focus on his treatment.
After two years of treatment, she is now in remission and is regaining her strength and energy.
He began to feel a strong desire to continue making music and, in July 2023, he resumed his musical career with the themes of “at his own pace” and “being himself.”
