Suga Shikao to include autobiographical essay collection about his life with his mother in new album

■The cover of the book “True Novel: Yaguruto-san’s Song” features a young Suga Shikao!

It has been announced that Suga Shikao’s first autobiographical essay collection, “True Story Novel: Yaguruto-san’s Song,” in which he writes about his own life and that of his mother, will be included in the first production limited edition special package of Suga’s new album, “Acoustic Soul 2014-2024” (released on October 30th).

This paperback collection of essays, over 200 pages long, is a major addition to the “Yagurto-san Series,” which was serialized irregularly on a blog site from 2011 to 2016. The cover features a family photo of young Suga smiling.

In addition, the book contains many photos of Suga’s memories, giving fans a glimpse of the person Suga Shikao is, making it a must-have for fans. There are currently no plans to reprint this book, nor to publish it on its own, so it is sure to be a valuable work.

The album “Acoustic Soul 2014-2024” is composed of four songs selected from the two EPs “ACOUSTIC SOUL” and “ACOUSTIC SOUL 2,” which were released as packages only at live venues and by mail order since 2014, when he decided to return to the major label, and six newly written songs, including “A Letter to You,” the song for the Rebawell CM starring Nao, which became a hot topic in June as a “tear-jerking CM song.” This album is a condensed version of Suga Shikao’s musical activities, from the past to the future.

The album also includes “Yaguruto-san’s Song,” which could be considered the theme song for the aforementioned “True Story Novel Yaguruto-san’s Song.” By reading and listening to both the autobiographical essay collection and the album, which compiles the 10 years of major changes in Suga’s musical career and six new songs, the album also contains the hope that readers will enjoy a glimpse of the close relationship between Suga’s daily life and his creative works.

Details of the nationwide tour “Shikao & The Family Sugar TOUR ~Acoustic Soul~” to be held following the release of the album “Acoustic Soul 2014-2024” were also announced. It was also revealed that it will be a nationwide tour with the band “The Family Sugar” made up of the original members. Check the official website for information on venues, dates and tickets.

■ Comment from Suga Shikao
Yaguruto-san (real mother,OThis is a true story that will make you laugh at the arrogant and unusual antics of the Yaguruto family, cry at the farewell to his father who had terminal cancer, and be moved by the life lessons he taught to those who survived the postwar period. I intended to write about Yaguruto-san, but it ended up being a record of my own half-life as a witness to his events. This is also my autobiography.
