Celebrating 15 years as an artist, the new VALSHE releases the third installment in the popular series, the concept mini-album “storyteller III ~THE SCARY STORIES~”!


VALSHE, who will celebrate their 15th year of activity in 2025, have decided to release the third installment of their popular series, the concept mini-album “storyteller III ~THE SCARY STORIES~”!

This will be a completely new mini-album that continues the worldview of their major debut mini-album “storyteller” released in 2010 and “storyteller II ~the Age Limits~” released in 2014.

This work is made up of seven songs, each of which is based on the seven stories told by seven witnesses. As the title suggests, each song is written on the theme of “THE SCARY STORIES – true scary stories.”

The title track “True meaning of…” was composed and arranged by doriko, who is well known for her work on VALSHE songs. The fantastical yet heavy band sound draws you into the world of the album. The crazy lyrics, which can be interpreted as both real and unreal, were written by Takahiro Minato, who is teaming up with VALSHE for the first time in eight years.

Other participants include Umi-kun, Anonymous, okamu., PUPI, G’n-, Yusuke Kikuchi, and many other creators who are new to the project, as well as those with ties to VALSHE.

This is an album that allows you to fully enjoy the intermingling of diverse genres and addictive atmosphere that is unique to VALSHE’s work.

The artwork was done by Hakuseki, who is involved in all of VALSHE’s work, and the booklet is packed with content, featuring original illustrations that Hakuseki has vividly drawn for each song.

We hope you enjoy VALSHE’s masterpiece, which was released after a year and a half with the aim of rebirth.
