It has been decided that Emi Nakamura will release her seventh major original album “KICKS” on Wednesday, May 29th.
This is the long-awaited release after about 2 years and 10 months since the previous album “Momi”, and an analog record will also be released on July 3rd (Wednesday).
At the same time, new artist photos and album jacket photos were also released.
Over the past few years, including during the coronavirus pandemic, they have performed many live shows, released an 8cm CD, and attempted their first cover song.
Emi Nakamura has been energetically active. While continuing to take on new challenges with producer Hiroshi Kawamura, he had many encounters, and the conflicts and emotions that were born from those encounters were packed into the album along with the word “KICKS.” NakamuraEmi’s roots, HIPHOP and J-POP, are closely intertwined, and we hope you will enjoy this work, which has risen in temperature from her previous work “Momi”.
The album includes “Love at First Sight,” which was written as the official theme song for Shueisha’s “HAPPY PLUS,” and the trilogy “Kyūkyoku no Holiday,” “Daydream,” and “Haruku,” which became a hot topic when released on 8cm CD and broke new ground for NakamuraEmi. ” and a total of 10 songs are scheduled to be included.
And Emi Nakamura KICKS Release Tour 2024 has also been decided. Toured 27 locations nationwide with acoustic and band style.
I want you to experience the new worldview of Emi Nakamura from the special seats.
Other tracks and content that you may be interested in will be gradually revealed in the future, so please look forward to further updates!
