Suzuka Yuko, who also works as a vocalist for Japanese instrument band, has been decided to release her new solo album, “SAMURAI DIVA,” on Wednesday, October 29th. This is the long-awaited new album in nine years, and after the album is released, they will also be holding tours in Taiwan as overseas performances in addition to Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka.
After the Japanese Musical Instrument Band hiatus in December 2014, Suzuka Yuko began her solo project in earnest with “Kesara Basara,” which was released on June 8th. This new song focuses on kunoichi and is a song that brings the pride of ninja and the strength of women. The fusion of Shigin’s breath, Japanese instruments, and dance music allows you to enjoy the new world of Suzuka Yuko, and Suzuka herself dances violently and is full of energy and is full of speed and energy. In the music video, this video is packed with a new side to which Suzuka herself takes on a more intense dance performance than ever before, and attention will be paid to the spectacular “Kunoichi Dance” dancing with 15 dancers.
The long-awaited new album, “SAMURAI DIVA,” will combine music from all genres, including “Wa,” with rock, jazz, classical, metal, and dance music, and express the world of one-of-a-kind sound, sublimated with the power and beauty of Japanese. In addition to the pre-single single “Kesara Basara”, the songs will also be included, as well as new songs to be produced for the album, as well as the first recording of “The Thief Cat,” which was only performed live, as well as cover songs selected by fans. Requests have started today on the special website of Suzuka Yuko, Japan Columbia.
The first limited edition also includes footage from the birthday live performance held on June 7th, music videos, off-shot footage, and the premium edition (limited production) comes with merchandise produced by Suzuka herself. The contents of the three-secret set “Hana No SHO-” are “Hana No SHO-” that are proof of “Hana” that only the chosen ones wear, and “Knot Drawstring Bag -musubi-” which shaped the bond with the fans, and “Sing Nature Hana Charm”, which is likely to be a must-have item for fans at a live concert. After the album is released, tours are scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and overseas performances, including Taiwan.
