Skirt to release “Extended Vol.1” featuring EP! Free live show to celebrate the release at Daikanyama UNIT!

Sawabe Wataru’s solo project, Skirt, has announced that he will be releasing a featured EP titled “Extended Vol.1” digitally on September 4th.

This work is a featured EP with 5 songs in total, including the previously released single “With the Swaying Rhythm of the Subway feat. Murakami Motoi (Zai-Nichi Funk),” the theme song for the movie “From Zero Meters Deep” “Summer Without Waves feat. adieu,” and “Let’s Go See You feat. Inoue Kagetsu (Laura day romance),” which was used in the collaborative music video for the manga “Hirayasumi,” as well as guest appearances by SPECIAL OTHERS and Pasokon Ongaku Club.

As the title “Extended” suggests, this work allows you to see a new side of Skirt through the featuring.

To celebrate the release of the EP, they also announced that they will hold a free live show “Skirt Presents Honoo no Free Live 2024” at Daikanyama UNIT on September 13th. Special guests for this live show include PUNPEE, who collaborated with them on the opening theme song “ODDTAXI” for the TV anime “Odd Taxi”, as well as Inoue Kagetsu (Laura day romance), and DJ Pasokon Ongaku Club.

There is also a campaign where those who pre-register for the EP’s release will have the chance to win early admission tickets to a free live show, so be sure to check out the EP’s special website for more details.

profile

This unhealthy pop band has gained a reputation among people of all professions, genders, and ages for their somewhat dark yet refreshing songwriting and band ensemble.

In 2006, Wataru Sawabe started his solo project, focusing on multi-track recordings. In 2010, he launched his own label, Kachuka Sounds, and began to take his activities in earnest with the release of his first album, “S.O.S.”

In April 2021, he collaborated with PUNPEE on the opening theme song for the anime series Odd Taxi, Odd Taxi. With his extensive knowledge of comedy, in September 2023, he was a judge for the finals of the UNDER 25 OWARAI CHAMPIONSHIP, a comedy award race limited to those under 25 years old, and wrote the theme song for the competition, Hope and Premonition. He has also been involved in the production of music for numerous other animations, movies, and dramas. In addition, his songwriting skills have led to him providing songs for Takashi Fujii, Kaede (Negicco), Touko Miura, adieu (Moka Kamishiraishi), and others. Furthermore, as a multi-player, Sawabe has participated in live performances and recordings by Spitz, Makoto Kawamoto, Moonriders, and others whom he himself admires, making him a wonderful singer-songwriter and band that attracts attention for its diverse talents and genres.
