GLAY, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary since its debut in 2024, has announced that it will release its long-awaited 17th album, “Back To The Pops,” its first in about three years, on October 9th.
According to leader TAKURO, this work is “GLAY’s proper debut album in their 30th year,” and is a record that is packed with GLAY’s pop music from various angles.
The album contains a wide variety of songs, featuring a diverse range of artists, including Pierre Nakano (drums: M1, M12), Kiyozuka Shinya (piano: M12), Koharu from Charan-Po-Rantan (arrangement: M14), HIDE from GRe4N BOYZ (chorus: M14), and Yamazato Ryota from Nankai Candies (lines: M14).
What’s also surprising is that the order of the songs on this album was decided entirely by drawing lots, which is a bold move that is typical of GLAY, who are celebrating their 30th anniversary since their debut.
The lottery process can also be seen in the bonus footage, so be sure to check it out.
Other bonus footage includes “GLAY DAY SPECIAL “LIVE BY THE SEA”,” which was released for one day only on LINE VOOM on July 31st, and the G-DIRECT limited edition also includes footage from SUMMER SONIC 2024 (GLAY’s performance part) and Kaze to Rock Saishuu de Saigo no Super Arena (GLAY’s performance part), making this an album that you should definitely pick up.
The state of mind that the four members of GLAY have journeyed to is also apparent from the artwork.
I want you to feel their Pops.
