Sound Horizon starts distribution of “Halloween and Morning Story” commemorating 20th anniversary of major debut and announces details! CD package will be released on March 5, 2025!

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Sound Horizon’s major debut, the music distribution of Beyond Story Maxi’s “Halloween and Morning Story”, which was announced to be released, has started. Seven songs have been distributed, including “Halloween Japanesque ’24”, which was distributed in advance.

This work can be said to be a new frontier for Sound Horizon, who calls his music “narrative music” and has always pioneered new horizons of expression. As the title Beyond Story Maxi suggests, it is a work that embodies “what it means to depict a story through music” with a structure and density that goes beyond the framework of the Story Maxi that Sound Horizon has released in the past. That’s what he said. I would like you to listen and experience it for yourself.

It was also announced that the CD package will be released on March 5, 2025. It will be released in two forms: a special edition and a regular edition, which will be made to order only.

Will details that have not yet been revealed be revealed beyond “Revo’s Halloween Party 2024” to be held on November 23rd and 24th? We want you to immerse yourself in the rich worldview created by Sound Horizon, which involves not only the music but also the live performances and viewers as a stage setting for the story.
