Kujira, a new generation creator who is gaining attention not only in the music scene but also from many other fields, has announced that he will be digitally releasing a four-song EP titled “INNER CHILD” next week on Wednesday, June 19th. In addition to the already-distributed song “New Days” featuring Shumatsu Uniko and the title song “INNER CHILD” which he sings himself, the album will also feature songs featuring vocalists that Kujira himself admires, such as Matsuo Remi from GLIM SPANKY and Nakagawa Shinnosuke from 36km/h.
A teaser video was posted on YouTube today, June 12th, which allows listeners to hear some of the songs included in the album.
Next month, the TV anime “Senpai wa Otoko no Ko” will begin airing, marking the first tie-up and an unusual move for the two to both perform the opening and ending theme songs.
The ending theme for this tie-up also features singer-songwriter Nishina as a feat, and Kujira’s activities are expanding as he freely moves between his own singing and the creative side of featuring vocals that only he can do.
Kujira will be performing their first solo show at Zepp in October, so keep an eye on them.
