Teikoku Kissa announces details of three consecutive single releases! The first on Wednesday, July 3rd is “Nantokaku,” written and composed by Takuto Sugisaki (Dr)! The band’s biggest tour to date! The band will be holding their 2024 solo tour “Kimi to Sora no Shita Hikari ni Ue Kou” in the fall, including Zepp in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka! Official first-come, first-served tickets have started!

Teikoku Kissa, which successfully held its self-planned live show “Cafe Day 2024” at Namba Hatch in Osaka in April and livened up venues around the country at a large spring festival in May, has announced details of new songs to be released over three consecutive months starting in July, as well as a nationwide tour in the fall.

They announced that they will be releasing singles written and composed by Sugiura Yuki (Gt.Vo), Hikita Akira (Ba), and Sugisaki Takuto (Dr) for three consecutive months on Wednesday, July 3rd, Tuesday, August 6th, and Friday, September 6th, as well as holding the Monthly Live 2024 “LOVE & PEACE & MUSIC IN OUR NEW WORLD” at Shinsaibashi Music Club JANUS. This is a special project unique to Teikoku Kissa, which has three melody makers among its members.
It was announced that the first song will be “Nantokaku,” written and composed by Takuto Sugisaki (drums).
Sugizaki has produced many songs with familiar lyrics and gentle yet fun songs, such as “Anata Biyori” and “Natsu no Yume wa.”
His latest song, “Nantokaku,” is a medium-tempo number that also has the warmth and slowness of good old Japanese rock.

At the same time, the cover of “Nantokaku” was also revealed, designed by Acri (Gt), who also designs merchandise and flyers.
The distinctive illustration of a girl sitting on a balcony with a glass of cider in hand and gazing at the sky with her cat has further raised expectations for the new song.
The new song “Nantokaku” is scheduled to be performed live for the first time on Wednesday, July 3rd at Teikoku Kissa Monthly Live 2024 “LOVE & PEACE & MUSIC IN OUR NEW WORLD LOVE Edition Presented by Takuto Sugisaki.”

Along with the release information, it was also announced that the solo tour 2024 “Let’s go welcome the light under the sky with you” will be held starting in October.
In addition to the already announced Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO) and Zepp Nagoya, the tour will see the band hit Zepp Namba (OSAKA), their largest capacity venue yet, and will visit a total of nine locations, starting at Sapporo PENNY LANE 24.
A teaser video was also released at the same time!
Official advance ticket sales will begin today, June 18th (Tuesday) at 5pm.
Please keep an eye on Teikoku Café as it continues to open new doors in the second half of 2024.

[Comment from Takuto Sugisaki (Dr)]

“I put the words I want someone to say to me, and the words I want to say to someone else, into the lyrics honestly. By incorporating the words we use in our daily lives, without trying to put on airs, I hope to be able to convey a kinder message. When nothing you do goes right, when you don’t know why you’re feeling so down, I hope that listening to this song will somehow make you feel a little better.”

[Comment from Takuto Sugisaki (Dr)]

“Since I don’t often have the opportunity to take the initiative in creating a live show, I want to bring out the best in Teikoku Kissa. And because “LOVE” is the most important thing in my daily life, I want to make this a special day for everyone!”
