Universal Music LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takashi Fujikura / Universal Music) is King & Prince’s first concept album, “Re:ERA.” ) will be distributed from October 14th (Monday).
King & Prince entered their 6th anniversary year on May 23rd this year. This is his 6th original album and his first concept album. It has also been decided that it will be released on CD on December 11th (Wednesday).
This album includes 16 songs, including new songs such as the title song “WOW” (pronounced: wow), “halfmoon”, “moooove!!”, “Aishikiki Koto”, and “MAGIC WORD”. A single story is depicted through all the songs, and member Kaito Takahashi has drawn all 16 characters for the number of songs included. The regular edition jacket photo depicts the character “ARE-X” (*pronounced: Alex) inspired by “WOW”.
The title song “WOW” was created in collaboration with artist Daichi Miura, music producer UTA, and Takahashi, and the choreography was handled by Miura. The currently released promotional video “WOW” – “Re:ERA beginning” is the beginning of the story of “Re:ERA Project,” which is the core of the concept album.
At Nagase’s request, Ren Nagase’s solo song “Stain” was performed by Daigo Nishihata (Naniwa Danshi) and Yoshinori Masakado (Ae! group), who are from Kansai. Nishihata was in charge of writing the lyrics and chorus, and Masakado was in charge of guitar performance and chorus. The title “Stain” comes from April 3rd, the day the three first met, and the song is a song about the memories and strong friendship that took place from the time the three met to their respective debuts. The names of both groups are also sprinkled throughout the lyrics.
Kaito Takahashi’s solo song “POPSTAR in the KINGDOM” is a collaboration song with artist SKY-HI. The two deepened their friendship after co-starring on a certain program, and at Takahashi’s offer, SKY-HI wrote the lyrics and composed the song. It is a hip-hop-based track filled with Takahashi’s rhymes.
