My Song Entertainment (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masatoshi Aoki) is pleased to announce that its artist, Toshiki Iida, will make his major debut with the release of a new album through "Anchor Records" (distributed by Sony Music), a label of Nichion Co., Ltd. (TBS Group), Japan's leading music publisher. Based in the Kansai region, Toshiki Iida is a buzz-worthy artist who has attracted significant attention within the industry for his unique expressive power and worldview, sparking a competitive interest among agencies. He is a multi-talented individual active as a singer-songwriter, illustrator (caricature artist), and beauty advisor. This project, realized through a partnership between My Song and Nichion, features the release of the new album "Showa no Meikyoku Cover Collection Vol. 1: MY SONG" from Anchor Records. The work layers Iida's delicate and emotionally rich vocals over masterpieces carefully selected from Nichion's vast music catalog, bringing out fresh charm in these classic songs. My Song's "Showa Kayou Concert" is a popular series that mobilizes a total of 100,000 people across approximately 200 performances annually. Building on the achievements and expertise established by "THE Quartet," which plays a central role in these events, Toshiki Iida will be professionally produced as a candidate for the "New Star" of the concert series starting in 2026. The album title "MY SONG" carries the meaning of "my own song" as well as the hope that "each song will resonate with and stay close to the lives of each listener." As a presence taking on the Showa Kayou scene of a new era, his future activities are drawing significant attention. ■ CD Details Release Date: Wednesday, April 22, 2026 Title: Showa no Meikyoku Cover Collection Vol. 1 "MY SONG" Artist: Toshiki Iida Product Number/Price: UZCL-2334 / ¥3,000 (¥2,727 excluding tax) Label: Anchor Records Distributor: Sony Music ■ Tracklist - Kimi no Asa (Lyrics: Osami Okamoto, Music: Satoshi Kishida) - Bus Stop (Lyrics: Kazuya Senke, Music: Masahiko Aoi) - Kokoro no Tabi (Lyrics/Music: Kazuo Zaitsu) - Seishun no Kage (Lyrics/Music: Kazuo Zaitsu) - Machi no Akari (Lyrics: Yu Aku, Music: Keisuke Hama) - Gobangai no Marie e (Lyrics: Yu Aku, Music: Shunichi Tokura) - Koi ni Ochite -Fall in love- (Lyrics: Reiko Yukawa, Music: Akiko Kobayashi) - For you...
