BLACK CHRISTMAS
■ Project Concept
"BLACK CHRISTMAS" is a song that aims to rewrite the history of Christmas songs and holds the potential for future brand expansion.
As a rock circus that clearly opposes the image of a "beautiful and happy Christmas" and deeply explores the "inner darkness of humanity," we will deliver the unforgiving holy night of Black Christmas to the world over a year with guest vocalists from Japan and Korea.
This project is not merely an album production but a "challenge to the era" that delves into the dark side of Christmas culture.
The 7th track, "Xmas fight," features the descent of BLACK ZAPPA, the king of music from the demon world, and COKURi, a singer with a background as a master of the shamisen and traditional Japanese folk songs.

There was a smile in the window next door. But the star next door was burning, Christmas in two worlds.
In the same world, one experiences a happy Christmas, while another experiences Christmas amidst war. On this same Earth, extreme joy and sorrow are unfolding simultaneously. "Christmas never see the light."
