Hiromitsu Kitayama Celebrates New Album 'ULTRActi:on' Release with Exclusive MTV Interview Special

MTV, the world's largest music and entertainment channel, will premiere an exclusive, newly filmed interview special titled 'Hiromitsu Kitayama Special -ULTRActi:on-' on Tuesday, July 7, to commemorate the release of Hiromitsu Kitayama's new album 'ULTRActi:on'.

Hiromitsu Kitayama released his new album 'ULTRActi:on' on Wednesday, June 24. This special program delves into the heart of the album through an exclusive interview conducted to mark its release.

During the broadcast, Kitayama shares his thoughts and background behind the creation of 'ULTRActi:on', recounts behind-the-scenes stories from music video shoots, and expresses his enthusiasm for the upcoming live tour. This exclusive interview is packed with rare insights and personal anecdotes available nowhere else.

The album title 'ULTRActi:on' is an original coined word by Kitayama, combining the single title 'ULTRA' (released April 22), 'Action' (meaning action), 'Act' (meaning to perform), and 'ON' from his label name 'RED ON'. Throughout the program, Kitayama discusses how he channels raw emotions directly into music, and reveals his realization that 'writing purely leads to pure communication' in songwriting. He also reflects on his long-standing approach to music—reading lyrics since his student days—and how his youth and the lyrics he once read have become the roots of his current artistic expression. In the final segment, he shares hints about the upcoming 'LIVE TOUR 2026 ULTRActi:on'—a moment not to be missed!

Additionally, MTV will air 'Hiromitsu Kitayama VideoSelects', a special music video showcase, unpacking the artist's charm and current artistic moment.

◇Comment from Hiromitsu Kitayama◇
