5-Piece Loud Punk Band DOPERS Announces 2nd EP "Dakkai Emotion" Digital Release on Friday, May 22 & Tokyo-Nagoya-Kobe Release Tour!

DOPERS, an emerging 5-piece loud punk band from Aichi that is expanding their activities in live houses nationwide, announced the digital release of their 2nd EP, "Dakkai Emotion," on Friday, May 22. Along with this, they have decided to hold the "Dakkai Emotion TOUR," a release tour visiting three locations—Tokyo, Nagoya, and Kobe—starting in June. DOPERS is a Japanese loud punk band formed in Aichi Prefecture in 2020. The five members are Kyoga (Vocals), Haru (Guitar), TAZAWA (Guitar), Hiro (Bass), and TAKE (Drums). The band's name is derived from the slang word "dope," meaning "awesome guys," and they officially began activities in May 2021. While actively performing live, mainly at live houses in Nagoya, they went through several member changes before settling into their current lineup in April 2024. They released their first band EP "FUZE" in January 2025, and made their first appearance at "FM802 MINAMI WHEEL 2025" in October of the same year, further accelerating their momentum. This work, "Dakkai Emotion," features a total of 7 tracks, including "GLORY SHIP," which was released by ALL ACCESS RECORDS in September 2024 and became a hot topic. Furthermore, the advance single "Spark my Life" from this EP will be released digitally on Friday, May 8. It is a must-listen piece for loud punk fans, condensing the current charm of DOPERS. Additionally, to commemorate the release of this EP, they announced the "Dakkai Emotion TOUR," a release tour visiting Tokyo, Nagoya, and Kobe, starting with a performance at Shinjuku LOFT on Friday, June 26. For the band, who have already announced their first solo live at Shimokitazawa ReG on Monday, September 23 (Holiday), this tour holds an important position as a prelude to it. It was also announced that the Tokyo performance kicking off this tour, as well as the tour finale in Nagoya, will feature a joint gig with vocalist IKE, while the supporting artist for the Kobe performance will be announced at a later date. First-round advance ticket sales (first-come, first-served) have begun today, so please take this opportunity to purchase them!
