Selected by RecoChoku: Jisoku 36km – 'Overdrive'

Jisoku 36km

A four-member rock band from Egota, Tokyo, Jisoku 36km has been making waves in Tokyo's live house scene since their formation in 2016. Known for their emotionally raw lyrics, heartfelt vocals by Shinnojo Nakagawa, and high-energy sound, the band has steadily built a loyal following.

Jisoku 36km – 'Overdrive'

'Overdrive' arrives ahead of their major-label debut album 'Aka ga Kokon ni nokoru' (Red That Remains Even with Eyes Closed), set for release on June 24. Rather than showcasing change, this track powerfully represents where the band stands after ten years of growth. It carries no pretense, yet radiates deep determination. Their past journey directly fuels the strength of their future. This debut album is highly anticipated not only for the band but also as a significant moment for Tokyo's indie rock scene.

Selected from Eggs / Eggs Pass: Suzuki Kent – 'music is mine'

Suzuki Kent

Suzuki Kent began his full-scale music career in 2021. After performing solo acoustic live shows and participating in band projects such as 'Suzuki Kent & Crazy Boogie Wuggy Band' and 'Motemote Band,' he has continuously explored diverse forms of musical expression.

Suzuki Kent – 'music is mine'

Now, returning to his roots in acoustic performance, Suzuki Kent releases his solo acoustic album 'music is mine.' The album reflects on everyday emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, regret, and love, while gently illuminating small sparks of hope beyond them. All tracks were recorded in single takes, creating an intimate atmosphere as if the artist is performing right beside the listener. This deeply personal work quietly resonates with individual listeners' daily lives. (Eggs staff)
