K-POP boys group Daikoku Danji alumnus and current solo artist MikaL (Michael), active in both Japan and South Korea, has announced the digital release of his new song 'Kaidan ROCK – Someone's There –', written and produced by ghost story teller Ami, on April 11, 2026 (Saturday) via M-Card.

The track was first unveiled as the theme song for the stage production 'Asakusa Kaidan Mansion', written and directed by Ami in February 2026, where it became a topic of conversation among audiences who described it as 'unforgettable' and 'addictive'. This marks its long-awaited official release.

MikaL, known as an avid ghost story enthusiast, has been deeply involved in the world of ghost stories, co-hosting kaidan events with Ami not only in Japan but also in South Korea.

In this work, Ami's unique 'kotodama' (word spirit) blends with MikaL's emotional and powerful vocals, giving birth to an unprecedented 'ghost story × ROCK' expression.

The music video also features a dance performance — MikaL's first since his Daikoku Danji days.

With catchy choreography that makes you want to imitate it and an addictive melody, the work leaves a lasting impression on both eyes and ears.

On release day, April 11 (Saturday), a special release event will be held at Asakusa Hanagekijo theater. The following day, April 12 (Sunday), a release commemorative SPECIAL LIVE has also been confirmed.

The April 12 (Sunday) SPECIAL LIVE will feature a stage mixing 'Kaidan ROCK – Someone's There –' with a variety of other genres, letting audiences fully savor MikaL's acclaimed vocal talent in the unique atmosphere of a live performance.
