Universal Music LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naoshi Fujikura) will release Novelbright's 4th full-length album 'PYRAMID' and the live video production 'Novelbright ARENA TOUR 2025 〜Winding Road〜 at Kobe World Memorial Hall' on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
Novelbright is a five-member rock band from Osaka. This work is their first album release in about two years since 'CIRCUS' in April 2024, and their fourth major-label album overall. The title 'PYRAMID' conveys a sense of something that 'no one could have predicted, but is loved globally throughout history,' as well as the surprise of 'who could have created such a thing?'
The album will be available in three formats: First Press Limited Edition (CD+DVD), Regular Edition (CD only), and the fan club exclusive NOVELCITY Edition (CD+DVD). It contains 13 tracks in total, including 6 previously released songs and 7 brand-new recordings. Notable tracks include 'Everywhere I Go' (a collaboration with Korean artist Eric Nam), 'Ivy' (written to celebrate the marriage of Michopa and Shimon Okura), 'Winding Road' (theme song for the drama 'Court Dragon' starring Mone Kamishiraishi), 'Canopus' (based on vocalist Yudai Takenaka's personal experiences), 'Call me' (theme for the KOBELCO 120th anniversary animation 'Ashita no Arika'), and the latest song 'Anemone'.
The new song 'Caravan' is an anthem by Novelbright that depicts the setbacks, loneliness, disappointment, and resilience that everyone experiences on the journey of life. The music video portrays the five members gathering from different locations to eventually perform together, perfectly reflecting the world of the song.
The First Press and NOVELCITY (FC) editions include a bonus video titled 'Road To PYRAMID ~Five of Us Traveling Was Pretty Intense, Right?~'. This features the members traveling to celebrate the album's release and heart-to-heart discussions about their commitment to the band. The first-ever NOVELCITY edition features a unique design where the pyramid depicted on the regular edition jacket can be assembled into a 3D structure.
Simultaneously, a live video work capturing the finale of Novelbright's first-ever arena tour in Kobe will be released. It fully covers the sold-out performance on August 17, 2025, at the Kobe World Memorial Hall. In addition to the main concert footage, it includes a documentary titled 'Behind the scenes of Winding Road tour' providing a close look at the tour's backstage.
