Gori of Garage Sale has formed a new band, Teruya Komuten, in his hometown of Okinawa with Okinawa natives Miyabi (Gt.) and Makki (Ba.), and released their first digital single 'Kokusai Dori' on Wednesday, April 1.
The members hit it off and formed the band based on their common ground of all being from Okinawa. Everyone except the vocalist is a top-tier professional musician, and their performance quality is guaranteed. On the other hand, with self-deprecating remarks like "The vocalist has issues!", their motto is "fun activities," delivering the songs they want to sing at that moment freely without being bound by any specific genre.
This memorable first release is a song that gently and realistically depicts a romance born in "Kokusai Dori," a place deeply familiar to the people of Okinawa Prefecture. The lyrics were written by Gori and the music composed by Miyabi. It is a love song filled with the frustration of an awkward man who can't quite convey his feelings, finished as a track where the city and scenery vividly float into mind.

## ■ Song Explanation
A love song that scoops up the countless romances born in that special place for everyone in Okinawa. The setting is Kokusai Dori, where lively neon lights intersect with the sound of the sanshin. A romance that began in a corner of the street bustling with tourists passes through rainy nights and bar-hopping for cheap drinks, eventually arriving at a serious confession. The clumsiness of writing a letter but not being able to hand it over, the weakness of relying on alcohol, and yet the courage to shout "I love you." It depicts the bittersweetness hidden behind the liveliness, along with the warmth unique to Okinawa, through realistic city scenes. To everyone who fell in love in that place on that day. May this song gently overlap with your memories.

**Gori (Vo.):** Forming a band at this age. Life is about encounters. Challenges give you a reason to live. If you're going to do it, do it seriously. I wrote the lyrics carefully. I hope it reaches you all.
**Miyabi (Gt.):** Gori-nii with his many faces. I am happy to be able to enjoy his new endeavors together, which are slightly different from the him everyone knows. Sending this wonderful singing voice to many people.
**Makki (Ba.):** From our origin Okinawa, Gori's
