Release Info
SOLEIL “SOLEIL is Alright”

SOLEIL, the band fronted by now 15-year-old singer Soleil, has a 2nd album being released very soon! Following the excellent “My Name is SOLEIL” released last March, the new full-length also consists of all original songs with the exception of a cover of Barry Gray’s “UFO” theme and a remake of Hicksville’s “koi no hajimari”. With the same concept as last time, the album takes inspiration from the 60’s and was all recorded in mono!

The new songs include ones written by Takanami K-tarō (Playtime Rock, ex-Pizzicato Five), Yokoyama Ken (Crazy Ken Band), microstar, Sawabe Wataru (Skirt), Moriwaka Kaori (ex-Go-Bang’s), Harada Shinji, and of course members Sally Kubota (Sally Soul Stew, ex-The Phantom Gift, Les 5-4-3-2-1) and Nakamori Yasuhiro (Hicksville), with also lyrics written by Iria (Juicy Fruits) and Kaseki Cider. One song was chosen from a contest open to the public, of which the winner was Gen-yu Nou (of band shinowa).

For those in Japan, grabbing the album at Tower Records can get you a bonus promo poster (while supplies last). Find details here. Free in-store mini-live events will be held on September 30 from 12:00 at Tower Records Shinjuku (7F) (details) and on October 7 from 13:30 at Tower Records Shibuya (4F) (details).

Also, a tour of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka will be held just before the 15-year-old singer temporarily takes a break until next spring to focus on her studies. The Tokyo show will be held on September 22 at Kichijoji Rock Joint JB. Don’t miss it! Tickets are on sale.
