It was announced that the effects of the new coronavirus wouldn't end in Japan, and that the emergency declaration that was originally planned until May 6 will be extended to May 31 due to the current situation. Along with that, many live houses scheduled to be closed until May 6 are expected to be extended. With the extension of the emergency declaration, it becomes a concern that the emergency declaration will end on May 31st. However, in the words of Prime Minister Abe's interview the other day, it was said that it would be possible to hold concerts and events on a gradually smaller scale in the near future. Even if we can't hold an event where people like big festivals get together in the near future, we might be able to open a live house with a capacity of less than 300 people from June onwards. Hopefully, the new coronavirus will fully end during the summer festivals held by SUMMER SONIC and Fuji Rock. ▼ Live house support projects and crowdfunding, now is the time to join hands! There is no doubt that due to the extended suspension of business period, live houses will be even more difficult. Even on the day when business can be resumed, they will be burdened with all sorts of measures such as "3 dense", and they will bear an unprecedented burden. In that sense, it's hard to imagine that the days when we can play in a live house will return soon, just like before. But everyone wants a live house again. In order not to create a live house that will be closed any more, I think that it is the greatest support we can do now by actively participating in existing live house support projects and crowdfunding. Believe it's a little more patience, let's continue to protect the place called the live house. -- Evening Music Records Inc.

The other day, the label "Pizza of Death," to which many rock bands such as Hi-Standard belong, has released the past songs of their artists to each subscription service. Many fans would have cheered for this surprise news. In particular, it was quite a big news that the past songs of Hi-Standrad, which once stood out in the world, were released. It would be deeply moved that the band, which the fans of the past year have loved for many years, released a song with a feeling. Hi-Standard is still known to the younger generation as a legendary band. Hi-standard is also active now, and the legend can be seen in front of you. Even on such Hi-Standrad and Youtube, I released the surprise. It's about releasing past live videos. ▼ The image of the legendary AIR JAM 2011 in the 2011 earthquake year ... From the official Youtube channel of Pizza of Death, Hi-Standard's past live videos has been premium released. This is for a limited time only, and the viewing is due until the end of May. The released video is 2011. From the year of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The 2011 AIR JAM was held at Yokohama Stadium, and the Hi-standard live there has become a legend. The impression that you saw the live video seems to be natural, but the excitement is amazing. It's incomparable to other bands . After all, there are a lot of people who do cloud surfing and dive just by Hi-Standard members appearing on stage. And the first song since the live began, the voltage of the anthem-like "Stay Gold" stadium exploded as you can see on the screen. It's only for a limited time to be able to see such "realistic" images that are "too dangerous", so if you have time, you should definitely take a look. -- Evening Music Records Inc.

The happy news has arrived. Hanaregumi and Rekishi, who are members of the SUPER BUTTER DOG band who once worked together and are now doing solo projects, announced that their past songs will be delivered all at once with subscription services. Until now, Hanaregumi and Rekishi have been popular for their activities. They also appeared a lot at large festivals, and live activities were energetic. However, it is also true that until now, they could not listen to their songs on subscription services, and there was a constant demand for the ban on distribution. Now that the subscription service has been lifted, the hope that many fans have been waiting for has come true. ▼ Can you expect new fans, not just Old fans? There is no doubt that many old fans will be pleased with the decision to deliver to subscription services this time. There will be many people who know them since the days of SUPER BUTTER DOG. But I don't think it's just the old fans who are happy about this. It seems that some people have been interested in their songs but couldn't listen to them without a chance. For those people, this time they can listen to their music. When it comes to acquiring new fans, it also benefits artists. Now that subscription services have become popular, publishing music in this way makes it possible for people who are not just fans to listen to it, which is an opportunity for artists to publicize themselves. Two pairs of subscription bans can be said to be a big part of the Japanese music scene, and I hope everyone will enjoy this opportunity. -- Evening Music Records Inc.

There is a hip-hop crew of three called "舐達麻". They are becoming the representatives of Japan's hip-hop scene, which can be said to be the big names. In Japan, the genre of hip hop has been exciting for a long time. With the spread of music creation tools and free streaming services to date, it may be because more people are becoming artists. In a sense, it is an era where you can become an artist if you do your best without a special sense or talent. Of course, only a few of them sell well. The artists at the forefront, such as Tohji and Shakabozu, seem to have their own unique sense.So why has 舐達麻 been so evaluated? It hasn't been a long time since they were formed, and it's relatively fledgling. So it didn't take long before they were formed and evaluated. What is the reason for that? ▼ Overwhelming masculinity, the "Badness" of the royal style... Anyway, 舐達麻 is full of masculinity. The more you hear it, the more you listen to just one song, or the little bit of live video. Originally, hip hop was underground and a little shunned by the masses. So-called hip-hop people's worries and dangerous atmosphere have long been among some people. They feel like they have that original hip-hop style. Nowadays, there are various hip-hop artists. In live shows, not only men but also women can be seen, and it has become quite popular. It is a proof that Hip-Hop has evolved. There are many artists who can see lyrics, beats, visuals, and elements of female popularity, and we are changing the form from the original hip hop, but I think this is also a pleasure. Among them,舐達麻 sticks to his style. Such a magnificent appearance, they are attracting many female fans as well as male fans. A hybrid artist. -- Evening Music Records Inc.

Surprise news came in. BUMP OF CHICKEN will release the past live Videos and unreleased Music Videos of past songs on YouTube. The live video to be released is said to be the video from the "BUMP OF CHICKEN TOUR 2017-2018 PATH FINDER" tour that took place from 2017 to 2018. Now, with the desire to entertain as many people as possible under the influence of the new coronavirus, a number of popular artists have been offering special services such as the release of live videos on Youtube. Is it that BUMP OF CHICKEN finally entered it? This surprise is not the only one. Of the songs so far, 22 Music Videos will be released at the same time on YouTube. Also, since it is a MV that has not been released on Youtube so far, there will be a lot of people who see it for the first time with this opportunity. This is also an exceptionally rare service. When it comes to artists who have the same level of influence as BUMP OF CHICKEN, there is a lot of reaction. On SNS such as Twitter and instagram, there were many people who expressed joy in this special news. As expected, it's called BUMP OF CHICKEN. ▼ I'm thrilled with the live video, but I still miss the live show? Since many artists to date have released live images from the past, I think many people are enjoying the benefits and having a good time. I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to get to know the music I've been listening to so far, and I can feel that music is getting excited even under these circumstances. But after all, I miss a real live performance. This is a fact that cannot be helped. It's Golden Week right now, and I think many people say that they are full of fun things every year. JAPAN JAM, VIVA LA ROCK, etc. are becoming the norm for Golden Week, but we cannot hold this year. Summer festivals to be held ahead of time are not promised to be held at this time. In that sense, it's frustrating that it's unclear when the days when you can see a live come back. Of course, the atmosphere and extraordinary space unique to live concerts have contributed to clearing daily stress and anxiety. However, now that I haven't had a live show, I'm not able to dissipate the inner frustration. Nowadays, even words such as DV and "Corona divorce" have come out. Many people aren't in a normal state of mind anyway. After all, what seems to change for a real live is neither good nor bad. Should each one of us only focus on solving the current situation? -- Evening Music Records Inc.
