Southern All Stars to release 55th single and 15th studio album!

[Ryusenkai]

In honor of their 36th anniversary, famous Japanese pop-rock band Southern All Stars have announced the plans for their activities for the remainder of the year.  

 

Firstly, they'll be releasing their 55th single, their first in over a year, this September.  The single's lead track rumored to be a summery number of some kind, but we'll find out more information about this and the remainder of the single at a later date.  

 

Secondly, the band will be holding a live on New Year's Eve at the Kanagawa-Yokohama Arena.  This will be the first time for the band to perform in this fashion since their revival last year, as their last New Year's Eve live took place 9 years ago.

 

Lastly, it has been revealed that the band is currently working on a new original album and aim to complete and release it later this year.  This will be Southern All Star's 15th studio album and their first to be released in 9 years since "Killer Street" in October of 2005.

 

Below, you'll find their "2014 Kick-Off Trailer" which contains a snippet of one of their new songs titled "Tengoku on the Beach (Heaven on the Beach)".  Enjoy!

Finally!  Here's hoping for another Double album in the vein of Killer Street, since that album was long, but brilliant.  Glad to see them getting active again - hopefully they'll stay that way for a while.

OMG!

 

It has been ages since they have release a new album. I am looking forward for their new material. 

 

In the meantime, I will be re-playing some of my fav songs from them.

So you were right!

So you were right!

 

Aye.  It wasn't really like they hiding it though, since they were teasing way too much for this announcement not to be something substantial.  Like I said though, given the 9 year gap, I'm hoping for a double album out of them, since I'll be set for another long wait afterwards with that.
