Vocalist Asako announced that she will release a brand new album, No Make, Story July 8. This will be the latest release by the artist since her digital single “こっちがいい” (“Kocchi ga Ii”) back in January and will be her second album overall. Not much else is known about the album except that it will include ten tracks total and drop with three editions, a single CD-only standard edition and two CD-only limited editions. There are no differences between the two editions with the album itself; however, the second disc will include a live concert rip of her one-woman live at Tokyo’s Veats Shibuya which took place last year.

Vocalist Asako announced that she will be releasing her first single titled “First Flight” August 7. “First Flight” will be the latest physical release from Asako since her album Fermata back in February.

The single will be composed by keyboardist Hiroki Yokoyama and will drop with three tracks. It will manifest through two editions, a standard CD-only edition and a CD + DVD limited edition. The DVD will include footage from Asako’s one-woman live concert which took place at Shibuya’s O-East Hall earlier in March along with a small behind-the-scenes documentary about the concert (the latter of which you can watch a small preview of below).

To coincide with the release of the single, Asako will also be holding two Tower Record events in Tokyo’s Shinjuku branch and Osaka’s Umeda branch August 10 and 18, respectively. She will hold a small acoustic live along with a CD signing event.

Lastly, Asako announced that she will be holding two one-woman live events at Osaka’s OSAKA MUSE and Tokyo’s Veats Shibuya November 23 and December 8, respectively. During these live events she teased that she’ll be performing new songs just for these events.
