/

Popular voice actor-turned-vocalist Toshiki Masuda announced that he will releasing his first album, Diver, on January 8, 2020. Famously known as Reginald Kastle in the multimedia card game conglomerate Yu-Gi-Oh! from the ZEXAL series and Eijiro Kirishima in the popular super hero series My Hero Academia, Masuda just started his career as a solo artist with his track ”This One” back in March. The album will be used to bookend Masuda’s first year in the music industry and will be produced by popular composer Tsubasa Ito, with Esoramu of Setsuna Spiral fame producing on several key tracks as well. 

Releasing with eleven tracks total, Diver will include hit tracks like “This One”, “風にふかれて” (“Kaze ni Fukarete”), and rock tune “Diver”. The album will also drop with two editions: a CD-only standard edition and a CD+DVD limited edition. The DVD includes both the music video for “Diver” and the behind-the-scenes making-of. Masuda also announced that he will be holding two live events In Tokyo’s Zepp DiverCity and Osaka’s Matsushita IMPHall on March 8 and 14 respectively. However, the only way to be able to go to these events is through a lottery system that is only available for fans who bought the limited edition.
