Yoko Hamasaki returns to solo career with two new albums!

Lead singer for band URBANGARDE Yoko Hamasaki announced that she will be releasing a brand new album titled BIND LOVE July 3. BIND LOVE will be the latest release by Hamasaki since her album Blue Forest back in 2016.

Hamasaki won’t be doing it alone as she will be teaming up with famed music producer Toshiki Kadomatsu. She commented that with this new album she hopes to show the world how she has stepped up as a singer. BIND LOVE will drop with seven tracks total, five of which written and composed by Hamasaki herself.

Hamasaki also announced that she will be releasing a remastered version of her debut album Film noir, upgrading it to the title Film noir ultime which will also be released July 3. The album will not only have its originally released six tracks but three new ones as well.
