Continuing his celebration of 30 years of band activity, KISAKI has just announced three full albums!!

30th anniversary celebration year

KISAKI started his first band Levia in 1993, which makes this his 30th year of activity in the visual kei scene. A series of commemorative projects is being held throughout this year, and the first, an event with special band THE LOCUS, was completed last week. Today's announcement concerns the second project in this 30th anniversary celebration: a series of full albums released over three consecutive months.

3 consecutive full albums

Each album will be released under the solo moniker KISAKI, but will feature a gorgeous selection of guest players. They will each feature 10 tracks (a mix of new songs and re-recorded songs, presumably from throughout KISAKI's band career) and come in a special tallcase package. Additionally, each album will include an application coupon; those who mail in all three will receive a special 2 disc CD.
