[Machine Translation] Yusuke ( 18-page feature on the front cover ) Yusuke captures small, casual events in our daily lives and delivers strong, sometimes gentle, sometimes heartbreaking messages with his pop sound. This year, in the fourth year since his debut, he released his fourth album "Um.... This year marks the release of his fourth album, "Ano... Encounters with You. Unbound by the image of Yusuke Kamiji as a TV personality that he had always had in his mind, Yusuke has incorporated various genres of music and created this album with an open mind for the listeners. As the title suggests, this album is about encounters, and he himself expressed his confidence in this work, saying that it is his "true self. Daichi Miura ( 10-page feature on the back cover ) Daichi Miura continues to captivate listeners with his world-class beautiful singing voice and dance performances. He has released his first CLIP collection "Choreo Chronicle 2008-2011 Plus". This collection includes works from "Inside Your Head" in 2008, when he started choreographing his own songs, to his recent works. We asked him about his thoughts on this album and his new album, which is expected to be completed this year. UVERworld ( 8-page feature article ) UVERworld has gained a wide range of listeners by fusing various genres of music based on rock and creating unique music. Last year, the band's first documentary film was released. The film was released on DVD as "UVERworld DOCUMENTARY THE SONG". Here is an interview with all the members who were in Osaka for the live performance! Superfly Superfly celebrated the 5th anniversary of their debut last April and completed their album "Force". They have been on a live tour "Superfly Tour 2012-2013 "Live Force"" until January of this year. To close out her 5th anniversary year, she held her arena tour "Superfly 5th Anniversary Super Live GIVE ME TEN!!!!! The tour was held at Osaka-jo Hall. Here is a report on the live performance at Osaka-jo Hall on that tour. Beard: I don't see any easy-to-understand concept in this album. Anyway, there is a heat that I don't understand. If I were to use an analogy, I would say that it reminds me of the feeling I had when I first heard Beard. ...... It's almost like their first album, with an initial impulse that I can't quite grasp. It's a really strange band. In a good sense, there is always a sense of uncertainty about what will happen. And every time, Hisashi Sudo overcomes it and shows us an evolved Beard. In April, Champagne held a live house tour "Venga Venga! - The tour was held in three cities in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka in April. In our last interview with them (Vol.37), they said that the tour would be a culmination of their current activities, and that they would show a new Champagne, so I was personally looking forward to the tour. And the tour title, ......, is very meaningful or rather straightforward ( lol ). Here is a report from the live performance at Umeda CLUB QUATTRO on the second day of the Osaka leg of the tour, which I was curious about in many ways.
