Description:

A new original album of all new songs is now available! Yosoro" is a nautical term meaning to steer a ship in a straight line. The 23rd original album, which marks the return of the band after a period of inactivity, features songs from their debut to the present, such as "Hello! Tokyo," a jazz number arranged by Keiji Matsumoto, and "Nijiiro no Mirai," arranged by Tomi Yo, which expresses the idea that "people are inherently diverse" in the same way as the element of light. Wasabi" was written by Akira Sudo. This is the first time in 17 years since "Chicken Rice" that Makihara has written lyrics for a song he also sings. The jacket, designed by Kotaro Ohkusu, who has worked with numerous artists, depicts a voyage through three-dimensional layers of paint. The DVD of the limited first pressing will include the music video for "Gisou" directed by Takuro Okubo, winner of the Best Pop Video Award at the 2020 "MTV Video Music Awards Japan". It will come in a sleeve case.
