[CD] Akiba Tatsu

⚪︎ Tatsu Akiba is a talented young musician born in 1997 who writes lyrics and composes music and is influenced by British progressive rock such as YES, GENTLE GIANT, GENESIS, JETHRO TULL, and Canterbury music such as HATFIELD & THE NORTH.

⚪︎3rd album "Akiba Tatsu" will be released on January 28, 2026!
A cutting-edge progressive sound that approaches the Canterbury sound while elevating it to a new dimension with highly musically constructed beauty!

⚪︎My grandfather, Jun Ama, is the author (and co-author) of the progressive guide "100 Progressive Rock of the 21st Century" edited by Strange Days, and has a brain that can be called a databank of progressive rock.
The album also includes commentary by Kenichi Miyajima, an important artist in the progressive and alternative scene!

⚪︎The lead single "2389" from the album, which is filled with an invitation to a refined soundscape with a unique worldview, and in which he handles everything from vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass, composition, and arrangement all by himself, will be released on Wednesday, December 24, 2025!
