SixTONES‘ Taiga Kyomoto will release a CD album, PROT.30, on April 23rd. It’s the first CD release from ART-PUT.
ART-PUT is the creative project of Taiga Kyomoto, who started writing lyrics and composing music at the age of 19, and shooting with SLR and film cameras as a full-fledged art activity.
As part of this project, he has decided to release his first CD album, “PROT.30,” pronounced “proto thirty.”
The album contains 17 songs written and composed by Taiga himself, including bonus tracks for each format. The album shows where Taiga is now after various inputs.
Special features in each edition
[First Edition A] The CD includes the song Ienai, as a bonus track, which was performed on SixTONES‘ pre-debut concert tour and had not previously been made available as a soundtrack.
The bonus video includes the music videos for Prelude, WONDER LAND and Blue night that have been released so far, as well as the music video for the lead track. In addition, a “Documentary of “PROT.30”’ is included, which takes you behind the scenes of the album’s production, from the planning meeting to the recording and making of the music video.
