GOTCHAROCKA Reveal New Artist Photos, Announce Summer Single
After months of anticipation, GOTCHAROCKA is stepping into 2026 with fresh momentum. The band has unveiled brand-new artist photography and confirmed the release of their latest single, Suimin / Gekí (Sleep / Drama), arriving August 5th. It’s a striking move as the group powers toward their 14th anniversary milestone.
For those unfamiliar with GOTCHAROCKA, they’ve carved out a distinctive niche in the Visual Kei landscape with their inventive melodic sensibilities and immersive visual identity. The band—vocalist 樹威, guitarists JUN and 十夜—have maintained consistent creative momentum, and this new material promises to deliver the kind of thoughtfully constructed hooks and atmospheric production that define their sound.
Details about track listings, packaging variants, and bonus items will be announced in the coming days, but the single itself marks a significant creative statement for summer 2026.
14th Anniversary Tour in Full Swing
The real story here is the scale of celebration planned. Following the single’s August release, GOTCHAROCKA will launch their Joker on the 14th Moon anniversary tour, which runs from late August through October across multiple Japanese cities. A special duo show, Yoimusebi, kicks things off on August 18th at duo MUSIC EXCHANGE in Tokyo.
The tour proper spans 11 dates hitting venues in Kawaguchi, Sendai, Koriyama, Shizuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka, concluding with a final show at BLAZE Gotanda on October 10th.
Ticket pricing ranges from ¥6,600 to ¥7,700 ($USD ~45–52), with Fan Club presales opening June 30th and general sales starting July 25th via eplus.
