鬼ヶ島 Digital Single "君の夏至になれたら" Out Now
Doubt vocalist Kouki is expanding his artistic horizons with a poignant new single through his solo project 鬼ヶ島 (Onigashima). “君の夏至になれたら” (If I Could Become Your Summer Solstice) dropped digitally today, marking the second installment in the project’s seasonal release series.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, 鬼ヶ島 represents Kouki’s personal creative outlet, designed to release music tied to the four seasons. This summer-focused track arrives as the warmer months begin their fade, capturing that bittersweet melancholy that defines late-season transitions. The song pairs delicate, ephemeral melodies with lyrics that meditate on mortality and impermanence—specifically the memorable line, “Please, I wish to share my remaining days with you.” It’s a message-driven piece that reflects Kouki’s broader artistic vision and his desire to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
Beyond the single itself, Kouki has an ambitious live schedule lined up, beginning with a series of monthly two-man shows in September. The touring schedule includes several sold-out dates already—including a September 23rd clash with guitarist Sakurai Sanki at EDGE Ikebukuro, and an October 20th versus-match with mitsu—plus upcoming appearances through December.
Notable upcoming dates include the Bands Shock Revolution visual festival on October 18th at Hattori Ryokuchi Outdoor Music Hall, plus November and December shows featuring collaborations with Verde and Asaugi respectively at EDGE Ikebukuro.
