Tokyo's Coolest Sound

3776 (minanaro), the idol unit performed solo by Chiyono Ide, has released this month a brand new and mysterious album titled "The Birth and Death of the Universe through Mount Fuji". Checking the tracklist confirms that this is a deep journey from a distant past to an imaginary future, centered on the living existence of Mount Fuji, 3776's symbol and name source (Mount Fuji being 3776 meters tall).

The album is available on CD, and otherwise digitally only via OTOTOY where it comes with an exclusive digital booklet.

This year, 3776 also released a 8cm CD for Tanzaku CD Day. Also, Chiyono Ide began performing as the icon of new group nicora ray ark (Instagram, 𝕏), which has a much more rock sound.

3776's next announced show in Tokyo will be on February 22. Find details here.
