SOLEIL, a great band that has put a stop to its activities at the end of 2019, has two releases coming this February 26, 2020!
The first is a live DVD which consists mainly of the last show held on December 22 at Veats in Shibuya. Seven songs from two other solo shows held earlier in 2019 are also included, plus all of their music videos (also seven of them). This is SOLEIL's first (and last) live DVD!
The other release is a vinyl edition of 3rd album "Lollipop Sixteen" (2019), of which the artwork was a deep wink to Elvis Costello.
SOLEIL was a band with a gentle '60s rock sound fronted by teenage singer Soleil (who previously also sang in Tanqun Democracy), led by producer and bassist Sally Kubota (of The Scooters, les 5-4-3-2-1, The Phantom Gift), and also featuring guitarist Nakamori Yasuhiro (Hicksville) who played in all recordings and in the last show. Other musicians who can be seen on stage on the DVD include support (and recording) drummer Shirane Kenichi (of GREAT3), chorist Moeka (of Machida Girls Choir), and live support guitarist Hirakawa Yuichi (of The Pen Friend Club). Many songwriters contributed music and lyrics to SOLEIL's repertory.
