In March 2025, "On the Love Beach" held a solo concert in Shanghai and Beijing with Toushi Naoki to great success. In 2025, the 30th anniversary of their memorable first album, "On the Love Beach," three of their first works will be reissued on CD and vinyl!
All three albums use the original master tapes and have been thoroughly remastered under the supervision of Shinji Shibayama to produce high-quality sound!
Nagisa ni, the band's third album, released in 1999, is a two-disc masterpiece that occupies a unique position in their history as a quintessential album, even among many fans secretly fond of the original LP. Shibayama's motivation for recording this album was to explore whether the concept he experimented with with Hallelujahs—pursuing the uniqueness and improvisation of performance within a pre-written musical format—would work in a fixed band format rather than a session, and what the results would be. This bold (and reckless) approach involved recording all tracks live in the studio in one take, including the lead vocals, with no re-recordings allowed, and overdubs kept to a minimum, even for choruses. While there are discrepancies between the punk-inspired performance and vocals due to the unedited concept, this is a rare example of the wild energy of a band captured with such high sound quality and rawness in the Jap-rock world, and, regardless of its merits or demerits, it is compelling. The vivid sound quality, capturing the irreversible momentary interplay, demonstrates the outstanding engineering sense of Peace Music's Nakamura Soichiro, and the pride of the rock band "Nagisa nite" is evident everywhere. Another noteworthy point is that this album, "Nagisa nite," contains the most solo works by Takeda Masako. Naturally, this high-quality album has been meticulously remastered from the original master tapes!
