Fujifabric have unveiled the artwork for their upcoming music video collection FAB CLIPS 4 and live concert Fujifabric 15th anniversary SPECIAL LIVE at Osaka-jo Hall 2019 – “IN MY TOWN”, both of which will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on January 29 and February 26 respectively.

Hokkaido-born, Tokyo-based illustrator Jose Franky is credited with having designed the artwork for FAB CLIPS 4. The quirky design has a traditional Japanese touch to it with the addition of the 12 zodiac animals.

The cover design for the live DVD and Blu-ray pays homage to the concert itself held lat Osaka-jo Hall last year to commemorate the band’s 15th anniversary. Its design takes inspiration from kagami biraki, a traditional ceremony in Japan performed at special celebrations and events where people open a “kagami mochi,” a rice cake and Japanese New Year decoration.

A special site has also gone live with information on the two releases. Both are packaged with exclusive goodies with the above-pictured designs at Tower Records or Amazon Japan.

FAB CLIPS 4 is the first music video collection from the band in almost 5 years since FAB CLIPS 3. It includes 14 music videos from Green Bird to their newest single Golden Time. It also features the making-of footage for six of the videos.

The live concert DVD and Blu-ray release at Osaka-jo hall features the full set including the encore. First press copies are coupled with a 40-page booklet.

150 lucky fans who purchase both of these releases will be selected randomly to win one of two prizes: the A-Prize is an invitation to a special talk event hosted by the band, and the B-Prize is a specially-made masu box with the 15th anniversary logo on it.

Fujifabric digitally released their newest song Golden Time on May 19. The song is used as the opening theme song for the ongoing anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, and it’s just been announced that it will be released on CD as a single on July 24.

The song was written and composed by the band’s bassist Shinichi Katō with sentimental lyrics and a melody that has that feeling of of running that Naruto and Boruto songs are known for.

The single will also include O.N.E, a fast-paced and energetic song which was used as part of a campaign for Suntory Tennensui Green Tea. The song was written and composed by the Fujifabric’s own vocalist and guitarist Soichiro Yamauchi.

Regular Edition copies come with anime design packaging as well as the TV edit version of the title track. Limited Edition copies are coupled with a DVD featuring the band’s performance at Zepp DiverCity in Tokyo on April 14 as part of their “FEVERMAN” tour.

As Fujifabric celebrate their 15th anniversary, they show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

The song just aired as the new opening theme song for the ongoing anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The song was written and composed by the band’s bassist Shinichi Katō with sentimental lyrics and a melody that has that feeling of of running that Naruto and Boruto songs are known for.

Japanese rock band Fujifabric released their 10th album “F” in January, which is definitely worth commemorating! The band have just kicked off their Japan tour “Fujifabric LIVE TOUR 2019 “FEVERMAN””, which started on 2nd March 2019.

Fujifabric’s new song “Golden Time” will be the next opening theme song for TXN Network anime BORUTO- NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS!

Fujifabric’s bass player Shinichi Katō wrote the lyrics and music for “Golden Time”. The lyrics were cleverly composed and the music is packed with the feeling of an exciting rush of action.

You can hear the opening theme song “Golden Time” for the first time at 17:30 on Sunday 7th April when the new season is aired.

A comment by Shinichi Katō (bass) :

I wrote this song thinking of the times when we do something for our own sakes or for the hopes and feelings of others; when there is something we must do, and are determined to not allow our feelings to defeat us.

Snuggle up and enjoy the next series of BORUTO which is coming soon!

Fujifabric will release their 10th album F on January 23. The rock band has just released a music video for the featured song Hagan.
