Japanese singer Subaru Shibutani has announced an online live stream entitled Subaru Shibutani Special Studio Session which will take place on his YouTube channel on October 21, 2020 at 20:00 (JST).

The event will promote the artist’s upcoming second album NEED which is releasing on November 11, 2020. He will perform several songs including new tracks from the forthcoming record together with bandmates. It’s a chance to hear new material from Shibutani before the official release of NEED.

The live stream will be free to watch, so don’t miss out.

Subaru Shibutani is a Japanese singer and actor who began his solo career last year. Since going solo, he has travelled the world while writing music. In April 2019, he announced the launch of his music label “World art.” His first album Nisai hit shelves in October the same year, and in January this year he embarked on his first live tour across Japan and Asia.

Now, a feature length documentary covering all of this is set to be released on July 1, 2020.

The documentary film is entitled Nisai to 364 Nichi (“Two Years and 364 Days) and will be released in Japan on DVD and Blu-ray. Subaru Shibutani’s staff have over 500 hours of footage to use for the documentary, which will cover the recording of the Nisai album, behind-the-scenes of his live tour—which was unfortunately cut short due to the COVID-19 outbreak, forcing dates in Asia and the finale in Osaka to be cancelled—and more. Shibutani’s past year has been edited into a detailed 3-hour feature for the film.

To promote the upcoming releases, Shibutani’s live performance of Boku no Uta taken from the first day of his tour at Makuhari Messe was uploaded to his YouTube channel. Check it out below.
