The Tale of the Outcasts will be an adaptation of the manga series of the same name by Makoto Hoshino. Published in Weekly Shonen Sunday from August 2019 to April 2021, the series follows Wisteria, an orphan girl living a sad life in the British Empire at the end of the 19th century. One day, she meets Marbas, a powerful immortal being with a strange appearance. The two begin roaming the Empire in search of a place where they can belong. The series is scheduled to begin on TOKYO MX on January 8, 2023.
Currently, the song Rewrite can be Pre-saved, and it will appear in your library as soon as it becomes available.
The group also revealed that a new album, Eye, was on the way. The announcement was made at Hakubi’s solo concert at BIGCAT in Shinsaibashi on November 17, and this new album will be the group’s second full-length album, following their major debut era last year. Hakubi continues to evolve its unique sound, and fans can look forward to a much more emotional release this time around.
Eye will contain a total of 10 songs, including Twilight from the new RPG Memento Mori, Aitagai, Kimi ga Iu you ni Kono Sekai wa from the drama series Seishun Cinderella, and more. The limited first edition will be a 2-disc set with a DVD containing 10 songs from Hakubi’s first hall concert Noise From Here – HALL Edition, held recently at Yebisu The Garden Hall to a packed house. Those pre-ordering the album will snag a CD-R with two demo songs by the vocalist and guitarist Katagiri.
A number of shops will be handing out unique bonuses to those buying the album, so check the official website and social media for more details.
Hakubi will start their solo tour Hakubi One-Man Tour 2023 -Eye to Eye- on April 1 in Fukuoka. Following this, the band will visit eight cities across Japan, with the final performance being held at LINE CLUB SHIBUYA in Tokyo.
