① Artist: Super Tozanbu Title: Super Tozanbu Release Date: June 3 (Wed) Price: Regular Edition 3,850 JPY (incl. tax) / Fully Limited Edition 8,800 JPY (incl. tax) Label: Super Climbing Club Introduction: Formed in 2023, this 5-member band is based in Aichi Prefecture. True to their name, they parallel music with mountaineering, performing live shows in mountain huts at around 3,000 meters altitude. Composer Tomoyuki Oda's genre-fusing, free-spirited music stimulates listener imagination, providing stories that evoke nature, while Hina’s emotionally rich, transparent voice provides a 'breeze-like' feeling. Their 'Mountain' × 'Music' concept is truly unique. This album, their 'super best' compilation, contains 14 tracks, including the new song 'Breathe' and the streaming-exclusive 'Hibana'. Buyer Comment: A band that lives up to their name by performing shows on mountain tops! This first, self-titled album is a culmination of their 3-year history—a musical journey felt through the wind.

They frequently hit capacity at club events, sold out their first solo show at Shibuya WWW in February 2026, and performed at VIVA LA ROCK 2026. This major 1st album showcases their musical breadth and includes 'knuckle duster,' the theme song for the film 'Higuma!!' starring Fuku Suzuki. Buyer Comment: Explosive alternative sound based in hardcore, with ear-catching pop melodies. The song 'pile bunker' is a hit with hardcore fans.
