Reporting from 1 source: KAI-YOU.
Empty old City, a music unit under KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO, will release "Aoyureru Philia feat. Dazbee" featuring South Korean artist Dazbee on August 1. The unit also announced a second concept EP for winter 2026 and its 3rd one-man live on February 12, 2027, at EX THEATER ROPPONGI.
The new song, written and arranged by Neuron, pairs kahoca's vocals with Dazbee's and includes violinist Yuri Kamei. The electro-pop track is themed around "philia," meaning affection, and blends synthesizers with strings. The jacket art shows a figure in white amid blue flowers, matching the unit's story-driven visual style.
Empty old City's second concept EP follows the previous work "From Noir into Clair" and is said to incorporate a "new challenge" with a different approach. The title and tracklist have not been announced. The 3rd one-man live was revealed at the additional performance of the 2nd one-man live, "Strings in Owl ||:echo:||," on July 31. Doors open at 18:00, show starts at 19:00, and the fastest advance ticket reception runs until 23:59 on August 11.
