Why it matters
The EP reverses the guest-heavy format of 2025's Tele Club II by putting Peanuts-kun's own beat production in front of almost every track, and the BRIMOIRE dates are his first Zepp tour in two years.

The release carries nine tracks: Rinne, Chancho Narase 808, exorcist, Murderity, Strong Water ~Kukkyo no Mizu~, Beef Bowl Boy, ressentiment, Captain Chancho, and Payback! Peanuts-kun voiced and rapped across the release and produced the beats for eight of the nine songs, with nerdwitchkomugichan, an alias of Age Factory bassist Naoto Nishiguchi, producing the beat for Beef Bowl Boy. Tamada Deniro handled mixing and mastering and played drums on Payback! The jacket design is by Shunpei Koide of Vampillia and VMO, art direction by nabekatsu of Tsuribe Tokyo, and photography by Chiaki Machida. A tour follows the release: BRIMOIRE opens at Zepp Nagoya on Monday, November 2, moves to Zepp Osaka Bayside on Wednesday, November 4, and closes at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo on Thursday, November 12.
Two collaborators carry over from earlier Peanuts-kun records. nerdwitchkomugichan produced the beats for "respawn" and "KidsRoomMan" and worked on the 2022 album "Walk Through the Stars," while Tamada Deniro has long handled Peanuts-kun's sound production.
The EP's framing is a summoning. Peanuts-kun said the songs came out of a production block: "This is a collection of songs born when Peanuts-kun, stuck in production, SUMMONED all kinds of spirits, nuts. The body was nothing more than a vessel for the soul, nuts." He used the same idea for the tour, saying "We will perform rituals in each region," and told audiences: "Please become not spectators but witnesses, nuts."
PANORA lists the release date as October 28, 2026, and credits Peanuts-kun with all vocals. The 2025 album "Tele Club II" featured guests including PUNPEE, Kamui, Ikuta Rira, Daoko, and Kan a.k.a. GAMI; SUMMON TAPE brings his own beats back to the front.
