Enon Kawatani Establishes New Label; indigo la End 9th Album Release & Hall Tour Decided
Enon Kawatani, who leads projects such as indigo la End, Gesu no Kiwami Otome, Genie High, ichikoro, and Raisan, has established a new label, Daphnis records, within Sony Music Labels. It was decided that indigo la End and Raisan will belong to Daphnis records as the first affiliated artists, and it was announced that indigo la End's ninth full album, "Michita Murasaki," will be released on May 20.
indigo la End held the live concert "indigo la End 15th Anniversary Special Series #Final Budokan Performance" to conclude their 15th anniversary at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on Jan. 30 and 31. Near the end of the second day's performance, "Yoru no Ai," the establishment of the new label was announced, and stickers for the new label, Daphnis records, were distributed after the show. Scanning the QR code on the back of this sticker reveals a reservation page for the album "Michita Murasaki," where members' handwritten autographs can be obtained as a bonus.
The album "Michita Murasaki" will be released in four formats. The Completely Limited Production Edition, a first BOX specification for the band, includes an original pouch, scarf, and photobook bundled with the CD. The First Press Limited Edition comes with a Blu-ray / DVD containing footage of the live concert "indigo la End 15th Anniversary Special Series #Final Budokan Performance DAY2 'Yoru no Ai'" held yesterday. Preceding the album release, the new song "Kagura," performed at yesterday's show, will be distributed in advance on Feb. 11.
Also, indigo la End will hold the national hall tour "ONEMAN TOUR 2026 'Murasaki nite'" starting May 30. They will perform live at 20 locations nationwide.
In addition, Raisan will release the mini-album "Killer Pass" digitally on Feb. 18 and on CD from Daphnis records on March 18.
Enon Kawatani Comment
About Daphnis records
It is a label inspired by "Daphnis and Chloe," meaning to be jealous of each other's talents.
Jealousy might be an ugly emotion, but I have gained a lot from it. I'm sure it will continue to be so.
About indigo la End "Michita Murasaki"
As I was making songs, purple vaguely came to mind, and the more production progressed, the deeper that purple became.
I am making the album while imagining the purple that is still filling up now.
It is alternative, challenging, and pop.
When this is completed, we will likely be overflowing with purple.
