Crazy Ken Band's 26th album titled "Nani?"
Crazy Ken Band's new album "Nani?" will be released on Sept. 16.
"Nani?", which marks Crazy Ken Band's 26th original album in total, is scheduled to contain 16 tracks. This work allows listeners to fully experience the band's current creative output, and the jacket features a gimmick using the latest technology that will make people think, "Nani kore?" (What is this?).
The first-run limited edition comes with a DVD featuring live footage of the "CRAZY KEN BAND Kareinaru Tour 2025-2026 Presented by NISHIHARA SHOKAI" performance held at Yokohama BUNTAI in Kanagawa in Nov. 2025. Additionally, a UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE limited, completely made-to-order edition will be released. This version includes a pair of Thermos tumblers with the "Nani?" logo on the front, delivered in a special original shipping box. The pre-order period is from 10 a.m. on July 1 to 11:59 p.m. on July 28.
Those who pre-order the completely made-to-order edition will also be entered into a lottery for the chance to watch a rehearsal on the day of the national tour, "CRAZY KEN BAND TOUR Nani? 2026-2027 Presented by NISHIHARA SHOKAI," which begins on Oct. 3. Thirty people will be invited at each venue, and participation is possible even for those who do not have a ticket for the performance.

"Nani kore? (What is this?) CRAZY KEN BAND's 26th brand-new album is born!!! With 29 years since formation, 28 years since debut, and the 45th anniversary of frontman Ken Yokoyama's debut, these old guys must be out of their minds to release an album where a world so fresh, creative, crazy, mellow, sexy, and wild explodes that fans will get sick of it!!! 16 tracks in all!"
