Announced during the Music Station episode aired last Friday, Kanjani8 is the final cast attending the outdoor festival “METROPOLITAN ROCK FESTIVAL 2017”. METROCK is an outdoor event held in Osaka and Tokyo, and this year will take place on May 13, 14, 20, and 21. Kanjani8 is added as a surprise guest performing at the WINDMILL stage at Wakasu Koen Park, Tokyo on May 21. As per the announcement, tickets are already sold out for this show.

Full of pop, rock, and a variety of music, it is a new album that has something to offer to fans of all music genres.
