Pop-rock band Negoto recently announced that they will be releasing their fourth full album next year on February 1st. Titled “ETERNALBEAT”, this record will be the group’s first since 2015’s “VISION” and is currently planned to be released in two versions, with the Limited Edition to be packaged with both a second CD (containing remixes of past tracks done by the band’s guitarist Mizuki Masuda) and a DVD (containing music videos related to the album).
“ETERNALBEAT” will consist of 11 songs, including previously released tracks like “DESTINY”, “asymmetry”, and “holy night”, as well as new songs like the Masayuki Nakano (BOOM BOOM SATELLITES) produced “Signal” and the Tatsuki Masuko (ROVO) produced “cross motion”.
