The jacket visual for TUBE's 40th anniversary collaboration album "TUBE x" to be released in July has been unveiled.
In the jacket, the members of TUBE and all the other artists who collaborated on the film appear as avatar-like characters. The composition of all 35 artists lined up in a row creates a pop and glamorous visual befitting a film celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The album features a wide range of artists from different genres and generations, including DA PUMP, Kami Hirose, St. KUNSTER II, FRUITS ZIPPER, THE ALFEE, UMEDA CYPHER x LITTLE from KICK THE CAN CREW, Masahiko Kondo x Tetsuro Oda, and GACKT.
The strong identity of TUBE's "summer" and their individual personalities intersect to create a completely new sound.

Prior to this, TUBE released "All Singles TUBEst -Blue-" and "All Singles TUBEst -White-", an all-singles best of 66 songs, in June, and started a nationwide hall tour to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
With the annual Yokohama Stadium concert coming up in August, the anniversary project to mark this milestone year will continue to unfold.

In addition, in conjunction with the jacket release, comments on the collaboration with TUBE from the participating artists have been arriving one after another, so please be sure to check them out as well.

Comments from participating artists

It was in midwinter, when the production of the new Great Scripture of St. Kaminar II had not yet been completed, and the devil was unusually exhausted, that he suddenly came to me through Zenon Wako. He asked me, "Can we make it together, since we are also celebrating the 40th anniversary of our debut? A song like "Summer Fear" or "Burning Hell"? He also asked me to write a metal song. It's definitely an interesting story," he said. But...when I asked my team members if they could write a song now, fearing that we would run out of ideas, Luke, the chief of staff, raised his hand and, lo and behold, the original song was ready in a few days. I knew he was a monster. I immediately thought of the lyrics. ...After listening to the distinctive opening melody a few times, I realized that it was a "shark" from hell! ...I can't wait for TUBE to hear it. I can't wait for TUBE to hear it...so I sent a tentative song of about 70% and waited for their reaction. The response came back, "It's so perfect we want to make a music video. Not only that, but they had already added some tropical flavor and playfulness to the beginning of the song. That's what I'm talking about! I groaned at the wisdom of a veteran. The pressure points were exquisite. Only those who have endured the "summer hell" for many years could be so fierce!　...I have already exceeded the number of words. The rest of this article will be written another time!
[St. Kaminar II, Demon Lord]

TUBE is touring in the summer! THE ALFEE is touring all year round, and both bands are taking the high road as live bands. After all, there is great significance in a band's longevity. I believe that the fusion of these two bands has resulted in a song that could only have been written by distant relatives. Once again, congratulations on your 40th anniversary! My brother's band celebrates its 51st anniversary!

I think it was about two years ago when I first met Mr. Maeda and he said, "Let's do something together next time. I have been in the industry for a quarter of a century now, and I do not take the verbal promises that abound in this industry on a daily basis seriously.
But my dream came true! I entrusted my passion to my trusty Umeda Cypher, and when I heard TUBE play and Maeda-san sing afterwards, I naturally cried. Hachioji Soul was also great!

TUBE all came to play at my show before my debut. They were sparkling boys. It was more than 40 years ago, and Season in the sun was released in 1986. Since then, we have made various works together. We are, so to speak, friends in arms.
Then, in 1986, Masahiko Kondo covered Baby Rose from my album and cut it as a single.
It is thanks to TUBE and Mr. Masahiko Kondo that I have been recognized as a musician in the world. Thank you TUBE for giving us the opportunity to work together after so many years. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Mae-chan and I have been friends for many years because of our close age and hometown, and when we traveled together to Thailand for a TV location the other day, she asked me for a favor. I was asked to do it, and of course, I said yes with a simple "yes"!
Mae-chan's lyrics were also respectful and celebratory of each other's anniversary, which made me happy that we have been doing this for so long.
I want them to sing enthusiastically at karaoke, shoulder to shoulder with their uncles of the same generation who have worked so hard.

Hello.
Umeda Cypher.
We are honored to have been invited by TUBE to produce "AHH SUMMER DAY" with LITTLE of KICK THE CAN CREW, one of the most senior members of HIPHOP.
The cool beat and rap music, combined with Maeda's powerful voice, create a tropical song with a party atmosphere.
We hope it will be a song that will color your summer of 2025.
Umeda Cypher.
